REV. COUNTER fig. 18
The indicator B shows the engine revolution number.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system grad-
ually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is “over-
revving” resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate
a gradual or sudden increase of the speed.
This behaviour is standard as it takes place during the ac-
tivation of the climate control system or the fan. It should
not be considered as a fault. In these cases, a slow change
in engine speed preserves the battery charge.
INSTRUMENTSThe instrument background colour and type may vary
according to the versions.
SPEEDOMETER (SPEED INDICATOR) fig. 17
The indicator A shows the car speed (speedometer).

INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying
the vehicle and available as after-sales must carry the
following label:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation of transceivers
provided that installation is carried out at a specialised
shop, workmanlike performed and in compliance with
manufacturer’s specifications.
IMPORTANT Installation of devices resulting in modifi-
cations of vehicle characteristics may cause driving license
seizing by traffic control authorities and also the lapse of
the warranty for defects due to the above-mentioned mod-
ification or either directly or indirectly related to it.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for damage caused
by the installation of accessories either not supplied or rec-
ommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not installed in com-
pliance with the provided instructions. ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install electrical ac-
cessories that require a steady electric supply (alarm, satel-
lite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case
burden the electric supply, contact Fiat Dealership, whose
qualified personnel, besides suggesting the most suitable
devices belonging to Lineaccessori Fiat, will also evaluate
the overall electric consumption, checking whether
the car’s electric system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be integrated with a more
powerful battery.

CORRECT USE OF THE CAR
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:❒
engage the handbrake;
❒
place the gearshifting lever in neutral;
❒
press the clutch pedal all the way down without touch-
ing the accelerator;
❒
turn the ignition key to
AVV
and let it go as soon as
the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to
STOP
before repeating starting.
STARTING THE ENGINEThe car is fitted with an electronic engine lock device:
if the engine fails to start, see the paragraph “The Fiat
CODE system” in section “Know your vehicle”.
The engine may be noisier during the first few seconds of
operation, especially after a long period of inactivity. This
characteristic feature of the hydraulic tappet system does
not compromise functionality or reliability: the system de-
vised for your car was designed to limit maintenance
interventions.
It is dangerous to let the engine run in en-
closed spaces. The engine consumes oxy-
gen and engine exhaust contains carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gasses.
WARNING
CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
We recommend that during the initial pe-
riod you do not drive to full car perfor-
mance (e.g.: excessive acceleration, long
journeys at top speed, sharp braking, etc.).When the engine is switched off never leave
the key into the ignition switch to prevent
useless current absorption from draining the
battery.
Remember that the servo-brake and pow-
er steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, therefore much effort
than usual is required on the brake pedal
and teering wheel.

PARKING THE VEHICLEProceed as follows:❒
stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒
engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the vehi-
cle is parked uphill or reverse if it is parked downhill)
and leave the wheels steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is
parked on a steep slope.
Do not leave the key in the ignition switch at MAR to pre-
vent draining the battery. Always remove the key when
leaving the car. Never leave children unattended in the car.
Always remove the ignition key when leaving the car
and take it out with you.
HANDBRAKE fig. 116
The handbrake lever is located between the two front
seats. Pull the handbrake lever upwards until the car can-
not be moved. STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you should allow the
engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off by let-
ting it idle to allow the temperature in the engine com-
partment to fall.
Never bump start the engine by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill. This could
cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic con-
verter and damage it beyond repair.A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose, it wastes fuel and is dam-
aging especially to turbocharged engines.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
Y
stays on with fixed
light, the emergency start-up can be performed by using
the CODE card code (see chapter “In an emergency”).
