REV. COUNTER fig. 18a
The rev counter shows engine rpm. The
needle pointed to the red area (danger)
indicates excessive high engine speed. Do
not drive for long periods with the needle
in this area.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection con-
trol system gradually shuts off the flow of
fuel when the engine is “over-revving” re-
sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden speed in-
crease. This is normal as it takes place dur-
ing normal operation, for example when
activating the climate control system or
the fan. In particular a slow change in the
speed preserves the battery charge.

ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and begins working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
should move to different positions of the
scale according to the conditions of use of
the car.
C- Low engine coolant temperature.
H- High engine coolant temperature.FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
The reserve warning light B- fig. 19turns
on to indicate that approx. 8 litres of fuel
are left in the tank.
E- tank empty.
F- tank full (see the indications given in
paragraph “At the filling station").
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: the gaps in fuel delivery could dam-
age the catalyst.
IMPORTANT If the needle sets at Ewith
warning light Bflashing, it means that the
system is malfunctioning. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the system inspected. The turning on of the warning light A-fig.
19(together with the message shown on
the display) indicates that the coolant flu-
id temperature is too high; in this case,
stop the engine and contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.

The “Trip computer” displays information
(with ignition key at MAR), relating to the
operating status of the car.
This function comprises the “General trip”
concerning the “complete mission” of the
car (journey) and “Trip B”, concerning the
partial mission of the car; this latter func-
tion is “contained” (as shown in fig. 25)
within the complete mission. Both func-
tions are resettable (reset - start of new
mission).“General Trip” displays the figures relat-
ing to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” displays the figures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” function can be excluded
(see paragraph “Trip B On/Off”). “Range”
and “Instant consumption” cannot be re-
set.Values displayed
Range
This value shows the distance in km (or
mi) that the car can still cover before
needing fuel, assuming that driving condi-
tions are kept unvaried. The display will
show “----” if the range value is below 50
km (or 30 mi).
Trip distance
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission.
Average consumption
This value shows the average consump-
tion from the start of the new mission.
Instant consumption
This value shows instant fuel consumption
(this value is updated second by second). If
parking the car with engine on, the display
will show “----”.
Average speed
This value shows the car average speed as
a function of the overall time elapsed since
the start of the new mission.
