COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE A-fig. 29
Under normal conditions, the needle
of the temperature gauge should hov-
er around the middle of the scale. If
it approaches the red section it means
the engine is being overtaxed and you
should reduce your demands on it.
Travelling too slowly when the out-
side temperature is very hot can also
cause the needle to approach the red
sector.
In this case it is better to stop and
turn off the engine. After a few mo-
ments you can start the engine again
and accelerate slightly.FUEL GAUGE B-fig. 29
The needle shows the number of
litres of fuel probably in the tank.
When the Kreserve warning light
comes on, it means that about 5 litres
of fuel are left in the tank.
Never travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: any gaps in fuel supply
could damage the catalytic converter.DIGITAL CLOCK fig. 30
This a twenty-four hour clock. When
the headlights are turned on the fig-
ures will automatically grow dim to
make them easier to read.
To set the hours: press button A.
To set the minutes: press button B.
Press the button once to forward
one unit at a time. Keep the button
pressed to fast forward automatical-
ly. When you are close to the time
you wish to set, release the button and
press the button as many times as re-
quired.
If the conditions persists
even after the measures
you have taken, turn off
the engine and have the car seen
to at a Fiat Dealership.

The normal braking system contin-
ues to work but you should have the
car seen to at a Fiat Dealership.
When the key is turned toMARthe
warning light will come on but should
go out after about 2 seconds. HANDBRAKE ON/
BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL LOW (red)
In two cases:
1. When the handbrake is applied.
2. When the brake fluid level falls be-
low the minimum.BATTERY NOT
RECHARGED
PROPERLY (red)
When there is a malfunction in the
current generating system.
The light comes on when you turn
the ignition key to MARbut it should
go out when the engine starts.

x
If the xwarning light
comes on while travelling,
check that the handbrake is not en-
gaged. If the warning light stays on
when the handbrake is disengaged,
stop immediately and contact a Fi-
at Dealership.
WARNING
The car is fitted with an
electronic braking device
(EBD). If the >and xwarning
light turn on at the same time, this
means that there is an EBD system
fault. In this case violent braking
may be accompanied by early rear
wheel locking with the possibility of
skidding. Drive the car extremely
carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership to have the system checked.
WARNING

HAZARD LIGHTS
(red) (flashing)
When the hazard lights
are on.AIRBAG OR
PRETENSIONER
FAILURE (red)
When the system is not working
properly or has been triggered.
SEAT BELTS NOT
FASTENED (red)
When the driver’s seat
belt is not fastened properly. CATALYTIC
CONVERTER HOT
(red) (where fitted)
When the temperature of the cat-
alytic converter is extremely high: the
warning light will go out as soon as the
temperature drops to normal.
32
<
f¬
r
When you turn the ignition
key to the MAR position
this light comes on. It should, how-
ever, go out after about four sec-
onds. If the light stays on or comes
on while the car is moving, stop at
once and have the car seen to at a
Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The lighting of warning
light >when the engine is
running normally indicates a fault
in the ABS system only. In this case,
the braking system will still be ef-
fective without the anti-lock device.
In these conditions EBD system op-
eration can be reduced. Also in this
case we recommend immediately
taking the car to a Fiat Dealership
avoiding sudden braking to have
the system checked.

WARNING

45
IMPORTANT If one of the doors
is not shut properly or there is a fail-
ure in the system, the central locking
feature will not work and, after some
attempts, the device stops working for
around two minutes. In these two
minutes the doors can be locked or
unlocked manually without the elec-
trical system coming into play. After
the two minutes the control unit is
ready to receive commands once
more.
If the reason for the malfunction has
been removed, the device will start to
work properly again. If not it will cut
out once more.ELECTRIC WINDOWS fig. 53
Two push buttons are mounted on
the central console. They control the
following when the ignition key is at
MAR:
A- left window opening
B- left window closing
C- right window closing
D- right window opening
If a button is pressed on the driver’s
side for around two seconds, the win-
dow works automatically: the window
stops when it is fully opened or closed
(or when the button is pushed again).

Improper use of the electric
windows can be dangerous.
Before and during their operation,
ensure that any passengers in the
vehicle are not at risk either by per-
sonal objects getting caught or by
being injured directly. Always re-
move the ignition key when you get
out of the car to prevent the elec-
tric windows being operated acci-
dentally and constituting a danger
to the people left in the car.
