ENGINE STARTING
FAILURE
105)
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 battery
with 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
105)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.
106)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.
107)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.
108)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
104
STARTING AND DRIVING

IMPORTANT
36)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.).
37)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
38)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.
39)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 THE
VEHICLE
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
engage a gear (1stgear if facing
uphill or reverse if facing downhill) and
leave the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
always remove the ignition key.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a
stone if the car is parked on a steep
slope.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission, wait for the letter P to be
displayed before releasing the brake
pedal.
IMPORTANTNEVERleave the car with
the gearbox in neutral (or, on versions
equipped with automatic transmission,
before placing the gear lever at P).
