Emergency procedures
3.1 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.
IMPORTANT:
Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or driving downhill.
Proceed as follows to start the vehicle:
• connect the positive terminals (sign + near the terminal) of the
two batteries with a jump lead;
• with another lead, connect the negative terminal of the auxiliary
battery to an earth point on the engine or the gearbox of the car
to be started;
IMPORTANT:
Never connect the negative lead (–) of the auxiliary battery to the
negative pole A of the vehicle battery, connect it to an earth point of
the engine/gearbox.
• start the engine;
• when the engine has been started, remove the leads reversing
the order above.

Interventions with flat battery
4.3 Robotised gearbox - engagement of Neutral
The procedure for putting the robotised gearbox in neutral in an
emergency is listed below.
IMPORTANT:
Check that the parking brake is engaged.
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON the "robotised gearbox"
system automatically shifts the gearbox to neutral and then, with
brake pedal pressed, enables engine starting.
A persistent acoustic and visual (display) signal might occur if the
command has been sent but the gearbox has not been
automatically shifted to neutral, and therefore remains engaged.
In this case do not tow the vehicle for any reason. To move it, lift the
front wheels.
With the door open the time for shifting to neutral is delayed with
respect to normal operation.
Procedure for jump starting
• supply the vehicle with a charged emergency battery;
• check that the vehicle system is supplied. The panel lights must
not be dimmed nor fade further on;
• pressing the brake pedal, turn the key to MAR-ON;
• wait for five seconds and turn the key to STOP;
• check that the vehicle is in neutral by pushing it.

Vehicle towing/lifting
5.1 Towing attachment points
The tow hook, which is provided with the car, is housed in the tool
box, under the luggage compartment mat.
Fastening the tow hook
• release the cap Aof the bumper pressing in the lower area;
• take the tow hook Bfrom its housing in the tool support;
• fully screw the hook onto the threaded front or rear pin.
5.2 General warnings for towing
Before towing, make sure that the tow hook is fully tightened.
Clean the threaded seat carefully before tightening the hook.
Turn the ignition key to ON and then to OFF and DO NOT
EXTRACT IT.
5. Vehicle towing/lifting

FIAT 500L / 500L Living
Vehicle towing/lifting
If the key is removed, the steering lock will come on automatically
and it will be impossible to steer the wheels.
Remember that the brake servo and the electric power steering are
not available during towing operations. Significantly greater force
must be exerted on the brake pedal and on the steering wheel to
operate them. Do not use flexible cables when towing and avoid
jerky movements.
During towing, make sure that the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching.
Do not start the engine while towing the car.
WARNING:
Towing must be made with gearbox in neutral for versions with manual gearbox or at N for versions with
robotised gearbox. If the battery is flat or there are problems with the gearbox, follow the procedure shown
in paragraph 4.3 "Robotised gearbox - engagement of Neutral". Failure to observe the above instructions
could cause severe damage to the gearbox.
5.3 Vehicle lifting points
When lifting the vehicle with a portable jack or a workshop lift, place
the mountings only in the areas shown in the figure.
