Never use a fast battery-charger to start
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car,
particularly the ignition and fuel supply
control units.
WARNING
This procedure must be performed by
expert personnel because
incorrect
actions could cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames and lighted cigarettes away from the
battery and do not cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not active
until the engine is started. A much greater effort
will therefore be required to use the brake pedal or
turn the steering wheel.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the "Fix&Go Automatic
Kit": see the paragraph “Automatic Fix&Go
Kit” for how to use this device. As an alternative
to the “Automatic Fix&Go Kit” the car may be
equipped with a space-saver wheel: see the
instructions on the following pages for changing
the tyre.
WARNING
The space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets where provided)
is specific
to your car, do not use it on other models, or
use the space-saver wheel of other models
on your car. The space-saver wheel must
only be used in case of emergency. It must
only be used for the distance necessary
to reach a service point and the car speed
must not exceed 80 km/h. The space-saver
wheel has an orange sticker that summarises
the main cautions for use and limitations.
Never remove or cover the label. The
following information is provided in four
languages on the label: "Important! For
temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
with a standard tyre as soon as possible.
Never cover this indication." Never apply a
hub cap on a space-saver wheel.
