OWNER HANDBOOK

Dear Customer,

Thank you for selecting Fiat and congratulations on your choice of a Fiat Idea.

We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your Fiat Idea and use it in the best possible way.

You should read it right through before taking to the road for the first time.

You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your car to help you derive the maximum from the
technological features of your Fiat Idea.

Read the warnings and indications, marked with the following symbols:

personal safety;

car safety;

environmental protection.

The enclosed Warranty Booklet lists the services that Fiat offers to its Customers:

❒

the Warranty Certificate with terms and conditions for maintaining its validity

❒

the range of additional services available to Fiat Customers.

Enjoy the read. Happy motoring!

This Owner Handbook describes all the versions of the Fiat Idea.

As a consequence, you should only consider the information which is related to the engine and bodywork version

of your car.

READ THIS CAREFULLY!

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: refuel with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of 95 or higher only.

Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.

K

STARTING THE ENGINE

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently cause lapse of war­ranty in relation to the damage caused.

Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

Multijet engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning lights Yand mto
go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine
needles or other flammable material: fire risk.



RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emis­sions to ensure better respect for the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery),
visit a Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric sys­tem can support the required load.

CODE card

Keep the card in a safe place, non in the car. Have the electronic code printed on the CODE card with
you at all times. You will need it to start the engine in an emergency.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its
safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

쇵

THE OWNER’S HANDBOOK CONTAINS...

SYMBOLS

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo­nents of your car. These labels bear sym­bols that remind you of the precautions
to be taken as regards that particular com­ponent.

The plate summarising the symbols used
can be found under the bonnet fig. 10.

fig. 10

F0H0012m

This is an electrical engine locking system
which increases protection from at­tempted theft of the car. It is automatically
activated when the ignition key is ex­tracted.

Each key contains an electronic device
which modulates the signal emitted dur­ing ignition by an antenna incorporated in
the ignition device. This signal is the ‘pass­word’ which changes at each ignition and
which the control unit uses to recognise
the key and enable ignition.

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started turning the
ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE sys­tem control unit sends a recognition code
to the engine control unit to deactivate
the inhibitor.

The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has recognised the
code transmitted from the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat CODE system deactivates
the functions of the engine electronic con­trol unit.

If the code has not been recognised cor­rectly, the warning light

turns on on

Y

the display.

In this case, turn the key to STOP and
then back to MAR; try with the other
keys provided if the problem persists.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if you still can­not start the engine.

IMPORTANT Each key has its own code
which must be stored by the system ECU.
Contact the Fiat Dealership to have new
keys (up to eight) stored with the code.

Warning light

coming on when driving

❒

If the warning light Yturns on, this
means that the system is running a self­test (for example for a voltage drop).
If the fault persists, contact a Fiat Deal­ership.

The electronic components
inside the key may be dam­aged if the key is submitted to
sharp knocks.

IGNITION DEVICE

The key can be turned to 3 different po­sitions fig. 21:

❒

STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electric devices
(e.g. sound system, central door lock­ing system, etc.) may work.

❒

MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices work regularly.

❒

AVV: engine starting (unstable posi­tion).

The ignition switch is fitted with a safety
system that, in the event the engine is not
started, turns back the ignition key to
STOP before repeating the starting op­eration.

fig. 21

F0H0021m

WARNING

If the ignition device is tam-

pered with (e.g.: attempted
theft), have it checked over by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.

WARNING

Always remove the key when

you leave your car to pre­vent someone from accidentally op­erating the controls. Remember to
engage the handbrake. Engage first
gear if the car is parked uphill or re­verse if the car is parked downhill.
Never leave children unattended in
the car.

WARNING

Never extract the key while

the car is moving. The steer­ing wheel would lock automatically
as soon as the steering wheel is
turned. This also applies to when the
car is towed.

STEERING LOCK

Engagement

When the key is in position STOP, re­move the key and turn the steering wheel
until it is locked.

Switching off

INSTRUMENTS

SPEEDOMETER Fig. 22

Indicates the car’s speed.

REV. COUNTER Fig. 23

This indicates the engine revolution per
minute.

IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is ‘over-revving’
resulting in a gradual loss of engine pow­er.

When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden increase
of the speed.

This is normal and does not indicate a
fault. It may be caused, for example, by the
operation of the climate control system
or fan. In these case, a slow change in en­gine speed is used to protect the battery
charge.
