In RACE mode, the consumption
indication index is not active and a sports
gearshift indicator is displayed. The
sports gearshift indicator is represented
by three yellow segments; if the third
indicator, characterized by the word
"SHIFT,” is on, it means that the gear

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

The screen graphically reproduces some
parameters closely linked to the
efficiency of the driving style, with a view
to limiting consumption.
Advanced Efficiency
The three central icons on the screen
indicate the effectiveness of the driving
style, linked to the following parameters:
acceleration, deceleration and gear
shifts, with a view to limiting
consumption. The bar below the icons
shows current consumption and the
green line represents the optimal area.
The globe lights up gradually according to
lower consumption.
Dynamic The displayed parameters are related to
vehicle stability, the graphs illustrate the
trend of the longitudinal/lateral
accelerations (G-meter information),
considering gravity acceleration as a
reference unit.
Lateral acceleration peaks are also
indicated.
RACEThe displayed parameters are related to
vehicle stability, the graphs illustrate the
trend of the longitudinal/lateral
accelerations (G-meter information),
considering gravity acceleration as a
reference unit.
Lateral acceleration peaks are also
indicated.

Vehicle Range
Indicates the miles left before the fuel
tank is empty.
Displays the position by indicating the
cardinal direction.
8. Failure Warning Lights
Area dedicated to displaying failures, the
following symbols could be displayed on
rotation:
Low criticality symbols (yellow amber)
High criticality symbols (red)
9. Odometer
Indicates the total miles traveled.
U.S. Federal regulations require that
upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the
seller certify to the purchaser the correct
mileage that the vehicle has been driven.
If your odometer needs to be repaired or
serviced, the repair technician should
leave the odometer reading the same as
it was before the repair or service. If s/he
cannot do so, then the odometer must be
set at zero, and a sticker must be placed

WARNING LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES ON THE
INSTRUMENT PANEL
The following pages consist of warning
lights and messages.
Note:
The warning light turns on together
with a dedicated message and/or chime
when applicable. These indications are
precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or
alternative to the information contained
in the Owner’s Manual, which you are
advised to read carefully in all cases.
Always refer to the information in this
section in the event of a failure
indication.
The failure indicators appearing on
the display are divided into two
categories: very serious and less serious
faults. Serious faults are indicated by a
repeated and prolonged warning "cycle.”
Less serious faults are indicated by a
warning "cycle" with a shorter duration.
You can stop the warning cycle in both
cases by pushing the button located on
the windshield wiper stalk. The
instrument panel warning light will stay
on until the cause of the failure is
eliminated.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT
This light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb
check when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
If the light is either not on during startup, stays on, or
turns on while driving, have the system inspected at an
authorized dealer as soon as possible. This light will
illuminate with a single chime when a fault with the Air
Bag Warning Light has been detected, it will stay on until
the fault is cleared. If the light comes on intermittently or
remains on while driving, have an authorized dealer
service the vehicle immediately.If the problem persists, contact an authorized dealer.
SEAT BELT REMINDER WARNING LIGHT
When the ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN position,
if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound
and the light will turn on. When driving, if the driver or
front passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will flash or remain on continuously
and a chime will sound. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in
“Safety” for further information.
Always wear your seat belt when operating the vehicle.
OIL TEMPERATURE WARNING LIGHT
This telltale indicates engine oil temperature is high.
Stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as
possible. If the problem persists, contact an authorized
dealer.
Warning!
The fault of the warning light is signaled by the turning on of the icon on the instrument panel. In this case, the warning light may not indicate any
faults with the restraint systems. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked immediately.
If the warning light does not turn on when the ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on the
display), there might be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the air bags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or, in a
lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked immediately.
