IGNITION DEVICE
OPERATION
The key can be turned to three different
positions fig. 3:

removed, steering column locked (with
key removed). Some electrical devices
(e.g. central door locking system, etc.)
are still available;
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are available;
AVV: engine starting.
The ignition device is fitted with a safety
system that requires the ignition key to
be turned back to STOP if the engine
does not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.
On versions with automatic
transmission (if present) the ignition keycan only be removed when the gear
lever is at P (Park).

3)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.4)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications

could adversely affect performance,
invalidate the warranty, cause serious
safety problems and also result in the car
not meeting type-approval requirements.
5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well.

the wheels with wedges or stones. When
leaving the vehicle, always lock all the
doors by pressing the button on the key.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

FIAT CODE
The Fiat Code system prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that
the vehicle's doors are locked or
unlocked.
When the ignition device is set to MAR,
the Fiat Code system identifies the
code transmitted by the key. If the code
is recognised as valid, the Fiat Code
system enables engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought
back to STOP, the Fiat Code system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph,
"Starting and driving" chapter.IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, theicon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bring
the ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while
driving, this means that the system is
running a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a
voltage drop). If the display persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

Repositioning the backrests
13)
Raise the backrests and push them
back until the locking click of both
retainers is heard. Visually check that
the red marks have disappeared from
the release devices 1 fig. 11. The
presence of the red notches indicatesthat the backrest is not secured. In the
left buckle (without the red unlock
button on the slot) insert the first tongue
which is located at the end of the
diagonal section of the seat belt of the
central seat.
IMPORTANT When returning the rear
seat from the tilted position to the
normal operating position, take care to
refit the seat belt correctly, in order to
guarantee prompt availability every
time.
WARNING
11)All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary.
12)Once you have released the
adjustment lever, always check that the
seat is locked on the guides by trying to
move it back and forth. If the seat is not
locked into place, it may unexpectedly slide
and cause the driver to lose control of the
car.
13)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking, with
possible impact with of the passengers.14)People who can't feel skin pain due to
advanced age, chronic diseases, diabetes,
spine damage, medication, alcohol,
exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must be careful when using the seat
heater. It could cause burns even at a low
temperature, especially when used for long
periods of time.
15)Do not place objects on the seat or on
the backrest that may isolate the heat,
such as a cover or a pillow. It may cause
the seat heating device to overheat. Sitting
on an overheated seat may cause severe
burns due to the increase in temperature of
the seat surface.
IMPORTANT
4)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.
