GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch ped-
al fully and shift the gear lever into one of
the required positions (the diagram is
shown on the knob fig. 2).
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be en-
gaged when the car is at a standstill. With
the engine running, wait for at least 2 sec-
onds with the clutch pedal fully pressed
before engaging reverse to prevent dam-
age to the gears and grating.

to change gears correctly.
For this reason, there must be no ob-
stacles on the floor under the pedals:
make sure that mat are always flat
and do not interfere with the pedals.

resting on the gear lever as
the force exer ted, even if
slight, could lead over time to
premature wear on the gearbox inter-
nal components.To engage reverse R from neutral position,

STARTING THE
ENGINE
EMERGENCY START-UP
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately
if instrument panel warning light
comes
on steady.
JUMP STARTING fig. 1
If the battery is flat, the engine may be
started using an auxiliary battery with the
same capacity or a little
higher than the
flat one. Proceed as follows to start the engine:
connect positive terminals (+near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a
jump lead;
with a second lead, connect the nega-
tive terminal (–) of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing point on the engine or
the gearbox of the car to be
started;
start the engine;
when the engine has been started, re-
move the leads reversing the order
above.
If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not insist but contact the
near-
est Fiat Dealership.
This procedure must be per-
formed by expert personnel
because incorrect actions may cause
electrical
discharge of considerable in-
tensity. Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact
with your skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames away from the battery.
No
smoking. Do not cause sparks.
