STOPPING THE CAR
To stop the car, simply release the accel-
erator pedal and, if necessary press the
brake pedal.
Regardless of the gear engaged and the op-
erating mode activated (MANUAL or AU-
TO) the system automatically disengages
the clutch and shifts to a lower gear.
Stopping the car the system automatical-
ly engages the first gear (1).PARKING THE CAR
To park the car safely it is absolutely nec-
essary to engage first gear (1) or reverse
(R) and also the handbrake if the car is on
a slope.
When turning off the engine with the car
on an uphill slope and a gear engaged, it
is absolutely necessary to wait for the dis-
play showing the gear engaged to go off
before releasing the brake pedal.
If the gearbox is in neutral (N) and want-
ing to engage a parking gear, the system
should be activated and with the foot on
the brake pedal it is necessary to engage
first gear (1) or reverse (R).
TOWING THE CAR
See the instructions contained in para-
graph “Towing the car” in section “In an
emergency”. BUZZER WARNINGS
The buzzer is activated when:
❒reverse gear is engaged (R);
❒clutch overheating occurs when mov-
ing off (in this case it is necessary to
“force” start-up without hesitation or,
if the car is on a slope, release the ac-
celerator and use the brake pedal to
stop the car);
❒an attempt is made to start the engine
with a gear engaged and the brake ped-
al is not pressed completely;
Still for safety reasons, when the car is sta-
tionary, with engine started gear engaged,
the system activates the buzzer and au-
tomatically shifts to neutral (N) when:
❒no action is made on the accelerator
and/or brake pedal for at least 3 min-
utes;
❒the brake is pressed for over 10 min-
utes;
❒the driver’s door is opened and no ac-
tion is made on the accelerator and
brake by at least 2 seconds;
❒a gearbox failure has been detected.

ENGINE STARTING
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 fig. 1:
❒Connect positive terminals (+ near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a
jump lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
and to an earthing point
Eon the en-
gine or the gearbox of the car to be
started;
❒Start the engine;
❒When the engine has been started, re-
move the leads reversing the order
above.
If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not insist but contact the near-
est Fiat Dealership.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 car, prevent accidental contacts
between the metal parts of the two cars.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 servo-
brake and electrical power steering sys-
tem are not operating until the engine is
started, a greater effort will therefore be
required to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
fig. 1F0C0194m
Under no circumstances
should a battery charger be
used to start the engine: it
could damage the electronic
systems and in particular the ignition
and injection control units.
Do not carry out this proce-
dure if you lack experience;
if it is not done correctly it can cause
very intense electrical discharges. In
addition, the fluid contained in the
battery is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. You
are also advised not to put naked
flames or lighted cigarettes near the
battery and not to cause sparks.

TOWING SELESPEED
VERSIONS
For versions with Selespeed gearbox,
make sure that it is in neutral Nchecking
that the car moves when pushed) and pro-
ceed as for towing a normal car with me-
chanical gearbox following the instructions
given previously.
If setting to neutral is not possible, do not
tow the car. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
Before starting to tow, turn
the ignition key to MAR and
then to STOP. Do not remove the
key. If the key is removed, the steer-
ing lock engages automatically re-
sulting in the impossibility to steer the
wheels.
WARNING
When towing, remember
that without the help of the
servobrake and power steering, a
greater effort is required on the ped-
al and steering wheel. Do not use
flexible cables for towing and avoid
jerks. During towing operations make
sure that fastening the joint to the car
does not damage the components in
contact with it. When towing the car,
you must comply with the specific
traffic regulations regarding the tow
ring and how to tow on the road.
WARNING
Do not start the engine
when towing the car.

ANNUAL INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
For cars with an annual mileage of below
30.000 km (for example about 15.000 km)
the following yearly inspection programme
is advised:
❒check tyre conditions/wear and adjust
pressure if required (including the
space-saver spare wheel);
❒check light system operation (head-
lights, direction indicators, hazard lights,
boot lights, passenger compartment
lights, glovebox light, warning lights,
etc.);
❒check windscreen wiper/washer oper-
ation, adjust nozzles;
❒check windscreen/rear window blade

locks, and lever cleanness and lubrica-
tion
❒check battery charge (by optical depth
gauge);
❒visual check on various drive belt con-
ditions;
❒check and top up fluid levels (engine
coolant, brakes, windscreen washer,
battery, etc.);
