JUMP STARTING
186) 187) 188) 189) 190)
40)
Starting the engine that supplies
electrical power and keeping it at
medium speed.
To start, if you use the battery from
another vehicle, you need to have the
right cables (large size) from a Fiat
Dealership or, if you already have them,
make sure they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries have to have nominal
identical voltage: 12 Volt The battery
that supplies the power has to have a
capacity (amperes/hour, Ah) that is at
least identical to the dead battery.
Make sure that there is no contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuit at the moment the positive poles
are in contact) and that the dead
battery is well connected. Disengage
the starter device.Depending on the versions, unhook the
battery guard.
Connect positive cable A fig. 268 to
terminal 1 (+) fig. 268 then to terminal 4
(+) fig. 268 of the battery supplying the
power.
Connect negative cable B fig. 268 to
terminal 3 (-) fig. 268 from the battery
supplying power, then to terminal 2 (-)
fig. 268 of the dead battery.
Start the engine and as soon as it turns
over, disconnect cables A and B in
reverse order (2-3-4-1) .
WARNING
186)Check that the wires A and B are not
touching and that the positive cable A does
not touch any metal component of the
vehicle providing the current. You risk injury
and/or damage to the vehicle.187)Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the "S" (Stop) position.
Follow the indications on the plate
underneath the bonnet.
188)Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
189)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
190)The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Therefore, keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
40)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.

BATTERY
RECHARGING
191) 192) 193) 194) 195)
To avoid risk of sparks:check that electrical utilities (courtesy
lights and so on) are off before
disconnecting or reconnecting a
battery;
while recharging, turn off the battery
charger before connecting or
disconnecting the battery;
do not place metal objects on the
battery, to prevent a short circuit
between terminals;
wait at least one minute after
stopping the engine before
disconnecting the battery;
check that the terminals have been
reconnected to the battery correctly
after having refitted it.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger has to be
compatible with a nominal voltage of
12 Volts.
Do not disconnect the battery while the
engine is started. Follow the battery
charger manufacturer's instructions for
the battery you plan to use.
WARNING
191)Handle the battery carefully, because
it contains sulphuric acid that must not
come into contact with eyes or skin. If that
happens, rinse thoroughly with water. If
necessary, see a doctor. Keep open
flames, incandescent items and sources of
sparks far from the battery's elements: risk
of explosion. When you intervene near the
engine, this last could be hot. Moreover,
the cooling fan could start up at any time.
The
warning light in the engine
compartment serves to remind you of this
condition. Risk of injury.
192)Some batteries can have specific
recharging rules, please ask for information
at a Fiat Dealership. Avoid the risk of
sparks that could cause an immediate
explosion. Proceed with the recharging in a
well ventilated place. Danger of serious
injury.
193)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your skin and
eyes. The battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks:
danger of explosion and fire.
194)Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first, otherwise it
may explode. If freezing has occurred, the
battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal
elements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.195)Always turn off the ignition device
before working in the engine compartment
(refer to the “The keys” paragraph in the
“Knowing your vehicle” chapter).

198)When towing, remember that greater
effort is required on the brake pedal in
order to brake, since the brake servo is not
providing assistance. Do not use flexible
cables when towing and avoid jerky
movements. During towing operations,
make sure that the fastened joint does not
damage adjoining components. When
towing the vehicle, it is necessary to obey
specific road regulations which relate both
to the towing device as well as to the
behaviour to adopt on the road. Do not
start the engine whilst the vehicle is being
towed.
IMPORTANT
41)With the engine stopped, the power
steering and power brakes no longer work.
42)Do not take the starter device from the
starter switch or reader while towing.
43)The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road. You
are allowed to tow the vehicle for short
distances using an appropriate device in
accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transport via a
breakdown vehicle. Tow rings MUST NOT
be used to tow vehicles off the road or
where there are obstacles and/or for
towing operations using cables or other
non-rigid devices. In compliance with the
above conditions, towing must take place
with the two vehicles (one towing, the other
towed) aligned as much as possible along
the same centre line.
