STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒ put the gear lever into neutral;
❒ turn the ignition key to MAR; instru-
ment panel warning lights m and
Y
will light up;
❒ wait for the warning light Y
e m to
turn off. The hotter the engine is, the
quicker this will happen;
❒ press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accelerator;
❒ turn the ignition key to AVV as soon
as warning light m goes out. Waiting
too long will waste the work done by
the glow plugs. Release the key as soon
as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to STOP
before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR , the
instrument panel warning light
Y
re-
mains lit together with warning light m
turn the key to STOP and then back to
MAR; if the warning lights remain on, try
with the other keys provided with the car.
IMPORTANT If the instrument panel
warning light
Y
stays on glowing
steadily, contact immediately Fiat Deal-
ership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key
to MAR when the engine is off.
Warning light m will blink
for 60 seconds after starting
or during prolonged cranking
to indicate a fault to the glow
plug heating system. Use the car nor-
mally if the engine starts and go to a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
