TRIP COMPUTER
General features
The “Trip computer” is used to display in-
formation on car operation when the key
is turned to MAR. This function allows to
define two separate trips called “Trip A”
and “Trip B” for monitoring the car’s
“complete mission” in a reciprocally in-
dependent manner.
Both functions are resettable (reset - start
of new mission).
“Trip A” shall be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).“Trip B” shall be used to display the fig-
ures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
Note“Trip B” functions may be exclud-
ed (see “Trip B on”). “Range” and “In-
stantaneous consumption” cannot be re-
set.
Values displayed
Range
The distance that can be travelled with the
fuel in the tank is displayed, with the the-
ory that driving will continue in the same
conditions. The display will show the read-
ing “----” when the following events take
place:
– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– the car is parked with the engine run-
ning for a long time.IMPORTANT The range depends on sev-
eral factors: driving style (see “Driving
style” in “Starting and driving”), type of
route (motorway, urban cycle, mountain
roads, etc…), conditions of use of the car
(load, tyre pressure, etc…). Trip planning
must take into account the above notes.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission.
Average consumption
This value shows the approximate aver-
age consumption from the start of the
new mission.
Instant consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The val-
ue is constantly updated. The message
“----” will appear on the display if the car is
parked with the engine running.

tion key is on MAR.
The stalk has 5 different positions (4
speeds):
Awindscreen wiper off.
Bintermittent.
Ccontinuous slow.
Dcontinuous fast.
Etemporary fast (unstable position).
The temporary fast function lasts as long
as you manually keep the stalk in that po-
sition. When released, the stalk will return
to position Aand the wiper will be auto-
matically stopped.“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the wind-
screen washer jet.
Keep the stalk pulled to activate with a sin-
gle movement the windscreen washer jet
and the windscreen wiper; the latter au-
tomatically turns on if you keep the stalk
pulled for over half a second. The wind-
screen wiper stops operating a few
strokes after releasing the stalk; a further
“cleaning stroke”, after a few seconds,
completes the wiping operation. “FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE

space in front of the car for a preset pe-
riod of time.

moved, pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel within 2 minutes from when the en-
gine is turned off.
At each movement of the stalk, the stay-
ing on of the lights is extended by 30 sec-
onds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally.
Each time the stalk is operated, the warn-
ing light
3on the instrument panel
turns on and the display shows how long
the function remains active.
The warning light turns on the first time
the stalk is operated, and stays on until the
function is automatically deactivated. Each
time you operate the lever, only the per-
manence of lights increases.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.

wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wiper may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protec-
tion which prevents operation for a few
seconds may trip. If the issue persists,
contact the Abarth Dealership.
