SPEEDOMETER (SPEED
INDICATOR)
Shows the car speed (speedometer).
REV COUNTER
This indicates the engine rpm.
ANALOGUE PRESSURE
GAUGE
The car is equipped with a pressure
gauge for measuring the turbocharger
pressure by means of the analogue
indicator A fig. 72.
NoteThe turbocharger supercharging
pressure reading on the pressure gauge
should never exceed 1 – 1.2 bar even
in the case of sporty driving and
maximum performance.Sport mode display
If the SPORT function is used, the
display fig. 72 inside the turbocharger
pressure gauge will show the word
SPORT.
DIGITAL FUEL LEVEL
GAUGE
The digital gauge A fig. 73 indicates the
amount of fuel in the tank.
The warning light
switches on to
indicate that approximately 5 litres of
fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel delivery could
damage the catalytic converter.DIGITAL ENGINE
COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE
The digital gauge B fig. 73 indicates the
temperature of the engine coolant and
starts supplying indications when the
coolant temperature exceeds 50°C
approx.
The first reference, which is always on,
is blue and indicates a low temperature
of the engine coolant.
When the temperature increases the
reference becomes white and other
references come on as well.
If the references become red the
temperature of the engine coolant is too
high: in this case, see paragraph
"Warning lights and messages" in this
chapter.
The warning light
(for versions/
markets, where provided) (on a few
versions together with the displayed
message) on indicates an excessive
temperature increase of the coolant. In
this case, stop the engine and contact
an Abarth Dealership.
