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.
