JUMP STARTING(versions with Start&Stop system)
125)
When jump starting, never connect the

start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT
34)Never connect the negative terminals of
the two batteries directly! If the auxiliary
battery is installed on another car, prevent
accidental contact between metallic parts of
the two cars.35)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.
