6)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance and safety,
invalidate the warranty and also result in
non-compliance of the car with type-
approval requirements.FIAT CODE SYSTEM
The Fiat Code system prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
OPERATION
Each time the vehicle is started by
turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat
CODE system control unit sends a
recognition code to the Powertrain
Control Module to deactivate the
immobiliser.
The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has recognised
the code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon
appears on the display.
In this case, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR-ON; if it is still locked,
try again with the other keys that come
with the car. Contact an Abarth
Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.IMPORTANT Each key has its own
code which must be stored by the
system's control unit. Contact an
Abarth Dealership to have new keys (up
to 8) stored with a code.
If the
symbol appears, along with a
dedicated message, this means that
the system is running a self-diagnosis
(for example for a voltage drop). If
the
symbols remains on, contact an
Abarth Dealership.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a special indication on the
display.
Through the GSI, the driver is informed
that the gear change will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT (SHIFT UP) icon
is
shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a higher
gear, while the SHIFT (SHIFT DOWN)
icon
advises the driver to engage
a lower gear.
The indication on the instrument panel
remains until the driver shifts gear or the
driving conditions return to a situation
where gearshifting is not required to
improve consumption.
ANALOGUE PRESSURE
GAUGE
The car is equipped with a pressure
gauge for measuring the turbocharger
pressure by means of the analogue
indicator 1 fig. 46.
Depending on the model, the indicator
1 scale may reach 2.0 bar.
NoteThe turbocharger supercharging
pressure reading on the pressure gauge
should never exceed 1 – 1.2 bar even
in the case of sporty driving and
maximum performance.Sport mode display
If the SPORT function is used, the
display 2 fig. 46 inside the turbocharger
pressure gauge will show the word
“SPORT”.

EXIT MENU
TRIP COMPUTER
The Trip computer is used to display
information on car operation when the
key is turned to MAR.
This function is characterised by two
separate memories, called "Trip A" and
"Trip B", where the car's "complete
missions" (journeys) are recorded in a
reciprocally independent manner, as
well as, for versions where present,
"Instant info" and "Best average
consumption".
Both memories can be reset: i.e. start
of a new journey.
"Trip A" can be used to display the
values relating to:
Range (where present)
Distance travelled A
Average consumption A
Instantaneous fuel consumption
(where present)
Average speed A
Trip time A (driving time)
Reset Trip A.
“Trip B” may be used to display the
figures relating to:
Distance travelled B
Average consumption B
Average speed B
Trip time B (driving time)
Reset Trip B.
42
KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

The "Trip B" function may be disabled
(see "Activating Trip B"). "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):
Autonomy
Instant consumption
“Best average consumption" displays a
screen summarising the best average
consumption (where present). This
information can be reset.
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 travelled
from the start of the new journey.
Average fuel 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
display will show "----"ifthecar
is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the vehicle'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. 48. 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.

New mission
This begins after a reset:
“manual” resetting by the user, by
pressing the relevant button;
“automatic” resetting, when the “trip
distance” reaches 99999.9 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” or “Trip B” details are being
displayed resets the information
associated with the function displayed.
Start of journey
procedure
With the ignition key in the MAR-ON
position, reset by pressing the TRIP
button and keeping it pressed for more
than 2 seconds.
Exit Trip
You can automatically exit the TRIP
function once all the values have been
displayed or by holding the MENU
button
down for more than 1
second.
