START-UP
The display shows these messages alter-
nately and in sequence together with an
warning buzzer when the system does not
recognize the brake pedal to be opera-
tional during a starting attempt. In this
condition, keep the ignition key in the
AVVposition for at least 7 seconds with
the brake pressed: the engine will start.
The system will be in recovery mode
(maximum permitted gear: 3
a)IMPORTANT If start-up is requested with
the gearbox faulty, run the “Delayed start-
up” procedure (see associated messages):
if the ignition key is turned to the AVVpo-
sition for at least 7 seconds with the brake
pressed, the engine will be started. The sys-
tem will remain in a recovery situation
(highest permitted gear 3rd, Automatic
mode not available). If the engine does not
start, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The messages are only dis-
played if starting takes place with a gear
other than neutral (N) engaged.
If the message continues to be
shown in the display, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
In order to safeguard the effi-
ciency of the clutch, do not
use the accelerator to keep
the car still (for example:
stopped on a hill); the clutch could
overheat and be damaged; use the
brake pedal and only operate the ac-
celerator pedal when you decide to set
off.
