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.
The rev. counter end of scale values can
vary based on the version.
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.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
It shows the engine speed.
The speed indicator end of scale values
can vary based on the version.

Certain versions (where provided) are fit-
ted with a luggage retainer net that can be
secured to the fastening rings fig. 114.
IMPORTANT Never anchor to single
hook a load exceeding 100 kg.
Certain versions (where provided) are fit-
ted with a luggage anti-throw out safety
net secured to the roof at two side seats
fig. 115, and at the bottom to the load re-
taining rings set on the wheelhouses.
BONNET
TO OPEN THE BONNET
Proceed as follows:
❒pull the lever A-fig. 116in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow in order
to release the lock of the engine bon-
net;
❒insert your hand between bonnet and
bumper and push the lever B-fig. 117
to the left as shown;
❒lift the bonnet and at the same time
release the rod C fig. 118from the
catch D, then fit the rod end into the
bonnet recess E.
IMPORTANT Before opening the bonnet,
check that windscreen wiper arms are not
lifted from the windscreen.
fig. 114F0L0237mfig. 115F0L0238m
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.
WARNING
A heavy load that has not
been secured may cause se-
rious harm.

FUEL RESERVE
(amber)
Turning the ignition key to ON
the warning light comes on but shall go off
after few seconds.
The warning light turns on when about 5
litres fuel are left in the tank.
IMPORTANT The warning light flashes to
indicate a failure, contact Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible to have the system
checked.GLOW PLUG
WARMING
(Multijet versions -
amber)
GLOW PLUG WARMING
FAILURE
(Multijet versions - amber)
Glow plug warming
Turning the ignition key to ONthe warn-
ing light turns on and it will go off when
glow plugs reach the preset temperature.
Start the engine immediately after warn-
ing light turning off.
IMPORTANT With hot ambient temper-
ature, warning light stays on for very short
time.
Glow plug warming failure
The warning light turns on when there is
a failure in the glow plug warming system.
Contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
m
warning light stays on or turns on when
travelling:
❒glowing steadily: means a fault in the
supply/ignition system which could
cause high emissions at the exhaust,
possible lack of performance, poor
handling and high consumption levels.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
In these conditions it is possible to con-
tinue driving without however requiring
heavy effort or high speed from the en-
gine. Prolonged use of the car with the
warning light on may cause damages. Con-
tact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light goes off if the fault dis-
appears, but it is still stored by the system.
❒flashing: indicates the possibility of
damage to the catalyst (see “EOBD
system” in section “Dashboard and
controls”).
If the light flashes, it is necessary to release
the accelerator pedal to lower the speed
of the engine until the warning light stops
flashing; continue the journey at moder-
ate speed, trying to avoid driving condi-
tions that may cause further flashing and
contact Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble.
