TRIP COMPUTER

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Trip computer is used to display

information on car operation when the

ignition device is at MAR.
The Trip computer comprises:

Instantaneous info

: displays

the "Range" and "Instantaneous

consumption" parameters.

"

Trip A

" displays the following

values: “Distance travelled”, “Journey

time”, “Average fuel consumption” and

“Average speed”.

"

Trip B

" displays the following

values: “Distance travelled”, “Journey

time”, “Average fuel consumption” and

“Average speed”.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” monitor the car's

"complete missions" (trips) separately

from each other. The “Trip B” function

may be excluded.

The "Range" is also calculated and

displayed with the car at a standstill

and the engine running.

“Trip A” / “Trip B” Reset

Both functions can be reset (reset

means start of a new journey). To reset

the values, press and hold down the

OK button

on the steering wheel

F0Y0659C

NOTE "Range" and "Current

Consumption" values cannot be reset.

VALUES DISPLAYED

External temperature
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Indicates the temperature outside the

car passenger compartment.
Range
This indicates the approximate distance

which can be travelled with the amount

of fuel present in the tank. The range

is also calculated and displayed when

the car is stationary with the engine

running.
The display will show “- - - -” if the

range value is less than 50 km (or 30

mi).

WARNING The range value variation

can be affected by several factors:

driving style, type of route (motorway,

urban, mountain roads, etc.),

conditions of use (load, tyre pressures,

etc.). Trip planning must therefore take

the above into account.

Travel Distance
This value shows the distance travelled

from the start of the new journey.
Average fuel 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

display will show "- - - -" if the car is

parked with the engine running.
Average Speed
This value shows the car's average

speed based on the overall time

elapsed since the start of the new

journey.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

64

Time elapsed since the start of the new

journey.

WARNING 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 mission.

"OK" BUTTON

Brief button press

: display various

values.

Long button press

“automatic” resetting, when the “trip

distance” reaches 99999.9 km or when

the “travel time” reaches 999:59 (999

hours and 59 minutes);

after disconnecting/reconnecting the

battery;

“Trip B reset”, depending on the

stored settings (see the description of

the “Vehicle Settings” - “Display” menu

item in the “Display” paragraph).

EOBD SYSTEM

The EOBD system (European On Board

Diagnosis) carries out a continuous

diagnosis of the components of the car

related to emissions.

It also alerts the driver, by switching on

the

warning light on the instrument

panel, when these components are no

longer in peak condition (see “Warning

lights and messages” chapter).

The aim of the EOBD system

(European On Board Diagnosis) is to:

monitor system efficiency;

indicate an increase in emissions;

indicate the need to replace

damaged components.

The car also has a connector, which

can interface with appropriate tools,

that makes it possible to read the error

codes stored in the electronic control

units together with a series of specific

parameters for engine operation and

diagnosis.

This check can also be carried out by

the traffic police.

WARNING After eliminating the

anomaly, to check the system

completely, a Fiat Dealership is obliged

to run tests and, if necessary, road

tests which may also require a long

journey.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES

WARNING The warning light switches on together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when applicable. These

indications are indicative and 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. In the event of a failure

indication, always refer to the contents of this chapter.

WARNING The failure indicators which are shown on the display are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious

failures. Serious faults are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning

"cycle" with a shorter duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will

stay on until the cause of the failure is eliminated.

INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID / PARKING BRAKE ON

The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few

seconds.

Low brake fluid level

The warning light turns 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 a message and a symbol are shown on the display. Restore the

brake fluid level, then check that the warning light has switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat

Dealership.

Parking brake on

The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches on when the parking brake is engaged. On certain versions,

if the car is moving the buzzer will also sound. Release the parking brake, then check that the warning light has

switched off. If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING If the warning light turns on while driving, check that the parking brake is not engaged.

EBD FAILURE

The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds. The simultaneous switching on of the

(red) and

(amber) warning lights with the engine on

indicates either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels may

suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. On certain versions a dedicated message is

displayed. Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.

red

AIRBAG FAILURE

The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few

seconds. If the warning light switches on constantly (on some versions the

SEAT BELTS REMINDER

(for versions/markets, where provided)

When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on for a few seconds (to show that the light is

working correctly), then if there are no malfunctions it should switch off. The warning light switches on constantly

with the car stationary and the driver's side or passenger side seat belt (when the passenger is present) not

fastened. The warning light will flash and a buzzer will sound if the car is in motion and the front seat belts are

not correctly fastened. In this case, fasten the seat belt. For permanent deactivation of the SBR (Seat Belt

Reminder) system buzzer, contact a Fiat Dealership. The system can be reactivated at any time using the Setup

Menu.

red

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH

The warning light turns on when the engine is overheated. On some versions the display shows the dedicated

message.

In normal driving conditions

: stop the car, switch off the engine and check that the water level in the reservoir

is not below the MIN mark. In this case, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully open the

cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir itself.

Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light (or display symbol) switches on again,

contact a Fiat Dealership.

If the car is used under demanding conditions (e.g. in high-performance driving):

slow down and, if the

warning light stays on, stop the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and slightly accelerated to

further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check that the coolant level is correct as described

above.

WARNING Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few

minutes before switching it off.

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE

During engine start

: when the key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on, but it should switch off

after a few seconds. If the warning light stays on, turn the ignition key to STOP and start the engine again. If the

warning light stays on, the effort to operate the steering wheel could be increased; steering is, however, possible.

In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

While driving

: if the warning light switches on while driving you may not have steering assistance. Although it will

still be possible to steer the vehicle, the effort needed to operate the steering wheel could be increased: contact

a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

WARNING In some circumstances, factors independent of the electric power steering could cause the warning

light on the instrument panel to switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately (should it be in motion), stop the

engine for about 20 seconds and then restart the engine. If the warning light (or, on some versions, a message

and a symbol on the display) remains on constantly, contact a Fiat Dealership.

34)

If, when the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light

does not switch on or stays on while driving, a failure may have occurred in

the restraint systems. In this case the airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in an impact or, in a lower number of cases, they may be

deployed accidentally. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

35)

A

warning light failure is signalled by continuous illumination of the

symbol on the instrument panel. In this case, any faults with the

airbag system may not be signalled. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.
