SPEEDOMETER fig. 17
It shows the car speed.
DASHBOARD LIGHTING
ADJUSTMENT (Brightness sensor)
(versions Sport with reconfigurable
multifunction display)
The versions Sport with reconfigurable
multifunction Display are provided with
a brightness sensor (located inside the
tachometer), able to detect the environ-
ment light conditions and, depending on
the measurement, to adjust the operat-
ing mode of the dashboard.
The instrument operates as follows:
❒in “daylight” mode, the display can be
set on 8 different levels, the dashboard
graphics are turned off and all the in-
dexes are fully lighted and cannot be
adjusted;
❒in “night” mode, the display, the graph-
ics and the indexes can be set on 8 dif-
ferent levels. The brightness of the bi-
zone automatic climate control system
display and of the car radio display is
accordingly adjusted.REV. COUNTER fig. 18
Rev counter shows engine rpm.
On diesel versions the rev counter end
scale value is 6000 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 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.
fig. 18F0Q0607mfig. 17F0Q0606m
The brightness level depends on the set-
tings previously set by means of the Setup
Menu of the reconfigurable multifunctional
display (see “Dimmer” at paragraph “Re-
configurable multifunctional display”).
When travelling, the graphics lighting may
turn on if the lighting in the passenger
compartment changes from “daylight” to
“night” condition (e.g. when entering a
tunnel).

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.The turning on of the warning light B-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. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
The reserve warning light A-fig. 19turns
on to indicate that approx. 8-10 litres of
fuel are left in the tank.
E- tank empty.
F- tank full (see contents of “At the filling
station” paragraph in this chapter).
Do not travel with the tank almost emp-
ty because the catalytic converter could
become damaged.
IMPORTANT The needle sets to Ewith
warning light Aflashing to indicate that the
system is failing. In this event contact Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.

ANCHORING THE LOAD
Two attachments fig. 93located inside
the luggage compartment are used to an-
chor cables that insure transported loads
are firmly secured and two attachments
on the rear crossmember fig. 94.
IMPORTANT Never anchor to single
hooks a load exceeding 100 kg.
A heavy load that has not
been secured may cause se-
rious harm to passengers.
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.

EOBD/INJECTION
SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
Under normal conditions, turning
the ignition key to MAR, the warning light
turns on, but it should go off when the en-
gine has started.
If the warning light stays on or turns on
when travelling, 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 con-
sumption 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.
The warning light turns off if the fault dis-
appears, but it is still stored by the system.
U
If, turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light U
does not turn on or if it turns
on glowing steadily or flash-
ing when travelling (on certain ver-
sions together with the message on
the display), contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible. Warning light U
operation can be checked by traffic
agents by proper equipment. Com-
ply with laws and regulations of the
country where you are driving.
Petrol engines only
Warning light turning on flashing indicates
the possibility of damage to the catalyst.
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.
FUEL RESERVE
(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.
IMPORTANT The warning light flashes to
indicate a failure, contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible to have the system
checked.
ç
Always drive at a speed ap-
propriate to the traffic
conditions, the weather and speed
limits. The engine may be turned
off while the DPF light is on; how-
ever, repeated interruption of the
regeneration process may result in
premature exhaustion of engine oil.
For this reason it is always advisable
to wait for the light to go off before
turning off the engine, following the
instructions appearing above. It is
not advisable to complete DPF re-
generation with the vehicle sta-
tionary.
