Abarth 500e - Jump Starting; Towing the Car

IN AN EMERGENCY
206
JUMP STARTING
Emergency starting with an auxiliary
battery or fast-charging device is
only to be carried out in exceptional
circumstances and after checking that
the high-voltage battery is charged.
Risk of damaging the electrical system
of the car. Contact a Dealership.
STARTER WITH FLAT
HIGH-VOLTAGE BATTERY
AND 12V BATTERY
If it is possible to recharge the
high-voltage battery, do so before
proceeding with the emergency start
on the 12V auxiliary battery. If charging
the high-voltage battery is impossible, it
is necessary:
contact a Dealership;
transport the car with a tow truck
to a public or private charging point
and charge the high-voltage battery
(for transport see the "Towing the car"
chapter in this section).
FLAT HIGH-VOLTAGE
BATTERY AND 12V

In this condition it is possible to move
the car for a few metres, positioning the
ignition device to the ENGINE position
and putting the transmission in position

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the motor by
pushing, towing or driving downhill.
WARNING Remember that the brake
servo and electric power steering
system (where provided) are not active
until the ignition device is in ENGINE
position. A much greater effort will
therefore be required to use the brake
pedal or turn the steering wheel.
