IGNITION SWITCH
fig. 11
The key can turn through 4 different
positions:
S - engine off, key can be removed
and the steering column is locked;
M - drive position;
D - starting the engine.
When you get out of the
vehicle, always remove
the ignition key. This will
prevent anyone from accidental-
ly working controls. Remember
to apply the handbrake and, if the
vehicle is pointing uphill, first
gear. Put the vehicle into reverse
if it is pointing downhill. Never
leave children in the vehicle by
themselves.
STEERING COLUMN LOCK
To engage the lock: when the ig-
nition switch is in position S, remove
the ignition key and turn the steering
wheel until it locks.
To release the lock: move the
steering wheel slightly as you turn the
ignition key to M.
Never remove the igni-
tion key while the vehicle
is moving. The steering
wheel would automatically lock
as soon as you tried to turn it.
This always applies, even when
the vehicle is being towed.

If the ignition switch has
been tampered with (e.g.
someone has tried to
steal your vehicle), get a Fiat
Dealership to check it over be-
fore you start driving again.
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 car with
homologation requirements.
