ENGINE
STARTING
It is dangerous to let the
engine run in a garage or
other closed area. The
engine consumes oxygen and
gives off carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other poisonous
fumes.
Do not touch the high
voltage cables (spark plug
leads) when the engine is
running.
STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
1) Ensure that the handbrake is up.
2) Put the gear lever into neutral.

3) Press the clutch pedal fully down,
without pressing the accelerator.
4) 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 trying to start the
engine again.
If the warning lights ¢ (Y) and U
stay on when the ignition key is at
MAR, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR again; if the warning light
stays on, try with the other keys pro-
vided.
If you are still unable to start the en-
gine, perform the emergency start-up
procedure (see section "In an emer-
gency") and go to a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ig-
nition key at MAR when the engine is
off.

HOW TO START DIESEL
VERSIONS
1) Ensure that the handbrake is up.
2) Put the gear lever into neutral.
3) Turn the ignition key to MAR. In-
strument panel warning lights U, m
and ¢ (Y) will come on.
4) Wait for warning lights U and ¢
(Y) to turn off.
5) Wait for the instrument panel
warning light m to go out. The hot-
ter the engine is, the quicker this will
happen.
6) Press the clutch pedal down to
the floor without touching the accel-
erator.
7) Turn the key to AVV immedi-
ately after the m warning light goes
out. If you wait to long, you will lose
the benefit of the work done by the
glow plugs.
