The light sensor is not
able do detect fog, there-
fore in this case it is nec-
essary to turn the lights on man-
ually.
IMPORTANTWhen the device is
on and the windscreen wiper is work-
ing, lights are automatically turned on.
When the lights come on automati-
cally it is also possible to turn on front
and rear foglights; when the lights are
turned off automatically, the latter
ones will be turned off as well.
IMPORTANTWhen the sensor is
on it is possible to have only the lights
flashing, therefore full-beam headlights
will have to be turned on manually, if
needed.

FUEL CUT-OFF
SWITCH
This is a safety switch controlled by
the Airbag control unit. Such switch
cuts in on collision and cuts off the fu-
el supply. This results in the engine
stalling.
The multifunction display informs the
driver that the fuel has been cut off
with a dedicated message.If you do not notice fuel leaks
and the vehicle is in a fit state to
continue on its way, proceed as
follows:
– turn the key to S;
– extract the ignition key; rein-
troduce it and start the engine as
usual.
HANDBRAKE
fig. 107
The handbrake lever is situated next
to the driver’s seat.
Pull the handbrake lever Aupwards
as far as it will go to apply the hand-
brake.
When the ignition key is at Mthe
panel indicator light
xwill come on.
If, after a collision, you
can smell fuel or notice
leaks from the fuel-feed
system, to avoid the risk of fire,
do not re-enable the switch.It should not be possible
to move the vehicle after
the lever has gone
through three or four “clicks”. If
this is not the case, have it ad-
justed at a Fiat Dealership.
To release the handbrake:
– slightly lift the handbrake lever A
and press release button B;
– keep the button pressed in and
lower the lever. The instrument pan-
el indicator light
xwill go out.

It is dangerous to let the
engine run in a garage or
other closed area. The
engine consumes oxygen and
gives off carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other poisonous
fumes.
– Make sure the handbrake is up and
the gear lever in Por N: the engine
can be started only with the gear in
these two positions.
– Turn the ignition key to Dwithout
pressing the accelerator pedal.
If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
to Sbefore trying to start the engine
again.

STARTING THE ENGINEIf the instrument panel warning light
stays on when the ignition key is at M,
turn the key to Sand then back to M;
if the warning light still remains lit, try
with the other keys provided with the
vehicle.
If you are still unable to start the en-
gine (see “In an emergency” chapter)
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
IMPORTANTDo not leave the ig-
nition key at Mwhen the engine is off
to prevent draining the battery charge.MOVING THE CAR
Proceed as follows:
– press fully the brake pedal;
– select the required gear lever po-
sition;
– accelerate progressively; the vehi-
cle is started and the gear shift de-
pends on the position selected.
When the ignition key is
at M, it is possible to shift
the gear lever from P on-
ly when the brake pedal is fully
depressed (Shift-lock safety de-
vice).
