SPEEDOMETER
This shows the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling.
REV COUNTER
The rev counter shows the engine rpm.
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 behaviour is standard as it takes
place during the activation of the
climate control system or the fan. It
should not be considered as a fault. In
such cases, a slight increase in engine
idle speed helps to sustain the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full (see the instructions provided
in the “Vehicle refuelling” paragraph).
The warning light on the gauge comes
on to indicate that approximately 8-10
litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: any gaps in fuel supply could
damage the catalytic converter.IMPORTANT The needle will point to E
and warning light A will flash to indicate
a fault in the system. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR
This shows the temperature of the
engine coolant fluid and starts working
when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50°C.
In normal usage, the needle should
hover around the middle of the scale.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
The warning light on the gauge may
light up (and a message on the
multifunction 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.
10)
WARNING
10)If the needle for the engine coolant
temperature reaches the red area, stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
DIGITAL DISPLAY
STANDARD SCREEN
The standard screen fig. 117 shows the
following information:
AHeadlamp alignment position (only
with dipped headlamps on).
BMilometer (distance covered in km or
miles).
CTime (always displayed, even with the
key extracted and the front doors
closed).
DStart&Stop function indication (for
versions/markets, where provided).
EGear Shift Indication (for versions/
markets, where provided).
NoteWith key removed (when opening
at least one of the front doors) the
display turns on and shows the time
and distance covered for a few
seconds.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Journey 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, located on the top of
the right steering column stalk fig.
121, is used (with ignition at MAR) to
display these values and reset them to
start 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 “trip
distance” reaches 9999.9 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” details are being displayed
only resets the information associated
with this function. "Range" and
"Instantaneous fuel consumption"
information can not be reset.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when
“Trip B” details are being displayed
resets only the information associated
with this function. "Range" and
"Instantaneous fuel consumption"
information can not be reset.
Start of journey procedure
With the ignition key at MAR, reset by
holding the TRIP 0.00 button down
for more than 2 seconds.Exit Trip
You can automatically exit the TRIP
function once all the values have been
displayed or by holding theMENU
button (*) down for more than 1
second.
(*) For versions/markets, where
provided.
WARNING
11)The "Trip B" function may be disabled
(see the "Activating Trip B" paragraph).

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW BATTERY CHARGE
The warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off as
soon as the engine has started (with the engine
idling a brief delay before switching off is
acceptable).If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

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.
WARNING
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
95)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.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between
the front seats. Pull the lever upwards
to engage the handbrake and ensure
that the vehicle does not move. The
vehicle should be secured after several
clicks of the lever. If it is not, contact
a Fiat Dealership to have it adjusted.
96)When the handbrake lever is engaged
and the ignition key is in MAR position,
the instrument panel warning light
will switch on.
Proceed as follows to release the
handbrake:
slightly lift the lever and press
release button A fig. 145;
keep button A pressed and lower
the lever. The
warning light in the
instrument panel will switch off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying
out this operation to prevent the vehicle
from moving accidentally.
PARKING
Proceed as follows:
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
engage the gear (on a slope, engage
first gear if the vehicle is facing uphill
or reverse if it is facing downhill) and
leave the wheels steered.
129

If the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, it is advisable to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone.
To prevent draining the battery, do not
leave the ignition key turned to MAR.
Always remove the key when you leave
the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle. Always remove the ignition
key when leaving the vehicle, and take
it with you.
WARNING
96)The vehicle should be secured after
several clicks of the lever. If it is not,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have it
adjusted.
USING THE
GEARBOX
To engage the gears, depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the gear
lever A-fig. 127 into the required
position (the diagram is shown on the
gear knob fig. 146).
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be
engaged when the vehicle is at a
standstill. With the engine running, wait
for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift
ring B under the knob and at the same
time move the gear lever to the right
and then backwards (as shown in the
diagram).
97)
21)
WARNING
97)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. Therefore, the floor
area underneath the pedal unit must not
be obstructed in any way. Ensure that the
floor mat is always laid flat and does not
interfere with use of the pedals.
WARNING
21)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even
if slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the internal gearbox components.
The clutch pedal should be used only
for gear changes. Do not drive with your
foot resting on the clutch pedal, however
lightly. For versions/markets where
provided, the electronic clutch control
could cut in by interpreting the incorrect
driving style as a fault.
