If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. an attempted theft), have it
checked over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.
WARNING
When getting out of the car, always remove
the key to prevent someone from acciden-
tally activating the controls. Remember to engage
the handbrake. Engage first gear if the car is parked
uphill or reverse if the car is parked downhill. Nev-
er leave children unattended in the car.
WARNING
IGNITION
The key can be turned to 3 different positions fig. 9:
❒ STOP: engine off, key can be extracted, steering locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. sound system, central door
locking system, etc.) can function.
❒ MAR: driving position. All electrical devices can func-
tion.
❒ AVV: engine starting (temporary position).
The ignition device is fitted with an electronic safety sys-
tem that, in the event the engine fails to start, forces you
to turn the ignition key back to STOP before repeating the
starting operation.
