WARNING: Do not put child seats
facing backwards on the front seat if the
passenger’s airbag is enabled (ON).
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby.
Should it be absolutely necessary to place a
child seat on the front seat, always deactivate
the passenger airbag. Move the passenger’s seat
as far back as possible to avoid contact
between the child seat and the dashboard.
Although this is not mandatory by law, the
airbag should be immediately reactivated when
children are no longer carried to ensure better
protection for adults.

STARTING THE ENGINE
The car is fitted with an electronic engine lock device: if
the engine fails to start, see the paragraph “The Fiat
CODE system” in section “Dashboard and controls”.
The engine may be noisier during the first few seconds
of operation, especially after a long period of inactivity.
This is a feature of hydraulic tappets, the timing system
chosen to reduce the number of servicing interventions,
and effects neither functionality nor reliability.

STARTING AND DRIVING
It is dangerous to let the engine run in
enclosed spaces. The engine consumes
oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
In the first period of use, we recommend
that you do not demand maximum
performance from the car (e.g. excessive
acceleration, extended travel at maximum revs,
heavy braking etc.).
With the engine off, do not leave the key
in the ignition to prevent draining the
battery.
Remember that the brake booster 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.

FIX & GO Automatic QUICK TYRE
REPAIR KIT
The Fix&Go Automatic quick tyre repair kit is located in
the luggage compartment.
The kit fig. 127 includes:
❒a canister A, containing sealant, which is fitted with:
– filler tube B;
– an adhesive label C with the message “max. 80
km/h” to apply in a position clearly visible by the
driver (on the dashboard) after repairing the tyre;
❒informative leaflet (see fig. 128), used to ensure the
correct use of the quick tyre repair kit and then
given to the personnel who will handle the treated
tyre; BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
driving downhill. This could cause a flow of fuel into the
catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and the
power steering system are not activated until the engine
is started; a greater effort will therefore be required to
press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.
