STARTING AND DRIVING
STARTING THE ENGINE
The vehicle is fitted with an electronic engine lock
device: if the engine fails to start, see the paragraph
“The Fiat CODE system” in section “Know your
vehicle”.
It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessive intense braking, etc.) during
the initial period of use.
When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to
prevent useless current absorption from
draining the battery.
WARNING
It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas.The engine takes
in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until
the engine has been started, therefore much
effort than usual is required on the brake pedal
and steering wheel.
PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
❒
ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒
put the gear lever into neutral;
❒
turn the ignition key to MAR-ON: the warning
lights
and
on the instrument panel will
turn on;
❒
wait for the warning lights
and
to switch
off. The hotter the engine is, the quicker this will
happen;
❒
press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator;
❒
turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning
light
switches off. Waiting too long will waste
the work done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
