Values displayed
Range
Range (for versions/markets where provided)
This value shows the distance that the car can still
cover before needing fuel, assuming that driving style
is unvaried. “----”will appear on the display in
the following cases:
❒range is lower than 50 km (or 30 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 covered from the start
of the new journey.Average consumption
This value shows the approximate average fuel
consumption from the start of the new journey.
Current consumption
This value shows the fuel consumption. The value is
constantly updated. The message “----” will appear
on the display if the vehicle is parked with the engine
running.
Average speed
Shows the average speed of the vehicle by using the
overall time elapsed since the start of a new journey.
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 journey.

WARNING
Depress the clutch pedal fully to change
gear correctly.There should be no
obstacles on the floor underneath the pedals;
make sure that mats are always flat and do not
interfere with the pedals.Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight , could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.The
clutch pedal should be used only for gear
changes. Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal, however slightly.The electronic
clutch control could cut in by interpreting the
incorrect driving style as a fault (for versions/
markets, where provided).
SAVING FUELSome 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.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressure at least once every four
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 vehicle (especially when driving in town)
and its trim 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 reduce the aerodynamic
coefficient of the vehicle and have a negative effect

on fuel consumption. It is better to use a trailer to
transport particularly bulky objects.

Electric devices
Only use electrical devices for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen/rear window 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 air conditioner leads to higher fuel consumption
(on average up to +20%). If the temperature outside
is not too extreme, try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect
aerodynamics and fuel consumption.DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect fuel consumption
are listed below.
Starting
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 and emissions. It is advisable to set off
immediately and slowly, avoiding high revs: this allows
the engine to warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when stationary at traffic lights or
before stopping the engine. The latter action, like
double declutching, is unnecessary and increases
consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road
conditions allow. Using a low gear for faster
acceleration will increase fuel consumption.
In the same way, improper use of a high gear
increases fuel consumption, emissions and engine
wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption increases considerably with speed.
Maintain a constant speed, avoiding unnecessary

braking and acceleration, which cost in terms of both
fuel consumption and emissions.

Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative effect on fuel
consumption and emissions: accelerate gradually.
CONDITIONS OF USE
The main conditions of use which negatively affect
consumption are illustrated below.
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-ups prevent
the engine from reaching its optimum running
temperature.
Consequently, both consumption (from +15 to +30%
on the urban cycle) and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Heavy traffic, for instance when travelling in a queue
with frequent use of low gears or in cities with
lots of traffic lights, causes fairly high fuel
consumption. Mountain roads and uneven surfaces
also have a negative effect on consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. at level crossings)
the engine should be switched off.
TOWING TRAILERSIMPORTANT
The vehicle must be provided with a type-approved
tow hitch and adequate electrical system to tow
trailers. Installation must be performed by specialised
personnel who will issue the required papers for
travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-view mirrors
in accordance with the highway code of the country
in which you are travelling.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are
harder to climb, braking distances increase and
overtaking takes longer depending on the overall
weight of the trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than
constantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the vehicle tow hitch
will reduce the loading capacity of the vehicle by the
same amount.
Consider the weight at full load, including accessories
and luggage, to make sure you do not exceed the
maximum towable weight (shown in the log book).
Respect each country's speed limits for vehicles
towing trailers. In all cases, the top speed must not
exceed 80 km/h.

INJECTION SYSTEM FAULT
(amber)
Injection system failure
Under normal conditions, turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light turns on but it should go
off after the engine starts.
If the warning light stays on or comes on when
travelling, it means there is a fault in the injection
system which could cause loss of performance, poor
handling and high fuel consumption levels.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can continue
travelling at moderate speed without demanding
excessive effort from the engine. In any case, you
should go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible if warning light
either does
not light up when the key is turned to
MAR to if while travelling the warning lights
comes on either steady or blinking (along with a
message on the display).The operation of warning
light
may be checked by the traffic police
using specific devices. Follow the laws in force in
the country where you are driving.
DPF (PARTICULATE TRAP)
CLEANING UNDERWAY (amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light stays on constantly to notify the
driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate
captured pollutants (particulate) by the regeneration
process.
The warning light does not come on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions
require notification to the driver. The warning light
will go off if the vehicle stays in motion until
regeneration has been completed. The process
normally takes about 15 minutes.
The optimum conditions to end the process are
achieved by keeping the car in motion at up to 60
km/h with an engine speed higher than 2000 rpm.
This light coming on is not a fault and therefore the
vehicle does not need to go to the workshop.
A specific message will appear on the display when
the warning light comes on (for versions/markets,
where provided).

FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests
laid down by specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: begins with cold starting, then follows a driving path simulating the usage of the vehicle in town
❒extra-urban cycle: driving that simulates using the vehicle out of town with frequent acceleration in all
gears; the speed varies from 0 to 120 km/h
❒combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63%
of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the
vehicle, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, vehicle load, presence of roof racks
and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel
consumption figures than those measured.
