REV. COUNTER fig. 18
The indicator B shows the engine revolution number.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system grad-
ually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is “over-
revving” resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate
a gradual or sudden increase of the speed.
This behaviour is standard as it takes place during the ac-
tivation of the climate control system or the fan. It should
not be considered as a fault. In these cases, a slow change
in engine speed preserves the battery charge.
INSTRUMENTSThe instrument background colour and type may vary
according to the versions.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 19
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid and
starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50 °C.
Under normal conditions, the needle should hover
around the middle of the scale depending on the working
conditions.
C Low engine coolant temperature
H High engine coolant temperature.
The warning light B may light up (with a message on
the reconfigurable multifunction display for some versions)
to indicate that the coolant temperature is too high; in this
case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 19
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full (see the instructions provided in paragraph
“At the filling station”).
The reserve warning light A turns on to indicate that
approximately 5 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle sets to E with the warning light
A flashing to indicate that the system is failing. If this is
the case, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
If the needle reaches the red area, stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.

FUEL RESERVE (amber)
Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning light
turns on, but it should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when about 5 litres fuel are left
in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light will flash to indicate a sys-
tem failure. If this is the case, contact a Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked.

DPF (DIESEL PARTICULATE TRAP)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(only Multijet versions with DPF
– amber)
When the key is turned to the MAR position the warn-
ing light comes on but should go out after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on steadily when the DPF systems
needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants by the regen-
eration process.
The warning light does not come on every time the DPF
is being regenerated, rather only when the driving condi-
tions are such that the driver needs to know it. To switch
the warning light off, the car must be kept moving until the
regeneration process is completed.
As an average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
The best conditions to complete the regeneration process
are reached driving the car at about 60 km/h with engine
speed over 2000 rpm. When this warning light comes on,
it does not indicate a car failure and thus it should not be
taken to the workshop. For versions/markets where pro-
vided, the display shows the dedicated message and the
warning light comes on.
h
The driving speed should always be suit-
able to traffic conditions, weather condi-
tions and the driver should always comply with
the Highway Code. The engine can also be
switched off if the DPF warning light is on; nev-
ertheless, repeated interruptions of the regener-
ation process could cause an early decay of en-
gine oil. For this reason, always wait until the
warning light switches off before stopping the en-
gine as above described. DPF regeneration should
not be completed when the car is at a standstill
