REV COUNTER fig. 12
The rev counter shows the engine rpm.
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
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
activation of the climate control system or the fan.
It should not be considered as a fault. In such cases,
a slight increase in engine idle speed helps to safeguard
the battery charge level.INSTRUMENTS
The instrument background colour and type may vary
according to the versions.

If the needle reaches the red area, stop
the engine immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.The symbols are gradually turned off as the oil level
drops.
Four or five symbols light up to indicate a sufficient level
of oil in the sump. If the fifth symbol is not lit, this does
not indicate a fault or that insufficient oil is present in
the sump.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum required value,
the display shows a dedicated message indicating
minimum engine oil level and the need for a top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil quantity,
always check using the dipstick (see paragraph
“Checking levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display indicating the
amount of engine oil disappears and:
❒when the next scheduled servicing is near, the time
to the next service is displayed and the warning light
õlights up on the instrument panel. When the
service date is reached, the display shows
a dedicated message;
❒then, if it is nearly time to change the engine oil, the
time to the next oil change is shown on the top row
of the display. When the service interval has expired
a dedicated warning will be shown on the display. ENGINE OIL LEVEL GAUGE
(for versions/markets where provided)
The gauge provides a graphic indication of the level of
oil in the engine.
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON the display
shows the oil level on the first row by turning five
symbols on/off.

The intake air temperature is always automatically
controlled according to the temperature set on the display
(except for when the system is off or in certain conditions
when the compressor is not running).
The system allows the following parameters and
functions to be set or altered manually: air temperature,
fan speed (continuous variation); air distribution in
seven positions; compressor enablement, fast
defrosting/demisting function; air recirculation; switching
off of the system;

SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The automatic climate control system adjusts the
temperature, the quantity and the distribution of the air
in the passenger compartment.
The temperature control is based on the “equivalent
temperature”: in other words, the system continuously
works to keep the comfort level inside the vehicle
constant and to compensate for possible variations in
outside conditions, including the sun’s rays detected by
a dedicated sensor. The automatically controlled
parameters and functions are:
❒air temperature at the vents;
❒air distribution at the vents;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❒compressor activation (to cool/dehumidify the air);
❒air recirculation.
All functions may be changed manually. In other words,
you may select one or more functions and change the
parameters as required. Automatic control of the
manually changed functions will be suspended: the
system will override your settings only for safety-related
reasons (e.g. risk of misting up). Manual selections will
always take priority over automatic settings and will be
stored until the user switches the system back to
automatic operation by pressing the AUTO button again
expect for the cases in which the system will intervene
for particular, safety-related reasons. You can adjust one
function manually without affecting the automatic
control of the others.

The fan speed is shown by the bars lit up on the display:
❒Max. fan speed = all bars lit;
❒Min. fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be disabled only if the climate control
compressor has been switched off by pressing button
F-fig. 53.
IMPORTANT To restore automatic fan speed control
after a manual adjustment, press the AUTO button.
IMPORTANT At high vehicle speeds, the dynamic effect
may increase the flow of air into the passenger
compartment, which in this case will not directly
correspond to the fan speed bar display.
AUTO button (A)
(automatic operation)
When the AUTO button is pressed the
system automatically regulates the
quantity and the distribution of the air
introduced into the passenger
compartment cancelling all the previous
manual adjustments.
The message FULL AUTO will appear on the front
display in this condition.
By manually adjusting at least one of the functions
automatically managed by the system (air recirculation,
air distribution, fan speed or switching off the
compressor), the word FULL will disappear from the
display, indicating that the system is no longer
automatically controlling all the functions (the
temperature will still be controlled automatically).
