TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The Trip computer is used to display information on
vehicle operation when the ignition key is turned
to MAR. This function allows you to define two
separate trips, called "Trip A" and "Trip B", for
monitoring the "complete mission" (journey) of the
vehicle in a reciprocally independent manner. Both
functions can be reset (start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the values relating to:
❒Outside temperature (for versions with outside
temperature sensor and methane-powered
vehicles)
❒Range
❒Distance travelled
❒Average consumption
❒Current consumption
❒Average speed
❒Travel time (driving time).
"Trip B", available on multifunction display only, is
used to display the values relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Travel time B (driving time).
“Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating
Trip B”). “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be
reset .
Values displayed
Range
This indicates the distance which may be travelled
with the fuel in the tank assuming that driving style
does not change. The display will show the reading
“----“ when the following events take place:
❒range is lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒vehicle is left parked with the engine running for a
long time.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected by several
factors: driving style (see “Driving style” in the
“Starting and driving” section), type of route
(motorway, towns and cities, mountain roads, etc.),
conditions of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip
planning must therefore take the above into account.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered from the start
of the new journey.

FUEL FILLER CAP
Opening
1) Open the flap A fig. 95 by pulling it outwards,
keep the cap B fig. 95 still, insert the ignition key in
the lock and turn it anticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and remove it.
The cap has a device C fig. 95 that attaches it to the
flap so it cannot be lost. When refilling, attach the
cap to the flap, as illustrated.
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it
clockwise until it clicks once or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close
the flap.The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in
pressure in the tank. A suction noise when you
release the cap is therefore entirely normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler
to prevent breathing in harmful vapours.

SAVING FUEL
Here are some useful tips to save fuel and minimise
harmful emissions of CO2 and other pollutants
(nitric oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, fine dusts etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
General conditions which influence fuel consumption
are shown below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressure at least once every four
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 trim 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 reduce the aerodynamic
coefficient of the vehicle and have a negative effect
on fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer
to transport particularly bulky objects.Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, auxiliary
headlights, windscreen wipers and fan heater use up
a considerable amount of current, causing increased
fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
The air conditioner leads to higher fuel consumption
(on average up to +20%). If the temperature outside
is not too extreme, try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect
aerodynamics and fuel consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles affecting fuel consumption
are shown below.
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when
the vehicle is stationary; this causes the engine to
warm up more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is advisable to set off
immediately and slowly, avoiding high revs: this allows
the engine to warm up more quickly.

A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
EXTERIOR LIGHTS FAULT (amber)
The warning light comes on (on some versions)
when a failure is detected in one of the following
lights:
❒side/tail lights
❒brake lights
❒rear fog lights
❒direction indicators
❒number plate lights.
The failure relating to these lights could be: one or
more blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or a
break in the electrical connection.
On certain versions warning light
comes on
instead.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
GENERIC FAILURE INDICATION
(amber)
The warning light turns on in the following
circumstances:
Engine oil pressure sensor failure
The warning light turns on when an engine oil
pressure sensor failure is detected.
Go to a Fiat Dealership to have the fault fixed as
soon as possible.
Exterior lights fault
(for versions/markets, where provided)
See exterior lights warning light section.
Fuel cut-off switch tripped
The warning light comes on when the fuel cut-off
switch is triggered.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Parking sensor failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
See parking sensor warning light section.

REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if
necessary, top up:
❒engine coolant level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre inflation pressure and condition;
❒operation of lighting system (headlamps, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
❒operation of screen wash/wipe system and
positioning/wear of windscreen/rear window wiper
blades.
Check and top up, if required, the engine oil level
every 3,000 km.
You are recommended to use PETRONAS
LUBRICANTS products, which have been designed
and produced specifically for Fiat vehicles (see
“Capacities” table in the “Technical specifications”
section).
HEAVY USAGE OF THE VEHICLE
Should prevailing use of the vehicle be under one of
the following specially heavy conditions:
❒towing a trailer or caravan;
❒dusty roads;
❒short, repeated journeys (less than 7-8 km) at
sub-zero outside temperatures;
❒engine often idling, or driving long distances at low
speed (e.g. door to door deliveries) or long period
of idleness;
❒urban trips;
perform the following inspections more frequently
than shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad condition and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust - fuel -
brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge status and fluid (electrolyte)
level (refer to "Battery - Check state of charge
and electrolyte level" paragraph in this chapter);
❒visually inspect condition of the auxiliary drive
belts;

WARNING
Remember that the road holding
qu
alities of your vehicle also depend on
the correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
Excessively low pressure will cause
o
verheating of the tyre and may cause
severe tyre damage.
WARNING
Do not exchange the tyres from the left
to
the right of the vehicle and vice versa.
WARNING
Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at
temper
atures higher than 150°C.The
mechanical characteristics of the wheels might
be compromised.
RUBBER LINES
Follow the requirements in “Scheduled Servicing
Plan” in this section carefully for brake and fuel
rubber lines.
Ozone, high temperatures and a prolonged lack of
fluid in the system may cause hardening and cracking
of the tubes, which could result in leaks. Careful
inspections are therefore necessary.
