S fig. 88: "Stop" position. To lock the
steering wheel, remove the key and
turn the wheel until the lock kicks in. To
unlock it, work both the key and the
steering wheel, without using force.
A: Accessories position. When the
starter device is disengaged,
accessories (radio, etc.) continue to
function.
M: Gear change position. With the
starter device inserted.
D: Drive position. If the engine does
not start, you need to withdraw the key
before activating the ignition again. As
soon as the engine starts, release the
key.
WARNING
49)If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted theft),
have it checked by a Fiat Dealership before
driving again.
50)Always take the key with you when you
leave your vehicle to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the parking brake.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.
51)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance, invalidate the warranty, cause
serious safety problems and also result in
the car not meeting type-approval
requirements.
52)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This also applies to cases in which
the vehicle is towed.
53)Before exiting the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the parking brake, steer the
wheels, engage the first gear if uphill and
the reverse if downhill. If the vehicle is
parked on a steep slope, chock the wheels
with wedges or stones. When leaving the
vehicle, always lock all the doors by
pressing the button on the key.
CLIMATE CONTROL
Advice for use
In some cases (air conditioning off, air
recirculation on, fan speed at zero or
too low, etc.), the vehicle windows and
windscreen may mist up. In case of
misting, use the MAX DEF function to
eliminate it, then, to prevent it from
re-forming, use the air conditioning in
automatic mode.
Vehicles with ECOMODE
Once activated, ECOMODE can reduce
the air conditioning performance. See
the “Driving suggestions” paragraph in
the “Starting and driving” chapter.
54) 55)
2)
Consumption
Greater fuel consumption is normal
(especially in urban traffic) when the air
conditioning is in use.
For cars with air conditioning without
automatic mode, turn off the system
when you no longer need it.
Some advice for reducing fuel
consumption to a minimum and helping
safeguard the environment:
while driving, keep the diffuser open
and the windows closed;
if the vehicle has been parked in hot
weather or in the sun, aerate the
passenger compartment to let out the
hot air before starting off.

NOTE If the window encounters any
resistance during closing (for example a
tree branch, etc.) it stops and lowers a
few centimetres again.
Irregular operation
If the window closing fails to function,
the system moves to no pressure
mode: pull the concerned switch up as
much as needed until the window
closes completely (the window goes
back up gradually); then keep the
switch pulled up (always on the closing
side) for a second, then lower it and
raise it back up completely to reinstate
the system.
If necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Rear sliding windows:
61)
Use the handle 4 fig. 111 and run the
window to the desired stop.
WARNING
59)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that nobody is
exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or hit by it. When
leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.
60)When you close the windows, check
that no part of a body (arm, hand, etc.) is
sticking out from the vehicle. Danger of
serious injury.
61)Before manoeuvring it, make sure no
occupant is sticking out of a window or an
open door.

this condition. Risk of injury.
65)When working in the engine
compartment, make sure that the
windscreen wiper is in the stopped
position. Risk of injury.
66)In case of a collision, even a light one
like against the cowling or bonnet, have it
checked at a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.67)Use both hands to lift the bonnet.
Before lifting, check that the windscreen
wiper arms are not raised from the
windscreen, that the vehicle is stationary
and that the parking brake is engaged.
68)For safety reasons, the bonnet must
always be properly closed while the car is
travelling. Therefore, make sure that the
bonnet is properly closed and that the lock
is engaged. If you discover that the bonnet
is not perfectly closed during travel, stop
immediately and close the bonnet in the

SAFETY

100)The seat belt must not be twisted.
101)After an accident, check the seat
belts and if necessary replace them. In
addition, replace the seat belts if they start
to show any sign of wear or deterioration.
102)When refitting the single rear seat,
make sure the safety belts and their tabs
are positioned correctly so they can be
used normally.
103)Check that the seat belt locking
device is correctly inserted into the buckle.
104)Do not insert any object that could
block the belt and compromise its correct
operation.
105)Make sure you have positioned the
locking housing (it should not be covered,
crushed or flattened by people or objects).PRE-TENSIONERS
106)
When the pretensioners intervene, they
make the seat belt adhere to the seat
occupant's body, increasing the
effectiveness of the seat belt.
With starter switch on, in the event of a
violent frontal collision, depending on its
magnitude, the system may trigger the
seat belt winder pretensioner 1
fig. 181causing it to retract the belt
immediately.
LOAD LIMITERS
Depending on the collision’s degree of
violence, this mechanism activates to
limit the seat belt action against the
body to a supportable level.
WARNING
106)Check the safety devices after every
accident. Any intervention on the complete
system (pre-tensioners, air bags, electronic
modules, wiring) or re-use on another
vehicle, even if identical, is strictly
prohibited. In order to prevent accidental
deployments that could cause damage,
only qualified Fiat Dealership personnel can
intervene in pre-tensioners and air bags.
Checking the electrical features of the
actuator can only be effected by
specifically prepared personnel using the
proper tools. When the vehicle is
scrapped, see a Fiat Dealership to remove
the pre-tensioner gas generator and air
bags.
