(the visible metal part of the car engine
with flat conventional battery) far from
the conventional battery and the fuel
injection system
start the vehicle engine with the
supplementary battery, let it idle for a
few minutes. Start the engine of the car

Cable disconnection
Once the engine has been started,
remove the cables proceeding as follows:
disconnect the end of the cable used
for negative (-) from the engine earth of
the vehicle with flat conventional battery
disconnect the other end of the cable
used for negative (–) from the negative
terminal (–) of the supplementary
battery
disconnect the end of the cable used
for positive (+) from the positive terminal
(+) of the supplementary battery
disconnect one end of the cable used
for positive (+) from the positive terminal
(+) of the car with flat conventional
battery
reinstall the protective cover on the

If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
If jump starting is often necessary,
have the conventional battery and the

Romeo Dealership.
BUMP STARTING
Never, under any circumstances, jump
start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
WARNING
185) Do not get too close to the radiator
cooling fan: the electric fan may start;
danger of injury. Scarves, ties and other
loose clothing might be pulled by moving
parts.
186) Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
187) The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
IMPORTANT
78) Never use a fast battery charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems, particularly the engine
ignition and fuel supply control units.
79) Do not connect the cable to the negative
terminal (–) of the flat conventional battery.
The following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only use
the specific earth point; do not use any other
exposed metallic part.
