can only be started using the key in
such cases.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating
the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the
Start&Stop system is deactivated. The
driver is informed about the fault
through the switching on of the
icon
together with a message on the
display. In this case, contact a Fiat

attention must be paid to the
disconnection of the battery power
supply. Proceed as follows: detach
connector A fig. 134 (by pressing
button B) from sensor C for monitoring
the status of the battery installed on
the negative battery pole D. This sensor
should never be disconnected from
the pole except if the battery is

Start&Stop system is activated. In this case the
LED located on the
button is off (see the
“Start&Stop” paragraph in the "Knowing your
vehicle" chapter).

30) Remember that the brake servo
and power steering are not
operational until the engine has
been started, so you need to apply
much more force than usual to
the brake pedal and steering
wheel.
31) Never start the engine by
pushing, towing or driving
downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter
and damage it beyond repair.
32) A quick burst on the accelerator
before turning off the engine
serves absolutely no practical
purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to
turbocharged engines.
33) In some cases, when the engine
switches off, the fan could
activate for max. 120 seconds.
WARNING
134) It is dangerous to run the
engine in enclosed areas. The
engine takes in oxygen and
releases carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
PARKING
Proceed 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.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, it is advisable to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the key in the ignition as
this drains the battery. Always remove
the key when you leave the car.
135)
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located to the
left of the driver's seat fig. 172. Pull the
lever upwards to engage the handbrake
and ensure that the vehicle does not
move.
IMPORTANT Make sure that the
handbrake is engaged in such a way as
to ensure the stationing of the vehicle,
especially in the case of steep slopes
and full load.IMPORTANT If this is not the case,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
handbrake adjusted. If the lever travel
gets longer, contact a Fiat Dealership.
When the handbrake lever is engaged
and the ignition key is in MAR-ON
position, the instrument panel warning
light
will switch on.
Proceed as follows to release the
handbrake:
❒slightly lift the lever and press release
button A;
❒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 vehicle
from moving accidentally.

❒if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 3 bar after 10 minutes,
do not resume driving because the
tyre is too damaged and the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
suitable sealing. Contact a Fiat
Dealership;
❒if the tyre reaches the pressure
specified in “Inflation pressure”
paragraph in the "Technical Data"
section, start driving immediately;
❒after having driven for about
10 minutes, stop and recheck the
tyre pressure; remember to apply the
handbrake;❒if a pressure value of at least 3 bar is
detected, restore the correct
pressure prescribed in the paragraph
“Inflation pressure” in “Technical
specification” (with the engine
running and the handbrake
engaged), resume driving and drive
with care to nearest Fiat Dealership.
FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE
ONLY
The compressor can also be used
solely for restoring pressure.
❒Pull the handbrake.
❒Undo the cap for the tyre valve,
extract the pipe C fig. 200 with the
quick coupling and connect it directly
to the valve of the tyre to be inflated.
❒Insert the plug in the nearest 12
V power socket and start the engine.
❒Rotate the selector clockwise to the
pressure renewal position.
❒Activate the kit by pressing the on/off
switch. Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in the "Inflation pressure"
paragraph, in the "Technical Data"
chapter.NOTE If the tyre has to be deflated,
press the dedicated button B illustrated
in fig. 201. For a more accurate
reading, it is advisable to check the
pressure reading on the pressure gauge
with the compressor off and without
moving the centre selector from the
pressure renewal position.
