DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY DEVICES THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM Special coloured labels have been attached near or actually on some of the components of your car. These labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component. To further protect you car from theft, it has been fitted with an engine immobilising system. This system is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed. An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition key grip.
If the code has not been recognised correctly, the instrument panel warning light Y will turn on. In this case, the key should be moved to the STOP position and then back to MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try again with the other key provided with the car. If it is still not possible to start the car contact a Fiat Dealership. The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is submitted to sharp knocks.
Together with the keys you will receive the CODE card fig. 6 to be presented to Fiat Dealership when requesting additional keys. IMPORTANT In order to ensure perfect efficiency of the electronic devices contained inside the keys, they should never be exposed to direct sunlight.

Wait until the coolant temperature gauge starts moving.
❒ Engage a gear (first if the car is faced uphill or reverse if it is faced downhill) and leave the wheels steered. Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if the car is parked on a steep slope. Do not leave the ignition key at MAR to prevent draining the battery. Always remove the key when you leave the car. Four or five clicks are generally enough when the car is on level ground while nine or ten may be required if the car is on a steep slope or laden.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY DEVICES To engage 6th gear (version 1.416V and 1.9 Multijet16V) press the lever to the right to prevent engaging 4th gear by mistake. A similar action is required to shift down from 6th to 5th. INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES To engage the gears, press the clutch pedal fully and shift the gear lever into one of the required positions (the diagram is shown on the knob fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 4).

Moving off of the car is obtained releasing the brake pedal and gradually pressing the accelerator pedal. With the ASR system off (pressing the ASR off button) moving off will be more “brilliant”. IMPORTANT Reverse gear (R) can be engaged from any of the following other gears: neutral (N), first (1) or second (2) only when the car is stationary.
❒ during prolonged halts with the engine running it is advisable to keep the gearbox in neutral; ❒ when the car is parked facing uphill, do not use the moving off manoeuvre to keep the car still; use the brake pedal and press the accelerator pedal only when the deciding to move off; INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES SAFETY DEVICES ❒ With the car stopped and a gear engaged always keep the brake pedal pressed until deciding to move off; CORRECT U

To park the car safely it is absolutely necessary to engage first gear (1) or reverse (R) and also the handbrake if the car is on a slope.
Tyres Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher. Unnecessary loads Do not travel with too much luggage stowed in the boot. The weight of the car (especially when driving in town) and its trim greatly affects consumption and stability. Use electric devices only for the amount of time needed.
DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS SAFETY DEVICES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE 150 DRIVING STYLE Starting Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill or at idle or high speed: under these conditions the engine warms up much more slowly, increasing electrical consumption and emissions. It is therefore advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds. This way the engine will warm faster.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are harder to climb, the braking spaces increase and overtaking takes longer depending on the overall weight. Do not exceed the speed limits of the country you are driving in. In any case do not exceed 100 km/h.

The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption: ❒ combined consumption: is calculated weighing about 37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of extraurban consumption. IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured.
