CONTENTS

Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until
the engine has been started, so you need

to apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal and steering wheel.

Never start the engine by pushing, towing
or driving downhill. This could cause a
flow of fuel into the catalytic converter

and damage it beyond repair.

Proceed as follows:

❒

engage the handbrake;

❒

put the gear lever into neutral;

❒

fully depress the clutch pedal without moving the
accelerator;

❒

turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon
as the engine starts.

If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating the starting
procedure.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, the instrument panel
warning light

remains on together with warning light

, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the

warning light remains on, try the other keys provided
with the vehicle.
IMPORTANT If the instrument panel warning light

stays on permanently, contact an Abarth Dealership
immediately.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key to MAR
when the engine is off.
