INSTRUMENTS
Instrument background colour and type may vary ac-
cording to the version.
SPEEDOMETER fig. 14
This shows the speed of the vehicle.
REV COUNTER fig. 15
The rev counter shows the number of engine revolutions
per minute.
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 power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate a
gradual or sudden increase of the rate.
This is normal and does not indicate a fault. It may becaused, for example, by the operation of the climate con-
trol system or fan. In these cases, a slow change in revs is
used to protect the battery charge.
FUEL GAUGE fig. 16
This shows the amount of fuel left in the tank.
E tank empty.
F tank full.
The reserve warning light A comes on to indicate that
approximately 7 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 catalyst.
See the description in the “Refuelling” paragraph.
IMPORTANT The needle will point to E and warning light
A will blink to indicate a fault in the system. If this is the
case, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.

“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This will light up the space in front of the vehicle for
a certain period of time.
Activation
With the key turned to STOP or removed, pull the left-
hand stalk towards the steering wheel within 2 minutes
from when the engine is turned off.
Each time the stalk is moved, the lights stay on for an ex-
tra 30 seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds; then the
lights are switched off automatically.
The warning light
3on the instrument panel will light up
and the corresponding message will appear in the display
(see “Warning lights and messages”) for as long as the func-
tion is activated. The light comes on when the stalk is first
moved and stays on until the function is automatically de-
activated. Each movement of the stalk increases only the
amount of time the lights stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steering wheel for more
than 2 seconds.

CONTENTS
If the key is turned to MAR, even if the en-
gine is switched off, airbags may be de-
ployed when the car is stationary and hit by an-
other vehicle. For this reason, young children must
never sit on the front seat, even if the car is not
moving. We remind you that if the key is turned
to the STOP position, no safety device (airbag or
pretensioner) activates following a collision. Non-
deployment in such cases should not be consid-
ered as the sign of a malfunction.
WARNING
If the car has been stolen or has been the
subject of an attempted theft, if it has
been vandalised or flooded, have the airbag sys-
tem checked at a Fiar Dealership.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to MAR,
the warning light “turns on (with front
airbag on passenger’s side enabled) and blinks for
a few seconds to remind you that the passenger
airbag will activate in the event of a collision. Then
it turns off.
WARNING
Do not pressure wash the seats with steam
or water (either by hand or at automatic
seat washing stations).
WARNING
The front airbags deploy in the event of
more severe collisions than those required
for deploying the pretensioners. For collisions in
the range between the two activation thresholds,
pretensioner activation alone is normal.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to clothes hang-
ers and support handles.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace seat belts; it
increases their effectiveness. Furthermore,
since front airbags are not deployed in low speed
collisions, side-on collisions, rear-end shunts or
roll-overs, the passengers are protected only by
the seat belts which must therefore be fastened
at all times.

ately.
