DRIVING YOUR CAR
136
It is dangerous to let the
engine run in a garage or
other closed area. The
engine consumes oxygen and
gives off dioxide, carbon monox-
ide and other poisonous fumes.
IMPORTANT The ignition switch
is fitted with a safety device which
obliges the driver to return the key to
S before repeating the starting oper-
ation if the engine does not start im-
mediately.

STARTING
THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT The vehicle is fitted
with an electronic engine locking de-
vice. If the engine cannot be started,
see the “Fiat CODE system” in “Get-
ting to know your car” chapter.
We recommend that
during the initial period
you do not drive to full ve-
hicle performance (e.g.: excessive
acceleration, long journeys at top
speed, hard braking, etc.).
When the engine is
switched off never leave
the ignition key at M to
prevent pointless current ab-
sorption from draining the bat-
tery.
