SPEEDOMETER fig. 12
It shows the engine speed.REV. COUNTER fig. 13
Rev counter shows engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is “over-revving”
resulting in a gradual loss of engine pow-
er.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden higher-
ing of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place during nor-
mal operation, for example when activat-
ing the climate control system or the fan.
In particular a slow change in the speed
preserves the battery charge.

“At the filling station”.
IMPORTANT The needle sets to Ewith
warning light Aflashing to indicate that the
system is failing. In this event contact
Abarth Dealership to have the system
checked.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE fig. 15
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 hover around the middle of the
scale according to the working conditions.
CLow engine coolant temperature
HHigh engine coolant temperature.The turning on of the warning light B(with
a message on the reconfigurable multi-
function display) indicates that the coolant
fluid temperature is too high; in this case,
stop the engine and contact a Abarth
Dealership.
If the needle reaches the red
area, stop the engine imme-
diately and contact a Abarth

FUEL RESERVE
(amber)
Turning the ignition key in the
MARposition the warning light turns on,
it has to turn off after a few seconds.
The light turns on when the amount of the
fuel remaining in the tank is about 7 litres.
IMPORTANT if the warning light flashes
there probably is a failure in the system. In
this case refer to the Abarth Dealership in
order to have the system immediately in-
spected. ABS SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
Turning the ignition key in the
MARposition the warning light turns on,
it has to turn off after a few seconds.
The light turns on when the system is in-
effective or unavailable. In this case the
braking system maintains unchanged its ef-
fectiveness, but without the potential of-
fered by the ABS system. Drive very care-
fully and as soon as possible refer to the
Abarth Dealership.
The display visualizes the specific message.

FRONT PASSENGER
AIR BAG
DEACTIVATED (amber)
The “warning light turns on when the
front passenger side air bag is deactivat-
ed.
When the front passenger-side air bag is
activated, turning the ignition key in the
MARposition, the “light illuminates for
about 4 seconds, it flashes for the follow-
ing 4 seconds after which it has to turn off.
The “light also indicates
possible failures of the
¬light. This condition is reported by the
flashing of the “light for over the
normal 4 seconds. In this case the ¬
light may not signal possible failures
in the restraint systems. Before go-
ing on refer to the Abarth Dealership
in order to have the system immedi-
ately inspected.
