JUMP STARTING

excessively damaged and that the rim is

in good condition, otherwise do not use

it and call roadside assistance. Do not

remove foreign bodies from the tire. Do

not let the compressor turned on for more

than 15 consecutive minutes - overheating

hazard.

285) The information required by the

applicable regulation is indicated on the

Tyre repair kit cartridge label. Carefully

read the cartridge label before use and

avoid improper use. The Tyre repair kit

should be used by adults and cannot be

used by children.

WARNING Charging should be

slow at a low ampere rating for

approximately 24 hours. Regardless

of the duration of the operation, it is

always recommended to disconnect

the battery from the device as soon as

charging is complete to avoid potential

damage.

The vehicle can be used for maximum

1000 km (620 mi) at a maximum

speed: 80 km/h (50 mph). Tyre repair

kit provides a temporary repair,

therefore the tire must be examined

and repaired by a specialist as soon as

possible.

If the indicator doesn't reach the

prescribed pressure within 15 minutes

or if a loss of pressure is found after the

second check the vehicle must not be

used. Stop the compressor and seek

the assistance of a Fiat Dealership.

If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine

can be started using a backup battery

(either external or from another vehicle)

and jump leads or using a battery

booster.

286) If the valve is positioned at 12

o'clock, turn the tyre forwards or

backwards by a quarter of a turn.

A vehicle with a discharged

conventional battery can be started

using jump leads and the conventional

battery of another vehicle.

WARNING

WARNING The driving characteristics

of the repaired tyre are severely

affected, therefore have this tyre

replaced. If unusual noise is heard or

the compressor becomes hot, turn

compressor off for at least 30 min. The

built-in safety valve opens at a pressure

of 600 kPa (6 bar).

118) The sealant fluid is effective with

external temperatures from -30°C to

+50°C. The sealant fluid has an expiry date

and must be replaced periodically. It is

possible to repair tyres with damage on

the tread up to a maximum diameter of 6

mm. Show the cartridge and the label to

the personnel who must handle the tyre

treated with the Tyre repair kit.

Never expose the conventional

battery to naked flames or sparks.

A discharged conventional battery

can already freeze at a temperature of

0 °C. Defrost the frozen battery before

connecting jump leads.

Use a booster battery with the same

voltage (12 V). Its capacity (Ah) must

not be much less than that of the

discharged conventional battery.

IMPORTANT

WARNING

284) WARNING! Do not exceed 80 km/h

(50 mph). Avoid sudden acceleration or

braking. The Tyre repair kit provides a

temporary repair, therefore the tire must

be examined and repaired by a specialist

as soon as possible. Before using the

Tyre repair kit, make sure that the tire isn't

Route the leads so that they cannot

catch on rotating parts in the engine

compartment.

Check beforehand that the backup

battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V

and a capacity at least equal to that of

the discharged battery.

In case of use of an assisting vehicle:

start the engine on the assisting vehicle

and leave it running for a few minutes.

Operate the starter on the broken

down vehicle and let the engine run. If

the engine does not start immediately,

switch off the ignition and wait a few

moments before trying again.

To start the engine:

The two vehicles must not be in

contact with each other.

1. Start the engine of the vehicle

providing the jump.

Switch off all electricity-consuming

equipment on both vehicles (audio

system, wipers, lighting, etc.).

Make sure that the jump leads are well

away from the engine’s moving parts

(fan, belt, etc.). Do not disconnect the

(+) terminal while the engine is running.

Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,

if the vehicle has one.

2. After 5 minutes, start the other

engine. Start attempts should be made

for no longer than 15 seconds at an

interval of 1 minute.

Wait for it to return to idle.

Disconnect the jump leads

Reverse above sequence exactly when

removing leads.

3. Allow both engines to idle for

approx. 3 minutes with the leads

connected.

Refit the plastic cover to the (+)

terminal, if the vehicle has one.

4. Switch on electrical consumers e.g.

headlights, heated rear window.

5. Reverse above sequence exactly

when removing leads.

Allow the engine to run for at least 30

minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so

that the battery reaches an adequate

state of charge.Driving immediately

without having reached a sufficient

level of charge may affect some of the

vehicle's functions (e.g. e-Auto mode).

Proceed as follows:

Starting using a backup battery

or an assisting vehicle (case A

STARTING USING A

BACKUP BATTERY OR

A BOOSTER (HYBRID

VERSIONS)

Connect the red cable to the positive

terminal (+) of the discharged battery

(at the metal elbow) (2) fig. 296, then to

the positive (+) terminal of the backup

battery (1).

Connect one end of the black cable

to the negative (–) terminal of the

backup battery (1) (or to an earth point

on the assisting vehicle).

Connect the other end of the black

cable to the vehicle grounding point

(5) fig. 296 near the 12V battery in the

engine compartment.

Starting using a booster (case B

fig. 296)

The hybrid system starts the vehicle,

but a 12 V supply is required.

There are several reasons why the

vehicle cannot be started. If the 12 V

battery is flat, the 12 V power supply

can be ensured using a backup battery

(either external or from another vehicle)

and jumpleads or using a battery

booster or using a battery charger.

Never use a 24 V or higher battery

booster.

Connect the red cable to the positive

terminal (+) of flat battery (at the metal

elbow) (2) fig. 296, then to the positive

(+) terminal of the booster (1).

Connect the end of the black cable

of the booster to the vehicle grounding

point (5) fig. 296 near the 12V battery in

the engine compartment.

Operate the starter on the broken

down vehicle and let the engine run. If

the engine does not start immediately,

227

switch off the ignition and wait a few

moments before trying again.

Wait for it to return to idle.

The two vehicles must not be in contact

with each other. Switch off all electricity-

consuming equipment on both vehicles

(audio system, wipers, lighting, etc.). Make

sure that the jump leads are well away

from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,

etc.). Do not disconnect the (+) terminal

while the engine is running.

123) Driving immediately without having

reached a sufficient level of charge may

affect some of the vehicle's functions (e.g.

Stop-Start).

290) Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,

watches, bracelets), that might cause an

accidental electrical contact and cause

serious injury.

291) Protect your eyes and face before

handling the battery. All operations on

the battery must be carried out in a well

ventilated area and away from naked

flames and sources of sparks, to avoid any

risk of explosion or fire. Wash your hands

afterwards.

292) Never try to charge a frozen battery -

risk of explosion! If the battery has frozen,

have it checked by a Fiat Dealership, who

will verify that the internal components

have not been damaged and that the case

has not cracked, which could lead to a risk

of leakage of toxic and corrosive acid.

Disconnect the jump leads

Reverse above sequence exactly when

removing leads.

Refit the plastic cover to the (+)

terminal, if the vehicle has one.

Allow the engine to run for at least 30

minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so

that the battery reaches an adequate

state of charge.Driving immediately

without having reached a sufficient

level of charge may affect some of the

vehicle's functions (e.g. e-Auto mode).

WARNING

8) These batteries contain harmful

substances (sulphuric acid and lead).

They must be disposed of in accordance

with regulations and must never under

any circumstances be discarded with

household waste. Dispose of used

batteries at a designated collection point.

WARNING

IMPORTANT

119) Never jump start another vehicle with

an electric vehicle.

287) Be extremely careful when starting

with jump leads. Any deviation from the

following instructions can lead to injuries

or damage caused by battery explosion or

damage to the electrical systems of both

vehicles.

288) Avoid contact of the battery fluid with

eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces.

The fluid contains sulphuric acid which can

cause injuries and damage in the event of

direct contact.

289) 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.

120) Never connect the negative jump

lead to the metal part of the electronic

control units or at the back of the

headlamps. Risk of destroying the

electronic control units and/or headlamps!

Connect to the remote earth point

provided for this purpose.

121) With automatic gearbox/Electric

Drive Unit, never try to start the engine by

pushing the vehicle.

122) Never start the engine by connecting

a battery charger. Never use a 24 V or

higher battery booster. Check beforehand

that the backup battery has a nominal

voltage of 12 V and a capacity at least

equal to that of the discharged battery.
