28 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE<br />
F0D0052m<br />
WARNING<br />
If the ignition switch has<br />
been tampered with (e.g.<br />
someone has tried to steal your vehicle),<br />
get a Fiat Dealership to make<br />
sure it is still functioning properly<br />
before you start driving again.<br />
WARNING<br />
When you get out of the<br />
vehicle, always remove the<br />
ignition key. This will prevent anyone<br />
from accidentally working the<br />
controls. Remember to apply the<br />
handbrake and, if the vehicle is<br />
faced up on a steep slope engage<br />
the first gear. If it is facing down,<br />
engage the reverse gear. Never<br />
leave children in the vehicle by<br />
themselves.<br />
STEERING COLUMN LOCK<br />
To engage the lock: remove the ignition<br />
key at STOP or PARK, and<br />
turn the steering wheel until it locks.<br />
To release the lock: rock the steering<br />
wheel slightly as you turn the ignition<br />
key to MAR.<br />
WARNING<br />
Never remove the ignition<br />
key while the vehicle is<br />
moving. The steering wheel will automatically<br />
lock as soon as you try<br />
to turn it. This also applies when<br />
the vehicle is being towed.<br />
WARNING<br />
It is absolutely forbidden to<br />
carry out whatever aftermarket<br />
operation involving steering<br />
system or steering column modifications<br />
(e.g.: installation of antitheft<br />
Device) that could badly affect<br />
performance and safety, cause<br />
the lapse of warranty and also result<br />
in non-compliance of the car<br />
with homologation requirements.
