During regeneration, the following
may occur: a limited increase in the
engine speed, activation of the
fan, a limited increase in fumes and
high temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not
impair vehicle performance or
damage the environment.
If the dedicated message is
displayed, refer to paragraph
"Warning lights and messages".

SPEEDOMETER
This shows the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling.
REV COUNTER
The rev counter shows the engine
rpm.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off
the flow of fuel when the engine
is “over-revving” resulting in a
gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev
counter may indicate a gradual
or sudden increase of the speed.
This behaviour is standard as it
takes place during the activation of
the climate control system or the
fan. It should not be considered as a
fault. In such cases, a slight
increase in engine idle speed helps
to sustain the battery charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in
the fuel tank.
E tank empty.F tank full (see the instructions
provided in the “Vehicle refuelling”
paragraph).
The warning light on the gauge
comes on to indicate that
approximately 8-10 litres of fuel are
left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank
almost empty: any gaps in
fuel supply 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.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
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.The warning light on the gauge 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.
10)
IMPORTANT
10) If the needle for the engine
coolant temperature reaches the
red area, stop the engine
immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.

TRIP COMPUTER
IN BRIEF
The Trip computer is used to
display information on vehicle
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 "complete
mission" (journey) of the vehicle in
a reciprocally independent
manner. Both functions can be
reset (reset means start of a new
journey).
"Trip A" can be used to display the
values relating to:
❒External temperature
❒Range
❒Distance travelled A
❒Average consumption A
❒Instant consumption
❒Average speed A
❒Trip time A (driving time)
❒Reset Trip A
"Trip B", available on multifunction
display only, is used to display
the values relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time)
❒Trip B reset
11)
Values displayed
External temperature
Indicates the temperature outside
the vehicle passenger compartment.
Range (for versions/markets, where
provided)
This indicates the distance that can
still be travelled with the fuel in the
tank, assuming that driving style
remains unvaried. The display will
show the reading "----"when the
following events take place:
❒range is lower than 50 km (or
corresponding figure in mi)
❒vehicle is left parked with the engine
running for a long time
IMPORTANT The range can be
affected by several factors: driving
style (see paragraph “Driving style”
in the “Starting and driving” section),
type of route (motorway, towns
and cities, mountain roads, etc…),
usage conditions (load, tyre
pressures, etc…). Trip planning must
therefore take the above into
account.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance
travelled from the start of the new
journey.
Average consumption (for
versions/markets, where provided)
This value shows the approximate
average fuel consumption from
the start of the new journey.
Instant consumption (for versions/
markets where provided)
This value shows the fuel
consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The display will
show "----"ifthevehicle is parked
with the engine running.

EOBD SYSTEM
47)
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuous
diagnosis of emission-related
components on the vehicle to be
made. It also alerts the driver, by
turning on warning light
in the
instrument panel (together with the
relevant message in the display
on some versions), when these
components are no longer in peak
condition (see "Warning lights and
messages" section).
The goal of the system is to:
❒monitor the efficiency of the system;
❒indicate an increase in emissions
due to vehicle malfunction;
❒indicate the need to replace
components which have
deteriorated.
The system also has a connector
that can be interfaced with
appropriate equipment, which
makes it possible to read the error
codes stored in the control unit
together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and
diagnosis.This check can also be carried out
by traffic control authorities.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the
failure, to check the system
completely, Fiat Dealerships run a
bench test and, if necessary, road
tests which may also call for a
long journey.
WARNING
47) If, when the ignition key is turned
to MAR, the
warning light
does not switch on, switches on
constantly or flashes when driving
(on certain versions together
with the message on the display),
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible. The operation of
warning light may be checked
by the traffic police using specific
devices. Always comply with the
traffic regulations in force in the
country where you are driving.

panelWhat it means What to do
red
amber
amberEBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and(amber) warning lights (for
versions/markets, where provided), with the
engine on, indicates either a failure of the EBD
system or that the system is not available. In this
case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the
vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
The display shows the dedicated message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system inspected immediately.
redAIRBAG FAILURE
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light stays on constantly if there is a
fault in the airbag system.
On some versions, the display shows the
dedicated message.
