DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS -> INSTRUMENTS for Your Fiat Punto SUV 1999-2010

INSTRUMENTS  
Instrument background and type can change according to versions.  
SPEEDOMETER (SPEED INDICATOR)  
It indicates the car speed.  
REV. COUNTER  
The rev. counter shows engine rpm. The needle pointed to the danger  
area (red on certain versions) indicates excessive high engine speed. Do  
not drive for long periods with the needle in this area.  
F0I0229m  
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system gradually shuts off  
the flow of fuel when the engine is “over-revving” resulting in a gradual  
loss of engine power.  
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate a gradual or  
sudden highering of the speed.  
This is normal as it takes place during normal operation, for example  
when activating the climate control system or the fan. In particular a slow  
change in the speed preserves the battery charge.  
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE  
F0I0042m  
The needle indicates the amount of fuel left in the tank.The reserve  
warning light (A) turns on (on certain versions together with the message  
shown on the reconfigurable multifunction display) to indicate that 5 to 7  
litres of fuel are left in the tank.  
E - tank empty.  
F - tank full (see contents of “At the filling station” paragraph in this  
chapter).  
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps in fuel delivery  
could damage the catalyst.  
IMPORTANT If the needle reaches the (E) with warning light (A) flashing  
this means that there is a failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership.  
F0I0041m

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 hover around the middle of  
the scale according to the working conditions.  
C - low engine coolant temperature.  
H - excessive engine coolant temperature.  
F0I0041m  
The turning on of the warning light (B) (on certain versions together with  
the message shown on the reconfigurable multifunction display) indicates  
that the coolant fluid temperature is too high; in this case, stop the  
engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.  
If the needle reaches the red area, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
