2007 FIAT MULTIPLA clutch

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry
leaves, pine needles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.
MUST BE READ!
ENGINE START-UP
Petrol engines with mechanical gearbox:make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the
gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the
ignition key to AVVand release it as soon as the engine has started.
Diesel engines:make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully
depress the clutch without pressing the accelerator; turn the ignition key to MARand wait for the
mwarning light to go off; turn the ignition key to AVVand release it as soon as the engine has
started.

REFUELLING
Petrol engines:only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95
conforming to the European specification EN228.
Diesel engines:only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
Using other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and cause the forfeiture of the
warranty cover for caused damages as a consequence.

ENGINE STARTING
The car is fitted with an electronic engine lock device.
If the engine fails to start, see paragraph “Fiat CODE
system” in section “Dashboard and controls”.
During the initial seconds after the engine has been
started, above all after the vehicle has not been driven
for a while, the engine may be slightly noisier than
usual.
This characteristic feature of the hydraulic tappet
system does not compromise functionality or
reliability. The system devised for Fiat Multipla was
designed to limit servicing.STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL
VERSIONS
IMPORTANT Do not press the accelerator before the
engine is started.
❒Ensure that the handbrake is up.
❒Put the gear lever into neutral.
❒Press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator.
❒Turn the ignition key to AVV and let it go the
moment the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating starting.
WARNINGRunning the engine in confined areas is extremely dangerous. The engine consumes
oxygen and produces carbon monoxide which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.
We recommend that during the initial period you do not drive to full vehicle performance (e.g.:
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top speed, sharp braking, etc.).
When the engine is switched off never leave the ignition key in the MAR position to prevent
pointless current absorption from draining the battery.

OF THE CAR
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warning light ¢
remains lit together with warning light U, turn the
key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning
light remains on, try with the other keys provided with
the car.
If you are still unable to start the engine, perform the
emergency start-up procedure (see “Emergency start-
up” in section “In an emergency”) and contact Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key at MAR
when the engine is off.STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
IMPORTANT When starting up, the accelerator pedal
must be completely released.
❒Ensure that the handbrake is up.
❒Put the gear lever into neutral.
❒Turn the ignition key to MAR. The warning lights
mand ¢will light up on the instrument panel.
❒Wait for the warning lights
mand ¢to go out.
The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will
happen.
❒Press the clutch pedal down to the floor.
❒Turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning
light
mgoes out. If you wait too long you will lose
the benefit of the work done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
The warning light mwill flash for 60 seconds at start-up or during prolonged cranking to signal a
fault in the glow plug heating system. You can use the car as usual if the engine starts but you
should contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX
To engage gears, press down the clutch and shift the gear lever into one
of the positions shown (the diagram is also shown on the gear lever
knob).
To engage reverse (R), wait until the car has stopped and, from neutral
move the gear lever to the right and back.
IMPORTANT The car can only be put into reverse gear when it has
stopped moving completely. With the engine running, before engaging the
reverse, wait at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully down to
prevent damaging and grating the gears.
P0E0243m
Do not drive with your hand resting on the gear lever as the force exerted, even if slight, could lead
over time to premature wear on the gearbox internal components.
To change gears properly you must push the clutch pedal fully down. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the pedals: make sure mats are lying flat and
do not get in the way of the pedals.WARNING

CORRECT USE

DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill or
at idle or high speed: under these conditions the
engine warms up much more slowly, increasing
electrical consumption and emissions. It is therefore
advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding
high speeds. This way the engine will warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic lights or
before switching off the engine. This and also double
declutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars and
also increase consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and road allow,
use a higher gear. Using a low gear to obtain brilliant
performance increases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear increases
consumption, emissions an engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed.
Keep speed as constant as possible and avoid
superfluous braking and accelerating, which cost in
terms of both fuel and emissions.Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs will greatly
affect consumption and emissions: acceleration should
be gradual and should not exceed the maximum
torque.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts do not allow
the engine to reach optimum operating temperature.
This results in a significant increase in consumption
levels (from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle) and
emission of harmful substances.
Traffic situations and road conditions
Rather high consumption levels are tied to situations
with heavy traffic, for example in queues with frequent
use of the lower gears or in cities with many traffic
lights. Also winding mountain roads and rough road
surfaces adversely affect consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level crossings) the
engine should be switched off.
