and then back to MAR-ON; if the warning light
remains lit, try with the other keys provided with the
car.
Contact the Fiat Dealership if the engine still will not
start.
Warning light will flash for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged
cranking to indicate a fault with the glow
plug heating system.You can use the car as usual
if the engine starts but you should contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas.The engine takes
in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until
the engine has been started, therefore much
effort than usual is required on the brake pedal
and steering wheel.
We recommend that during the initial
period you do not demand to full
performance from the car (e.g. excessive
acceleration, long journeys at top speed, sharp
braking etc.).
When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to
prevent useless current absorption from
draining the battery.
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill.This could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
WARMING UP THE ENGINE JUST AFTER IT
HAS STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒ drive off slowly, letting the engine turn at medium
revs. Do not accelerate abruptly;
❒ do not demand full performance at first. Wait until
the engine coolant temperature gauge starts
moving.
