STARTING DEVICE
The key can be turned to three different positions fig. 7:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be extracted, steering locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. radio, central door locking
system, etc.) can operate.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices can oper-
ate.
❒AVV: engine starting (temporary position).
The starting device is fitted with an electronic safety sys-
tem that, should the engine fail to start, forces you to turn
the ignition key back to STOP before repeating the start-
ing operation.

wheel until it locks.

key to MAR.
If the starting device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it

as possible.

Never extract the key while the vehicle is
moving. The steering wheel should lock au-
tomatically as soon as it is turned. This is always
the case, even when the vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
aftersales operation involving steering sys-
tem or steering column modifications (e.g. installing
an anti-theft device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, invalidate the warranty and
also result in the vehicle failing to comply with reg-
ulations.
WARNING
When getting out of the vehicle, always re-
move the key to prevent someone from
accidentally activating the controls. Remember to
engage the handbrake. Engage first gear if the ve-
hicle is parked uphill or reverse gear if the vehi-
cle is parked downhill. Never leave children un-
attended in the vehicle.

REV COUNTER fig. 12
The rev counter shows the number of engine rpm.
WARNING The electronic injection control system grad-
ually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is over-
revving, resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate
a gradual or sudden increase in the rate.
This is normal and does not indicate a fault. It may be
caused, for example, by the operation of the climate con-
trol system or fan. In such cases, a slight increase in engine
idle speed helps to sustain the battery charge.INSTRUMENTS
Instrument background colour and type may vary ac-
cording to the version.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 13
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant and
starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds ap-
prox. 50 °C.
In normal usage, the needle should hover around the mid-
dleofthescale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
Warning light B may light up (and a message on the multi-
function display may appear on certain versions) to indicate
that the coolant temperature is too high; in this case, stop
the engine and contact the Fiat Service Network.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 13
This shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full (see “Refuelling”).
Warning light A comes on to indicate that approximately
8-10 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.
WARNING The needle will point to E and warning light
A will flash to indicate a fault in the system. If this is the
case, go to the Fiat Service Network to have the system
checked.
If the needle enters the red zone, switch off
the engine immediately and contact the
Fiat Service Network.
