Values displayed
Outside temperature
Indicates the temperature outside the vehicle passenger
compartment.
Range
This indicates the approximate distance that may be
travelled with the fuel remaining in the tank, assuming
that driving conditions do not change. 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.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered from the start of
the new journey.
Average consumption
This value shows the approximate average fuel
consumption from the start of the new journey.
Current consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The display will show “----” if the
car is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the car’s average speed as a function
of the overall time elapsed since the start of the new
mission.TRIP COMPUTER
General information
The Trip computer is used to display information on car
operation when the key is turned to MAR. This function
is made up of two separate trips called “Trip A” and
“Trip B” which can monitor the car’s “complete mission”
independently of each other. Both functions can be
zeroed
(reset - start of a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
– Outside temperature
– Range
– Trip distance
– Average consumption
– Current consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time).
Trip B allows the display of the following parameters:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
N.B. “Trip B” may be disabled (see “Activating Trip B”).
“Range” and “Instantaneous consumption” cannot be
reset.

New mission
This begins after a reset:
– “manual” resetting by the user, by pressing the
relevant button;
– “automatic” resetting, when the distance travelled
reaches 99,999.9 km or when the journey time reaches
99.59 (99 hours and 59 minutes);
– disconnection/reconnection of the battery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when “Trip A”
details are being displayed resets the information
associated with this function only.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when “Trip B”
details are being displayed resets the information
associated with this function only.
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
To exit from the Trip function: keep MENU ESC
pressed for over 2 seconds. Trip time
Time elapsed since the start of the new journey.
IMPORTANT In the absence of information, Trip
Computer values are displayed with “----”. When
normal operating condition is restored, calculation of
different units will restart regularly. No values displayed
before the failure will be reset nor will a new mission
be started.
TRIP control button fig. 19

❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least one second,
then release it. The car speed is now memorised and
you can therefore release the accelerator pedal.If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can
accelerate simply by pressing the accelerator pedal;
when you release the pedal, the car will return to the
speed memorised previously.
RESTORING THE MEMORISED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by
depressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised
speed can be restored as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a speed
approaching the memorised speed;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of speed
memorisation;
❒press button RES B-fig. 39.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronically controlled device which allows
the vehicle to be driven at a chosen speed above 30
km/h on long stretches of dry, straight roads with few
variations (e.g. motorways), without having to depress
the accelerator pedal. It is therefore not recommended
to use this device on extra-urban roads with traffic. Do
not use it in town.
TURING THE DEVICE ON
Turn twist switch A-fig. 39 to ON.
The cruise control cannot be engaged in 1st or reverse
gear. It is advisable to engage it in 4th gear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device engaged, the
vehicle speed may slightly exceed the preset one.
When the device is activated the warning light
Ücomes
on together with the relevant message on the
instrument panel.
SETTING VEHICLE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn twist switch A-fig. 39 to ON and press the
accelerator pedal until you reach the required speed;

INCREASING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and then memorising the
new speed reached;
or
❒moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the lever will correspond to a slight
increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the
lever upwards will increase the speed continuously.
REDUCING THE MEMORISED SPEED
This can be done in two ways:
❒by turning the device off and then storing a new
speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (–) until reaching the
new speed which will be memorised automatically.
Each movement of the lever will correspond to a slight
reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the
lever held downwards will decrease the speed
continuously.
TURNING THE DEVICE OFF
The device can be switched off by the driver in the
following ways:
❒turning twist switch A to OFF;
❒switching off the engine;
❒pressing the brake pedal;❒pressing the clutch pedal;
❒pressing the accelerator pedal; in this case, the
system is not really switched off but the request for
acceleration takes priority. The cruise control is,
however, active and you do not need to press
button RES B-fig. 39 to restore the previous
conditions when you have finished accelerating.
The device is automatically switched off in the following
cases:
❒if the ABS or ESP systems cut in;
❒if the car speed drops below the preset limit;
❒if there is a system failure.
While travelling with the device engaged, do
not put the gear lever into neutral.
WARNING
In the event of malfunction or if the device
fails, turn twist switch A to OFF and contact an
Abarth Dealership.

CD CHANGER CAPABILITY
(for versions/markets where provided)
The system consists of:
❒power cables;
❒connection cables.
For connection to the preset cables,
contact an Abarth Dealership to prevent
any problem that could impair car safety.
WARNING
When the SHIFT UP icon (NSHIFT) is shown on the
display, the “e-GSI” system is advising the driver to
select a higher gear, while the SHIFT DOWN
(
OSHIFT) icon suggests that a lower gear should be
engaged.
Note The “e-GSI” system intervenes only when the
“Normal” driving mode is activated (see the “Manettino
Abarth car dynamic control system (DSS – Driving
Sport Switch)” paragraph in this section).

TYRE PRESSURE CHECK

TYRE PRESSURE LOW (amber)
TYRE PRESSURE UNSUITABLE FOR
SPEED
(amber)
(for versions/markets where provided)
Check tyre pressures
The symbol is shown on the display to indicate the flat
tyre. Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will
show the indications corresponding to each tyre in
sequence.
Restore correct tyre pressures as soon as possible (see
“Cold tyre pressures” in the “Technical specifications”
section).
Tyre pressure low
The symbol is shown on the display if the pressure of
one or more tyres drops below the preset level. In this
way the TPMS system warns the driver that one or
more tyres may be dangerously flat and liable to
puncture.
n
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the car, avoiding harsh braking or steering manoeuvres.
Repair using the dedicated kit (see the “Automatic
Fix&Go quick tyre repair kit” paragraph in the “In an
emergency” section) and contact an Abarth Dealership
as soon as possible.
Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
Should travelling at a higher speed than 160 km/h be
required, inflate tyres to pressures values specified in
paragraph “Inflation pressures”.
If the TPMS system (where provided) detects that the
pressure of one or more tyres is unsuitable for the
current speed, the symbol will be shown on the display
together with the dedicated message (see paragraph
“Low tyre pressure” in this section) and it will stay on
until the car speed returns within the preset threshold.
IMPORTANT In this case, slow down immediately
because tyre overheating could compromise tyre
performance and durability beyond repair, and may even
make the tyre explode.
