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.
89
Average speed
This value shows the vehicle's
average speed based on the overall
time elapsed since the start of the
new journey.
Trip time
Time elapsed since the start of the
new journey.
IMPORTANT If there is no
information, the Trip computer
displays "----" in place of the value.
When normal operating conditions
are restored, the counting of the
various values is resumed, without
either zeroing the values displayed
prior to the problem, or starting a
new mission.
TRIP control button
The TRIP button is located at the
end of the right stalk fig. 117. With
the ignition key turned to MAR,
this button allows you to view the
previously described values and also
zero them to begin a new journey:
❒brief press to access the various
values displays;❒long press to reset and then start a
new mission.
New mission
This begins after a reset:
❒"manual" resetting by the user, by
pressing the relevant button;
❒“automatic” resetting, when the
distance travelled reaches 3,999.9
km or 9,999.9 km (depending on the
type of display) or when the travel
time reaches 99.59 (99 hours and 59
minutes);
❒after disconnection/reconnection of
the battery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation
when “Trip A” details are being
displayed only resets the information
associated with this function.IMPORTANT The reset operation
when “Trip B” details are being
displayed resets only the information
associated with this function.
Start of journey procedure
With the ignition key in the MAR
position, reset by pressing the TRIP
button and keeping it pressed for
more than 2 seconds.
Exit Trip
You can automatically exit the TRIP
function once all the values have
been displayed or by holding the
MENU
button (*) down for more
than 1 second.
(*) For versions/markets where
provided.
IMPORTANT
11) The “Trip B” function may be
disabled (see paragraph
“Activating Trip B”). "Range" and
"Instantaneous fuel consumption"
parameters cannot be reset.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
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.
91
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on together with (where the instrument panel permits) a specific message and/or acoustic
signal. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases.
Always refer to the information in this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: serious and less serious failures. Serious
faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning
"cycle" with a shorter duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel
warning light will stay on until the cause of the malfunction is eliminated.
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
The warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light switches on when the brake
fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit.Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light turns on when travelling (on
certain versions together with the message on the
display) stop the vehicle immediately and contact
a Fiat Dealership.
Handbrake engaged
The warning light switches on when the
handbrake is engaged.Release the handbrake, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
