ENGINE STARTING
FAILURE
99)
Important notes
Do not try to start the engine by towing
or pushing the vehicle. This manoeuvre
could let unburnt fuel enter the catalytic
converter. When the engine is started,
this would ignite, causing catalytic
converter overheating and damage.
If the battery is flat, you can jump start
the vehicle by connecting the batterywith an auxiliary one or with one on
another vehicle using suitable cables.
This manoeuvre can anyway be
dangerous when not performed
correctly. See the indications in the
"Emergency starting" paragraph in the
"In an emergency" chapter.
WARNING
99)Do not try to start the engine pouring
fuel or other flammable fluid inside the
throttle body air intake: this might damage
the engine and injury people nearby.
100)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
101)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
102)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
19)We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km, you do
not drive to full car performance (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top
speed, sharp braking, etc.).
84
STARTING AND DRIVING

20)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
21)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
22)Warning light
will flash after starting
or during prolonged cranking to indicate a
fault with the glow plug heating system. If
the engine starts, the vehicle can be used
as normal, but a Fiat Dealership must be
contacted as soon as possible.
PARKING BRAKE
103) 104)
The handbrake lever is located between
the two front seats.
Handbrake engagement:
Pull lever 1 upwards until the car is
secured.
To use the handbrake pull the lever
fig. 78 upwards until the car cannot be
moved. Four or five clicks are generally
enough when the car is on level ground
while nine or ten may be required if the
car is on a steep slope and laden.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake is on and the
ignition key is at MAR position, the
warning light
will appear on the
instrument panel.Handbrake disengagement:
Raise lever 1 slightly, hold down button
2 and lower the lever, checking that the
warning light
on the instrument
panel switches off.
WARNING
103)Never leave children unattended in
the car. Always remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the car and take it
with you.
104)For cars equipped with a front
armrest, lift it up to ensure that it does not
interfere with the action of the handbrake.

(EN590 specification).
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available Diesel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
REFUELLING
PROCEDURE
"Capless Fuel" is a device at the
opening for the fuel tank which opens
and recloses automatically when the
fuel supply gun is introduced/removed.
The "Capless Fuel" device is provided
with an inhibitor which prevents
refuelling with incorrect fuel.
Opening the flap
To refuel proceed as follows:
unlock flap 1 fig. 86 by pressing onthe specified point and then open it;
introduce the dispenser in the filler
and refuel;
after refuelling, before removing the
dispenser, wait for at least 10 seconds
in order for the fuel to flow inside the
tank;
then remove the dispenser from the
filler and close flap 1.
The flap is provided with a dust cover
gaiter 2 which prevents deposits of
impurities and dust at the end of the
filler when the flap is closed.Emergency refuelling
If there is no fuel in the vehicle or the
supply circuit is completely empty,
proceed as follows to reintroduce fuel
to the tank:
open the boot and take adaptor 3
fig. 87, located in the tool box or in the
Fix&Go kit container (according to the
versions);
open flap 1 fig. 86, as described

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
117)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
118)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
119)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
IMPORTANT
31)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with EN
590 European specifications. The use of
other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and consequently
invalidate the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally introduce other
types of fuel into the tank, do not start the
engine. Empty the tank. If the engine has
been run for even an extremely limited
amount of time, you must not only drain the
fuel tank, but the rest of the supply circuit
as well.
