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.

The “GSI” (Gear Shift Indicator) system advises the
driver to change gear through a specific indication
on the control panel fig. 26.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified that
changing gear will allow a reduction in fuel
consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is shown on
the display, the GSI is advising the driver to engage
a higher gear, while the SHIFT DOWN (
SHIFT)
icon advises the driver to engage a lower gear.
Note The indication on the instrument panel
remains on until the driver changes gear or until
the driving conditions return to a situation where a
gear change is not required to reduce consumption.
