IGNITION SWITCH
The key can be turned to 4 different positions:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked.
Certain electrical devices (e.g.: sound system, central door locking,
electronic alarm, etc.) can work.
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical devices are powered.
❒AVV: engine starting.
❒PARK: engine off, parking lights on, key can be extracted, steering
locked. To turn the key to PARK, press button (A).
F0E0010m
WARNINGWhen getting out of the car, always remove the key to prevent any occupants
from accidentally activating the controls. Remember to engage the handbrake and
if the car is parked on uphill slope to engage the first gear. If the car is facing
downhill, engage the reverse gear. Never leave unsupervised children in the car.
If the ignition device is tampered with (e.g.: attempted theft), have it checked over
by a Fiat Dealership.WARNING

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before trying to start the
engine again.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warning light
¢
remains lit, turn the key to STOP and then back to
MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the
other keys provided with the car.
If you still cannot start the engine, contact Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the outside temperature is very
low, the use of a fluid oil facilitates cold starting.
During winter it is therefore recommended to
observe the specifications contained in section
“Technical specifications” at paragraph “Fluids and
lubricants”.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key at MAR
when the engine is off.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE
AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED
(petrol and diesel versions)
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
revs. Do not accelerate abruptly.
❒do not drive at full performance for the initial
kilometres.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the Fiat CODE system fails to recognise the code
transmitted by the ignition key (warning light
¢on
instrument panel lit with fixed light) you can start the
engine by following the emergency procedure using
the code written on the CODE card.
See section “In an emergency”.
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or coasting downhill as this could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond repair.
Remember that the servobrake and power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the brake
pedal and steering wheel.WARNING

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servobrake and
electrical power steering system are not operating
until the engine is started, a greater effort will
therefore be required to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.IF A TYRE IS PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
For versions/markets where applicable, the car can be
fitted with a quick tyre repair kit called FIX & GO,
replacing the usual tool fitting, the spare wheel lifting
winch and the space-saver spare wheel.
Normal spare small wheel, or (where provided)
normal size spare wheel, can be supplied on request;
for its use, follow what indicated below.
VAN versions are fitted as standard with a spare
wheel with steel rim of the same type and size as the
standard wheels mounted on the car.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and space-
saver spare wheel call for some precautions as listed
below.
WARNINGAlert other drivers that the car is stationary in compliance with local regulations:
hazard warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any passengers on board should leave the
car, especially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay away from oncoming traffic
while the wheel is being changed. If parked on a slope or rough surface, chock the
wheels with wedges or other suitable devices to prevent the car from rolling.

WARNINGDo not start the engine when towing the vehicle.
Before starting to tow, turn the ignition key to MAR and then to STOP. Do not
remove the key. If the key is removed, the steering lock engages automatically
resulting in the impossibility to steer the wheels. WARNING
WARNINGWhen towing, remember that without the help of the servobrake and power
steering, a greater effort is required on the pedal and steering wheel. Do not use
flexible cables for towing and avoid jerks. During towing operations make sure that
fastening the joint to the car does not damage the components in contact with it.
When towing the car, you must comply with the specific traffic regulations
regarding the tow ring and how to tow on the road.

WARNINGNever smoke while working in the engine compartment; gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of fire.
When topping up take care not to confuse the various types of fluids: they are all incompatible
with one another and could seriously damage the car.

POWER STEERING FLUID
Check that the fluid level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir with the car parked on level ground and engine cold.
When the oil is hot the level may exceed the MAX mark.
If necessary add oil making sure that it has the same specifications as the
oil already in the system.
F0E0684m
The oil consumption is very low; if, after topping up it becomes necessary to top up again quite
soon after, have the system checked by Fiat Dealership for any leaks.
WARNINGDo not allow the power steering fluid to come into contact with the hot parts of
the engine: it is inflammable.
