lating materials such as blankets or
cushions.

Improperly using the seat
heater can be hazardous. An
occupant can suffer burns even if the
heating temperature is fairly low, if the
occupant is wearing thin pants, a thin
skirt or shorts and leaves the heater on
for long periods.
Avoid using the seat heater for these
occupants:
– People who have reduced feeling in
their legs, including the elderly or
those with certain disabilities.
– Small children, or anyone with sen-
sitive skin.
– People who are asleep or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs
which make them tired.

Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per
1000 km (1 Qt. per 600 miles)
When judging the amount of oil con-
sumption, note that the oil may become
diluted and make it difficult to accurately
judge the true oil level.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for re-
peated short trips, and consumes a nor-
mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of dri-
ving. This is because the oil is gradually be-
coming diluted with fuel or moisture, mak-
ing it appear that the oil level has not
changed.
You should also be aware that the dilut-
ing ingredients evaporate out when the ve-
hicle is subsequently driven at high speeds,
such as on an expressway, making it ap-
pear that oil is excessively consumed af-
ter high- speed driving.STARTING THE ENGINE
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
❒Make sure the parking brake is set fully.
❒Shift into “N” (Neutral) and depress the
clutch pedal all the way to the floor.
Hold it while starting the engine.
ENGINE OIL
CONSUMPTION
It is normal for the engine to consume
some engine oil during normal vehicle op-
eration.
The amount of engine oil consumed de-
pends on the viscosity of the oil, the qual-
ity of the oil and the conditions the vehi-
cle is driven under.
More oil is consumed during high- speed
driving and when there is frequent accel-
eration and deceleration. Under high
loads, your engine also will consume more
oil.
A new engine also consumes more oil,
since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned.
New engines reach the normal level of oil
consumption only after approximately
5000 km (3000 miles) driving.
Make sure that the parking
brake is set fully and the
transaxle is in Neutral before at-
tempting to start the engine.
WARNING
IMPORTANT We recommend that dur-
ing the initial period you do not drive to
full vehicle performance (e.g.: excessive ac-
celeration, long journeys at top speed,
sharp braking, etc.).
IMPORTANT When the engine is
switched off never leave the key into the
ignition switch to prevent pointless cur-
rent absorption from draining the battery.

STARTING A COLD ENGINE
(for petrol versions)
With your foot off the accelerator pedal,
crank the engine by turning the ignition
key to “START”. Release the key when
the engine starts.
IMPORTANT
❒Stop turning the starter immediately af-
ter the engine has started or the starter
system can be damaged.
❒Do not crank the engine for more than
15 seconds at a time. If the engine does-
n’t start on the first try, wait about 15
seconds before trying again.
If the engine does not start after 15 sec-
onds of cranking, wait about 15 seconds,
then press down the accelerator pedal to
1/3 of its travel and try cranking the en-
gine again. Release the key and accelera-
tor pedal when the engine starts.
If the engine still does not start, try hold-
ing the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor while cranking. This should clear the
engine if it is flooded.
75J017
STARTING A COLD ENGINE
(for Diesel Engine Model)
Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po-
sition and wait until the glow plug indica-
tor goes out if it comes on. Crank the en-
gine by turning the ignition key to
“START”. Release the key when the en-
gine starts.
IMPORTANT
❒The starter is allowed to crank the
engine up to 30 seconds. If the engine
failed to start, wait 15 seconds, then
restart cranking. Even if the third
trial failed, consult authorized Fiat
Dealership.
❒
If the engine is started after long time
parking at extremely cold atmosphere
such as the ambient temperature is be-
low –20°C, release ignition key from
start position and stop cranking after
confirming the engine speed increase
around 800 to 1000 rpm.STARTING WARM ENGINE
Crank the engine by turning the ignition
key to “START”. Release the key when
the engine starts.
CAUTION WHEN STOPPING
THE ENGINE WITH
TURBOCHARGER
When stopping the engine after climbing or
high speed driving, let the engine idle for
about one minute or more (if it is not pro-
hibited) to cool down the turbocharger and
engine oil. This is to prevent the engine oil
from over-deteriorating. Deteriorated en-
gine oil will damage the bearings of the tur-
bocharger.
RESTARTING D19AA DIESEL
ENGINE AFTER FUEL-EMPTY
STOP
The engine stops if the engine feels fuel
emptiness. To restart the engine, stop the
vehicle, hold the ignition key in “ON” po-
sition for 5 – 10 seconds to feed fuel, then
perform above engine starting procedure.
