CORRECT USE OF THE
CAR
IN AN
EMERGENCY
IMPORTANT Never connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries directly:
sparks could ignite explosive gas released
from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another car, prevent acciden-
tal contact between metallic parts of the
two cars. BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could
cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic con-
verter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not operating until the engine is start-
ed, a greater effort will therefore be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and spare wheel call for some pre-
cautions as listed below.
Indicate that the car is sta-
tionary according to the laws
in force: hazard lights, triangle, etc.
Passengers should leave the car, par-
ticularly if it is very loaded and wait
for the wheel to be changed away
from on-coming traffic. Apply the
handbrake.
