TRIP COMPUTERGeneral information
The Trip computer is used to display information on
car operation when the key is turned to MAR-ON.
Two separate trips, called “Trip A” and “Trip B”,
are provided to monitor the entire mission (journey)
in a reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset - start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Outside temperature (for versions/markets where
provided)
❒Range
❒Distance covered
❒Average consumption
❒Instantaneous consumption
❒Average speed
❒Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time).
NoteThe “Trip B” function may be disabled (see
“Activating Trip B”). The “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be reset.Values displayed
Range
This indicates the approximate distance which can be
travelled with the amount of fuel present in the
tank.“----”will appear on the display in the
following cases:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒car parked with engine running for an extended
period.
IMPORTANT The range value variation can be
affected by several factors: driving style, type of route
(motorway, urban, mountain roads, etc.), conditions
of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning
must therefore take the above into account.
Distance covered
Shows the distance covered since the start of the
new journey.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption
since the start of the new journey.
Instantaneous consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The display will show “----”if
the car is parked with the engine running.

This begins after a reset:
❒“manual” resetting by the user, by pressing the
relevant button;
❒“automatic” resetting, when the “Trip distance”
reaches 99999.9 km or when the “Travel time”
reaches 999:59 (999 hours and 59 minutes);
❒after disconnection/reconnection of the battery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when “Trip A” or
“Trip B” details are being displayed only resets the
values associated with the function displayed.

SYMBOLSSome car components have coloured labels whose
symbols indicate precautions to be observed when
using this component. Under the bonnet there is
also a label that summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE SYSTEMTo further protect your car from theft, it has been
fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is
automatically activated when the ignition key is
removed.
Each key contains an electronic device which
modulates the signal emitted during ignition by an
antenna built into the ignition device. The signal
is the "password", different every time the car is
started, through which the control unit recognises
the key and enables starting.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started turning the ignition
key to MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system control unit
sends an acknowledgement code to the engine
control unit to deactivate the immobiliser. The code
is sent only if the Fiat CODE system control unit
has acknowledged the code received from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the Fiat
CODE system deactivates the functions of the
engine management control unit. If, during starting,
the code is not correctly recognised, the
warning
light switches on in the instrument panel. In this
case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR-ON; if
it is still locked, try again with the other keys that
come with the vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership
if you still cannot start the engine.

control is not turned on. It is advisable to switch the
internal air recirculation on whilst queuing or in
tunnels, or whilst driving on dusty roads, to prevent
the introduction of polluted air. Do not use the
function for a long time, particularly if there are
several passengers on board, to prevent the windows
from misting up.
