The handbrake lever is located between
the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the
handbrake. Four or five notches are nor-
mally sufficient to lock the car on flat ter-
rain, while nine or ten may be necessary
on a steep slope with the car loaded.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-
tact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake
adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled up
and the ignition key is atMAR, the in-
strument panel warning light
xwill turn
on.
PARKING THE CAR
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the hand-
brake;
❒engage a gear (on a slope, engage first
gear if the car is faced uphill or reverse
if it is faced downhill) and leave the

If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is
further advisable to block the wheels with
a wedge or stone. Do not leave the key in
the ignition switch to prevent draining the
battery. Always remove the key when you
leave the car.
Never leave children unat-
tended in the car. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving
the car and take it out with you.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a bulb is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
replacing it: refer to the “If a fuse
blows” paragraph in this chapter for
fuse location.
❒before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by others
of the same type and power;
❒always check the height of the headlight
beam after changing a bulb, for reasons
of safety.
IMPORTANT A slight misting may appear
on the internal surface of the headlight:
this does not indicate a fault and is caused
by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly dis-
appear when the headlights are switched
on. The presence of drop inside the head-
lights indicates infiltration of water. Go to
a Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your car:AAll glass bulb: clipped into place. Pull
to extract.
BBayonet bulbs: to remove this type
of bulb from its holder, press the
bulb and turn it anticlockwise.
CCylindrical bulbs: release from the
contacts to extract.
D-EHalogen bulbs: release the fastening
clip from the corresponding seat to
remove the lamp. Halogen lamps must be han-
dled holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transparent
part of the bulb with your fin-
gers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even compromise du-
ration of the lamp itself. In the case of
accidental contact, rub the lamp with a
cloth and spirit and leave to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) that are not car-
ried out properly or do not take the
technical specifications of the system
into account can cause malfunctions
leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.

❒take the tow hook Bfrom the sup-
port;
❒tighten the ring on the rear or front
threaded pin.

rules of the Highway Code when tow-
ing the car specifically in relation to
the towing device and the behaviour
to maintain on the road.

CAR
MAINTENANCE
The fabric upholstery of your
car is designed to withstand
the normal wear and tear of
your car for a long time. Some
precautions are however needed. Avoid
prolonged rubbing against clothing ac-
cessories, such as metal buckles, Velcro
strips and the like, which by applying a
high pressure on the fabric in a small
area could cause the breakage of some
threads and damage the upholstery.
CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacu-
um cleaner. It is advisable to use a moist
brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral de-
tergent.
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the car: risk of explosion.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed to
temperatures higher than 50°C. The
temperature may raise well beyond
that figure when the car is left in the
sun.
WARNINGINTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with a
moist cloth and a solution of water and mild
soap. Use specific products for cleaning plas-
tic, without solvents and specifically de-
signed to prevent damage to the appearance
and colour of the treated parts to remove
grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petro-
leum to clean the instrument panel.
