, refer to the corresponding 

sections.

Starting using another 

battery

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.

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.
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.

 

 

►  Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the 

vehicle has one.

►  Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of 

flat battery 

A

 (at the metal elbow), then to the 

(+) terminal of the backup battery 

B

 or of the 

booster.

►  Connect one end of the green or black cable 

to the (-) terminal of the backup battery 

B

 or of 

the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting 
vehicle).

►  Connect the other end of the green or black 

cable to the earth point 

C

.

►  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.

►  Wait for it to return to idle.

►  Disconnect the jump leads 

in reverse order

.

►  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. 

Stop & Start).

To disconnect, proceed in reverse order. 

Automatic gearbox

Never try to start the engine by pushing 

the vehicle.

Charging the battery using a 

battery charger

For optimum service life of the battery, it is 
essential to maintain an adequate state of 
charge.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary to 
charge the battery:
–  When using the vehicle mainly for short 
journeys.

–  If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for 

several weeks.

Contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualified 

workshop.

In the event of a breakdown

To charge the vehicle's battery yourself, 
use only a charger compatible with 

lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of 
12 V.

Follow the instructions provided by the 
manufacturer of the charger.

Never reverse polarities.

It is not necessary to disconnect the 
battery.

►  Switch the ignition off.

►  Switch off all electrical consumers (audio 

system, lighting, wipers, etc.).

 

 

►  Switch off charger 

B

 before connecting 

the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any 
dangerous sparks.

►  Ensure that the charger cables are in good 

condition.

►  Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the 

vehicle has one.

►  Connect the cables of charger 

B

 as follows:

•  the positive (+) red cable to the (+) terminal 

of battery 

A

.

•  the negative (-) black cable to earth point 

C

 

on the vehicle.

►  At the end of the charging operation, switch 

off charger 

B

 before disconnecting the cables 

from battery 

A

.

If this label is present, use only a 12 V 
charger to avoid causing irreversible 

damage to the electrical components.

Frozen battery

Never try to charge a frozen battery - risk 

of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked by 

a Fiat Dealership or by a qualified workshop, 

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.

Disconnecting/reconnecting 

the battery

In order to maintain an adequate state of 
charge for starting the engine, we recommend 
disconnecting the battery if the vehicle is to be 
unused for an extended period.
Before disconnecting the battery:

►  Close all openings (doors, tailgate, windows).

►  Switch off all electricity-consuming devices 

(audio system, wipers, lamps, etc.).

►  Switch off the ignition and wait for 4 minutes.

After accessing the battery, it is only necessary 
to disconnect the (+) terminal.

Start the procedure again.

Following reconnection

After reconnecting the battery, turn on the 
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the 
engine, to enable the electronic systems to 
initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following 
this operation, contact a Fiat Dealership or a 

qualified workshop.

Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise 
certain equipment:
–  Remote control key or electronic key 
(depending on version).
–  Electric windows.
–  Date and time.
–  Preset radio stations.

The Stop & Start system may not be 
operational during the trip following the 

first engine start.

In this case, the system will only be available 
again after a continuous period with the 
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which 
depends on the exterior temperature and the 
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 
hours).

Towing the vehicle

Procedure for having your vehicle towed or 
for towing another vehicle using a removable 
mechanical device.

General recommendations

Observe the legislation in force in the

towed vehicle and must have a valid driving 
licence.

When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on 
the ground, always use an approved towbar; 
ropes and straps are prohibited.

The towing vehicle must move off gently.

When the vehicle is towed with its engine 

off, there is no longer braking and steering 

assistance.

A professional recovery service must 

be called in the following cases:

–  broken down on a motorway or main road;
–  not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, 
unlock the steering, or release the parking 
brake;
–  not possible to tow a vehicle with an 
automatic gearbox, with the engine running;
–  towing with only two wheels on the ground;
–  four-wheel drive vehicle;
–  no approved towbar available.

Before towing the vehicle, it is essential 
to put the vehicle in free-wheeling mode.
