Range
Shows the approximate distance the vehicle can travel with
the amount of fuel left in the tank. The display will show
the reading “----” when the following events take place:
– range is lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
– vehicle is left parked with the engine running for a long
time.
WARNING The range can be affected by several factors:
driving style (see “Driving style” in the “Starting and dri-
ving” section), type of route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pres-
sures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the above
into account.
Distance travelled
Shows the distance covered since the start of the new jour-
ney.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption since
the start of the new journey.
Current consumption
Shows the constantly updated fuel consumption. The read-
ing “----” appears on the display if the vehicle is parked with
the engine running.
Average speed
Shows the average speed of the vehicle by using the over-
all time elapsed since the start of a new journey.TRIP COMPUTER
General information
The Trip computer is used to display information on ve-
hicle operation when the ignition key is turned to MAR.
This function allows you to define two separate trips, called
“Trip A” and “Trip B”, for monitoring the vehicle’s „com-
plete mission” (journey) in a reciprocally independent man-
ner. Both functions can be reset (reset – start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Instant consumption
– Average speed
– Travel time (driving time).
“Trip B”, available on multifunction display only, is used to
display the figures relating to:
– Distance travelled B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Travel time B (driving time).
N.B. “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instant consumption” parameters cannot be
reset.

tion. If warning light
ccomes on (with a message
on the display on some versions), go to a Fiat Deal-
ership as soon as possible to have the system bled.
Water may have entered the tank if this appears
immediately after refuelling: if this happens, switch
the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.
