ENGINE OIL LEVEL GAUGE
This gauge shows the engine oil level.
Versions with digital display
Turning the ignition key to MAR, the dis-
play will show the engine oil amount by
displaying five symbols.
F0N1017g
Few seconds after, engine oil amount sym-
bols will disappear from the display, and:
❒if scheduled servicing interval is near
to come, the display will show the dis-
tance to cover and the instrument
panel warning light õwill turn on.
When reaching the scheduled servic-
ing interval the display will show some
dashes.
❒then, if engine oil change interval is
near to come, the display will show on
the top of the screen the distance to
cover to next oil change together with
message “OIL” displayed on the bot-
tom of the screen. When reaching the
scheduled servicing interval the display
will show five dashes.
Versions with multifunction display
Turning the ignition key to MARthe dis-
play will show the oil level by the turning
on/off of five symbols.
F0N1018g
Partial gradual turning off of the symbols
indicates oil decrease.
When the oil level falls below the preset
limit the display will show the dedicated
message to warn the driver that topping
up is required.
IMPORTANT Proper engine oil level shall
however be checked by means of the dip-
stick (see paragraph “Checking levels” in
section “Vehicle maintenance”).

If the oil level falls below the preset limit
(topping up is therefore required), the five

(Belt Buzzer)
This function can be only displayed after
Fiat Dealership has deactivated the S.B.R.
system (see paragraph “S.B.R. system” in
section “Safety devices”).
Scheduled Servicing (Service)
Through this function it is possible to dis-
play information connected to proper ve-
hicle servicing.
Proceed as follows:
– briefly press button MODE: service in
km or mi, according to previous setting,
will be displayed (see paragraph “Units”);
– briefly press button MODEto go back
to the menu screen or press the button
for long to go back to the standard screen.NoteThe “Service schedule” plans dif-
ferent service intervals according to en-
gine models; service interval is displayed
automatically, with the ignition key at
MAR, starting from 2,000 km (or 1,240
mi) from this deadline and it is shown again
every 200 km (or 124 mi). Oil change
warning messages are displayed in the
same way. Use buttons ▲and ▼to dis-
play alternately service schedule info and
engine oil change info. Below 200 km ser-
vicing indications are displayed more fre-
quently. Service indications will be dis-
played in km or mi according to previous
unit setting. When a programmed main-
tenance interval (coupon) is near to come,
turning the ignition key to MAR, the dis-
play will show the message “Service” fol-
lowed by the number of km/mi to go be-

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
vehicle down and lower the amount of
toxic emissions released into the atmos-
phere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Vehicle maintenance
Carry out the checks and adjustments/reg-
ulations specified in the “Service Sched-
ule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the ve-
hicle (especially when driving in town) and
its trim greatly affects consumption and
stability.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the vehicle permits it, use the air vents
where possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.
Observe the enforced rules if
you need to carry a spare
can of petrol. Only use a homologat-
ed can and secure it to the load an-
choring eyebolts. Even given these
precautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.
WARNING
In addition to these general precautions,
some simple measures could enhance dri-
ving safety, comfort and the length of the
vehicle’s life:
❒distribute the load evenly over the
load floor: if you need to concentrate
it all in one point choose the part be-
tween the axles;
❒remember that the lower the load is,
the lower the vehicle’s centre of grav-
ity will be, contributing to a safe drive;
you should therefore always position
the heavier goods at the bottom;
❒finally, remember that the way in
which the vehicle moves is influenced
by the weight being carried. In partic-
ular, stopping distance lengthens par-
ticularly at high speed.
