Jump Starting; Bump Starting; Emergency Starting - Fiat DOBLO 2016 Owner's Handbook Manual

WARNING
28) The label on the Fix&Go kit's packaging
gives the information required by the laws
in force. To ensure that the Fix&Go kit is
safe and effective, it is essential to comply
with all the instructions given on the label.
Carefully read the label before use, avoid
improper use. Fix&Go is subject to
expiration and must be replaced
periodically. The kit should be used by
adults and cannot be used by children.
WARNING
129) Show the package and the label to
the personnel charged with handling
the tyre treated with the tyre repair kit.
130) Fix&Go provides a temporary repair,
therefore the tyre must be examined and
repaired by a specialist as soon as
possible. The sealing fluid is effective at
temperatures between -40°C and +50°C. It
is possible to repair tyres which have
been damaged on tread up to a diameter
of 4mm; however, tyres damaged on
their side cannot be repaired. Before using
Fix&Go kit, ensure that the tyre isn't
excessively damaged and that the rim is in
good condition, otherwise do not use it
and contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not
remove foreign bodies from the tyre. Do
not let the compressor turned on for more
than 20 consecutive minutes - overheating
hazard.
EMERGENCY
STARTING
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if
warning light stays on constantly on
the instrument panel.

JUMP STARTING

If the battery is flat, it is possible to start
the engine using an auxiliary battery
with the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the vehicle
fig. 205:
connect the positive terminals (+
mark near the terminal) of the two
batteries using a suitable lead;
with a second lead, connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to an earthing point
engine or the gearbox of the vehicle to
be started;
start the engine;
when the engine has been started,
remove the cables reversing the order
above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership.
205
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come out of
the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, avoid any
metal parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from accidentally
on the
coming into contact.
