TRIP COMPUTER
IN BRIEF
The Trip computer is used to display
informationon vehicle operation
when the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON. This function allows you to
define two separate trips, called
"Trip A" and "Trip B", for monitoring
the "complete mission" (journey)
of the vehicle in a reciprocally
independent manner. Both functions
can be reset (reset means start of
a new journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures
relating to:
❒Outside temperature
❒Range
❒Distance travelled A
❒Average consumption A
❒Instant fuel consumption
❒Average speed A
❒Trip time A (driving time).
❒Reset Trip A
"Trip B", available on multifunction
display only, is used to display
the values relating to:❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time).21)
Values displayed
Outside temperature
Indicates the temperature outside the
vehicle passenger compartment.
Range (for versions/markets, where
provided)
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)
❒vehicle is left parked with the engine
running for a long time.
131

IMPORTANT The range can be affected
by several factors: driving style (see
paragraph “Driving style” in the
“Starting and driving” section), type of
route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc…), usage
conditions (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 (for versions/
markets, where provided)
This value shows the approximate
average fuel consumption from the start
of the new journey.
Instant consumption (for versions/
markets where provided)
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 car's average
speed based on the overall time
elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
Trip time
Time elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
IMPORTANT If there is no information,
the Trip computer displays "----" in
place of the value. When normal
operating conditions are restored, the
counting of the various values is
resumed, without either zeroing the
values displayed prior to the problem,
or starting a new mission.
TRIP control button
The TRIP button is located on the right
stalk fig. 152. With the ignition key
turned to MAR-ON, this button allows
you to view the previously described
values and also zero them to begin
a new journey:
❒brief press to access the various
values displays;
❒long press to 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
distance travelled reaches 3,999.9
km or 9,999.9 km (depending on the
type of display) or when the travel
time reaches 99.59 (99 hours and 59
minutes);
❒after disconnection/reconnection of
the battery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when
“Trip A” details are being displayed
only resets the information associated
with this function.

amberEBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and(amber) warning lights (for
versions/markets, where provided), with the
engine on, indicates either a failure of the EBD
system or that the system is not available. In this
case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the
vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
The display shows the dedicated message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system inspected immediately.
redAIRBAG FAILURE
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the warning
light switches on but should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light stays on constantly if there is a
fault in the airbag system.
On some versions, the display shows the

Warning lights on
displayWhat it means What to do
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
TOO HIGH
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the
warning light switches on but should switch
off after a few seconds. The warning light
turns on when the engine is overheated.
The display shows the dedicated message.When driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the
engine and check that the water level in the reservoir is
not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait for the engine to
cool down then slowly and carefully open the cap, top
up with coolant and check that the level is between the
MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir. Also check
visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the
warning light switches on again, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g.
in high-performance driving): slow down and, if the
warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3
minutes with the engine running and slightly
accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation,
then stop the engine. Check the correct coolant level as
described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few
minutes before switching it off.
redLOW BATTERY CHARGE
The warning light comes on when the
ignition key is turned to MAR-ON, but it
should go out as soon as the engine has
started (with the engine running at idle
speed a brief delay before going out is
acceptable).If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately.

Warning lights on
displayWhat it means What to do
redLOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the digital warning light switches on,
but it should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with the message in
the display when the system detects that the engine oil pressure is
insufficient.
22)
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(MultiJet versions with DPF only)
The warning light starts to flash together with a message on the display
(for versions/markets, where provided) when the system detects that the
engine oil has deteriorated.
If the warning light flashes, this does not mean that the vehicle is faulty,
but simply informs the driver that it is now necessary to change the
engine oil as a result of regular vehicle use. If the oil is not changed, when
a second deterioration threshold is reached, the warning light
also
switches on in the instrument panel and the engine operation is limited to
3000 rpm.
If the oil is still not changed, when a third deterioration threshold is
reached, the engine is limited to 1500 rpm to avoid damage.Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
100) 101)
Remember that the
deterioration of the engine
oil is accelerated by:
– mainly town use of the
vehicle which makes the
DPF regeneration process
more frequent
– use of the vehicle for
short trips, preventing the
engine from reaching
operating temperature
– repeated interruption of
the regeneration process,
signalled by the DPF
warning light coming on.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING
98) If thewarning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR-ON or if it stays on when driving (together
with the message on the display), there may be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or
pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy
erroneously. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
99) The failure of the
warning light is indicated by thewarning light flashing or, depending on the version, by the
symbol constantly on in the display. In this case, thewarning light may not indicate a fault in the restraint
systems. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
100) Deteriorated engine oil must be replaced as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on, and never more
than 500 km after it first switches on. Failure to observe the above indications may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember that when the warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level
of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you do not need to top up the engine oil.
101) If the
warning light flashes when driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberINJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON the warning light switches on, but it should
switch off as soon as the engine is started.
The operation of warning light
may be checked by
the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the
laws and regulations of the country where you are
driving.23)
If the warning light stays on or switches on when driving,
it means that the injection system is not working
properly; in particular, if the warning light comes on
constantly, this indicates a malfunction in the supply/
ignition system that could cause excessive exhaust
emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor
driveability and high fuel consumption.
On some versions, the display shows the dedicated
message.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction
disappears, but it is still stored by the system.Under these conditions, you may continue
travelling at a moderate speed without
demanding excessive effort from the
engine. Prolonged use of the car with the
warning light on constantly may cause
damage.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
