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

GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE
The warning light m
will flash (for approxi-
mately 60 seconds) at
start-up or during prolonged
cranking to signal a fault in the
glow plug heating system. You
can use the vehicle as usual if the
engine starts but you should con-
tact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have problem seen to.
Intake air heater (Heat Flange)
An air heating device is fitted on the
intake manifold inlet in 2.8 JTD ver-
sions to facilitate starting the engine in
cold weather.
This device will be switched on au-
tomatically when the key is turned to
MAR.
The heater is fitted in all 2.8 JTD ver-
sions with EGR system. It is optional
for other JTD versions.
The engine start-up procedure is the
same with and without the heater.
GENERAL NOTES
SELENIA 20K (petrol en-
gines) is recommended
when the vehicle is mainly
used in relatively mild climates. If
however, the vehicle is mainly
used where the climate is partic-
ularly severe, the use of SELENIA
PERFORMER MULTIPOWER
(petrol engines) or SELENIA WR
(diesel engines) is recommended.
If the engine does not start first time,
return the key to STOP before try-
ing to start the engine again.
If warning light Y remains lit when
the ignition key is at MAR, turn the
key to STOP and then to MAR; if the
warning light stays on, try with the
other keys provided.
