IGNITION SWITCH
fig. 11
The key can turn through 4 different
positions:
S -engine off, key can be removed
and the steering column is locked;
M -drive position;
D -starting the engine.When you get out of the
vehicle, always remove
the ignition key. This will
prevent anyone from accidental-
ly working controls. Remember
to apply the handbrake and, if the
vehicle is pointing uphill, first
gear. Put the vehicle into reverse
if it is pointing downhill. Never
leave children in the vehicle by
themselves.
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
To engage the lock:when the ig-
nition switch is in position S, remove
the ignition key and turn the steering
wheel until it locks.
To release the lock:move the
steering wheel slightly as you turn the
ignition key toM.Never remove the igni-
tion key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering
wheel would automatically lock
as soon as you tried to turn it.
This always applies, even when
the vehicle is being towed.

If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to
steal your vehicle), get a Fiat
Dealership to check it over be-
fore you start driving again.
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 car with
homologation requirements.

tion indicators will not flash; after
some attempts, the device stops
working for around 20 seconds. In
these 20 seconds, the door can be
locked or unlocked manually without
the electrical system coming into play.
After the 20-second period, the con-
trol unit is ready to receive commands
once more.
If the reason for the malfunction has
been removed, the device will start to
work properly again. If not, it will cut
out once more.“Door open” alarm

Warning light ucomes on when the
coolant is too hot.
Even travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case it is better to stop
and turn off the engine. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.
FUEL GAUGE
The instrument shows the level of fu-
el in the tank.
The reserve warning light Kwill light
up to indicate that there are approxi-
mately 5÷8 litres of fuel level left in the
tank and that refuelling is needed as
soon as possible.
Do not travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: the gaps in fuel delivery
could damage the catalyser.
MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY
(with sound system)
CONTROLS fig. 79a
A– button for opening the main menu
B– buttons for surfing the main menu REV COUNTER
If the needle is in the red zone, it
shows your vehicle is overrevving.
This is only acceptable for a few mo-
ments.
IMPORTANTThe electronic in-
jection control system cuts off the
flow of fuel when the engine is “over-
revving”. This will lead to a loss of en-
gine power.
When the engine is running idle, the
revolution counter can indicate a
gradual or sudden revolution in-
crease. This is normal and should not
worry you, since it usually happens
during normal operations, such as the
climate system activation or the fan
activation. In particular, a slow revo-
lution variation is needed to preserve
the battery charge.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Under normal conditions, the needle
of the temperature gauge should hov-
er around the middle of the scale. If
it approaches the red section it means
the engine is being overtaxed and you
should reduce your demands on it.C– button for confirming the se-
lected function or for confirming set
