❒by turning the ignition key to the MAR
position.
2) 3)
WARNING
1) Press button B only with the key
away from your body, specifically
from your eyes and from objects
which could get damaged (e.g.
your clothes). Do not leave the key
unattended to prevent people,
especially children, from
inadvertently pressing the button.
2) Once the dead lock system is
engaged it is impossible to open
the doors from inside the vehicle.
Therefore, before engaging the
system check that there is no one
left inside.3) If the remote control battery is
flat, the system can only be
turned on by inserting the metal
key in the door lock: in this case,
the device remains active for
the rear doors only.
IMPORTANT
1) Used batteries are harmful to the
environment. You can dispose of
them either in the correct
containers as specified by law or
by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with
their disposal.
IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 10:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) can
operate;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable
position).
The ignition switch is fitted with an
electronic safety 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.

STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the key is at STOP, remove the
key and turn the steering wheel until
it locks.
Deactivation
Move the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.
WARNING
4) If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted
theft), have it checked over by a
Fiat Dealership before driving
again.
5) Always remove the key when you
leave your vehicle to prevent
someone from accidentally
operating the controls. Remember
to engage the handbrake.
Engage first gear if the vehicle is
parked uphill or reverse gear if the
vehicle is parked downhill. Never
leave children unattended in the
vehicle.6) Never extract the key while the
vehicle is moving. The steering
wheel will automatically lock
as soon as it is turned. This also
applies to cases in which the
vehicle is towed.
7) It is absolutely forbidden to carry
out any after-market operation
involving steering system or
steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect
performance and safety, cause
the lapse of warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the
vehicle with type approval
requirements.
SYMBOLS
Some vehicle components have
coloured labels whose symbols indicate
precautions to be observed when
using this component. Under the
bonnet there is also a label that
summarises all the symbols.

WARNING
8) Before opening a door, ensure
that you can do it in conditions
of safety.
9) You must not open the left-hand
sliding side door with the fuel cap
open while refuelling. Check that
the fuel cap is closed while
opening/closing the sliding side
door to avoid damage.
10) If you are parked on a slope, do
not leave the sliding door locked
in the open position. An
involuntary impact could unhook
the door, causing it to move.
11) Before leaving the vehicle
parked with the sliding doors
open, always check that they are
locked into place.
12) Always use this device when
carrying children.
13) The spring-loaded system was
designed for optimum usage.
Accidental knocks or a strong
gust of wind may release the
springs, forcing the doors to
close.14) When closing, shut the right
hand door fully before you close
the left hand door. Never shut the
two doors at the same time.
IMPORTANT
2) Make sure that the left sliding
side door is all closed before
refuelling to prevent damage to
the door and to the sliding locking
system with fuel filler cap open,
activated during refuelling.

aftermarket operations involving
steering system or steering
column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly
affect performance and safety.
This also causes the warranty to
become null and void and results
in vehicle non-compliance with
type-approval requirements.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency of
the front seat belts, the vehicle is fitted
with pretensioners. These devices, in
the event of a violent head-on crash or
side impact, rewind the seat belts a
few centimetres. In this way, they
ensure that the belts fit tightly to the
wearer before the restraining action
begins.
The seat belt retractor locks to indicate
that the pretensioner has cut in; the
seat belt cannot be drawn back up
even when guided manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
keeping it tight to the chest and pelvis.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not indicate any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication. Anything
that modifies its original conditions
invalidates its efficiency. If, due to
unusual natural events (floods, sea
storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and mud, it must
absolutely be replaced.

16)
LOAD LIMITERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To increase passenger safety, the
front and rear seat belt retractors (for
versions/markets where provided)
contain a load limiter which controls the
force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining
action in the event of a frontal collision.
GENERAL WARNINGS
FOR USING THE SEAT
BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting
(and ensuring that all the other
passengers also respect) the local laws
in force regarding the use of seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by
pregnant mothers: the risk of injury in
the event of an accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn child
if they are wearing a seat belt. Pregnant
women must position the lower part
of the belt very low down so that it
passes over the pelvis and under the
abdomen (see fig. 127 ).IMPORTANT The belt must not be
twisted. The upper part must pass over
the shoulder and cross the chest
diagonally. The lower part must adhere
to the pelvis (as shown in fig. 128)
rather than the abdomen of the
passenger. Never use devices (clips,
clamps, etc.) that hold the seat belt
away from your body.

from moving accidentally.
PARKING
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;❒engage the gear (on a slope, engage
first gear if the vehicle is facing uphill
or reverse if it is facing downhill)
and leave the wheels steered.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, it is advisable to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone.
To prevent draining the battery, do not
leave the ignition key turned to MAR.
Always remove the key when you leave
the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle. Always remove the ignition
key when leaving the vehicle, and take
it with you.
