General information
Available on cars with reconfigurable
multifunction display, the Trip
computer is used to display
information on vehicle operation
when the key is turned to MAR-ON.
This function comprises “General
trip” concerning the “complete
mission” of the vehicle (journey) and
“Trip B” (only available on
reconfigurable multifunction display)
concerning the partial mission of the
car; this function is included in the
general trip information (as shown in
fig. 54).Both functions can be reset
(reset - start of a new journey).
“General Trip” displays the figures
relating to:
– Range
– Distance travelled
– Average consumption
– Instantaneous consumption
– Average speed
– Trip time (driving time).“Trip B”, available on the
reconfigurable multifunction display
only, displays the figures relating to:
– Trip distance B
– Average consumption B
– Average speed B
– Trip time B (driving time).
Note “Trip B” may be disabled (see
“Activating Trip B”). “Range” cannot
be reset.

53
Values displayed
Range
This value shows the distance that
the car can still cover before needing
fuel, assuming that driving style is
unvaried. The display will show the
reading “----” when the following
events take place:
– range value lower than 50 km
(or 30 mi)
– vehicle stopped with engine
running for an extended period.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance
covered from the start of the new
mission.
Average consumption
This value shows the average
consumption from the start of the
new mission.
Instantaneous consumption
This value shows the fuel
consumption. The value is constantly
updated. “----” will appear on the
display if the vehicle is stopped with
the engine running.Average speed
This value shows the average speed
of the vehicle considering the overall
time elapsed since the start of a new
journey.
Trip time
This value shows the time elapsed
since the start of the new mission.
IMPORTANT In the absence of
information, all Trip Computer
values are displayed with “----”
instead of the value. The various
values will be counted as normal
when standard operating conditions
are restored. This will not reset any
of the values displayed before the
failure nor will it start a new trip.TRIP button fig. 53

ignition key turned to MAR-ON, it
allows the parameters described
previously to be viewed, as well as

BRAKE FLUID LOW
(red) / HANDBRAKE
ENGAGED (red)
When the key is turned to
MAR, the warning light switches on
but should switch off after a few
seconds.
Brake fluid low
The warning light switches on when
the level of the brake fluid in the
reservoir falls below the minimum
level, possibly due to a leak in the
circuit.
On some versions, the display shows
a dedicated message.
WARNING LIGHTS
AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on
together with (where the instrument
panel permits) a specific message
and/or acoustic signal. These
indications are precautionary and as
such must not be considered as
exhaustive and/or alternative to the
information contained in the Owner
Handbook, which you are advised to
read carefully in all cases. Always
refer to the information in this
section in the event of a failure
indication.
IMPORTANT The failure indications
displayed are divided into two
categories: very serious and less
serious faults.
Very serious faults prompt a
prolonged cycle of signals.
Less serious faults prompt a shorter
cycle of signals.Warning lights (or the symbol on
the display) on the instrument panel
will stay on until the cause of the
failure is eliminated.
If the
xwarning light
switches on when
travelling (together with the
message on the display on
certain versions), stop the
vehicle immediately and
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
x
Handbrake engaged
The warning light switches on when
the handbrake is engaged.
On certain versions, if the vehicle is
in motion, the warning light switches
on together with an acoustic signal.
IMPORTANT If the warning light
switches on when travelling, check
that the handbrake is not engaged.

PASSENGER AIRBAG
DEACTIVATED
(amber)
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The Fwarning light switches on
when the front passenger side airbag
is deactivated.
With the front passenger airbag
enabled, when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the Fwarning light
switches on constantly for about 4
seconds, flashes for another 4
seconds and then should switch off.
F
Failure of the F
warning light is
indicated by the
¬warning
light switching on.
In addition, the airbag system
automatically disables the
airbags on the passenger’s
side. Before proceeding,
contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the
system checked.
WARNING
AIRBAG FAILURE
(red)
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR, the
warning light switches on but should
switch off after a few seconds. The
warning light switches on constantly
if there is a fault in the airbag system.
On some versions, the display shows
a dedicated message.
¬
If the ¬warning light
does not switch on when
the key is turned to MAR or
stays on when driving, there may
be a fault with the restraint
systems. In this case, the airbags
or the pretensioners may not be
activated in the case of an
accident or (in a lesser number
of cases) they may be activated
incorrectly. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.
WARNING
The failure of the ¬
warning light is
indicated by the flashing, for
more than the normal 4
seconds, of the front passenger
airbag deactivated warning
light
F. In addition, the
airbag system automatically
disables the airbags on the
passenger’s side (front airbag
and side bags for
versions/markets, where
provided). In this case, the
¬warning light may not indicate
faults in the restraint systems.
Before proceeding, contact a
Fiat Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
