If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by an Abarth Dealership as soon
as possible.
WARNING
When getting out of the car, always
remove the key to prevent someone
from accidentally activating the controls.

is parked on a slope uphill, engage the first
gear; if the car is facing downhill, engage the
reverse gear. Never leave children unattended
in the car.
WARNING
IGNITION
The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 9:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be extracted, steering
locked. Some electrical devices (e.g. sound system,
central door locking system, etc.) may work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electric devices can
operate.
❒AVV: engine starting (temporary position).

system that requires the ignition key to be turned back
to STOP if the engine will not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.

automatically lock as soon as you try to turn it.
This is always the case, even when the vehicle is
being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-sales operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.
installing an anti-theft device) which could
adversely affect performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty and also result in the car
failing to comply with regulations.
WARNINGSTEERING LOCK
