Handbrake disengagement: slightly
raise lever A and hold button B
pressed, checking that the
warning
light switches off in the instrument
panel.
WARNING
119)Never leave children unattended in
the car. Always remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the car and take
it with you.
120)The car should be braked after a few
clicks of the lever, if it is not, contact a
Fiat Dealership to have it adjusted.
121)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the front wheels
must be steered towards the pavement
(when parking downhill), or in the opposite
direction if the vehicle is parked uphill.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if
the car is parked on a steep slope.
MANUAL GEARBOX
122)44)
To engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and put the gear lever into
the required position (the diagram
for gear engagement is shown on the
knob fig. 78).
For 0.9 TwinAir, 0.9 TwinAir Turbo and
1.2 8v 69 HP versions: to engage
reverse R from neutral, raise ring A fig.
78 underneath the knob and, at the
same time, shift the lever to the right
and then backwards.
For version 1.3 16v MultiJet: to engage
reverse R from neutral position, shift
the lever to the right and then back.IMPORTANT Reverse can only be
engaged when the vehicle is completely
stationary. With the engine running,
wait for at least 2 seconds with the
clutch pedal fully pressed before
engaging reverse to prevent damage to
the gears and grating.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should
be used only for gear changes. Do
not drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, however lightly. For
versions/markets where provided, the
electronic clutch pedal control could cut
in, interpreting the incorrect driving
style as a fault.
WARNING
122)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying
flat and do not get in the way of the
pedals.
WARNING
44)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even
if slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the internal gearbox components.

STARTING AND DRIVING

disconnect one end of the cable
used for positive (+) from the positive
terminal (+) of the vehicle with flat
battery;
If it is often necessary to perform a
jump starting, have the vehicle battery
and the recharging system checked
by a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Any accessories (e.g.
mobile phones, etc.) connected to the
vehicle power sockets draw current
even if they are not used. These
devices, if left connected too much time
with engine off, may cause the battery
to drain with following reduction of
its life and/or failure to start the engine.
WARNING
148)This procedure must be performed by
qualified personnel as incorrect actions
may cause high-intensity electrical
discharge. Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and
lighted cigarettes away from the battery
and do not cause sparks.
149)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
WARNING
57)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery. The
following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use any
other exposed metallic part.
58)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.
FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
150)
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the interruption of the fuel supply
with the engine consequently cutting
out;
the automatic unlocking of the
doors;
the automatic switching on of the
interior lights
the switching on of the hazard
warning lights.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the car for
fuel leaks, for instance in the engine
compartment, under the car or near the
tank area. After an impact, turn the
ignition key to STOP to prevent the
battery from running down.
To restore the correct operation of the
car, proceed as follows:
turn the ignition key to the MAR
position;
activate the right direction indicator;
deactivate the right direction
indicator;
activate the left direction indicator;
deactivate the left direction indicator;
activate the right direction indicator;

IN AN EMERGENCY

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions. For this
reason, Fiat has planned a series of
checks and services at fixed distance
intervals and, where provided, at fixed
time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Fiat Dealerships according to a set time
schedule. If, during each operation, in
addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with
the owner's explicit agreement only.
If your vehicle is used frequently for
towing, the interval between one
service operation and the next should
be reduced.IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long
journeys, check and if necessary, top
up: engine coolant level; brake fluid
level; screen washer fluid level; tyre
inflation pressure and condition; lighting
system operation (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
screen washer/wiper system operation
and positioning/wear of windscreen/
rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.DEMANDING USE OF THE
CAR
If the vehicle is used under one of the
following conditions: towing a trailer
or motorhome; dusty roads; short (less
than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys
with sub-zero outside temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speed or long periods
of inactivity, the following checks must
be carried out more often than
indicated in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of:
engine, gearbox, transmission, pipes
and hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes)
and rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter / pollen
filter / air cleaner.

every year.
133

ENGINE OIL
60) 61)3)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
five) after the engine has stopped,
with the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick B. If the oil level is near or even
under the MIN mark, add oil using the
filler A to reach the MAX mark.
NOTE For the 0.9 TwinAir and 0.9
TwinAir Turbo versions, engine oil
dipstick B is integral with the cap A.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
During the initial period of use the
engine oil consumption conditions
should be considered as having
stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000
km.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine run for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
switching it off before checking the
level.ENGINE COOLANT FLUID
160)62)
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, unscrew reservoir
cap C and add the fluid described in
the "Technical Specifications" section.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHING FLUID
161)
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap
D (see previous pages) and add the
fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
BRAKE FLUID
162) 163)63)
Check that the fluid is at the maximum
level (the fluid level in the reservoir
must not exceed the MAX mark). If the
fluid level in the reservoir is too low,
undo reservoir cap E and add the fluid
described in the "Technical
Specifications" chapter.

The fluid level should only be checked
at a Fiat Dealership.BATTERY
164) 165) 166) 167)
64)5)
Battery F does not require topping up
the electrolyte with distilled water. A
periodic check carried out at a Fiat
Dealership is, however, necessary to
check efficiency.
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other
or drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Before
summer, have the system checked at a
Fiat Dealership.
