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.

Take out buckles from their housing to
have them ready for use.ANCHORING THE LOAD
The boot houses 4 hooks (where provid-
ed) fig. 114to which ropes can be at-
tached which ensure that the load is prop-
erly secured.
IMPORTANT Never anchor to single
hooks a load exceeding 100 kg.
fig. 113F0C0336m
fig. 114F0C0034m
A heavy load that has not
been secured may cause se-
rious harm.
WARNING
If you want to carry reserve
fuel in a can, follow law reg-
ulations, only using a certified can,
suitably fastened to the load securing
eyelets. Even in this way the risk of
fire is increased in the case of an ac-
cident.

(amber)
Turning the ignition key to
MARthe warning light turns on,
but it should go off after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when about 8
litres fuel are left in the tank. The display
will show the dedicated message.
IMPORTANT The warning light flashes to
indicate a failure, contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible to have the system
checked.ENGINE CONTROL
SYSTEM FAILURE
(EOBD) (amber)
In normal conditions, turning the
ignition key to MAR, the warning light
turns on, but it should go off when the en-
gine has started. The initial turning on in-
dicates that the warning light is working
properly. If the warning light stays on or
turns on when travelling:
❒glowing steadily: means a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause
high emissions at the exhaust, possible
lack of performance, poor handling and
high consumption levels.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
In these conditions it is possible to con-
tinue driving without however requiring
heavy effort or high speed from the en-
gine. Prolonged use of the car with the
warning light on may cause damages. Con-
tact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
çU
If, turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light Udoes not turn on or if it turns
on glowing steadily or flashing
when travelling, contact Fiat Dealer-
ship. Warning light
Uoperation can
be checked by traffic agents by prop-
er equipments, therefore comply with
laws and regulations of the country
where you are driving.
The warning light turns off if the fault dis-
appears, but it is still stored by the system.
❒flashing: indicates the possibility of dam-
age to the catalyst (see “EOBD system”
in section “Dashboard and controls”).
If the light flashes, it is necessary to release
the accelerator pedal to lower the speed
of the engine until the warning light stops
flashing; continue the journey at moder-
ate speed, trying to avoid driving condi-
tions that may cause further flashing and
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble.
