When Parked; Parking Brake - Fiat TIPO 5DOOR 2023 Owner's Handbook Manual

abruptly, resulting in serious injury or
death.
IMPORTANT
32) We recommend that during the initial
period, or during the first 1600 km, you
do not drive to full car performance (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long journeys at
top speed, sharp braking, etc.).
33) When the engine is switched off
never leave the ignition device in the
MAR position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
34) A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely
no practical purpose; it wastes fuel and
is especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
35) Warning light will flash after starting
or during prolonged cranking to indicate a
fault with the glow plug preheating system.
If the engine starts, the vehicle can be
used as normal, but a Fiat Dealership must
be contacted as soon as possible.

WHEN PARKED

When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
engage the gear (1 st gear when
uphill or reverse gear when downhill,
or shift the gear lever to the P position
for Mild Hybrid versions and versions
equipped with a dual clutch automatic
transmission) and leave the wheels
steered;
engage the parking brake and shut
the engine down;
always remove the ignition device.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a
stone if the car is parked on a steep
slope.
On versions equipped with dual clutch
automatic transmission or electrified
dual clutch automatic transmission,
wait for the letter P to be displayed on
the instrument panel before releasing
the brake pedal.
WARNING NEVER leave the car with
the transmission in neutral (or, on
versions equipped with dual clutch
automatic transmission or electrified
dual clutch automatic transmission,
without putting the shift lever in the P
position).
