Values displayed
Range
Indicates the travel distance left before the
vehicle runs out of the fuel in the tank.
The message “----” will appear on the dis-
play in the following cases:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle left parked with engine running
for long.
IMPORTANT Changes of the range value
can be affected by many factors: driving
style (see paragraph “Driving style” in sec-
tion “Starting and driving”), type of route
(motorway, urban cycle, mountain roads,
etc…), conditions of use of the vehicle
(load, tyre pressure, etc…). Trip planning
must take into account the above notes.Trip distance
Indicates the distance covered from the
start of a new mission.
Average consumption
Represents the approximate average con-
sumption from the start of a new mission.
Instant consumption
Indicates the fuel consumption. The val-
ue is constantly updated. The message
“----” will appear on the display if the ve-
hicle is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
Represents the vehicle average speed as a
function of the overall time elapsed since
the start of a new mission.Trip time
Indicates the time elapsed since the start
of a new mission.
IMPORTANT If information is not avail-
able, the message “----” will appear instead
of the Trip Computer values. Counting of
the different values will be resumed reg-
ularly when normal operation is restored.
This will not cause any resetting of the val-
ues displayed before the failure nor start-
ing a new mission.

STARTING
AND DRIVING
USING THE GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch ped-
al fully and shift the gear lever A-fig. 2
into one of the required positions (the di-
agram is shown on the knob fig. 2).
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be en-
gaged when the vehicle is at a standstill.
With the engine running, wait for at least
2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully
pressed before engaging reverse to pre-
vent damage to the gears and grating.
fig. 2F0T0055m
Press the clutch pedal fully
to shift the gears correctly.
For this reason, there must be no ob-
stacles on the floor under the pedals:
make sure that the mats are always
flat and do not interfere with the ped-
als.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as
the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead to prema-
ture wear on the gearbox internal com-
ponents over time. The clutch pedal
must be used for gear shift only. Nev-
er drive with the foot resting, even if
slightly, on the clutch pedal. For ver-
sions/markets, where provided the
clutch pedal control electronics can in-
tervene interpreting the wrong drive
style as a fault.
CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and
minimize polluting emissions of CO
2and
other pollutants (nitric oxide, unburnt hy-
drocarbons, fine dusts etc…).
GENERAL REMARKS
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled Service
Plan”.
Tyres
Check tyre pressure regularly at least
once every four weeks: excessively low
pressure will increase consumption be-
cause rolling resistance will be higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its trim greatly affect
fuel consumption and stability.

STARTING
AND DRIVING
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof after use. These accessories de-
crease aerodynamic penetration of the ve-
hicle and have a negative effect on fuel
consumption. It is better to use a trailer
to transport particularly bulky objects.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. The rear heated window,
additional headlights, windscreen wipers
and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing fu-
el consumption (up to +25% in the urban
cycle).
Climate control
The climate control system leads to high-
er fuel consumption (up to +20% on av-
erage): use air vents only when the ex-
ternal temperature allows it.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may ad-
versely affect air drag and fuel consump-
tion levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine up with the ve-
hicle running at min. or max. rpm: the en-
gine warms up very slowly in these con-
ditions, increasing consumption and emis-
sions. It is advisable to start off immedi-
ately and slowly keeping the engine speed
down: the engine will warm up much
faster this way.
Unnecessary manoeuvres
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine. The
latter manoeuvre, like doubling the clutch,
is unnecessary and causes increased fuel
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 fuel consumption, emissions and
engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as
speed increases. Keep your speed as uni-
form as possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration which cause ex-
cessive fuel consumption and increase emis-
sions.Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative
effect on consumptions and emissions: ac-
celerate gradually.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-
ups will prevent the engine from reach-
ing optimal running temperature.
Consequently, both consumption (from
+15 to +30% on urban cycle ) and emis-
sions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Quite high consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when travelling
in a queue with frequent use of low gears
or in cities with many traffic lights. Moun-
tain and rough roads also have a negative
effect on consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level cross-
ings) the engine should be switched off.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
On certain versions the dedicated mes-

In these conditions, the vehicle can con-
tinue travelling at moderate speed with-
out demanding excessive effort from the
engine. Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
EOBD engine
control system failure
Under normal conditions, when the igni-
tion key is moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after en-
gine start-up.
This indicates that the warning light is
working correctly. If the warning light ei-
ther stays on or comes on during vehicle
travel, the following applies.
❒Steady light: indicates a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause
high emissions at the exhaust, possible
reduced performances, poor drivabili-
ty and high fuel consumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
In these conditions, the vehicle can con-
tinue travelling at moderate speed with-
out demanding excessive effort from
the engine or high speeds. Prolonged
use of the vehicle with the warning light
on may cause damage. Go to a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light goes out after the
fault is cleared, and the indication is
stored in the system. SEAT BELTS
NOT FASTENED
(red)
The warning light in the panel turns on
steadily when the vehicle is not running
and the seat belt on the driver’s side is not
correctly fastened. The warning light
blinks, and a buzzer goes off, when the ve-
hicle is running and the front seat belts are
not correctly fastened.
The buzzer of the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Re-
minder) system can only be switched off
by a Fiat Dealership.
On some versions the system can be re-
activated from the setup menu.MINIMUM
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
(red)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light on the panel turns on, but
it should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light goes on in the panel
when the oil level drops below the mini-
mum value. Top up the oil to the correct
level (see “Level checking” in section
“Maintenance and care”).
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.

If the warning light stays on or turns on
when travelling, a fault in the supply/igni-
tion system has occurred, which could
cause high emissions at the exhaust, pos-
sible lack of performance, poor handling
and high fuel consumption levels.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis
of the type-approval tests set down by
specific European Directives. IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic
and weather conditions, driving style, gen-
eral conditions of the vehicle, trim lev-
el/equipment/accessories, load, climate
control system, roof rack, other situations
that affect air drag may lead to different
fuel consumption levels than those mea-
sured. The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by
driving that simulates urban use of the
vehicle;
❒extraurban cycle: frequent acceler-
ations in all gears, simulating extraur-
ban use of the vehicle: speed varies be-
tween 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined consumption: calculated
weighing about 37% of urban cycle con-
sumption and about 63% of extraurban
consumption.
