PLUG-IN HYBRID VERSION
CONVENTIONAL FLAT BATTERY
If the conventional battery of the car is
flat, it can be jump started or a portable
booster can be used with nominal voltage
of 12 volts.
When using a portable booster with a
nominal voltage of 12V/24V, make sure
that the selector is correctly positioned
on 12 Volt.
Pay attention to the dedicated label,
fig. 319, located on the cover of the
conventional battery.
WARNING DO NOT apply a voltage higher
than 15 Volts under any circumstances in
case of jump starting.
319 J0A6167E
If both the conventional battery and
the high-voltage battery are flat, charge
the conventional battery first, in order
to start the system and allow the heat
engine to start in order to move the car.
We suggest then, to also charge the high-
voltage battery.
WARNING
399) 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.
400) Remove any metal objects (e.g.
rings, watches, bracelets), that might
cause an accidental electrical contact and
cause serious injury.
401) The batteries contain acid that can
burn skin or eyes. Batteries produce
hydrogen, which is easily flammable and
explosive. Thus keep away flames or
devices which may cause sparks.
402) Do not attempt jump starting if the
conventional battery is frozen. It may
break or explode during operation.
403) Do not allow vehicles to touch each
other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could
result.
404) Failure to observe this procedure
could cause injuries or damage due to the
explosion of the conventional battery.
405) Do not connect the cable to
the negative terminal (-) of the flat
conventional battery. The following
spark could lead to conventional battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use
any other exposed metallic part.
IMPORTANT
119) Do not use the booster battery or
any other source of external supply with
voltage above 12 V: the conventional
battery, the starter, the alternator and the
electrical system could be damaged.
120) Never use a fast battery charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems, particularly the engine
ignition and fuel supply control units.
121) Accessories connected to the power
sockets of the car draw current from the
conventional battery even when not in use
(e.g. mobile phones, etc.). These devices,
if left connected too much time with
engine off, may cause the conventional
battery to drain with following reduction
of its life and/or failure to start the
engine.
