Frequently Asked Questions:
What happens if I accidentally push the SOS -
Emergency Call Button? You have 10 seconds
after pushing the emergency button to cancel the
call. To cancel the call, push the button again. What type of information is sent when I make an
SOS - Emergency Call from my vehicle?
Certain
vehicle information, such as the VIN, is
transmitted along with last known GPS location.
Also note that emergency service operators may
record conversations and sounds within your
vehicle once a connection is made, and by using
the service you consent to having this information
shared.
When can I use the SOS - Emergency
Call button? You can ONLY Use the
SOS-Emergency Call button to make a

Tire Service Kit Location
WARNING!
Never place anything on or near the vehicle’s
3G and GPS aerials. You could prevent 3G
and GPS signal reception, which can prevent
your vehicle from placing an emergency call.
An operable 3G network connection and a
GPS signal is required for the SOS-
Emergency Call system to function properly.
Do not add any aftermarket electrical
equipment to the vehicle’s electrical system.
This may prevent your vehicle from sending a
signal to initiate an emergency call. To avoid
interference that can cause the
SOS-Emergency Call system to fail, never
add aftermarket equipment (e.g., two-way
mobile radio, CB radio, data recorder, etc.) to
your vehicle’s electrical system or modify the
antennas on your vehicle. IF YOUR VEHICLE
AND SYSTEM LOSES BATTERY POWER FOR
ANY REASON (INCLUDING DURING OR AFTER
AN ACCIDENT) THE SOS FEATURES, APPS
AND SERVICES AMONG OTHERS WILL NOT
OPERATE.
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
turns on the air bag warning light in the
instrument cluster if a malfunction in any
part of the air bag system is detected. If the
air bag warning light is illuminated, the air
bag system may not be working properly and
the SOS-Emergency Call system may not be
able to send a signal to an emergency
service operator. If the air bag warning light
is illuminated, contact the Service Network
to have the air bag system checked
immediately.
Ignoring the LED on the SOS-Emergency Call
button could mean you will not have
emergency call services if needed. If the LED
on SOS-Emergency Call button is illuminated
red, contact the Service Network to have the
emergency call system checked
immediately.
If anyone in the vehicle could be in danger
(e.g., fire or smoke is visible, dangerous road
conditions or location), do not wait for voice
contact from an emergency service operator.
All occupants should exit the vehicle
immediately and move to a safe location.
Failure to perform scheduled maintenance
and regularly inspect your vehicle may result
in vehicle damage, accident or injury.

JUMP STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can be
jump started from the remote battery
connections by using a set of jumper cables and
a battery in another vehicle, or by using a portable
battery booster pack. Jump starting can be
dangerous if done improperly, so please follow
the procedures in this section carefully.

NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack,
follow the manufacturer's operating instructions
and precautions.
REMOTE BATTERY CONNECTION POSTS
Your vehicle is equipped with remote battery
connection posts for jump starting. Depending on
the vehicle model, remote post locations may
vary.
Non Quadrifoglio Model
The remote posts of the battery for jump starting
can be found inside the engine compartment.Remote Jump Starting Post Locations
The remote positive (+) post is located at the rear
of the engine compartment, which can be
accessed by removing the cowl cover, and
opening the spring loaded protective flap. Protective Cowl Cover
Protective Flap And Remote Positive (+) Post
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is
frozen. It could rupture or explode and cause
personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use the battery for jump starting the
vehicle. Improperly connecting the jumper
cables or booster pack to the battery can
result in electrical system and fuse failure.
Always use the remote battery connection
posts to jump start your vehicle.
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or
any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.

positioned next to the passenger side hood lock
on the upper frame rail.
Remote Negative (-) Post Location
To carry out the operation, you need to have the
correct cables to connect to the battery of
another vehicle or a portable battery booster
pack to the remote posts of the discharged
battery. Usually, these cables have terminals at
the ends and are identified by different sheath
colors (red = positive, black = negative).Quadrifoglio Model

Remote Positive (+) Post Location
To carry out the operation, you need to have the
correct cables to connect to the battery of
another vehicle or a portable battery booster
pack to the remote posts of the discharged
battery. Usually, these cables have terminals at
the ends and are identified by different sheath
colors (red = positive, black = negative).
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
Preparation For Jump Starting:
1. Firmly apply the park brake, and cycle the ignition to OFF.
2. Turn off all electrical features in the vehicle.
3. If using another vehicle to jump start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, apply the park brake and make
sure the ignition is OFF.
Cable Connection
Proceed as follows to perform a jump starting
procedure:
1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper
cable to the remote positive (+) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)
jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the
booster battery.
3. Connect the negative (-) end of the jumper
cable to the negative (-) post of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)
jumper cable to the remote negative (-) post
of the discharged vehicle. 5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the
booster battery, let the engine idle a few
minutes, and then start the engine in the
vehicle with the discharged battery. If using a
portable battery booster pack, before starting
the vehicle, wait a few seconds after
completing the connection.
6. Once the engine is started, follow the discon -
nection procedure below.
Cable Disconnection
1. Disconnect the negative (-) end of the jumper
cable from the remote negative (-) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable from the negative (-) post of
the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper
cable from the positive (+) post of the booster
battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable from the remote positive (+)
post of the vehicle with the discharged
battery, and reinstall the protective cap.
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting procedure
could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result
in damage to the charging system of the
booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as
this could establish a ground connection and
personal injury could result.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the
negative (-) post of the discharged battery. The
resulting electrical spark could cause the
battery to explode and could result in serious
injury. Only use the specific ground point, do
not use any other exposed metal parts.
