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
The TRIP button is located at the
end of the right stalk. With the
ignition key turned to MAR-ON, it
allows the parameters described
previously to be viewed, as well as
reset for a new trip:
– brief press to access the various
parameter displays
– long press to reset and thus start
a new mission.

Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as
possible if the
U
warning light does not switch on
when the ignition key is turned
to MAR or if it switches on
when driving (together with a
message on the display on some
versions). The operation of the
Uwarning light may be
checked by the traffic control
authorities using specific
devices. Always comply with the
traffic regulations in force in the
country where you are driving.
INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE (amber)
In normal conditions, when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, the
warning light switches on, but should
switch off when the engine starts.
If the warning light stays on or
comes on when travelling, it means
there is a fault in the injection
system which could cause loss of
performance, poor handling and high
fuel consumption levels.
On some versions, the display shows
a dedicated message.
Under these conditions, the vehicle
can continue travelling at moderate
speed without demanding excessive
effort from the engine. In any case,
you should contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible. DOORS NOT
CLOSED
CORRECTLY (red)
On certain versions, the warning
light switches on when one or more
doors are not closed correctly. On
some versions, the display shows a
dedicated message. On some
versions, an acoustic signal is emitted
when the vehicle is in motion.SEAT BELTS NOT
FASTENED (red)
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, the warning light flashes
10 times in 10 seconds, regardless of
whether or not the seat belt is
fastened.

(amber) (for versions/
markets where provided)
The warning light may come on
(and a message on the multifunction

versions) to indicate that there is a
fault in the Fiat Code system or, if
applicable, the alarm system; in this
case, contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.

FUEL SAVING
Here are some useful tips to save
fuel and minimise harmful emissions
of CO
2and other pollutants (nitric
oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons,
particulate matter etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out on the vehicle in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres
routinely at an interval of no more
than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too
low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with excess load.
The weight of the vehicle (especially
when driving in town), and its trim
greatly affect consumption and
stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski
rack from the roof after use.
These accessories reduce the
vehicle’s aerodynamic penetration
and have a negative effect on
consumption. When transporting
particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time necessary. The
additional headlights, windscreen
wipers and heater fan consume a
considerable amount of energy,
thereby increasing fuel consumption
(by up to 25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
Climate control leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average by up to
20%): if the temperature outside
permits, try and use the ventilation
only.
Devices for aerodynamic
control
The use of non-certified devices for
aerodynamic control may adversely
affect air drag and consumption
levels.
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect
fuel consumption are listed below.

103
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 move off
immediately and slowly, avoiding
high speeds: in this way the engine
will warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when stopped at
traffic lights or before stopping the
engine.
This, as well as double declutching, is
absolutely unnecessary and increases
consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the
traffic and road permit, use a higher
gear.
Using a low gear for faster
acceleration will increase
consumption.Improper use of a high gear
increases consumption, emissions
and engine wear.
Maximum speed
Fuel consumption increases
considerably with speed. Maintain a
constant speed, avoiding
unnecessary braking and
acceleration, which cost in terms of
both fuel and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently will greatly
affect consumption and emissions:
acceleration should be gradual.
CONDITIONS OF USE
The main usage conditions that
negatively affect fuel consumption
are listed below.Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold
starts do not allow the engine to
reach optimum operating
temperature.
This results in a significant increase
in consumption levels (by 15–30% in
the urban cycle) and emissions.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption levels are
linked to situations with heavy
traffic, for instance when travelling in
queues with frequent use of the
lower gears or in cities with many
traffic lights. Winding mountain
roads and rough road surfaces also
adversely affect consumption.
Stopping in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups
(e.g. at level crossings) the engine
should be switched off.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the homologation tests set down by
specific European Directives. The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
– urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
– extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates using the vehicle out of town with frequent acceleration in all gears; the speed
varies from 0 to 120 km/h;
– combined consumption: this is calculated with a weighting of about 37% urban cycle consumption and about 63% extra-
urban consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general state of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, and other situations that affect how the car moves
through the air may lead to different fuel consumption levels than those measured.
