SPEEDOMETER
(speed indicator)
Indicator A shows the speed of the
car.
REV COUNTER
Indicator C shows the engine revs.
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 is normal and does not
indicate a fault. It may be caused,
for example, by the activation of the
climate control system or fan. In
these cases, a slow change in revs
is used to protect the battery
charge.FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
Needle E shows the amount of fuel
left in the tank.
E - tank empty.
F - tank full (see the description in
paragraph "Vehicle refuelling" in this
chapter).
The warning light on the indicator
switches on when there are about
10-12 litres of fuel (for versions with
tank capacity 90-120 l) or 10 l (for
versions with tank capacity 60 l)
remaining in the tank.
Do not travel with the tank nearly
empty to prevent damaging the
catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle will point
to E and the warning light will
flash to indicate a fault in the
system. If this is the case, go to a
Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
IMPORTANT It is not advisable to
activate the additional Webasto
heater in reserve conditions.ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
The needle D shows the
temperature of the engine coolant
and starts supplying indications
when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50°C. In normal use, the
needle could assume different
positions within the scale,
depending on the usage
conditions.
C - Low engine coolant
temperature.
H - High engine coolant
temperature.
The warning light on the indicator
may light up (and a message on the
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.
