MANUAL GEARBOX
124)42)
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and put the gear lever into
the required position (the diagram
for gear engagement is shown on the
knob fig. 79).
For 0.9 TwinAir, 0.9 TwinAir Turbo and
1.2 8v 69 HP versions: to engage
reverse R from neutral, raise ring A fig.
79 underneath the knob and, at the
same time, shift the lever to the right
and then backwards.
For version 1.3 16v MultiJet: to engage
reverse R from neutral position, shift
the lever to the right and then back.IMPORTANT Reverse can only be
engaged when the vehicle is completely
stationary. With the engine running,
wait for at least 2 seconds with the
clutch pedal fully pressed before
engaging reverse to prevent damage to
the gears and grating.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should
be used only for gear changes. Do
not drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, however lightly. For
versions/markets where provided, the
electronic clutch pedal control could cut
in, interpreting the incorrect driving
style as a fault.
WARNING
124)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying
flat and do not get in the way of the
pedals.
WARNING
42)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even
if slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the internal gearbox components.

harmful gases and noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Engine stopping mode: with the
vehicle stopped, the engine stops with
gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal
released.

RADIO
186) 187)
The radio has been designed according
to the specifications of the passenger
compartment, with a personalised
design matching the style of the
dashboard perfectly.
TIPS
Road safety
Please, learn how to use all different
radio functions (e.g. save stations)
before beginning to drive.
Care and maintenance
Clean the cover with a soft antistatic
cloth only. Cleaning and polishing
products may damage the surface.
ANTI-THEFT
PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the
exchange of information between the
radio and the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) on the car.
This system guarantees maximum
safety and prevents the secret code
from being entered each time the radio
power supply is disconnected.If the check has a positive outcome, the
radio will start to function, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the
same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the
device will ask the user to enter the
secret code according to the procedure
described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the radio is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will show
"Radio code" for about 2 seconds
followed by four dashes "----".
The code is made up of four numbers
from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one
of the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press
the corresponding button of the
pre-selected stations (from 1 to 6).
Enter the other code digits in the same
way.
If the four digits are not entered within
20 seconds, the display will show
"Enter code----".Ifthis occurs, it is
not considered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within
20 seconds), the car radio will start to
work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display
shows the text "Radio blocked/wait" to
notify the user of the need to enter
the correct code.Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time will gradually
increase (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16
min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 16 h,
24 h) up to a maximum of 24 hours.
The waiting time will be shown on the
display with the text "Radio blocked/
wait". After the text has disappeared it
is possible to start the code entering
procedure again.
Car radio passport
This document certifies the ownership
of the car radio. The car radio passport
shows the radio model, serial number
and secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the radio passport in
a safe place so that you can give the
information to the relevant authorities if
the radio is stolen.
In the case of loss of the vehicle radio
passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,
taking an ID document and the vehicle
ownership documents.
