Values displayed
External temperature
Indicates the temperature outside the vehicle passenger
compartment.
Range (for versions/markets where provided)
It indicates the distance that can still be travelled based
on the fuel in the tank assuming that driving conditions
will not change. The message “---” will appear on the
display in the following cases:
– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle left parked with engine running for long
period.
Trip distance
This value shows the distance covered from the start of
the new mission.
Average consumption (for versions/markets where provided)
This value shows the average consumption from the
start of the new mission.
Instant consumption (for versions/markets where provided)
This indicates instant fuel consumption and it is
constantly updated. The message “---” will appear on
the display if the vehicle is parked with the engine
running.
Average speed
Represents the average vehicle speed as a function of
the overall time elapsed since the start of a new mission.TRIP COMPUTER
General information
The “Trip computer” is used to display information on
vehicle operation when the key is turned to
MAR-ON.
This function allows you to define two separate trips,
called “Trip A” and “Trip B”, for monitoring the
vehicle’s “complete mission” (journey) in a reciprocally
independent manner. Both functions can be reset (reset
means start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Outside temperature
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used
to display 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”). “Range” and “Instant consumption”
parameters cannot be reset.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may help you to keep
the running costs of your vehicle down and lower the
amount of toxic emissions released into the
atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval
of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low,
consumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of
the vehicle (especially when driving in town) and its
geometry greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories decrease aerodynamic
penetration of the vehicle and have a negative effect on
fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer, particularly
for transporting bulky objects. In addition to these general precautions, some simple
precautions can improve driving safety, travelling
comfort and vehicle durability:
❒distribute the load evenly over the floor: if it is
necessary to concentrate it in a single area, choose
an area mid-way between both axles;
❒remember that the lower the load, the lower the
vehicle’s centre of gravity, making for a safer drive:
therefore always position the heaviest goods lower
down;
❒lastly, remember that the vehicle’s dynamic
behaviour is affected by the weight transported:
in particular, the stopping distances are longer,
especially at high speed.
If you wish to carry petrol in a reserve
tank, observe the legal restrictions and
only use a tank that is type approved and
properly secured to the load anchorage
eyebolts. However, the risk of fire in the event
of an accident increases.

Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when starting at traffic lights or
before switching off the engine. The latter action, like
doubling the clutch, is unnecessary and causes increase
of consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road conditions
allow. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase
consumption. In the same way improper use of a high gear
increases consumption, emissions an engine wear.
Max. speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed.
Keep your speed as even as possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cause excessive fuel
consumption and increased emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently will greatly affect consumption and
emissions: acceleration should therefore be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum torque. Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time
needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing the requirement
of current increases fuel consumption (up to +25% in
the urban cycle).
Climate control system
The climate control system is an additional load which
greatly affects the engine leading to higher consumption
(on average up to +20%). When the temperature
outside the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and consumption
levels.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the vehicle at a standstill or
at idle or high speed: under these conditions the engine
warms up much more slowly, increasing consumption and
emissions. It is therefore advisable to move off
immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds. This way the
engine will warm faster.

POWER STEERING FLUID fig. 230
Check that the liquid contained in the tank is at the
maximum level. This operation must be carried out with
the vehicle level and with the engine off and cold. Check
that the fluid level is up to the MAX mark on the
dipstick attached to the fuel cap (use the level shown on
the 20°C side of the dipstick to check when cold).
If the level of the fluid in the tank is lower than the
specified level, top up using only one of the products
indicated in the “Fluid and lubricants” table in the
“Technical specifications” section, proceeding as follows:
❒Start the engine and wait for the level of fluid in the
tank to stabilise.
❒With the engine running, turn the steering wheel
from right to left fully, several times.

Power steering fluid consumption is very
low. If the fluid needs topping up a short
time after the last top-up, have the
system checked by a Fiat Dealership to ensure
there are no leaks.
Do not press the power steering end of
travel lock for longer than 8 consecutive
seconds with the engine running because
it will cause noise and risk damaging the system.
❒Top up the fuel to the MAX level and then retighten
the cap.
Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine
parts: the liquid is flammable.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the homologation tests set down by
specific European Directives. The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the vehicle; extra-urban cycle: frequent
accelerations in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the vehicle: speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
mixed cycle: is calculated weighing about 37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of extra-urban consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the vehicle, trim
level/equipment/accessories, climate control system, vehicle load, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to
different fuel consumption levels than those measured.
