ENGINE STARTING
The car is fitted with an electronic engine lock device.
If the engine fails to start, see paragraph “Fiat CODE
system” in section “Dashboard and controls”.
During the initial seconds after the engine has been
started, above all after the vehicle has not been driven
for a while, the engine may be slightly noisier than
usual.
This characteristic feature of the hydraulic tappet
system does not compromise functionality or
reliability. The system devised for Fiat Multipla was
designed to limit servicing.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL
VERSIONS
IMPORTANT Do not press the accelerator before the
engine is started.
Ensure that the handbrake is up.
Put the gear lever into neutral.
Press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator.
Turn the ignition key to AVV and let it go the
moment the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating starting.
WARNING
Running the engine in confined areas is extremely dangerous. The engine consumes
oxygen and produces carbon monoxide which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.
We recommend that during the initial period you do not drive to full vehicle performance (e.g.:
excessive acceleration, long journeys at top speed, sharp braking, etc.).
When the engine is switched off never leave the ignition key in the MAR position to prevent
pointless current absorption from draining the battery.
