JUMP STARTING
Proceed as follows fig. 1-2 :
1) Lift the protective cover A .
2) Connect positive terminals B ( +
sign near terminal) of the two batter-
ies with a jump lead.
3) With a second lead, connect the
negative terminal C ( – sign near the
terminal) of the auxiliary battery and
to an earthing point
D
E
on the en-
gine or gearbox of the vehicle to be
started.
The battery is in the scuttle on the
floor in front of the passenger’s seat.
If the battery is flat, you can use an-
other battery to start the engine. Its
capacity must be the same or slightly
greater than the flat battery.
Do not directly connect
the two negative termi-
nals: sparks could ignite
the flammable gas from the bat-
tery. If the other battery is fitted
in a vehicle, prevent accidental
contact between the metal parts
of the two vehicles.
4) Start the engine.
5) When the engine has been start-
ed, remove the leads reversing the or-
der above.
If the engine fails to start after a few
attempts, do not keep turning the key
but have the car seen to at a
Fiat
Dealership .
