TRIP COMPUTERGeneral information
The Trip computer is used to display information on
car operation when the key is turned to MAR-ON.
Two separate trips, called “Trip A” and “Trip B”,
are provided to monitor the entire mission (journey)
in a reciprocally independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset - start of a new
journey).
“Trip A” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Outside temperature (for versions/markets where
provided)
❒Range
❒Distance covered
❒Average consumption
❒Instantaneous consumption
❒Average speed
❒Trip time (driving time).
“Trip B” is used to display the figures relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time).
NoteThe “Trip B” function may be disabled (see
“Activating Trip B”). The “Range” and “Instant
consumption" parameters cannot be reset.Values displayed
Range
This indicates the approximate distance which can be
travelled with the amount of fuel present in the
tank.“----”will appear on the display in the
following cases:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)
❒car parked with engine running for an extended
period.
IMPORTANT The range value variation can be
affected by several factors: driving style, type of route
(motorway, urban, mountain roads, etc.), conditions
of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning
must therefore take the above into account.
Distance covered
Shows the distance covered since the start of the
new journey.
Average consumption
Shows the approximate average fuel consumption
since the start of the new journey.
Instantaneous consumption
This indicates the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The display will show “----”if
the car is parked with the engine running.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR
VERSIONS EQUIPPED WITH "Smart Fuel"
WARNING
Do not apply any object/plug to the end
of the filler which is not provided for
the car.The use of non-compliant objects/plugs
could cause a pressure increase inside the
tank, resulting in dangerous situations.
WARNING
Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
IMPORTANT If the filler compartment is washed
with a high pressure jet, keep it at a distance of
at least 20 cm.

SAVING FUELHere are some suggestions which can help you to
save fuel and lower harmful emissions.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures at least once every 4
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels
increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the car and its arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption levels.
When transporting particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.Electrical devices
Only use electrical devices for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, therefore increasing
fuel consumption (by up to 25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
The use of the climate control system leads to higher
fuel consumption. If the temperature outside
permits, try to use ventilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill
or at idle or high speed: under these conditions
the engine warms up much more slowly, increasing
consumption and emissions. It is therefore advisable
to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds:
in this way the engine will warm up more quickly.

Speed limit exceeded
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on (together with a
message on the display) when the speed limit set in
the Setup Menu is exceeded.
When the car exceeds this value, on some versions a
message and a symbol are shown in the display and
an acoustic signal is emitted.
Fuel cut-off system intervention/fault
The warning light switches on (together with a
message on the display) in the event of fuel cut-off
system intervention/fault.
Start&Stop system fault
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on (together with a
message on the display) when a Start&Stop system
failure is detected.
In the event of a Start&Stop system failure, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
Temporary or permanent City Brake Control
- "Collision Mitigation" system failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on (together with a
message on the display) when a temporary or
permanent City Brake Control - "Collision
Mitigation" system failure is detected.If the failure is permanent: contact a Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
Parking sensor failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on (together with a
message on the display) when a parking sensor fault
is detected.
Exterior lights failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light will come on when a fault to one
of the following lights is detected:
❒side lights;
❒number plate lights;
❒rear fog lights;
❒direction indicators;
❒daytime running lights (DRL).
Engine oil pressure sensor failure
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The engine oil pressure sensor failure is indicated by
the activation of the warning light on the instrument
panel.
Water in diesel filter (diesel versions)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Turning the key to MAR switches on the warning
light, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
