IGNITION
The key can be turned to 3 different po-
sitions fig. 9:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be extract-
ed, steering locked. Some electrical de-
vices (e.g. sound system, central door
locking system, etc.) can function.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices can function.
❒AVV: engine starting (temporary posi-
tion).
The ignition device is fitted with an elec-
tronic safety system that, in the event the
engine fails to start, turns back the ignition
key to STOPbefore repeating the start-
ing operation.STEERING LOCK
Engagement
When the key is in position STOP, re-
move it and turn the steering wheel until
it locks.
Disengagement
Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the key to MAR.
If the ignition device has
been tampered with (e.g. an
attempted theft), have it checked
over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Always remove the key when
you leave your car to pre-
vent someone from accidentally op-
erating the controls. Remember to
engage the handbrake. Engage first
gear if the car is parked uphill or re-
verse if the car is parked downhill.
Never leave children unattended in
the car.
WARNING
fig. 9F0M0015m
Never extract the key while
the vehicle is moving. The
steering wheel would lock automati-
cally as soon as it is turned. This also
applies to when the car is towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out any after-market
operation involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g. in-
stallation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and
also result in the car not complying
with regulations.

SPEEDOMETER fig. 12
This shows the speed of the vehicle.REV COUNTER fig. 13
The rev counter shows the number of en-
gine revolutions per minute.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is over-revving, re-
sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden increase
of the rate.
This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
It may be caused, for example, by the op-
eration of the climate control system or
fan. In these cases, a slow change in revs
is used to protect the battery charge.
