TRIP COMPUTER
IN BRIEF
The Trip computer is used to display
information on vehicle operation
when the ignition key is turned to
MAR. This function allows you to
define two separate trips, called "Trip
A" and "Trip B", for monitoring the
"complete mission" (journey) of
the vehicle in a reciprocally
independent manner. Both functions
can be reset (reset means start of
a new journey).
"Trip A" can be used to display the
values relating to:
Outside Temperature
Range
Distance travelled A
Average consumption A
Instantaneous consumption
Average speed A
Trip time A (driving time)
Reset Trip A
"Trip B", available on multifunction
display only, is used to display
the values relating to:
Distance travelled B
Average consumption B
Average speed B
Trip time B (driving time)
Trip B reset
11)
Values displayed
Outside temperature (for versions/
markets, where provided)
Indicates the temperature outside the
vehicle passenger compartment.
Range (for versions/markets, where
provided)
This indicates the distance that can still
be travelled with the fuel in the tank,
assuming that driving style remains
unvaried. The display will show the
reading '-----' when the following
events take place:
range is lower than 50 km (or
corresponding figure in mi)
vehicle is left parked with the engine
running for a long time
IMPORTANT The range can be affected
by several factors: driving style (see
“Driving style” in the “Starting and
driving” section), type of route
(motorway, towns and cities, mountain
roads, etc.), conditions of use (load,
tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning must
therefore take the above into account.Distance travelled
This value shows the distance travelled
from the start of the new journey.
Average consumption (for versions/
markets, where provided)
This value shows the approximate
average fuel consumption from the start
of the new journey.
Instant consumption (for versions/
markets where provided)
This value shows the fuel consumption.
The value is constantly updated. The
display will show "----" if the car is
parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the car's average
speed based on the overall time
elapsed since the start of the new
journey.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Journey time
Time elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
IMPORTANT If there is no information,
the Trip computer displays "----" in
place of the value. When normal
operating conditions are restored, the
counting of the various values is
resumed, without either zeroing the
values displayed prior to the problem,
or starting a new mission.
TRIP control button
The TRIP button, located on the top of
the right steering column stalk fig.
121, is used (with ignition at MAR) to
display these values and reset them to
start a new journey:
brief press to access the various
values displays;
long press to reset and then start a
new mission.New mission
This begins after a reset:
“manual” resetting by the user, by
pressing the relevant button;
“automatic” resetting, when the “trip
distance” reaches 9999.9 km or when
the “trip time” reaches 999:59 (999
hours and 59 minutes);
after disconnection/reconnection of
the battery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when
“Trip A” details are being displayed
only resets the information associated
with this function. "Range" and
"Instantaneous fuel consumption"
information can not be reset.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberEOBD/INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE
In normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned to MAR the
warning light switches on, but it should switch off as soon as the
engine is started.
The operation of the
warning light may be checked by the
traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and
regulations of the country where you are driving.13)
If the warning light stays on or switches on when driving, it
means that the injection system is not working properly; in
particular, if the warning light comes on constantly, this indicates
a malfunction in the supply/ignition system that could cause
excessive exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance,
poor driveability and high fuel consumption.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.
The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but
the warning is still stored by the system.Under these conditions, the vehicle can
continue travelling at moderate speed without
demanding excessive effort from the engine.
Prolonged use of the car with the warning light
on fixed may cause damage.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
NOTE (for petrol engine only)
If the warning light flashes, it means that the catalytic converter
may be damaged.In this case, 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 moderate speed, trying
to avoid driving conditions that may cause
further flashing and contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.

TPMS failure
The warning light flashes for about 75 seconds then stays
on constantly when a fault is detected in the TPMS.In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Low tyre pressure
The warning light switches on to indicate that the tyre
pressure is lower than the recommended value and/or
that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these
circumstances, optimal tyre duration and fuel
consumption may not be guaranteed.
95

STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the
engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, you
should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by letting
it idle to allow the temperature in the
engine compartment to fall.
WARNING
17)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessively intense braking,
etc.) during the initial period of use.
18)When the engine is off, do not leave
the key turned to MAR to prevent
unnecessary electrical consumption from
draining the battery.
19)If the indicator flashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates
a problem in the glow plug pre­heating
system. Use the vehicle normally if the
engine starts, but contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
20)Never start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
WARNING
95)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between
the front seats. Pull the lever upwards
to engage the handbrake and ensure
that the vehicle does not move. The
vehicle should be secured after several
clicks of the lever. If it is not, contact
a Fiat Dealership to have it adjusted.
96)When the handbrake lever is engaged
and the ignition key is in MAR position,
the instrument panel warning light
will switch on.
Proceed as follows to release the
handbrake:
slightly lift the lever and press
release button A fig. 145;
keep button A pressed and lower
the lever. The
warning light in the
instrument panel will switch off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying
out this operation to prevent the vehicle
from moving accidentally.
PARKING
Proceed as follows:
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
engage the gear (on a slope, engage
first gear if the vehicle is facing uphill
or reverse if it is facing downhill) and
leave the wheels steered.
129

START&STOP
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The Start&Stop device automatically
stops the engine each time the
vehicle is stationary and starts it
again when the driver wants to move
off.
This improves the efficiency of the
vehicle by reducing fuel consumption,
the emission of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
stops with the gearbox in neutral and
the clutch pedal released.
WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
The engine cuts out if the vehicle stops
with the brake pedal pressed.
This condition can be maintained even
if the brake pedal is not depressed, if
the gear lever is in position N.Note: The engine can only be stopped
automatically after a speed of about
10 km/h is reached, to prevent the
engine from being repeatedly stopped
when driving at walking pace.
The engine being stopped is signalled
by a fig. 147 symbol on the display,
depending on the trim level.
Restarting the engine
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
If the gear lever is in position N, place it
in any other gear, otherwise release
the brake pedal or move the gear lever
to (+), (–) or R.MANUAL ACTIVATION
AND DEACTIVATION
The device can be activated/
deactivated by the button A fig. 148
placed on the side of the handbrake.
When the function is not active, the
button LED is on. In addition, on some
versions, additional information
concerning the deactivation or
activation of the Start&Stop system is
given through a message on the
display.
MISSED ENGINE
STOPPING CONDITIONS
With the device activated, for reasons
of comfort, limiting emissions and
safety, the engine does not stop in
certain conditions, including:
engine still cold;
particularly cold external
temperatures, if the corresponding
indication is provided;

battery not sufficiently charged;
particulate filter regeneration in
progress (diesel engines only);
driver's door not shut;
driver's seat belt not fastened;
reverse gear engaged (for example,
for parking manoeuvres);
automatic climate control, if a
suitable thermal comfort level has not
yet been reached or MAX-DEF function
activation;
during the first period of use, to
initialise the system.
In the above cases, the warning light
fig. 147 flashes and, where available,
there is a message in the display.
RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful
emissions and safety purposes, the
power unit can restart automatically
without any action on the part of the
driver if certain conditions are met,
including:
battery not sufficiently charged;
reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);
vehicle in motion (e.g. when driving
on roads with a gradient);
stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than about
three minutes.
automatic climate control system for
adjusting the thermal comfort level or
to enable MAX-DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can
be automatically restarted only by
fully depressing the clutch pedal. The
driver is asked to perform this operation
by the instrument panel warning light
fig. 147 flashing and, where provided,
the message in the display.
Note: In cases of undesired engine
stops, due for example to the clutch
pedal being released abruptly with
a gear engaged, if the Start&Stop
system is activated, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch
pedal or by placing the gear lever in
neutral.
Note: If the clutch is not pressed, when
three minutes have elapsed since the
engine was stopped, the engine can
only be restarted using the key.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through
the Start&Stop system, if the driver
unfastens his/her seat belt and opens
the driver's door or the passenger door,
the engine can be restarted only by
using the key.The driver is notified of this condition by
a buzzer, through the instrument panel
warning light fig. 147 flashing and,
where provided, by a message in the
display.
"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, after the engine has been
automatically restarted, the driver does
not take any action for a period of
about 3 minutes, the Start&Stop
system will definitively stop the engine
to avoid fuel consumption.
The engine can only be started using
the key in such cases. Note: In any
case, it is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the Start&Stop
system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the case of malfunctions the
Start&Stop system is disabled.
The driver is informed of the problem by
the general failure warning light A fig.
149, where provided, coming on with
an information message and the
system failure symbol B fig. 149 in the
control panel. In this case, contact a
Fiat Dealership.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided): the
space-saver wheel is not equipped with
a TPMS sensor. Once fitted, while
driving normally, the warning light
comes on (flashing for about 75
seconds, and then constantly). This
condition lasts until a wheel equipped
with an original TPMS sensor is fitted
on the vehicle.
Normal spare wheel (without TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light comes on
(flashing for about 75 seconds, and
then constantly). This condition lasts
until a wheel equipped with an original
TPMS sensor is fitted on the vehicle.
The system is then restored and the
warning light switches off.
Normal spare wheel (with TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light switches
off.
IMPORTANT In all the above-mentioned
cases, it is advisable to check the
spare wheel tyre pressure before
starting driving.
NOTE If the tyres are replaced, driving
the vehicle for short stretches, some
time might be needed before the
system is restored.IMPORTANT
WARNING
103)The TPMS is optimised for the
original tyres and wheels provided. TPMS
pressures and alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres mounted
on the vehicle. Using equipment with
different size, type or kind may cause
irregular system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare wheels can
damage the sensor. Do not use tyre
sealant or balancing weights if the vehicle
is equipped with TPMS as these may
damage the sensors.
104)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
105)TPMS does not relieve the driver from
the obligation to check the tyre pressure
every month; it is not to be considered
a replacing system for maintenance or a
safety system.
106)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even if
it is higher than the prescribed value, but
repeat the check when tyres are cold.
107)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden
tyre pressure drops (for example when
a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.108)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
109)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
110)Always refit the valve stem cap after
inspecting or adjusting tyre pressure.
This prevents dampness or dirt from
entering the valve stem and thus
the pressure control sensor from being
damaged.
111)The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original kit may
adversely affect its operation. If sealants
not equivalent with the original one are
used, it is recommended to have the
TPMS sensor operation checked by a
qualified repair centre.
136
STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
22)For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with
EN590 European specifications. The use of
other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, due
to the damage caused. If you accidentally
introduce other types of fuel into the tank,
do not start the engine. Empty the tank.
If the engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time, you must
not only drain the fuel tank, but the rest of
the supply circuit as well.
23)Do not approach naked flames or lit
cigarettes to the fuel tank filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for
fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other pollutants
(nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter (PM),
etc.).
PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR
REDUCING FUEL
CONSUMPTION AND
HARMFUL EMISSIONS
Vehicle conditions
Have checks and adjustments for
vehicle maintenancecarried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled
servicing plan”.
Checktyrepressure regularly, at
least once every four weeks.
Excessively low pressures will increase
consumption because rolling resistance
will be higher. In addition, this wears
the tyre more quickly and impairs
performance.
Only usesnow tyreswhen the
weather conditions make them
absolutely necessary. They increase
consumption and noise.
Do not travel witha heavy load: the
weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its geometry greatly
affect fuel consumption and stability.
Removeroof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce the
vehicle's aerodynamic penetration and
have a negative effect on fuel
consumption.
When transporting particularly large
objects, use atrailerif possible.
Use the vehicle's air vents if
possible: travelling with the windows
open impairs aerodynamics.
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The vehicle’s
heated rear window, additional
headlights, screen wipers and heater
fan require a considerable amount
of energy; this increases fuel
consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average up to +30%).
If the temperature outside is not too
extreme, try and use the air vents.
Driving style
Afterstarting the engineyou
should drive away immediately and
slowly, avoiding high revs. Do not warm
up the engine at low or high revs when
the vehicle is stationary; this causes
the engine to warm up more slowly,
thereby increasing fuel consumption,
emissions and mechanical component
wear.
