SPEEDOMETER Fig. 22
Indicates the car’s speed.
REV. COUNTER Fig. 23
This indicates the engine revolution per
minute.
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 increase
of the speed.
This is normal and does not indicate a
fault. It may be caused, for example, by the
operation of the climate control system
or fan. In these case, a slow change in en-
gine speed is used to protect the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE Fig. 24
The instrument shows the litres of fuel
contained in the tank (see the “Refuelling”
paragraph for a description).

This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and starts working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C
circa. In normal conditions, the needle may
point to different positions according to
use and the engine cooling system man-
agement.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to the
lowest value of the scale (low tempera-
ture) and warning light Awill light up to
indicate a fault in the system. Go to a Fi-
at Dealership to have the system checked.
If the needle reaches the red
area, stop the engine imme-

metres or miles left when the key is
turned to MAR. The “Service Schedule”
information is provided with kilometres
(km)/miles (mi) or days (dd), according to
the deadline which appears first. Go to a
Fiat Dealership where the “Scheduled Ser-
vice” operations will be performed and the

ues of the trip B function. Average speed
This shows the car average speed as a
function of the overall time elapsed since
the start of the new mission.Journey time
This value shows the time elapsed since
the start of the new mission.
IMPORTANT If information is not avail-
able, the message “----” will appear instead
of the Trip Computer values. Displaying
of the values will be resumed when nor-
mal operation is restored without reset-
ting the values displayed before the prob-
lem nor starting a new mission.
TRIP button fig. 31
Button TRIPlocated on the top of the
right steering column stalk is used (with
ignition key at MAR) to display and re-
set the previously described values to start
a new mission:
– short push to display the different val-

– long push to reset and then start a new
mission. Values displayed
Range
This indicates the indicative distance which
may be travelled with the fuel in the tank
assuming that driving conditions do not
change. The display will show the reading
“----“ when the following events take
place:
– range lower than 50 km (or 30 miles)
or fuel level less than 4 litres in the tank;
– car left parked with engine running for
a long time.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission.
Average consumption
This indicates the indicative average con-
sumption from the start of the new mis-
sion.
Instant consumption
Indicates the fuel consumption. The val-
ue is constantly updated. The message
“----” will appear on the display if the car

ADJUSTING THE
STEERING WHEEL
The steering wheel can be adjusted in
height A-fig. 32and in depth B.
To carry out the adjustment, proceed as
follows:
❒release the lever by pulling it towards
the steering wheel (position 2);
❒adjust the steering wheel as required;
❒release the lever by pushing it for-
wards (position 1);
Any adjustment of the steer-
ing wheel position must be
carried out only with the car station-
ary and the engine turned off.
WARNING
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety. This also
causes the warranty to become null
and void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.
WARNING
ADJUSTING THE SEATS
FRONT SEATS
Fore/aft adjustment
Lift lever A-fig. 33and push the seat for-
wards and backwards to reach the re-
quired position: your arms should rest on
the steering wheel rim while you are dri-
ving.
Check that the seat is locked well on the
guides by trying to push it forwards and
backwards.
Adjusting the height
(driver’s seat) (where provided)
Move lever
B-fig. 33upwards or down-
wards to achieve the required height.
IMPORTANT Sit in the driver’s seat with
the car not moving to adjust.

Air recirculation
on/off button (C)
Air recirculation works
according to the follow-
ing operating logics:
❒forced switching on (inside air recir-
culation always on), indicated by the
turning off of the button led C-fig. 62
and symbol íon the display;
❒function off (air recirculation always
off and introduction of external air),
indicated by the fact that the LED on
the button will go off and symbol
ê
will appear on the display.
These operating conditions are obtained
by pressing Cin sequence.
For safety reasons, the system will auto-
matically turn the recycling function off to
allow the introduction of fresh air after a
certain time.IMPORTANT The air recirculation func-
tion makes it possible to reach the re-
quired heating or cooling conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside, especially if the climate con-
trol compressor is off.
Recirculation is forced off (i.e. air is in-
troduced from the outside) when the the
outside temperature is cold to prevent
misting up.
Climate control
compressor on/off
button (B)
Press button
√when
the LED on the button
is on, to turn the climate
control compressor off. The LED will go
out. Press the button when the LED is off
to restore automatically system control
and use of the compressor. The LED will
light up on the button in this case.
The system will switch recirculation off
when the compressor is switched off to
prevent misting up. Although the system
is capable of maintaining the requiredtemperature, the word FULLwill disap-
pear from the display. If on the other
hand the system cannot maintain the
required temperature, the digits will
blink and the word AUTOwill disap-
pear.
IMPORTANT With the compressor off,
it is not possible to introduced air cool-
er than ambient temperature into the
passenger compartment. Furthermore,
in certain conditions, the windows could
mist up rapidly because the air is not
dehumidified.
The switching off of the climate control
compressor remains in storage even
when the engine has been stopped. To
restore automatic compressor control,
press √again (in this case, the system
will only work as a heater) or press
AUTO.
When the compressor is off, if the
external temperature is hotter than the
set temperature and the system cannot
satisfy the request, the digits of the set
temperature will blink for a few seconds
and the message AUTOwill go out.
With climate control compressor off,
the fan speed can be set to zero manual-
ly (no bar shown).
With the compressor on and the engine
started, the fan speed may be reduced to
the minimum setting (only one bar
shown).
It is advisable not to use the
air recirculation function
when the outside temperature is low
to prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.

and front side windows vents;
❒heated rear window on.
IMPORTANT The fast demist/defrost
function will remain on for approximate-
ly 3 minutes, from when the engine
coolant reaches a temperature of 50°C
(petrol versions) or 35°C (Multijet ver-
sions).
When this function is on, the LED of the
corresponding button switches on and

REDUCING THE MEMORIZED
SPEED
The stored speed can be increased in two
ways:
❒by turning the device off and then
storing a new speed;
or
❒ moving the stalk downwards (–) until
reaching the new speed which will be
memorised automatically.
Each movement of the lever will corre-
spond to a slight reduction in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the lever held
downwards will correspond to a continu-
ous speed reduction.
