ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 14
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid
and starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50 °C.
In normal usage, the needle should hover around the
middle of the scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
Warning light B may light up (and a message on the
multifunction display may appear on certain versions) to
indicate that the coolant fluid temperature is too high; in
this case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership. FUEL GAUGE fig. 13
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel
tank.
E vacuum tank;
F tank full (see “Refuelling”).
The warning light A coming on indicates that there are
about 10-12 litres of fuel (for versions with tank capacity
90-120 l) or 10 l (for versions with tank capacity 60 l)
remaining in the tank. Do not travel with the fuel tank
almost empty: any gaps in fuel delivery could damage the
catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and warning
light A will flash to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.
IMPORTANT It is not advisable to start the additional
heater (Webasto) when fuel is on reserve.

If the needle reaches the red area, stop
the engine immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.The symbols are gradually turned off as the oil level
drops.
Four or five symbols light up to indicate a sufficient level
of oil in the sump. If the fifth symbol is not lit, this does
not indicate a fault or that insufficient oil is present in
the sump.
If the oil level is lower than the minimum required value,
the display shows a dedicated message indicating
minimum engine oil level and the need for a top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct oil quantity,
always check using the dipstick (see paragraph
“Checking levels” in the section “Maintenance and
care”).
After a few seconds, the symbol display indicating the
amount of engine oil disappears and:
❒when the next scheduled servicing is near, the time
to the next service is displayed and the warning light
õlights up on the instrument panel. When the
service date is reached, the display shows
a dedicated message;
❒then, if it is nearly time to change the engine oil, the
time to the next oil change is shown on the top row
of the display. When the service interval has expired
a dedicated warning will be shown on the display. ENGINE OIL LEVEL GAUGE
(for versions/markets where provided)
The gauge provides a graphic indication of the level of
oil in the engine.
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON the display
shows the oil level on the first row by turning five
symbols on/off.

be presented automatically every 200 km (or 124 mi).
Oil change notification messages are displayed in the
same way. Use keys
▲and ▼to display service and oil
change due dates alternately. Below 200 km servicing
indications are more frequent. The display will be in
kilometres or miles depending on the measurement unit
settings. When the next scheduled service is
approaching, the message “Service” will appear on the
display followed by the number of kilometres or miles
left when the key is turned to
MAR-ON. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to carry out any service operation in the
“Scheduled servicing plan” and to reset the display.
NOTE When the oil change is near to come, turning
the ignition key to MAR-ON the display will show a
dedicated message. Engine performance will decrease
still driving in these conditions. When the oil change is
due, the dedicated message is displayed again and the

Range (for versions/markets where provided)
It indicates the distance that can still be travelled based
on the fuel in the tank assuming that driving conditions
will not change. The message “---” will appear on the
display in the following cases:
– range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)

Instant consumption (for versions/markets where provided)
This indicates instant fuel consumption and it is
constantly updated. The message “---” will appear on
the display if the vehicle is parked with the engine

Average speed
Represents the average vehicle speed as a function of
the overall time elapsed since the start of a new mission.TRIP COMPUTER
General information
The “Trip computer” is used to display information on
vehicle operation when the key is turned to
MAR-ON.
This function allows you to define two separate trips,
called “Trip A” and “Trip B”, for monitoring the
vehicle’s “complete mission” (journey) in a reciprocally
independent manner. Both functions can be reset (reset
means start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Outside temperature
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used
to display the figures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
NOTE “Trip B” function can be excluded (see paragraph
“Trip B on”). “Range” and “Instant consumption”
parameters cannot be reset.

IMPORTANT With the compressor off, it is not
possible to introduce air into the passenger
compartment at a temperature lower than that of the
outside air. In certain weather conditions, the windows
could mist up rapidly due to the non-dehumidified air.
The system remembers that the compressor has been
switched off, even after the engine has stopped.
To restore automatic compressor activation control,
press the √button again (in this case, the system will
work only as a heater) or press the AUTO button.
With the compressor switched off, if the outside
temperature is higher than the one set, the system is
not capable of satisfying this request. This is signalled by
the target temperature flashing, after which the word
AUTO goes out.
With the climate control compressor off, the fan speed
can be set to zero manually (no bar shown).
With the compressor enabled and the engine started,
the fan speed may be reduced to the minimum setting
(only one bar shown).
Button for rapid window demisting/
defrosting (D)
When this button is pressed, the climate
control automatically activates all the
functions necessary to speed up the
demising/defrosting of the windscreen
and the side windows:❒turns on the climate control compressor when
weather conditions are suitable;
❒air recirculation switching-off;
❒sets the maximum temperature for the HI air in both
zones;
❒sets the fan speed set according to the engine
coolant temperature to limit the flow of air that is
insufficiently warm to demist the windows;
❒directs the air flow to the windscreen and front side
windows vents;
❒switches on the heated rear window.
IMPORTANT The rapid demisting/defrosting function
for the windows remains on for about 3 minutes from
when the engine coolant reaches the appropriate
temperature for a rapid demisting of the windows.
When this function is active, the LED on the
corresponding button and the one on the heated rear
window button switch on. The message FULL AUTO
goes off on the display.
You can only adjust the fan speed and switch off the
heated rear windscreen manually when this function is
active.
To restore the operating conditions, prior to activation,
simply press button B, air recirculation button G, the
compressor button F or the
AUTO button A.
