If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to steal your ve-
hicle), get a Fiat Dealership to make
sure it is still functioning properly
before you start driving again.
WARNING
When you get out of the
vehicle, always remove the
ignition key. This will prevent any-
one from accidentally working the

faced up on a steep slope engage
the first gear. If it is facing down,
engage the reverse gear. Never
leave children in the vehicle by

moving. The steering wheel will au-
tomatically lock as soon as you try
to turn it. This also applies when
the vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifi-
cations (e.g.: installation of anti-
theft Device) that could badly af-
fect performance and safety, cause
the lapse of warranty and also re-
sult in non-compliance of the car
with homologation requirements.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL GAUGE
(where provided)
The gauge graphically displays the en-
gine oil level between the MINand
MAXreference points.
To perform measurement ensure
the vehicle is on a flat ground, then
proceed as follows:
1)when the engine is not running,
turn the ignition key to MAR;
2)the word “OIL” will be displayed
for 5 seconds together with six dashes
and five or six boxes showing the cor-
rect engine oil level;
Fig. 38- Correct oil level.
Fig. 39- Minimum oil level.
Should oil level be at minimum, re-
store oil level to the correct level as
soon as possible. Anyhow, before top-
ping up, first use the special dipstick
to check the level.
3)If the words “OIL HIGH”fig. 40
are displayed, this means that oil level
is excessive (over maximum level) and
it is therefore necessary to reduce its
level in the sump. DIGITAL CLOCK fig. 37
Clock can always be adjusted (also
with engine off and key removed).
Setting time
The clock will advance by one unit
each time the button G-fig. 37is
pressed. Press the button and hold it
down for a few seconds to rapidly ad-
vance the time automatically.
When the clock draws near to the
correct time, release the button and
complete the regulation manually.
