KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
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.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberINJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned to
MAR the warning light switches on, but it should switch
off as soon as the engine is started.
The operation of
warning light may be checked by
the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the
laws and regulations of the country where you are
driving.13)
If the warning light stays on or switches on when driving,
it means that the injection system is not working
properly; in particular, if the warning light comes on
constantly, this indicates a malfunction in the supply/
ignition system that could cause excessive exhaust
emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor
driveability and high fuel consumption.
On some versions, the display shows the dedicated
message.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction
disappears, but it is still stored by the system.Under these conditions, you may continue
travelling at a moderate speed without
demanding excessive effort from the
engine. Prolonged use of the vehicle with
the warning light on constantly may cause
damage.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
NOTE (for petrol engine only)
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic
converter may be damaged.In this case, it is necessary to release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of
the engine until the warning light stops
flashing. Continue the journey at moderate
speed, trying to avoid driving conditions
that may cause further flashing and
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
WARMING UP THE
ENGINE JUST AFTER IT
HAS STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine turn
at medium revs. Do not accelerate
abruptly;
❒do not demand full performance at
first. Wait until the engine coolant
temperature gauge starts moving.
EMERGENCY
STARTING
If the instrument panel warning light
stays on steadily, you can
perform an emergency starting by
using the code on the CODE card
(see the “In an emergency” section).
20)
STOPPING THE
ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while
the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive,
you should allow the engine to
“catch its breath” before turning it off
by letting it idle to allow the
temperature in the engine
compartment to fall.
IMPORTANT
17) It is advisable not to demand
maximum performance from
your vehicle (e.g. excessive
acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessively intense
braking, etc.) during the initial
period of use.
18) When the engine is off, do not
leave the key turned to MAR to
prevent unnecessary electrical
consumption from draining the
battery.
19) If the indicator flashes for 60
seconds after starting or
during an extended towing period,
this indicates a problem in the
glow plug preheating system.
Use the vehicle normally if the
engine starts, but contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
20) Never start the engine by
pushing, towing or driving
downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter
and damage it beyond repair.
WARNING
78) It is dangerous to run the engine
in enclosed areas. The engine
takes in oxygen and releases
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
and other toxic gases.
137
START&STOP
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop device
automatically stops the engine
each time the vehicle is stationary
and starts it again when the driver
wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the
vehicle by reducing fuel
consumption, the emission of
harmful gases and noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Engine stopping mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
With the vehicle stationary, the
engine stops with the gearbox in
neutral and the clutch pedal
released.WITH ROBOTIZED GEARBOX
The engine cuts out if the vehicle
stops with the brake pedal pressed.
This condition can be maintained
even if the brake pedal is not
depressed, if the gear lever is in
position N.
NOTE: The engine can only be
stopped automatically after a speed
of about 10 km/h is reached, to
prevent the engine from being
repeatedly stopped when driving at
walking pace.
The engine being stopped is
signalled by the fig. 140 icon on the
display, depending on the trim
level.Engine restarting
mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Depress the clutch pedal to restart
the engine.
WITH ROBOTIZED GEARBOX
If the gear lever is in position N,
place it in any other gear, otherwise
release the brake pedal or move
the gear lever to (+), (–) or R.
MANUAL ACTIVATION
AND DEACTIVATION
The device can be activated/
deactivated via button A fig. 141
located to the side of the
handbrake.
The deactivation is signalled when
the LED on the button switches on.
In addition, on the versions where
provided, additional information
concerning the deactivation or
activation of the Start&Stop is given
through a message in the display.

STARTING AND DRIVING
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through
the Start&Stop system, if the driver
unfastens his/her seat belt and
opens the driver's door or the
passenger door, the engine can be
restarted only by using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition
by a buzzer, through the fig. 140
warning light flashing in the
instrument panel and, where
provided, by a message in the
display.
"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
If, after the engine has been
automatically restarted, the driver
does not take any action for a
period of about 3 minutes,
the Start&Stop system will
definitively stop the engine to avoid
fuel consumption.
The engine can only be started
using the key in such cases. N.B.: In
any case, it is possible to keep the
engine running by deactivating
the Start&Stop system.IRREGULAR
OPERATION
In the case of malfunctions the
Start&Stop system is disabled.
The driver is informed of the
problem by the general failure
warning light A fig. 142, where
provided, coming on with an
information message and the
system failure symbol B fig. 142 in
the control panel. In this case,
contact a Fiat Dealership.VEHICLE INACTIVITY
Versions with dummy
pole fig. 143
If the vehicle is inactive, special care
must be taken to disconnect the
battery electrical power supply. This
procedure must be carried out by
disconnecting the rapid-release
negative terminal A from the
negative dummy pole B because
there is a battery status monitoring
sensor D on the negative battery
terminal C which must never be
disconnected, except if the battery
is replaced.
