GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle
starts here.
The handbook that you are reading
simply and directly explains how it
is made and how it works.
That’s why we advise you to read it
seated comfortably on board, so that
you can see what is described here for
yourself.SYMBOLS ...................................... 10

IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to three different
positions fig. 10:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. radio,
central door locking system, alarm,
etc.) are enabled;
❒MAR-ON: driving position. All
electrical devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine start-up.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety
system that requires the ignition key
to be turned back to STOP if the engine
does not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.
2) 3) 4) 5)
STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the key is at STOP, remove the
key and turn the steering wheel until
it locks.
Deactivation
Move the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR-ON.
WARNING
2) If the ignition switch has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted
theft), have it checked over by
an Abarth Dealership before
driving again.
3) Always remove the key when you
leave your car to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the
controls. Remember to engage
the handbrake. If the car is parked
on a slope uphill, engage the first
gear; if the car is facing downhill,
engage reverse. Never leave
children unattended in the
vehicle.4) Never extract the key while the
vehicle is moving. The steering
wheel will automatically lock
as soon as it is turned. This holds
true for cars being towed as well.
5) It is absolutely forbidden to carry
out any after-market operation
involving steering system or
steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the
car with type-approval
requirements.
