GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
If the ignition device is
tampered with (e.g.: at-
tempted theft), have it
checked over by a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
When you get out of the
vehicle, always remove
the ignition key. This will
prevent anyone from accidental-
ly working the controls. Remem-
ber to apply the handbrake and,
if the vehicle is faced down on a
steep slope engage the first gear.
If it is facing up, engage the re-
verse gear. Never leave unsuper-
vised children in the vehicle.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

To engage the lock: remove the
ignition key at STOP or PARK and
turn the steering wheel until it locks.
To release the lock: rock the
steering wheel slightly as you turn the
ignition key to MAR.
Never remove the igni-
tion key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering
wheel would automatically lock
as soon as you try to turn it. This
also applies when the vehicle is
being towed.
It is absolutely forbidden
to carry out whatever af-
ter-market operation in-
volving steering system or steer-
ing column modifications (e.g.: in-
stallation of anti-theft device)
that could badly affect perfor-
mance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the vehicle
with homologation
ments.
