EMERGENCY STARTING fig. 69
In the case of emergency starting with an
auxiliary battery, never connect the nega-
tive lead (–) of the auxiliary battery to the
negative pole C of the car battery, but
rather to either the false pole B or to an en-
gine/gearbox earth point
IMPORTANT NOTES
If the battery is replaced, al-
ways go to a Fiat Dealer. Re-
place the battery with one of the
same type (HEAVY DUTY) and with
the same specifications.
WARNING
Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the car is
switched off and the key is in the OFF
position. Follow the instructions on
the plate near the front crossmember
fig. 70. It is advisable to extract the
key when there are other people in
the car. The car should always be left
after the key has been removed or
turned to the OFF position. During re-
fuelling operations, it is necessary to
make sure that the car is off with the
ignition key in the OFF position.
WARNING
For cars with a robotized
transmission, if the engine
cuts out automatically on a gradient,
it is advisable to restart the engine
operating the gear lever towards (+)
or (–) without releasing the brake
pedal. For vehicles with robotized
transmission where the Hill Holder
function is present, if the engine cuts
out automatically whilst driving up-
hill, it is advisable to restart it by op-
erating the gear lever towards (+) or
towards (–) without releasing the
brake pedal to make the Hill Holder
function available.
WARNING
If you want to make the
most of climate comfort, the
Start&Stop system can be disabled to
allow continuous operation of the cli-
mate control system.
