the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release the key as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with manual transmission (Diesel engines): make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral, fully depress
the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
warning light to switch off. Turn the
ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
Versions with automatic transmission(where provided): make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the shift lever is in the P
(Parking) or N (Neutral) position, then turn the ignition key to AVV; release the key as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.
They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS
…important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of the car over time. Special attention must be
paid to the symbols(personal safety)(environmental protection)(car integrity).

Warning light What it means
amberINJECTION / EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition device is brought to MAR, the warning light switches on, but it
should switch off as soon as the engine is started. The operation of the warning light may be checked by
the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where you are
driving.
22)
Injection system failure
If the warning light remains on, or it switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly.
The warning light on constantly signals a malfunction in the supply/ignition system which could cause high
exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high consumption. The warning
light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system. Under these conditions, the
vehicle can continue travelling at moderate speed but without demanding excessive effort from the engine
or high speed. Prolonged use of the car with the warning light on may cause damage. Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
Catalytic converter damaged
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter may be damaged. Release the accelerator
pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops flashing. Continue the journey at
moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
UREA INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE (Diesel versions)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on, together with a dedicated message on the display (for versions/markets,
where provided) if a fluid not conforming with the nominal characteristics is inserted o if an average
consumption of UREA over 50% is detected.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
If the problem is not solved, a specific message will appear on the instrument panel display whenever a
certain threshold is reached until it will no longer be possible to start the engine.
When 200 km will remain to prevent the engine restart, a continuous dedicated message will appear on the
dashboard (for versions/markets, where provided) accompanied by an acoustic warning sound.
IMPORTANT
22)If, turning the ignition device to MAR, thewarning light does not turn on or if it turns on steadily or flashing when travelling (on some
versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

STARTING THE
ENGINE
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown on
the display.
ENGINE STARTING
PROCEDURE
107) 108) 109) 110)
39) 40) 41) 42)
Versions with manual transmission
Proceed as follows:
engage the parking brake and place
the gear lever in neutral;
fully depress the clutch pedal
without touching the accelerator;
only for diesel versions, bring the
ignition device to MAR, warning light
will come on in the instrument
panel and wait for the warning light to
switch off;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within
10 seconds, bring the ignition device
back to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure;
after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Versions with automatic
transmission
(where provided)
Proceed as follows:
engage the parking brake and set
the gear lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral);
set the ignition device to AVV;
if the engine does not start, bring the
ignition device back to STOP and wait
for 10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure;
after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
107)Do not try to start the engine pouring
fuel or other flammable fluid inside the
throttle body air intake: this might damage
the engine and injury people nearby.
108)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.109)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
110)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
39)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km, you do
not drive to full car performance (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top
speed, sharp braking, etc.).
40)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
41)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.
42)Warning light
will flash after starting
or during prolonged cranking to indicate a
fault with the glow plug heating system. If
the engine starts, the vehicle can be used
as normal, but a Fiat Dealership must be
contacted as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT
79)It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by a Fiat Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations and
minor maintenance interventions personally
on the car, it is recommended to use
suitable equipment, genuine spare parts
and the necessary fluids. Do not carry out
any interventions if you don't have the
necessary experience.
80)Incorrect maintenance of the car or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or have a negative impact on
car performance. Have any malfunction
inspected immediately by a Fiat Dealership.
81)The vehicle is equipped with fluids
which are optimised or protecting its
performance and life and extending service
intervals. Do not use chemicals for washing
these components since they may damage
the engine, the transmission or the climate
control system. This damage is not covered
by the vehicle’s warranty. If any component
needs to be washed due to malfunctioning,
use only the specific liquid for that
procedure.
82)An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil inside the base is extremely damaging to
the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.83)Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are
flammable and may explode, with the risk
of injuries. The use of non-approved
coolants or lubricants may adversely affect
system efficiency, leading to expensive
repairs.
84)The air conditioner system contains
coolant under high pressure: to avoid
injuries to people or damage to the system,
any coolant addition or repair that requires
to disconnect the cables must be carried
out by a Fiat Dealership.
85)Vehicles equipped with catalytic
converter must be fuelled only with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to reduce
polluting emissions, seriously
compromising the engine performance,
which would be irreparably damaged. If the
engine does not work correctly, especially if
it starts irregularly or if there is a reduction
of its performance, immediately go to a Fiat
Dealership. Prolonged and faulty operation
of the engine may cause overheating of the
converter and, as a consequence, possible
damage to the converter and the car.
86)Using a gearbox fluid different from that
approved may compromise gearshifting
quality and/or cause vibration of the
gearbox itself.
LIFTING THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be jacked up, go
to a Fiat Dealership, which is equipped
with shop jacks and jack arms.
The vehicle lifting points are marked on
the side panels with the
symbols
(see illustration in fig. 221 ).
