2007 FIAT IDEA fuel

Cruising range= shows the distance (in km or
miles) that the car can still cover before needing fuel,
assuming that driving conditions are kept unvaried.
The display will show “- - - -” in the following cases:
❒value for range to empty lower than 50 km or fuel
level below 4 litres; in this event before “- - - -”
the message “Warning, limited range” will be
displayed (this message will be displayed also if not
in TRIP COMPUTER mode);
❒in case of car parked with engine running for a
long period, when the car moves off the range to
empty indication will be displayed again.
Travelled distance= shows the km (or miles)
covered from last reset (*).
Average fuel consumption= shows the average
consumption calculated from last reset (*), this value
can be expressed in l/100 km or mpg.
Instant consumption= shows the fuel consumption
variation updated every second, it can be expressed in
l/100 km or mpg. In case of car parked with engine
running the display will show “- - - -”. When the car
moves off the instant consumption indication will be
displayed again.
Average speed= shows the average speed of the
car in relation with total time elapsed from last reset
(*), this value can be expressed in km/h or in mph.Travel time= time elapsed from last reset (*).
(*) Reset can be:
– “manual”, reset is performed by the driver by
pressing the relevant button (see paragraph
“Control buttons”)
– “automatic”, reset is performed when the travelled
distance reaches 3999.9 km or when travel time
reaches 99:59 (99 hours and 59 minutes)
– after reconnecting the battery.
IMPORTANT Lacking information, Trip computer
values are displayed with “- - - -”. When restoring
normal operating conditions after a failure, calculation
will restart regularly without resetting values.
IMPORTANT After battery disconnection/connection
certain displayed values are equal to “- - - -” until
significant data for calculation are available.

TRIP COMPUTER
The “Trip computer” displays information relating to the operating status of the car. This function comprises the
“General trip”, concerning the complete mission of the car and “Trip B”, concerning the partial car mission. The car is
delivered with “Trip B” set to “ON”. This function (as shown in the graph below) is contained within the complete
mission. Both functions are resettable. The “General trip” displays the figures relating to Cruising Range, Travelled
Distance, Average fuel consumption, Current fuel consumption, Average speed, Travel time (driving time). “Trip B”
displays information concerning Travel Distance B, Average fuel consumption B, Average speed B, Travel time B
(driving time). The “Trip B” function can be excluded.
Start of journey procedure (reset)
To start a new journey monitored by the “General Trip”, with the key to MAR, press button
{on right steering
column stalk with mode
&(see paragraph “Display control buttons”).
The reset operation in the presence of the screens concerning the “General trip” makes it possible to reset also the
“Trip B”. The reset operation in the presence of the screens concerning only the “Trip B” makes it possible to reset
only the information associated with this function.
IMPORTANT The “Cruising range” information cannot be reset.

INERTIAL FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH OPERATION
WARNING MESSAGE
The message shown in the figure is displayed automatically when the fuel
cut-off switch comes into operation after a crash.
This switch stops fuel supply.
See paragraph “Inertial fuel cut-off switch”.

INERTIAL FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
It is located next to the passenger’s door pillar, at the bottom (move the
covering aside to reach it) and it comes into operation in the case of a
crash by cutting off fuel and switching off the engine.
When the fuel cut-off switch is on, warning light è(if any) comes on
together with the message on the multifunction reconfigurable display.
Carefully inspect the car to find fuel leaks, e.g. in the engine
compartment, under the car or near the tank.
If no fuel leaks are found and the car can be started again, press button
(A) to reset the fuel system and the lights.
After a crash, remember to turn the ignition key to STOP to prevent
battery run-down.

AT THE FILLING STATION
PETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fuel tank filler
is too small to introduce a lead petrol pump filler. Use
petrol with a rated octane number (R.O.N.) not lower
than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads to harmful
exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amount or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalyst beyond repair.
MULTIJET ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin and could
cause the malfunctioning of the fuel system.In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel are distributed according to the season: summer
type, winter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for the
current temperature, mix diesel fuel with TUTELA
DIESEL ART additive in the proportions stated on the
can, putting first the antifreeze in the tank and then the
diesel fuel.
If driving or parking the vehicle for a long period in
cold areas/mountains, refuel with the diesel fuel
available at local filling stations.
In this situation you are also recommended to have in
the tank an amount of fuel 50% higher than usable
capacity.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two refuelling
operations after the first click of the fuel delivery gun.
Avoid further topping up operations that could cause
damages to the fuel system.

The car must only be filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in compliance with European Standard
EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of
the warranty due to the damage caused. In the event of accidentally filling with another type of fuel,
do not start the engine and empty the tank. If the engine has been run even for only a very short time, in addi-
tion to the tank, it is also necessary to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
