198)Do not turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position or the operation
mode in ACC or OFF while the hill start
assist is operating. The hill start assist
could stop operating, which could result in
an accident.
IMPORTANT
69)Do not over-rely on the hill start assist
to prevent backwards movement of the
vehicle. Under certain circumstances, even
when hill start assist is activated, the
vehicle may move backwards if the brake
pedal is not sufficiently depressed, if the
vehicle is heavily loaded, if the road is very
steep or slippery or if the vehicle tows a
trailer, etc.
70)The hill start assist is not designed to
keep the vehicle stopped in place on uphill
slopes for more than 2 seconds.
71)If the warning is turn on, the hill start
assist will not operate. Start off carefully.
72)Park your vehicle in a safe place and
stop the engine. Restart the engine and
check whether the warning indicator went
out, in which case the hill start assist is
again working normally. If they warning
remains displayed or reappear frequently, it
is not necessary to stop the vehicle
immediately, but the vehicle should be
inspected by a Fiat Dealership.
73)Do not stop the engine while the
vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine
would make the steering wheel extremely
hard to turn, possibly resulting in an
accident.74)Do not leave the steering wheel turned
all the way in one direction. This can cause
damage to the power steering system.

STARTING AND DRIVING

ECONOMICAL
DRIVING
For economical driving, there are some
technical requirements that have to be
met. The prerequisite for low fuel
consumption is a properly adjusted
engine. In order to achieve longer life of
the vehicle and the most economical
operation, we recommend you to have
the vehicle checked at regular intervals
in accordance with the service
standards.
Fuel economy and generation of
exhaust gas and noise are highly
influenced by personal driving habits as
well as the particular operating
conditions. The following points should
be observed in order to minimize wear
of brakes, tyres and engine as well as
to reduce environmental pollution.
Starting the engine
Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden
starts, as they will increase fuel
consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and
engine speed. Always use the highest
shift position possible.
The transfer shift lever or the drive
modeselector should be set to “2H”
when driving 4WD vehicles on normal
roads and express ways to obtain best
possible fuel economy.City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping
increases the average fuel
consumption. Use roads with smooth
traffic flow whenever possible. When
driving on congested roads, avoid use
of a low shift position at high engine
speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever
possible.
Speed
At higher the vehicle speed, more fuel is
consumed. Avoid driving at full speed.
Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of
fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at
regular intervals. Low tyre inflation
pressure increases road resistance and
fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre
pressures adversely affect tyre wear
and driving stability.Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles
in the luggage compartment. Especially
during city driving where frequent
starting and stopping is necessary, the
increased weight of the vehicle will
greatly affect fuel consumption. Also
avoid driving with unnecessary luggage
or carriers, etc., on the roof; the
increased air resistance will increase
fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes
more fuel. Unnecessary fuel
consumption is also caused by keeping
a hot engine running. After the engine is
started, commence driving as soon as
possible.
Cooler or air conditioning
The use of the air conditioner will
increase the fuel consumption.
133

RUNNING-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
During the running-in period for the first 1,000 km, it is advisable to drive your new vehicle using the following precautions as a
guideline to aid long life as well as future economy and performance.
Do not race the engine at high speeds.
Avoid rapid starting, accelerating, braking and prolonged high-speed running.
Keep to the running-in speed limit shown below. Please note that the legal speed limits displayed must be adhered to.
Do not exceed loading limits.
Refrain from towing a trailer.

PARKING
To park the vehicle, fully engage the
parking brake, and then move the
gearshift lever to 1st or “R” (Reverse)
position for vehicles equipped with M/T,
or set the selector lever to “P” (PARK)
position for vehicles equipped with A/T.
Parking on a hill
To prevent the vehicle from rolling,
follow these procedures:
Parking on a downhill slope
Turn the front wheels towards the kerb
and move the vehicle forward until the
kerb side wheel gently touches the
kerb.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, apply
the parking brake and place the
gearshift lever into the “R” (Reverse)
position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, apply
the parking brake and place the
selector lever into the “P” (PARK)
position. If necessary, apply chocks to
wheels.
Parking on a uphill slope
Turn the front wheels away from the
kerb and move the vehicle back until
the kerb side wheel gently touches the
kerb.
On vehicles equipped with M/T, apply
the parking brake and place the
gearshift lever into the 1st position.
On vehicles equipped with A/T, apply
the parking brake and place theselector lever into the “P” (PARK)
position. If necessary, apply chocks to
wheels.
If your vehicle is equipped with A/T, be
sure to apply the parking brake before
moving selector lever to the “P” (PARK)
position. If you move selector lever to
the “P” (PARK) position before applying
the parking brake, it may be difficult to
disengage selector lever from the “P”
(PARK) position when next you drive the
vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force the selector lever to move from
the “P” (PARK) position.
Parking with the engine running
Never leave the engine running while
you take a short sleep/rest. Also, never
leave the engine running in a closed or
poorly ventilated place.
When leaving the vehicle
Always carry the key and lock all doors
when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well
lit area.
201) 202)
WARNING
201)Leaving the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the
gearshift lever (with M/T) or the selector
lever (with A/T) or the accumulation of toxic
exhaust fumes on the passenger
compartment.202)Do not park your vehicle in areas
where combustible materials such as dry
grass or leaves can come in contact with a
hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.

taking place. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.
If the keyless operation key is not
operating properly
Insert the keyless operation key into the
key slot. Starting the engine and
changing the operation mode should be
now possible.
Remove the keyless operation key from
the key slot after starting the engine or
changing the operation mode.Do not insert into the key slot anything
other than the keyless operation key.
This could cause damage or a
malfunction.
Remove the object or additional key
from the keyless operation key before
inserting the key into the key slot. The
vehicle may not be able to receive the
registered ID code from the registered
key. Therefore, the engine may not start
and the operation mode may not
change.
The keyless operation key is fixed, if the
key is inserted in the key slot as
illustrated. When pulling out the key, pull
out in the state.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Keyless operation key reminder
If the operation mode is in OFF and the
driver’s door is opened with the keyless
operation key in the key slot, the
warning lamp will blink and the outer
buzzer sounds for approximately
3 seconds and the inner buzzer sounds
for approximately 1 minute to remind
you to remove the key.
WARNING
203)Never run the engine in a closed or
poorly ventilated area any longer than is
needed to move your vehicle in or out of
the area. Carbon monoxide gases are
odourless and can be fatal.204)Do not operate the engine switch
while driving except in an emergency. If the
engine is stopped while driving, the brake
servomechanism will cease to function and
braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also, the
power steering system will not function and
it will require greater manual effort to
operate the steering. This could result in a
serious accident.
IMPORTANT
79)Release the ignition key as soon as the
engine starts to avoid damaging the starter
motor.
80)Never attempt to start the engine by
pushing or pulling the vehicle.
81)Do not run the engine at high rpm or
drive the vehicle at high speed until the
engine has had a chance to warm up.
82)If your vehicle is equipped with a
turbocharger, do not stop the engine
immediately after high-speed or uphill
driving. First allow the engine to idle to give
the turbocharger a chance to cool down.
83)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessively intense braking,
etc.) during the initial period of use.
84)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
TURBOCHARGER
OPERATION
(where provided)
Turbocharger
85) 86)
The turbocharger increases engine
power by pushing large amounts of air
into the engine’s cylinders. The finned
parts inside the turbocharger turn at
extremely high speeds and are
subjected to extremely high
temperatures. They are lubricated and
cooled by engine oil. If the engine oil is
not replaced at the specified intervals,
the bearings may seize or emit
abnormal noise.
