To avoid damaging the

vehicle’s electrical sys-

tem follow the manu-

facturer’s system instructions ac-

companying the jump leads. The

jump leads must be of a suffi-

cient cross-section and long

enough to ensure that the two

vehicles do not touch.

Never use a quick bat-

tery charger to start

the engine in an emer-

gency as this could damage the

electronic systems of your vehi-

cle, particularly the control units

which manage the starting and

supply functions.

The battery terminal

connecting and discon-

necting operations gen-

erate current that may cause

problems to the car’s electronic

systems. Therefore, this opera-

tion should be carried out by

skilled personnel.

At the end of the operation refit the bat-

tery cover.

IMPORTANT If the battery was com-

pletely drained, it may be necessary to

carry out the Alfa Romeo I.C.S. “self-

teaching” operation as follows:

– Let the engine idle to allow the bat-

tery to recharge and make sure it will

start next time.

– Switch the engine off.

– Turn the ignition key to MAR and

leave it in this position for 30 seconds to

1 minute, then turn it to STOP for about

5 to 10 seconds, after which the engine

can be started.

This starting procedure

must be carried out by

qualified personnel as incorrect op-

erations may provoke electrical

discharge of great intensity. The

liquid contained in the battery is

toxic and corrosive. Avoid contact

with skin and eyes.

Keep naked flame, and lighted cig-

arettes away from the battery. Do

not cause sparks.
