ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE

This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and begins working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.

Under normal conditions, the needle
should move to different positions of the
scale according to the conditions of use of
the car.

C - Low engine coolant temperature.

H - High engine coolant temperature.

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE

This shows the amount of fuel left in the
fuel tank.

The reserve warning light B- fig. 19 turns
on to indicate that approx. 8 litres of fuel
are left in the tank.

E - tank empty.

F - tank full (see the indications given in
paragraph “At the filling station").

Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: the gaps in fuel delivery could dam-
age the catalyst.

IMPORTANT If the needle sets at E with
warning light B flashing, it means that the
system is malfunctioning. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the system inspected.

The turning on of the warning light A-fig.
19 (together with the message shown on
the display) indicates that the coolant flu-
id temperature is too high; in this case,
stop the engine and contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.
