When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden higher-
ing of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place during nor-
mal operation, for example when activat-
ing the climate control system or the fan.
In particular a slow change in the speed
preserves the battery charge.

INSTRUMENTS
REV. COUNTER fig. 18
Rev counter shows 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 pow-
er.
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in non-
compliance of the car with homolo-
gation requirements.

If the needle reaches the red
area, stop the engine immedi-
ately and contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.

ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE fig. 20
The turning on of the warning light Bin-
dicates that the coolant fluid temperature
is too high; in this case, stop the engine
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and begins working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
should move to different positions of the
scale according to the working conditions
and engine cooling conditions. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 19
This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.
The reserve warning light Aturns on to
indicate that approx. 7 to 9 litres of fuel
are left in the tank.
E- tank empty.
F- tank full (see the indications given in
paragraph “At the filling station").
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: the gaps in fuel delivery could dam-
age the catalyst.
fig. 19F0L0006m
IMPORTANT If the needle sets at the bot-
tom of the scale (low temperature) with
warning light Bon, it means that the sys-
tem is malfunctioning. Contact a Fiat Deal-
ership to have the system inspected.
SPEEDOMETER fig. 21

ted with a luggage anti-throw out safety
net secured to the roof at two side seats
fig. 111, and at the bottom to the load re-
taining rings set on the wheelhouses.
BONNET
TO OPEN THE BONNET
Proceed as follows:
❒pull lever A-fig. 112in the direction
of the arrow;
❒pull lever B-fig. 113as shown in the

❒lift the bonnet and at the same time
release the rod C-fig. 114from the
catch D-fig. 114, then fit the rod end

fig. 110F0L0237mfig. 111F0L0238m
If you want to carry reserve
fuel in a can, follow law reg-
ulations, only using a certified can,
suitably fastened to the load securing
eyelets. Even in this way the risk of
fire is increased in the case of an ac-
cident.

been secured may cause se-
rious harm.
