INSTRUMENTS
The instrument background colour and type may vary
according to the versions.
SPEEDOMETER fig. 11
This shows the speed of the vehicle.
REV COUNTER fig. 12
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 these cases,
a slow change in revs is used to protect the battery
charge.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 13
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel
tank.
E tank empty
F tank full
The reserve warning light A comes on to indicate that
approximately 7 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.

C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
Warning light B may light up (and a message on the
reconfigurable multifunction display may appear in
certain versions) to indicate that the coolant
temperature is too high; in this case, stop the engine and
contact an Abarth Dealership. See the description in the “Refuelling” paragraph.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and warning
light A will flash to indicate a fault in the system. If this is
the case, go to an Abarth Dealership to have the system
checked.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 14
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid
and starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle assumes different
positions within the scale depending on the usage
conditions.
If the needle reaches the red area, stop
the engine immediately and contact an
Abarth Dealership.
