ENGINE STARTING
If the instrument panel warning light
Y
turns on glowing steadily, contact im-
mediately Fiat Dealership.
Never use a quick battery
charger for the emergency
start: this might damage the
electronic system and the en-
gine start/supply control units.
This procedure must be per-
formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
electrical discharge of considerable
intensity. Furthermore, battery fluid
is poisonous and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with your skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the battery.
No smoking. Do not cause sparks.
