2015 FIAT BRAVO fuel pressure

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:
❒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).
Note The “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.

WARNING
Depress the clutch pedal fully to change
gear correctly. It is therefore essential
that there is nothing under the pedals: make
sure the mats are lying flat and do not get
in the way of the pedals.
Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight , could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.
SAVING FUELSome useful tips are given below for fuel saving and
reducing harmful emissions of CO
2and other
pollutants [nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons,
Particulate Matter (PM) etc.].
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once every four
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels
increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the car (especially when driving in town) and
its ride greatly affects consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption levels.
When transporting particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.

INCOMPLETE DOOR LOCKING
(red)
The warning light switches on when one or more
doors are not completely shut. An acoustic signal is
activated with the doors open and the car moving.GENERIC FAILURE INDICATION
(amber)
Fuel cut-off inertia switch tripped
The warning light comes on when the inertial fuel
cut-off switch is triggered. The display shows the
dedicated message.
Engine oil pressure sensor failure
The warning light comes on when the engine oil
pressure sensor is faulty.
Dusk sensor failure
This warning light comes on when a dusk sensor
fault is detected. The display shows the dedicated
message.
Preset speed limit exceeded
(for Arab countries only)
The warning light switches on when the vehicle
speed exceeds 120 km/h. Rain sensor failure
The warning light switches on when a rain sensor
fault is detected. The display shows the dedicated
message.
Parking sensor failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light turns on when failure is detected in
the parking sensors.
Tyre pressure monitoring system failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light turns on when a failure is detected
in the TPMS (for versions/markets where provided).
Should one or more wheels without a sensor be
fitted, the instrument panel warning light will come
on and stay on until the initial conditions are
restored. The display shows the dedicated message.
Note
If one of the above mentioned failures occurs,
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be compromised.
Stop the car, avoiding harsh braking and steering
manoeuvres. Replace the wheel immediately with the
space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided) or carry out a repair using the dedicated
kit (see “Changing a wheel” in the "In an emergency"
chapter) and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Check tyre pressure
This warning light switches on in the instrument
panel to indicate that the tyre pressure is below the
value recommended to guarantee long tyre life
and low fuel consumption. It may also indicate a slow
loss of pressure.
Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will
show the indications corresponding to each tyre in
sequence.
Restore correct tyre pressures as soon as possible
(see “Cold tyre pressures” in the “Technical
specifications” chapter).Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
Should you need to travel at a speed higher than 160
km/h, inflate the tyres to the pressures specified in
“Tyre pressures” paragraph.
If the TPMS system (for versions/markets where
provided) detects that the pressure of one or more
tyres is unsuitable for the current speed, the warning
light will turn on (together with the message on
the display) (see “Tyre pressure low” in this chapter)
and it will stay on until the car slows down to a
speed below the preset threshold.
IMPORTANT In this case slow down immediately
since tyre overheating could impair tyre performance
and life beyond repair, and even make the tyre to
blow-out.
WARNING
Particularly strong radio frequency
interference may cause the TPMS to
function incorrectly.This condition is indicated
to the driver by a message (for versions/markets
where provided).The message will disappear
automatically as soon as the interference ceases
to affect the system.
