the display.
ENGINE STARTING
PROCEDURE
107) 108) 109) 110)
38) 39) 40) 41)
Versions with manual transmission
Proceed as follows:
engage the parking brake and place
the gear lever in neutral;
fully depress the clutch pedal
without touching the accelerator;
only for diesel versions, bring the
ignition device to MAR, warning light
will come on in the instrument
panel and wait for the warning light to
switch off;
turn the ignition device to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts;
if the engine does not start within
10 seconds, bring the ignition deviceback to STOP and wait for
10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure;
after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Versions with automatic
transmission
(where provided)
Proceed as follows:
engage the parking brake and set
the gear lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral);
set the ignition device to AVV;
if the engine does not start, bring the
ignition device back to STOP and wait
for 10-15 seconds before repeating the
starting procedure;
after the manoeuvre has been
repeated, if the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
107)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.
108)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.
109)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.110)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
38)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.).
39)When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
40)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.
41)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.
109

SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped through
the Stop/Start system, if the driver
releases their seat belt or opens the
driver's or passenger's door, the engine
can be restarted only by using the
ignition device.
This condition is indicated to the driver
both through a buzzer and a message
on the display.
"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
If, following the automatic engine
restarting, the driver does not carry out
any action for more than 3 minutes, the
Stop/Start system stops the engine
definitely, to prevent fuel consumption.
In these cases, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition device.
NOTE In any case, it is possible to keep
the engine running by deactivating the
system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the
Stop/Start system is deactivated.
For failure indications, see the "Warning
lights and messages" paragraph,
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter.
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
122)
In the event of vehicle inactivity (or if the
battery is replaced), special attention
must be paid to the disconnection of
the battery power supply.
WARNING
122)If the battery needs to be replaced,
always contact a Fiat Dealership. Replace
the battery with a new one of the same
type and specifications.
IMPORTANT
48)If the climate comfort is to be favoured,
the Start&Stop system can be deactivated,
for a continuous operation of the climate
control system.
SPEED LIMITER
DESCRIPTION
This device allows the speed of the
vehicle to be limited to values which
can be set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both
with vehicle stationary and in motion.
The minimum speed that can be set is
30 km/h.
When the device is active, the vehicle
speed depends on the pressure at the
accelerator pedal, until the
programmed speed limit is reached
(see "Speed limit programming"
paragraph).
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
To activate the device press button 1
fig. 120 on the steering wheel.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in the
case of vehicles towing trailers. In any
case, the top speed must not exceed
100 km/h.
Any electric brake must be powered
directly by the battery through a cable
with a cross-section of no less than
2.5 mm

In addition to the electrical branches,
the vehicle electrical system can only be
connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light for the trailer, not
exceeding 15 W. For connections, use
the preset control unit with a battery
cable with section not less than
2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (e.g. electric
brake) must take place with engine
running.
INSTALLING A TOW
HOOK

Dealership.
WARNING
134)The ABS with which the car is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
135)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the car’s hydraulic system.
