ANTI-PINCH SAFETY DEVICE
The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety system capable
of detecting the presence of an obstacle whilst the
roof is closing: if this happens, the system intervenes
and the movement of the glass is immediately
reversed.
INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
After the battery has been disconnected or a fuse
has blown, the operation of the sun roof must be
initialised again.
Proceed as follows:
❒press button A fig. 66 until the roof is completely
closed. Release the button;
❒press button A and keep it pressed for at least 10
seconds and/or until the glass panel clicks
forwards. Release the button at this point;
❒press button A within 5 seconds of this operation
and keep it pressed: the glass panel will complete a
full opening and closing cycle. Only release the
button at the end of this cycle.EMERGENCY MANOEUVRE
If the switch does not work, the sun roof can be
operated manually as follows:
❒remove the protective cap A fig. 67 located on the
rear of the inner trim;
❒take the Allen key supplied located in the
container housing the documentation or in the
luggage compartment (versions with automatic
Fix&Go);
❒introduce the Allen key into housing B and turn:
clockwise to open the roof;
- anti-clockwise to close the roof.

STARTING AND DRIVING
STARTING THE ENGINEThe car is fitted with an electronic engine lock
device: if the engine fails to start, see the paragraph
“The Fiat CODE system” in the section “Knowing
your car”.
Engine starting is guaranteed to -18°C (Italy and
central Europe) and -20°C (Northern Europe).
We recommend that during the initial
period you do not demand to full
performance from the car (e.g. excessive
acceleration, long journeys at top speed, sharp
braking etc .).When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.
WARNING
It is dangerous to have the engine
running indoors.The engine consumes
oxygen and engine exhaust contains carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide and other toxic
gasses.
WARNING
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until
the engine has been started, therefore much
effort than usual is required on the brake pedal
and steering wheel.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒engage the handbrake and place the gear lever in
neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR: the warning lightsand
on the instrument panel will turn on;
❒wait for the warning lights
and
to switch
off;
❒press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning
light
switches off. Waiting too long will waste
the heating work carried out by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
IMPORTANT With cold engine, the accelerator must
be entirely released when turning the ignition key
to position AVV.

If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
return the ignition key to STOP before attempting to
start again.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR-ON the
warning light remains lit, turn the key to STOP
and then back to MAR-ON. If the warning light
remains lit, try with the other keys provided with the
car.
If you still cannot start the engine, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Warning light
will flash for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged
cranking to indicate a fault with the glow
plug heating system.You can use the car as usual
if the engine starts but you should contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❒Do not demand full performance at first. Wait
until the engine coolant temperature gauge starts
moving.
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill.This could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
EMERGENCY START-UP
Contact a Fiat Dealership if instrument panel
warning light
(or the symbol on the display) stays
on constantly.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is
idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow
the engine to “catch its breath” before turning it
off by letting it idle to allow the temperature in the
engine compartment to fall.
A quick burst on the accelerator before
stopping the engine serves no practical
purpose; it wastes fuel and is especially
damaging to turbocharged engines.

PARKINGProceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the
car is facing uphill or reverse if it is facing
downhill) and leave the wheels steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car
is parked on a steep slope.
Do not leave the key in the ignition switch to
prevent the battery from running down.
WARNING
Never leave children unattended in the
car. Always remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the car and take it with
you.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake is located between the front seats.
To use the handbrake pull the lever upwards until the
car cannot be moved.
Four or five clicks are generally enough when the car
is on level ground while nine or ten may be required
if the car is on a steep slope and laden.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, contact a Fiat
Dealership for adjustment.When the handbrake is engaged and the ignition key
is at MAR-ON, the
warning light will switch on
in the instrument panel.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
❒slightly lift the handbrake and press release button
A fig. 119;
❒keep button A pressed and lower the lever. The
warning light in the instrument panel will
switch off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this
operation to prevent the car from moving
accidentally.
IMPORTANT For cars equipped with a front
armrest, lift this up to ensure that it does not
interfere with the action of the handbrake.fig. 119
