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”.

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL

VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

❒ 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.

If, when the ignition key is on MAR, warning light

remains lit together with warning light

, turn the

key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning

light remains on, try with the other keys provided with

the car.

If you are still unable to start the engine, perform the

emergency start-up procedure (see “Emergency start-

up” in section “In an emergency”) and contact Fiat

Dealership.

IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key at MAR

when the engine is off.

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.

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.
