JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, you can use
another battery to start the engine.
Its capacity must be the same or
slightly greater than the flat battery
(see the “Technical Specification”
chapter).
The battery is placed on the left
side of the boot, protected by a
cover.
Before opening the lug-
gage compartment bonnet
to reload the battery or to
connect an auxiliary battery,
carefully read and comply with
the instructions contained in the
paragraph “If battery is to be dis-
connected” in the chapter “In an
emergency”.
Jump starting does not damage the
Lancia CODE system. Proceed as
follows:
1) Disconnect all electrical devices
that are not strictly useful.
2) Lift the boot tailgate by turning
the key metal insert clockwise in the
latch.
3) Loosen the knob A (fig. 1) and
remove the protective cover B.
4) Press flanges A (fig. 2) and
remove the cover B.
5) Connect the positive terminals
(+) A (fig. 3) and B of the two bat-
teries with a jump lead.
6) With a second lead connect first
the negative terminal (–) C of the
auxiliary battery and then the earth
braid D of the car to be started.
