Recalibrating the instruments
(compass and roll and pitch
meters)
The red LEDs will start to flash if
there is a fault with one of these
instruments.
In this case, the instruments must be
recalibrated. Proceed as follows:
– park the vehicle in an area which
is flat and with plenty of space
(suitable for driving through a
compete circle);
– make sure that the vehicle is
completely stationary;
– start the engine;
– use the stalk to switch on the side
lights 3 times in the space of 15
seconds;
– the roll and pitch meter LEDs
flash to indicate that the
recalibration process has started,
after which the compass LEDs
also flash;– at this point, drive the vehicle
through 2 complete circles,
finishing at the same starting point;
– the compass LEDs will stop
flashing; you must now switch the
side lights off 3 times in the space
of 15 seconds;
– the compass LEDs will switch on
for a moment, after which the
instrument panel display will show
a dedicated message regarding the
result of the calibration process.IMPORTANT Do not carry out the
recalibration procedure near strong
magnetic fields or energy sources.
To achieve correct recalibration,
carry out the procedure with vehicle
in running order and without
additional loads.

On some versions, when a door is
opened / closed with the key
removed, the display shows the total
milometer reading and the clock for
10 seconds; others will display the
time permanently.
The display can also show the
following:
– through the flashing “spanner”
icon, when the vehicle must be
taken to a Fiat Dealership for
Scheduled Servicing;
– TRIP COMPUTER indications;
– FIAT MY CAR menu;
– warning messages in the event of
failures;
– notification that the previously set
speed has been exceeded. – select one of the various TRIP
COMPUTER functions
– confirm / modify a selected
function
– enter TRIP mode.
Before carrying out any operation,
you are advised to read the whole of
this section carefully.

AVERAGE CONSUMPTION
This is the relationship between the
distance travelled and the number of
litres of fuel used, since the
beginning of the journey. The figure
is updated automatically every 10
seconds.
The calculation starts after having
driven at least 500 metres from the
beginning of the journey.RANGE
This is an estimate of the maximum
distance in kilometres, that can be
driven with the volume of fuel
currently present in the tank
(assuming that the driving style
adopted up to this point continues).
The calculation is based on the
average consumption in the last 5
minutes. If the car is refuelled,
another range value will be
calculated automatically.
With the vehicle stationary and
engine running or when driving at
less than 4 km/h, the display will
show the previous range value; if this
vehicle condition persists for more
than 3 minutes, this will change and
the following will be displayed: - - - -.
