GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

WARNING
99)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine burns oxygen
and releases carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
100)Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, therefore you
need to apply much more force than usual
to the brake pedal and steering wheel.
101)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the gearbox is
automatically placed in neutral will be
signalled by an acoustic signal.
WARNING
51)Warning lightflashing for 60
seconds after starting or during prolonged
cranking of the engine indicates a fault
with the glow plug heating system. You
can use the vehicle as usual if the engine
starts but you should contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
52)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
maximum rpm, excessively intense braking,
etc.) when it is first used.
53)When the engine is off, do not leave
the key turned to MAR to prevent
unnecessary electrical consumption from
draining the battery.54)Never jump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill.
These actions could cause the fuel to flow
into the catalytic converter and damage
it beyond repair.
55)Revving up before stopping the engine
is useless, it causes unnecessary fuel
consumption and can damage the engine,
in particular engines equipped with
turbocharger.
HANDBRAKE
102) 103)
The handbrake lever is located between
the two front seats.
Handbrake engagement: pull lever A
fig. 89 upwards until the vehicle is
braked. Four or five clicks are generally
enough when the car is on level
ground, while ten or eleven may be
required if the car is on a steep slope
and laden. If this is not the case,
contact a Fiat Dealership for
adjustment.
Handbrake disengagement: slightly
raise lever A and hold button B pressed
checking that the
warning light
switches off in the instrument panel.
