Reset Trip B.
The "Trip B" function can be disabled
(see the "Menu items" paragraph).
"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):
Range
Instantaneous consumption
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 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.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
(where present)
This value shows the fuel consumption.
The value is constantly updated. The
message "----"will appear on the
display if the car is parked with the
engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the car'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. 50. 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.

In the case of abnormal signals, it is
recommended to perform the RESET
procedure. If the warnings reappear
once the RESET procedure has started,
check that the same type of tyre is
used on all four wheels and that the
tyres are not damaged; if the
space-saver spare wheel is being used,
refit a wheel with a tyre of normal
dimensions in place 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
warning persist, contact an Abarth
Dealership.
WARNING
67)If the system signals a pressure drop
on one or more tyres, it is recommended
to always check the pressure on all tyres.
68)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.
69)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.70)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.
71)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
72)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
equipment of the car comprise the
following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
Front airbags and side bags (where
present).
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see the "Head restraints"
paragraph in the "Knowing your car"
chapter.

Before proceeding with refuelling,
check the symbols inside the fuel filler
flap (where provided) and compare
them with the symbols shown on the
fuel pump (where provided).
Symbols for petrol powered cars
E5:Unleaded petrol containing up to
2.7% (m/m) oxygen and with maximum
5.0% (V/V) ethanol compliant with

E10:Unleaded petrol containing up to
3.7% (m/m) oxygen and with maximum
10.0% (V/V) ethanol compliant with

WARNING
115)Do not approach naked flames or lit
cigarettes to the fuel tank filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.

FUEL CONSUMPTION AND CO2EMISSIONS
The fuel consumption and CO2emission figures declared by the manufacturer are determined on the basis of the type-approval
tests laid down by the applicable standards in the country where the vehicle is registered.
The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim level/equipment/
accessories, use of the climate control system, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that adversely affect the
aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption values than those measured. The fuel consumption will only
become more regular after driving the first 3000 km.
To find the specific fuel consumption and CO
2emission figures for this car, please refer to the data in the Certificate of
Conformity, and the related documentation that accompanies the vehicle.
