JUMP-STARTING

If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper cables and a
battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures in this section
carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer's operating instructions and
precautions.
Preparations For Jump-Start
The battery in your vehicle is located on the left side of the engine compartment. To access the
battery remove the protective cover.
1. Set the parking brake, place the Alfa Twin
Clutch Transmission into first gear and turn
the ignition to OFF.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unneces-
sary electrical accessories.
3. To remove the protective cover off the bat-
tery, pull upward on the cover.
4. If using another vehicle to jump-start the
battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and
make sure the ignition is OFF.
Jump-Starting Procedure

cable to the positive (+) post of the dis-
charged vehicle.

and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
