20) When the engine is switched off never
leave the ignition device in the MAR
position to prevent useless current
absorption from draining the battery.
21) A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
22) Warning light
will flash after starting
or during prolonged cranking to indicate a
fault with the glow plug heating system. If
the engine starts, the vehicle can be used
as normal, but a Fiat Dealership must be
contacted as soon as possible.
PARKING BRAKE
103) 104)
The handbrake lever is located between
the two front seats.
Handbrake engagement:
Pull lever 1 upwards until the car is
secured.
To use the handbrake pull the lever
fig. 78 upwards until the car cannot be
moved. 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 and laden.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake is on and the
ignition key is at MAR position, the
warning light
will appear on the
instrument panel.
Handbrake disengagement:
Raise lever 1 slightly, hold down button
2 and lower the lever, checking that the
warning light
on the instrument
panel switches off.
WARNING
103) Never leave children unattended in
the car. Always remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the car and take it
with you.
104) For cars equipped with a front
armrest, lift it up to ensure that it does not
interfere with the action of the handbrake.
