single chime will sound after reaching a set threshold.
Further overheating will cause the temperature gauge
to passH,a continuous chime will occur until the
engine is allowed to cool.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and
stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off.
Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the
vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to
normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for
service.
• Transmission Temperature Warning Light
(for versions/markets, where provided) This light indicates that the transmission fluid
temperature is running hot. This may occur
with severe usage, such as trailer towing. If
this light turns on, safely pull over and stop
the vehicle. Then, shift the transmission into NEU-
TRAL and run the engine at idle or faster until the light
turns off.
Continuous driving with the Transmission
Temperature Warning Light illuminated
will eventually cause severe transmission
damage or transmission failure.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle
when t

he Transmission Temperature
Warning Light is illuminated you could cause the
fluid to boil over, come in contact with hot engine
or exhaust components and cause a fire.
Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) — for
versions/markets, where provided
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system is enabled on
vehicles with a manual transmission, or when a vehicle
with an automatic transmission is in manual shift mode.
The GSI provides the driver with a visual indication
within the EVIC when the recommended gear shift point
has been reached. This indication notifies the driver that
changing gear will allow a reduction in fuel consumption.
When the shift up indicator (+) is shown on the display,
the GSI is advising the driver to engage a higher gear.
(fig. 10) (fig. 11)
When the shift down indicator (-) is shown on the
display, the GSI is advising the driver to engage a lower
gear.
(fig. 12) (fig. 13)
The GSI indicator in the EVIC remains illuminated until
the driver changes gear, or the driving conditions re-
turn to a situation where changing gear is not required
to improve fuel consumption.

OIL CHANGE DUE
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Oil Change Due” message will
flash in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds
after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change
indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent
upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
To turn off the message temporarily, press and release
the BACK button. To reset the oil change indicator
system please refer to a Fiat Dealership.
