REV. COUNTER fig. 18
The indicator B shows the engine revolution number.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system grad-
ually 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 speed.
This behaviour is standard as it takes place during the ac-
tivation of the climate control system or the fan. It should
not be considered as a fault. In these cases, a slow change
in engine speed preserves the battery charge.
INSTRUMENTSThe instrument background colour and type may vary
according to the versions.
SPEEDOMETER (SPEED INDICATOR) fig. 17
The indicator A shows the car speed (speedometer).

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE
GAUGE fig. 19
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid and
starts working when the fluid temperature exceeds
approx. 50 °C.
Under normal conditions, the needle should hover
around the middle of the scale depending on the working
conditions.
C Low engine coolant temperature
H High engine coolant temperature.
The warning light B may light up (with a message on
the reconfigurable multifunction display for some versions)
to indicate that the coolant temperature is too high; in this
case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 19
The needle shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full (see the instructions provided in paragraph
“At the filling station”).
The reserve warning light A turns on to indicate that
approximately 5 litres of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps
in fuel delivery could damage the catalytic converter.
IMPORTANT The needle sets to E with the warning light
A flashing to indicate that the system is failing. If this is
the case, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
If the needle reaches the red area, stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
