IN AN EMERGENCY
In an emergency we recommend that you call the free-phone number found on the Warranty
Booklet.You can also go to the www.fiat.com website to find your nearest Fiat Dealership.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Contact to a Fiat Dealership immediately if
instrument panel warning light
comes on
constantly.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using
an auxiliary battery with the same capacity or a
little higher than the flat one.
To start the vehicle, proceed as follows:
❒ connect the positive terminals (sign + near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead
fig. 110;
❒ with a second lead, connect the negative terminal
– of the auxiliary battery to an earthing point
on the engine or the gearbox of the car to be
started;
❒ start the engine;
❒ when the engine has been started, remove the
leads reversing the order above.
For versions with Start&Stop system, in case of
starting by auxiliary battery, refer to the paragraph
“Start&Stop system” in the chapter “Getting to
know your car”.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do
not persist but contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite
explosive gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another car, prevent
accidental contact between metallic parts of the two
cars.
