While refuelling, if the flap is
open, the right-hand side
sliding door cannot be opened.
WARNING
When the vehicle is parked
on a slope, do not block the
sliding door open: any accidental
shock may release the door, thus
leaving it free to move forward.
WARNING
Before leaving the vehicle
parked with sliding doors
open, always check that the latch is
engaged.
WARNING
SIDE SLIDING DOORS
(where provided)
In Cargo versions the side sliding door is
supplied with a spring loaded latch that
stops the door at the end of its stroke
during opening. Block the door by simply
pushing it to the end of its stroke; release
it by pulling forwards with energy.
In any case, make sure that the door is
properly hooked to the system which
keeps the door fully open.
Before opening a door, en-
sure that you can do it in
safe conditions.
WARNING
Before refuelling, make sure
that the right-hand sliding
door is locked. If it is not, the
door and the sliding block sys-
tem may be damaged when the fuel
flap is opened during refuelling oper-
ations.

ENGINE STARTING
The vehicle is provided with an electron-
ic engine lock device: refer to “The Fiat
CODE system” paragraph in the section
“Dashboard and controls” if the engine
will not start.
The engine may be noisier during the first
seconds of operation, particularly after a
long period of inactivity. This does not im-
pair engine operation and reliability, and is
typical of hydraulic tappets: the distribu-
tion system for the petrol engine of your
vehicle has been selected to minimise
maintenance.ENGINE START-UP
PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒press the clutch pedal all the way down
without touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVVand let it
go the moment the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to STOP
before repeating starting.
If with the ignition key on MARthe warn-
ing light Yremains 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 pro-
vided with the vehicle.
If the engine still will not start, perform an
emergency start (see “Emergency start”
in section “In an emergency”) and then
contact a Fiat Dealership. It is advisable not to demand
maximum performance from
your vehicle (e.g. excessive
accelerations, long distances
at top rpm, excessive intense braking,
etc.) as soon as the engine is started.
When the engine is switched
off, never leave the ignition
key in the MAR position to
prevent pointless current ab-
sorption from draining the battery.
Remember that the servo-
brake and electric power
steering are not operational until the
engine is started. Therefore, more ef-
fort than usual is required on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
WARNING
It is dangerous to have the
engine running indoors. The
engine depletes oxygen and dis-
charges carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
