HOW TO START DIESEL<br />
VERSIONS<br />
1) Ensure that the handbrake is up.<br />
2) Put the gear lever into neutral.<br />
3) Press the clutch pedal down to<br />
the floor without touching the accelerator.<br />
4) Turn the ignition key to MAR. Instrument<br />
panel warning lights m and<br />
Y will come on.<br />
5) Wait for the instrument panel<br />
warning light Y to go out.<br />
6) Wait for the instrument panel<br />
warning light m to go out. The hotter<br />
the engine is, the quicker this will<br />
happen.<br />
7) Turn the key to AVV immediately<br />
after the m warning light goes out.<br />
If you wait too long, you will lose the<br />
benefit of the work done by the glow<br />
plugs.<br />
Release the key as soon as the engine<br />
starts.<br />
106 GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE<br />
The warning light m<br />
will flash (for approximately<br />
60 seconds) at<br />
start-up or during prolonged<br />
cranking to signal a fault in the<br />
glow plug heating system. You<br />
can use the vehicle as usual if the<br />
engine starts but you should contact<br />
a Fiat Dealership as soon as<br />
possible to have problem seen to.<br />
Intake air heater (Heat Flange)<br />
An air heating device is fitted on the<br />
intake manifold inlet in 2.8 JTD versions<br />
to facilitate starting the engine in<br />
cold weather.<br />
This device will be switched on automatically<br />
when the key is turned to<br />
MAR.<br />
The heater is fitted in all 2.8 JTD versions<br />
with EGR system. It is optional<br />
for other JTD versions.<br />
The engine start-up procedure is the<br />
same with and without the heater.<br />
GENERAL NOTES<br />
SELENIA 20K (petrol engines)<br />
is recommended<br />
when the vehicle is mainly<br />
used in relatively mild climates. If<br />
however, the vehicle is mainly<br />
used where the climate is particularly<br />
severe, the use of SELENIA<br />
PERFORMER MULTIPOWER<br />
(petrol engines) or SELENIA WR<br />
(diesel engines) is recommended.<br />
If the engine does not start first time,<br />
return the key to STOP before trying<br />
to start the engine again.<br />
If warning light Y remains lit when<br />
the ignition key is at MAR, turn the<br />
key to STOP and then to MAR; if the<br />
warning light stays on, try with the<br />
other keys provided.
