Warning light Ycoming on when
driving
❒If the warning light Yturns on, this
means that the system is running a self-
test (such as following a voltage drop).
❒If the issue persists, contact the Abarth
Dealership .
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your car. These labels bear sym-
bols that remind you of the precautions
to be taken as regards that particular com-
ponent.
The inner surface of the engine bonnet in-
cludes a label with the different symbols
used.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
This is an electrical engine locking system
which increases protection from attempt-
ed theft of the car. It is automatically acti-
vated when the ignition key is extracted.
Each time the car is started turning the ig-
nition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends a recognition code to
the engine control unit to deactivate the in-
hibitor.
If, during ignition, the code is not correctly
recognized, the light
Ylights up on the
instrument panel.
In this case, turn the key to the STOPpo-
sition and then to the MARposition; if it
is still locked, try again with the other keys
that come with the vehicle. If you have
still not managed to start the engine, con-
tact an Abarth Dealership.
IMPORTANT Each key has its own code
which must be stored by the system ECU.
Contact the Abarth Dealership to have
new keys (up to eight) stored with the
code.The electronic components
inside the key may be dam-
aged if the key is submitted to
sharp knocks.

IGNITION
SWITCH fig. 7
The key can be turned to 3 different po-
sitions:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical devices
(e.g. car radio, central door locking sys-
tem, etc.) are enabled
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical de-
vices are enabled
❒AVV: engine start.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety sys-
tem that, if the engine does not start, forces
to return the ignition key to STOPbefore
repeating the starting operation.
Never extract the key while
the vehicle is moving. The
steering wheel would be locked as
soon as the steering wheel is turned.
This also applies to when the car is
towed.
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
whatever after-market operation in-
volving steering system or steering col-
umn modifications (e.g.: installation
of anti-theft device) that could badly
affect performance and safety, cause
the lapse of warranty and also result
in non-compliance of the car with ho-
mologation requirements.

TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The “Trip computer” is used to display in-
formation on car operation when the key
is turned to MAR. This function allows to
define two separate trips called “Trip A”
and “Trip B” for monitoring the car’s
“complete mission” in a reciprocally in-
dependent manner.
Both functions are resettable (reset - start
of new mission).
“Trip A” shall be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).“Trip B” shall be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” functions may be exclud-
ed (see “Trip B on”). “Range” and “In-
stantaneous consumption” cannot be re-
set.
Values displayed
Range
The distance that can be travelled with the
fuel in the tank is displayed, with the the-
ory that driving will continue in the same
conditions. The display will show the read-
ing “----” when the following events take
place:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– the car is parked with the engine run-
ning for a long time.IMPORTANT The range depends on sev-
eral factors: driving style (see “Driving
style” in “Starting and driving”), type of
route (motorway, urban cycle, mountain
roads, etc…), conditions of use of the car
(load, tyre pressure, etc…). Trip planning
must take into account the above notes.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission.
Average consumption
This value shows the approximate aver-
age consumption from the start of the
new mission.
Instant consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The val-
ue is constantly updated. The message
“----” will appear on the display if the car is
parked with the engine running.
