INSTRUMENTS
Instrument background color and type
may vary according to the version.
SPEEDOMETER fig. 10
It shows the engine speed.
REV. COUNTER fig. 11/a
Rev counter shows engine rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection con-
trol system gradually shuts off the flow of
fuel when the engine is “over-revving” re-
sulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden higher-
ing of the speed.
This is normal and takes place for exam-
ple when activating the climate control
system or the fan. In these events a slight
increase in engine idling preserves the bat-
tery charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE B-fig. 11/b
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
Ktank full (See the indications given in
paragraph “At the filling station”).
åtank empty.
The reserve warning light Kturns on to
indicate that approximately 7 litres of fu-
el are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: the gaps in fuel delivery could dam-
age the catalyst.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
C-fig. 11/b
This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and begins working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
should hover around the middle of the
scale according to the working conditions.

Turn this function on by pressing button
Ω.
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel etc.). However, it is better
not to use it for long periods, especially
if there are several people in the vehicle.IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster.
Do not use the air recirculation function
on rainy/cold days as it would consider-
ably increase the possibility of the win-
dows misting inside.

Window demisting
In the event of considerable outside mois-
ture and/or rain and/or considerable dif-
ferences in temperature inside and outside
the passenger compartment, perform the
following preventive demisting procedure:
❒turn slider Cto red section;
❒turn air recirculation off by pressing

IMPORTANT The climate control system
is very useful to prevent window misting
up in presence of high humidity since it de-
humidifies the air.HEATED REAR WINDOW AND

DEMISTING/DEFROSTING fig. 47
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Press button Ato start this function;

After demisting/defrosting, operate the
controls to keep the required comfort.
IMPORTANT The climate control system
is very useful to speed up demisting since
it dehumidifies the air. Set controls to
demisting function and switch on the cli-
mate control system by pressing button
E; the knob led will turn on.
