MESSAGES
35) If the message is still shown in the display, contact a Fiat Dealership.
36) In order to keep the clutch in good condition, do not use the accelerator to hold the car stationary (e.g. when stopped on a slope); the
clutch could be damaged if it overheats; use the brake pedal instead and only use the accelerator pedal when you decide to set off.
