IMPORTANTThe electronic sys-
tem progressively blocks fuel flow to
prevent engine from overrevving. This
will lead to a progressive loss of en-
gine power. When the engine is idling,
the rev counter may indicate a grad-
ual or sudden highering of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place during
normal operation, for example when
activating the climate control system
or the fan. In particular a slow change
in the speed preserves the battery
charge.

light Awill flash to indicate a fault in
the system. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
shipto have the system checked.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
This gauge 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 condi-
tions.

C- Low engine coolant temperature
H- High engine coolant temperature
Warning light B-fig. 35 - 37 comes

icated message on the reconfigurable
multifunction display) to indicate that
engine coolant temperature is too
high; in this event stop the engine and
