EXIT MENU
TRIP COMPUTER
The Trip computer is used to display
information on car operation when the
key is turned to MAR.
This function is characterised by two
separate memories, called "Trip A" and
"Trip B", where the car's "complete
missions" (journeys) are recorded in a
reciprocally independent manner, as
well as, for versions where present,
"Instant info" and "Best average
consumption".
Both memories can be reset: i.e. start
of a new journey.
"Trip A" can be used to display the
values relating to:
Range (where present)
Distance travelled A
Average consumption A
Instantaneous fuel consumption
(where present)
Average speed A
Trip time A (driving time)
Reset Trip A.
“Trip B” may be used to display the
figures relating to:
Distance travelled B
Average consumption B
Average speed B
Trip time B (driving time)
Reset Trip B.
42
KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

The "Trip B" function may be disabled
(see "Activating Trip B"). "Range" and
"Instant consumption" values cannot be
reset.
“Instantaneous info" displays the
following values (where present, when
they are not displayed in the main
screen):
Autonomy
Instant consumption
“Best average consumption" displays a
screen summarising the best average
consumption (where present). This
information can be reset.
VALUES DISPLAYED
Range (where present)
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 value lower than 50 km (or 30
mi)
car parked with engine running for a
long period.IMPORTANT The range can be affected
by several factors: driving style (see
“Driving style” paragraph in the
“Starting and driving” chapter), type of
route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use
(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 fuel consumption
This value shows the approximate
average fuel consumption from the start
of the new journey.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
(where present)
This value shows the fuel consumption.
The value is constantly updated. The
display will show "----"ifthecar
is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the vehicle's average
speed based on the overall time
elapsed since the start of the new
journey.Journey time
Time elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
TRIP BUTTON
The TRIP button is located on the right
hand stalk fig. 48. With the ignition
key turned to MAR-ON, this button
allows you to view the previously
described parameters and also zero
them to begin a new mission:
brief pressto access the various
parameter displays;
long pressto reset and then start a

New mission
This begins after a reset:
“manual” resetting by the user, by
pressing the relevant button;
“automatic” resetting, when the “trip
distance” reaches 99999.9 km or
when the “trip time” reaches 999:59
(999 hours and 59 minutes);
after disconnection/reconnection of
the battery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when
“Trip A” or “Trip B” details are being
displayed resets the information
associated with the function displayed.
Start of journey
procedure
With the ignition key in the MAR-ON
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.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
REAR FOG LIGHT
The warning light switches on when the rear fog light is activated.
ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light comes on, on some versions along with a message on the display, when the system is
inefficient or not available. In this case the braking system maintains its efficiency unaltered but without the
advantage of the ABS system.
Drive carefully and contact an Abarth Dealership as soon as possible.
iTPMS
(where provided)
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches to indicate that the pressure of one or more tyres is lower than the
recommended value, in order to guarantee long tyre life and low fuel consumption, or to indicate a slow
loss of pressure.
In this way the iTPMS warns the driver that one or more tyres may be flat and probably punctured. In this
case it is advisable to restore the correct pressure value. Once the normal operating conditions of the
vehicle are restored, carry out the Tyre reset procedure.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds and then stays on constantly (along with a dedicated
message on the display) to indicate that the system is temporarily deactivated or faulty. The system goes
back to normal operation when the operating conditions allow it. If this is not the case, carry out the Tyre
reset procedure after restoring the normal operating conditions.
If the malfunction warning persists, contact an Abarth Dealership as soon as possible.
49

Symbol What it means
POSSIBLE ICE ON ROAD
A symbol is displayed when the outside temperature falls to or below 3°C.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.
PARKING SENSOR FAILURE
(where provided)
The symbol is shown on the display together with a dedicated message if there is a fault in the parking
sensors.
SERVICE (SCHEDULED SERVICING) EXPIRED
When the next scheduled service is approaching, the symbol appears on the display, followed by the
number of kilometres or miles left. This is displayed automatically, with ignition key at MAR, 2000 km (or
equivalent value in miles) before servicing or, for some markets, 30 days before servicing. It is also
displayed each time the key is turned to MAR or, for some markets, every 200 km (or equivalent value in
miles).
Go to an Abarth Dealership, where the "Scheduled Servicing Plan" operations will be performed and the
message will be reset.
ASR SYSTEM
On some versions, the display will the show symbol together with a dedicated message on the display,
when the ASR system is deactivated.
HILL HOLDER FAILURE
(where provided)
The display will show the symbol together with a dedicated message when there is a fault in the Hill Holder
system.
In this case, contact an Abarth Dealership as soon as possible.
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
The display will show the symbol and a dedicated message if the fuel cut-off system intervenes.
For the fuel cut-off system re-activation procedure, see the "Fuel cut-off system" paragraph, in the "In an
emergency" chapter.
53

Low tyre pressure
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the
warning light on the instrument
panel.
The display will show “KO” beside the
tyres fig. 51 along with a warning
message.
If the system does not recognise the
pressure value of one or more tyres, the
display will show dashes "– –"
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driving on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the Reset
procedure is carried out.
The Reset procedure must be carried
out:
whenever the tyre pressure is
modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is
fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the RESET is not carried out, in all
above cases, the
warning light may
give false indications on one or more
tyres.
To carry out the RESET procedure, with
the vehicle stopped and the ignition
key at MAR, use the setup menu (see
the description of the "Menu items"
paragraph).At the end of the Reset procedure the
display will show the “Reset saved”
message, indicating that the self-
learning has been started.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
66),67),68),69),70),71)
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the road
surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced
roads...) the signalling may be delayed
or partial in detecting the deflation of
one or more tyres.
Under special conditions (e.g. vehicle
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
damaged or worn tyre, fitting the
space-saver wheel, fitting snow chains,
fitting different tyres on the axles) the
system may give false indications or be
temporarily deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated
the
warning light flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a warning message.
This indication is displayed also after
the engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.

SAFETY

In the case of abnormal signals, it is
recommended to perform the RESET
procedure. If the signals reappear once
the RESET procedure has started,
check that the type of tyres used are
the same on all four wheels and that
the tyres are not damaged; if the
space-saver wheel is being used, refit
the wheel with a tire with normal
dimensions instead of the space-saver
wheel as soon as possible; if possible
remove the snow chains; make sure
that the load is distributed correctly and
repeat the RESET procedure, driving
on a clean and surfaced road. If the
signals persist, contact an Abarth
Dealership.
WARNING
66)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on one or more tyres, it is
recommended to always check the
pressure on all four tyres.
67)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not to
be considered a system to replace
maintenance or a safety system.68)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.
69)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden
tyre pressure drops (for example when
a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
70)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
71)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
