IMPORTANT If the needle moves to
the beginning of the scale
(low temperature) with the
overheating warning light A on, this
indicates a fault in the system. If this
is the case, contact a Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
The needle may also approach the
red section when travelling too
slowly in a very hot climate. In this
case, it is best to stop for a while
and stop the engine.
Then restart and accelerate lightly.

ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
fig. 37-38
If warning light A switches on in the
instrument panel, this indicates
overheating of the engine coolant.
In normal operating conditions, the
needle may move to various
positions within the scale according
to the vehicle usage conditions and
the management of the engine
cooling system performed
automatically by the system itself.
However, it should not move to the
red danger zone.

F0X0301m
IMPORTANT If the indicator shows
that the tank is empty and the
reserve warning light A-fig. 35-36
flashes, this indicates a fault in the
system. On some versions, the same
fault indication is provided by scale
C, which flashes on the display. If
this is the case, contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.

30
COMPASS fig. 41
Some versions may be equipped
with a compass A for navigation.
This instrument indicates the
correct direction by switching on
red LEDs in the scale. The most
important cardinal points are
marked on the scale:
N = North, S = South,
E = East, W = West plus
NW = North-West,
NE = North-East,
SW = South-West,
SE = South-East.
IMPORTANT The indication
provided by the compass must only
be considered as an aid for the
driver. It should not encourage the
driver to head towards and travel
through unknown places and/or
regions, relying solely on this
navigation instrument.
IMPORTANT Strong magnetic fields
(mobile phones, radio-frequency
aerials etc.) may cause the compass
to provide incorrect information.

ROLL AND PITCH METERS
fig. 41
Some versions may feature a roll
meter B and pitch meter C.
The roll and pitch meters provide
indications on a scale with steps of
10 degrees, from +40 to -40
degrees.
When the vehicle is stationary
(acceleration of less than 0.18 G) the
indication will correspond to the
angle of the vehicle itself.
IMPORTANT The indication
provided by the roll and pitch
meters must only be considered as
an additional indication, not as
“control” of the vehicle. The driver
is always responsible or controlling
the vehicle in all circumstances.
The risk of rollover is
present even if the
vehicle features roll and pitch
meters. Situations which are
dangerous for other road users
and for yourself should
therefore be avoided.
