❒ Put the gear lever into neutral;
❒ Turn the ignition key to MAR. The warning lights
and
will light up on the instrument panel;

If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to STOP before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is on MAR, warning light
remains lit, turn the key to STOP and
then back to MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the other keys provided
with the car.
If you still cannot start the engine, contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key at MAR when the engine is off.
The warning light will
flash for 60 seconds at start-up or during prolonged cranking to signal a fault
in the glow plug heating system. You can use the car as usual if the engine starts
but you should contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
