STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL

VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

❒

ensure that the handbrake is on;

❒

put the gear lever into neutral;

❒

fully depress the clutch pedal without touching the ac-

celerator;

❒

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 the procedure.

STARTING THE ENGINE

The car is fitted with an electronic engine lock device: if

the engine fails to start, see the paragraph on “The Fiat

CODE system” in the “Dashboard and controls” section.

The engine may be noisier during the first few seconds of

operation, particularly after a long period of inactivity. This

is a feature of hydraulic tappets, the timing system cho-

sen to reduce the number of servicing interventions, and

effects neither functionality nor reliability.

STARTING AND DRIVING

It is dangerous to let the engine run in en-

closed spaces. The engine consumes oxy-

gen and produces carbon dioxide, carbon monox-

ide and other toxic gases.

WARNING

In the first period of use, we recommend

that you do not demand maximum perfor-

mance from the car (e.g. excessive accel-

eration, extended travel at maximum revs, heavy

braking etc.).

With the engine off, do not leave the

key in the ignition to prevent draining the

battery.

Remember that the brake booster and

power steering are not operational until

the engine has been started, therefore you need

to apply much more force than usual to the brake

pedal and steering wheel.
