IGNITION
DEVICE
The key can be turned to 4 different po-
sitions fig. 9:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be re-
moved, steering column locked. Cer-
tain electrical devices (e.g.: sound sys-
tem, central door locking…) can
work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are powered.
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable posi-
tion).
❒PARK: engine off, parking lights on,
steering column locked. To turn the
key to PARK, press button A.
The ignition switch is fitted with an elec-
tronic safety system that, in the event the
engine is not started, turns back the igni-
tion key to STOPbefore repeating the
starting operation.STEERING COLUMN LOCK
Engaging
When the key is at STOP, remove the
key and turn the steering wheel until it
locks.
Disengaging
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.
If the ignition device is tam-
pered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
When getting out of the ve-
hicle, always remove the key
to prevent any occupants from acci-
dentally activating the controls. Re-
member to engage the handbrake
and if the vehicle is parked on uphill
slope to engage the first gear. If the
vehicle is facing downhill, engage the
reverse gear. Never leave unsuper-
vised children in the vehicle.
WARNING
fig. 9F0N0007m
Never remove the ignition
key while the vehicle is mov-
ing. The steering wheel would auto-
matically lock as soon as you try to
turn it. This also applies when the ve-
hicle is being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in non-
compliance of the vehicle with ho-
mologation requirements.

CORRECT USE

ENGINE
STARTING
The vehicle is fitted with an electronic en-
gine lock device: if the engine fails to start,
see the paragraph “The Fiat CODE sys-
tem” in section “Dashboard and controls”.
We recommend that during
the initial period you do not
drive to full vehicle perfor-
mance (e.g.: excessive accel-
eration, long journeys at top speed,
sharp braking, etc.).
When the engine is switched
off never leave the key into
the ignition switch to prevent
pointless current absorption
from draining the battery.
Running the engine in con-
fined areas is extremely dan-
gerous. The engine consumes oxygen
and produces carbon monoxide
which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.
WARNING
Remember that the servo-
brake and power steering
are not operational until the engine
has been started, therefore much ef-
fort than usual is required on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
WARNING
STARTING PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
❒engage the handbrake;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR: the
warning lights
mand Yon the in-
strument panel will turn on;
❒wait for the warning lights Yand
mto turn off. The hotter the engine
is, the quicker this will happen;
❒press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without pressing the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVVas soon
as warning light
mturns off. If you
wait too long you will lose the bene-
fit of the work done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.

CORRECT USE
OF THE VEHICLE
If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to STOP
before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, the in-
strument panel warning light
Yremains
lit together with warning light
mturn
the key to STOPand then back to MAR;
if the warning lights remain on, try with
the other keys provided with the vehicle.
IMPORTANT If the instrument panel
warning light
Ystays on glowing steadi-
ly, contact immediately Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key
to MARwhen the engine is off.
The warning light
mwill
flash for 60 seconds at start-
up or during prolonged crank-
ing to indicate a fault in the
glow plug heating system. You can use
the vehicle as usual if the engine starts
but you should contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE
ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST
STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine turn
at medium revs. Do not accelerate
abruptly;
❒do not drive at full performance for
the initial kilometres. Wait until the
coolant temperature gauge starts
moving.
Remember that the servo-
brake and power steering are
not operational until the en-
gine has been started, there-
fore much effort than usual is required
on the brake pedal and steering wheel.
Never bump start the engine
by pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill as this could
cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic exhaust system and damage
it beyond repair.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOPwhile the en-
gine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you
should allow the engine to “catch its
breath” before turning it off by letting it
idle to allow the temperature in the en-
gine compartment to fall.
A quick burst on the acceler-
ator before turning off the en-
gine serves absolutely no
practical purpose, it wastes
fuel and is damaging especially to tur-
bocharged engines.

MESSAGES
CRUISE CONTROL
(where provided) (green)
Turning the ignition key to
MARthe warning light will turn on but
it should go off after a few seconds.
The instrument panel warning light turns
on when turning the knurled ring of the
Cruise Control to ON.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
Ü
MAIN BEAMS (blue)
The warning light turns on
when the main beams are
turned on.
1
RIGHT-HAND
DIRECTION
INDICATOR (green -
intermittent)
The warning light turns on when the di-
rection indicator control lever is moved
upwards or, together with the left indica-
tor, when the hazard warning light button
is pressed.
D
ASR SYSTEM
(where provided)
(amber)
Turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light turns on but it
should go off after few seconds. The led
on the ASR button turns on when the sys-
tem is switched off. The warning light
flashes when the ASR system cuts in to
alert the driver that the system is adapt-
ing to the road surface grip conditions.
The turning on of the warning light to-
gether with the message on the display
and the buzzer, also indicates a failure of
the ASR system. In this case contact Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
Messages are displayed when the ASR
function is activated/deactivated manual-
ly (see “ASR system” in section “Dash-
board and controls”).
In versions fitted with ASR system only, at
deactivation (ASR OFF) the warning light
will always stay on.
V
POWER STEERING
FAILURE (red)
Turning the ignition key to
MARthe warning light on the di-
al turns on, but it should go off after few
seconds.
If the warning light stays on together with
the message on the display and the buzzer,
you will not have steering assistance and
the effort on the steering wheel will be in-
creased, steering is however possible.
Contact Fiat Dealership.

IN AN
EMERGENCY
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries:
sparks could ignite the flammable gas from
the battery. If the other battery is fitted in
another vehicle, prevent accidental con-
tacts between the metal parts of the two
vehicles.BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing,
towing, or coasting downhill) as this could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-
haust system and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not operating until the engine is start-
ed, a greater effort will therefore be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and spare wheel call for some pre-
cautions as listed below.
Alert other drivers that the
vehicle is stationary in com-
pliance with the regulations in force:
hazard warning lights, warning trian-
gle etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the vehicle, especially if
it is heavily laden. Passengers should
stay away from oncoming traffic
while the wheel is being changed on.
Pull the handbrake.

JACKING THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle is to be lifted, go to a Fiat
Dealership which is equipped with the arm
hoist or workshop lift.
Jack up the vehicle only by positioning the
jack arms or the shop jack in the points
shown in the figure.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
The vehicle has two eyes for anchoring the
towing device.
When towing, remember that
without the help of the brake
booster and power steering, a greater
effort is required on the pedal and
steering wheel. Do not use flexible ca-
bles for towing and avoid jerks. During
towing operations make sure that fas-
tening the joint to the vehicle does not
damage the components in contact
with it. When towing the vehicle, you
must comply with the specific traffic
regulations regarding the tow ring and
how to tow on the road.
