When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position, this gauge indicates the engine
coolant temperature. Under normal dri-
ving conditions, the indicator should stay
within the normal, acceptable temperature
range between “H” and “C”. If the indi-
cator approaches “H” or the overheat in-
dicator light (1) (for versions/markets,
where provided) comes on, overheating
is indicated. Follow the instructions for en-
gine overheating in the “EMERGENCY
SERVICE” section.
IMPORTANT Continuing to drive the ve-
hicle when engine overheating is indicat-
ed can result in severe engine damage.

tween fuel stops.
You can use the trip meter A or trip me-
ter B independently.
To reset the trip meter to zero, push and
hold the trip meter selector knob (1) for

Driving range
If you selected driving range the last time
you drove the vehicle, the display indicates
“---” for a few seconds and then indicates
the current driving range when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion.
The driving range shown in the display is
the approximate distance you can drive
until the fuel gauge indicates “E”, based on
current driving conditions.
When the remaining fuel in fuel tank
reaches a low level, the display “---” will
appear.
If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill
the fuel tank immediately regardless of the
value of driving range shown in the display.
As the driving range after refueling is cal-
culated based on the most recent driving
condition, the value is different each time
you refuel.
NOTE If you refuel when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position, the driving
range may not indicate the correct value.
When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-
minal to the battery, the value of driving
range will be shown after driving for a
while.Thermometer
The thermometer indicates the outside
temperature.
If the outside temperature nears freezing,
the mark (g) will appear on the display.
NOTE The outside temperature indica-
tion is not the actual outside temperature
when driving at low speed, or when
stopped.
If there is something wrong with the ther-
mometer, or just after the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON” position, the dis-
play may not indicate the outside tem-
perature.
The mark (g) will appear whenever the
outside temperature is near freezing, even
if the display does not show the ther-
mometer.
To change the unit of temperature, while
pushing and holding the trip meter selec-
tor knob (1), turn the indicator selector
knob (2).(g)

NOTE Depending on the vehicle’s speci-
fication, the fuel consumption units of ini-
tial setting are indicated as km/L or
L/100km.
NOTE
❒When you change the units that av-
erage fuel consumption is displayed in,
the instantaneous fuel consumption
units will be changed automatically.
❒When you reconnect the negative (–)
terminal to the battery, the unit of the
average fuel consumption will be reini-
tialized. Change the unit again to your
preference.

Oil life monitoring
The oil life monitoring indicates the re-
maining distance until the next timing to
change the engine oil and oil filter. When
the remaining distance become close to
0 km, you should change the engine oil and
oil filter immediately. The oil service light
in the instrument cluster may also come
on to let you know that you should change
the engine oil and oil filter immediately.
For details on how to change the engine
oil and oil filter, refer to “Changing Engine
Oil and Filter” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.Whenever the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, the oil life monitoring must be
reset to monitor the next oil and oil fil-
ter change timing properly. To reset the
indicator, consult your Fiat Dealership.
When the oil life monitoring is reset, the
oil life monitoring indicates the remain-
ing distance until the next timing to change
engine oil and filter. If the oil service light
was on, it will go out.
IMPORTANT Change the engine oil and
filter immediately when the remaining dis-
tance of the oil life monitoring indication
becomes close to 0 km. If you keep op-
erating the engine with the indication
shows 0 km, severe engine damage can re-
sult.
NOTE If the vehicle is usually used under
severe driving conditions, the engine oil
and oil filter should be changed more fre-
quently regardless the oil life monitoring.
Refer to “Maintenance recommended un-
der severe driving condition” in the “IN-
SPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion.Transaxle selector position
indicator (for automatic transaxle)
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position, the display (C) indicates the gear
position (h).
For details on how to use the transaxle,
refer to “Using the Transaxle” in the
“OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE” section.
Odometer / Illumination Control
Setting
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position, the display (D) shows the
odometer.
If you turn the indicator selector knob (2)
clockwise or counterclockwise, the dis-
play will change to the illumination control
setting.
Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.

NOTE Your vehicle uses the air condi-
tioning refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly
called “R-134a”. R-134a replaced R-12
around 1993 for automotive applications.
Other refrigerants are available, including
recycled R-12, but only R-134a should be
used in your vehicle.
IMPORTANT Using the wrong refriger-
ant may damage your air conditioning sys-
tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or re-
place the R-134a with other refrigerants.AUTOMATIC HEATING

If you do not use the air conditioner for
a long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain op-
timum performance and durability of your
air conditioner, it needs to be run peri-
odically. Operate the air conditioner at
least once a month for one minute with
the engine idling. This circulates the re-
frigerant and oil and helps protect the in-
ternal components.
Your air conditioner is equipped with air
filters. Clean or replace them as specified
in the “Maintenance Schedule” in the “IN-
SPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion. Have this job done by your Fiat Deal-
ership as the lower glove box must be
lowered for this job.
