Never remove the igni-
tion key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering
wheel would automatically lock
as soon as you try to turn it. This
also applies when the vehicle is
being towed.
It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation in-
volving steering system or steer-
ing column modifications (e.g.: in-
stallation of anti-theft device)
that could badly affect perfor-
mance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the vehicle
with homologation require-
ments.
IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 4 different
positions fig. 26:

moved, steering column locked. Some
electrical devices can be worked (e.g.

tampered with (e.g.: at-
tempted theft), have it
checked over by a Fiat Dealership

vehicle, always remove
the ignition key. This will
prevent anyone from accidental-
ly working the controls. Remem-
ber to apply the handbrake and,
if the vehicle is faced down on a
steep slope engage the first gear.
If it is facing up, engage the re-
verse gear. Never leave unsuper-
vised children in the vehicle.
