IGNITION SWITCHThe key can be turned to 3 different positions
fig. 15:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering
column locked. Some electrical devices (e.g.
radio, central door locking system, electronic
alarm, etc.) are enabled.
❒MAR-ON: driving position. All electrical devices
are enabled.

The ignition switch is fitted with a safety system
that requires the ignition key to be turned back to
STOP if the engine does not start, before the
starting operation can be repeated.
WARNING
If the ignition switch is tampered with
(e.g. attempted theft), have it checked
over by a Fiat Dealership before driving again.
WARNING
Always remove the key when you leave
your car to prevent someone from
accidentally operating the controls. Remember
to engage the handbrake. If the car is parked
on uphill slope, engage the first gear; if the car
is facing downhill, engage the reverse gear.
Never leave children unattended in the car.
