STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is on;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒fully depress the clutch pedal without touching the ac-
celerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV and let it go the moment
the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, the instrument panel
warning light
Yremains on together with warning light
U, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the
warning light remains on, try the other keys provided with
the vehicle. If you still cannot start the engine, perform
an emergency start (see “Emergency starting” in the “In
an emergency” section) and go to a Fiat Dealership.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The vehicle is fitted with an immobiliser: if the engine fails
to start, see the paragraph on “The Fiat CODE system” in
the “Dashboard and controls” section.
The engine may be noisier during the first few seconds of
operation, particularly after a long period of inactivity. This
is due to the hydraulic tappets, the timing system chosen
for petrol engine versions to reduce the number of ser-
vicing interventions, and affects neither functionality nor
reliability.
STARTING AND DRIVING
It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g. exces-
sive acceleration, long distances at high
speeds, excessive intense braking, etc.) during the
initial period of use.
To avoid draining the battery, do not leave
the ignition key in the MAR position when
the engine is off.
It is dangerous to run the engine in closed
environments. The engine takes in oxygen
and discharges carbon dioxide, carbon monox-
ide and other toxic gases.

PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (first gear if parked uphill or reverse if fac-
ing downhill) and leave the wheels turned.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is advisable to
block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
To prevent draining the battery, do not leave the ignition
key turned to MAR. Always remove the key when you
leave the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, and take
it with you.
USING THE GEARBOX
To engage the gears, depress the clutch pedal fully and shift
the gear lever A-fig. 127 into the required position (the di-
agram is shown on the gear knob fig. 127).
IMPORTANT Reverse may be engaged only when the ve-
hicle is at a standstill. With the engine running, wait for
at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully depressed be-
fore engaging reverse to prevent damage to the gears and
grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift ring B under the
knob and at the same time move the gearstick to the right
and then backwards (as shown in the diagram).

INDEXOVERHEATED ENGINE COOLANT (red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
warning light turns on but should go off after a few
seconds.
The warning light turns on when the engine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as follows:
❒ when driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the
engine and check that the water level in the reservoir
is not below the MIN mark. If it is not, wait for a few
minutes for the engine to cool down then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and check
that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks. Al-
so visually check for leaks. Go to a Fiat Dealership if
the warning light comes on again when the engine is
next started.
❒ if the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g.
towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow down and,
if the light stays on, stop the vehicle. Stop for two or
three minutes with the engine running and slightly ac-
celerated to assist better coolant circulation. Then
switch the engine off. Check the correct fluid level as
described previously.
ç
IMPORTANT On demanding routes, it is advisable to keep
the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few minutes
before switching it off.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
BATTERY CHARGE LOW (red)The warning light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should go out as
soon as the engine has started (with the engine run-
ning at idle speed a brief delay before going out is accept-
able).
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership im-
mediately.
