CORRECT USE OF THE CAR
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warning light
¢
remains lit together with warning light
U, 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.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
IMPORTANT When starting up, the accelerator pedal
must be completely released.
❒ Ensure that the handbrake is up.
❒ Put the gear lever into neutral.
❒ Turn the ignition key to MAR. The warning lights
m and ¢ will light up on the instrument panel.
❒ Wait for the warning lights mand ¢ to go out.
The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will
happen.
❒ Press the clutch pedal down to the floor.
❒ Turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning
light m goes out. If you wait too long you will lose
the benefit of the work done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
The warning light m will flash for 60 seconds at start-up or during prolonged cranking to signal a
fault in the glow plug heating system. You can use the car as usual if the engine starts but you
should contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
