If the battery is flat, the engine may be
started using an auxiliary battery with the
same capacity or a little higher than the
flat one.
Never use a quick battery
charger for the emergency
start: this might damage the
electronic system and the en-
gine start/supply control units.
WARNING

formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
electrical discharge of considerable
intensity. Furthermore, battery fluid
is poisonous and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with your skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the battery.
