INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING
ADJUSTMENT
(Brightness sensor) (Sport versions with
reconfigurable multifunction display)
Sport versions with reconfigurable multifunction
display are equipped with a brightness sensor (fitted
inside the speedometer) capable of detecting
ambient light conditions and adjusting the
brightness of the instrument panel accordingly.The behaviour of the instrument is as follow:
❒in "daytime" mode the display can be adjusted to
8 settings, the graphics are switched off, the
indexes are fully lit up and cannot be adjusted;
❒in "nighttime" mode the display, the graphics and
the indexes can be adjusted to 8 settings. The
brightness of the radio and automatic dual zone
climate control display is also adjusted.
The brightness setting depends on the values
previously configured using the setup menu on the
reconfigurable multifunction display (see "Lighting"
in the "Reconfigurable multifunction display"
paragraph).
The instrument panel graphics brightness may
change (from on to off ) whilst the vehicle is moving
following an event that causes a switch from
daytime to nighttime conditions in the passenger
compartment (for example, entering a tunnel).

REV COUNTER
The rev counter fig. 17 shows the number of engine
revolutions per minute.
On diesel versions, the end of scale for the rev
counter is 6000 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 engine
speed. This behaviour is standard as it may be
caused, for example, by the operation 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
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the
tank.
Warning light A fig. 18 comes on to indicate that
approximately 8-10 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Etank emptyFtank full (see the instructions provided in
paragraph "Refuelling the car" in this chapter).
Do not travel with the tank nearly empty to
prevent damaging the catalytic converter.
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 the Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.

air recirculation on when it is rainy/cold or the
windows might steam up, especially if the climate
control system is not turned on.
