Values displayed
Range
This value shows the distance that
the car can still cover before needing
fuel, assuming that driving style is
unvaried. The display will show the
reading “----” when the following
events take place:
– range value lower than 50 km
(or 30 mi)
– vehicle stopped with engine
running for an extended period.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance
covered from the start of the new
mission.
Average consumption
This value shows the average
consumption from the start of the
new mission.
Instantaneous consumption
This value shows the fuel
consumption. The value is constantly
updated. “----” will appear on the
display if the vehicle is stopped with
the engine running.Average speed
This value shows the average speed
of the vehicle considering the overall
time elapsed since the start of a new
journey.
Trip time
This value shows the time elapsed
since the start of the new mission.
IMPORTANT In the absence of
information, all Trip Computer
values are displayed with “----”
instead of the value. The various
values will be counted as normal
when standard operating conditions
are restored. This will not reset any
of the values displayed before the
failure nor will it start a new trip.TRIP button fig. 53

BRAKE FLUID LOW
(red) / HANDBRAKE
ENGAGED (red)
When the key is turned to
MAR, the warning light switches on
but should switch off after a few
seconds.
Brake fluid low
The warning light switches on when
the level of the brake fluid in the
reservoir falls below the minimum
level, possibly due to a leak in the
circuit.
On some versions, the display shows
a dedicated message.
WARNING LIGHTS
AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on
together with (where the instrument
panel permits) a specific message
and/or acoustic signal. These
indications are precautionary and as
such must not be considered as
exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner
Handbook, which you are advised to
read carefully in all cases. Always
refer to the information in this
section in the event of a failure
indication.
IMPORTANT The failure indications
displayed are divided into two
categories: very serious and less
serious faults.
Very serious faults prompt a
prolonged cycle of signals.
Less serious faults prompt a shorter
cycle of signals.Warning lights (or the symbol on
the display) on the instrument panel
will stay on until the cause of the
failure is eliminated.
If the
xwarning light
switches on when
travelling (together with the
message on the display on
certain versions), stop the
vehicle immediately and
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
x
Handbrake engaged

engine is overheated.
If the warning light switches on,
proceed as follows:
– In the case of normal driving: stop
the vehicle, stop the engine and
check that the level of coolant in
the reservoir is not below the
MIN reference. In these
circumstances, wait a few minutes
to let the engine cool, then open
the reservoir cap slowly and
cautiously.
Top up with coolant, making sure
that the level of fluid is between
the MIN and MAX references on
the reservoir. Also check visually
for leaks. If, when restarting, the
warning light should come on
again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
ç
– If the vehicle is used under
demanding conditions (e.g. towing
trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow
down and, if the light stays on,
stop the vehicle.
Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the
engine running and slightly
accelerated to further favour the
coolant circulation. Then stop the
engine. Check correct fluid level in
the reservoir as described above.IMPORTANT Over demanding
routes, it is advisable to keep the
engine on and slightly accelerated for
a few minutes before switching it off.
On some versions, the display shows
a dedicated message.

If the warning light flashes, this does
not mean that the vehicle is faulty,
but simply informs the driver that it
is now necessary to change the
engine oil as a result of regular
vehicle use.If the oil is not changed, when a
second deterioration threshold is
reached, the
Uwarning light also
switches on in the instrument panel
and engine operation is limited to
3000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when a
