Indicators
Speedometer
The instrument panel increases the actual speed value slightly (6% + 1 km/h but this increase also depends on the tyres fitted on the vehicle) for safety reasons and never exceeds the maximum tolerance recommended in the directives of the countries where the vehicle is sold.
The increase is calculated according to the panel.
At the Key ON the indicator is at 0 (zero) km/h (or mph) and the instrument panel then displays the vehicle speed information.
Rev counter
At the Key ON the indicator is at 0 (zero) RPM and the instrument panel then displays the engine rpm information.
There is also a logic to prevent fluctuations of the rev counter with the engine idling.
Fuel level gauge
2 seconds after the Key ON the indicator shows the fuel level information.
The reading at the start of the "fuel reserve" is red and the warning light is produced by the amber LED in the indicator graphics. The calibration of the gauge ensures maximum precision at the start of the red sector.
Engine coolant temperature gauge
2 seconds after the Key ON the indicator shows the engine coolant temperature information.
The reading at the start of the "danger zone" is red and the warning light is produced by the red LED in the indicator graphics. The calibration of the gauge ensures maximum precision at the start of the red sector.
Behaviour of the indicator:
- If the temperature is below 50°C the indicator is at the first reference on the scale.
- For temperatures of between 50 and 80°C the indicator moves in a linear fashion.
- For temperatures between 80 - 115°C (normal operation), the pointer should remain in a stable position in the centre of the scale.
- For temperatures between 115 and 124°C (uphill) and between 120 and 115°C (downhill) the pointer moves in a linear fashion between the centre of the scale and the start of the red danger sector (124 - 130°C).
- For temperatures of 124°C (uphill) the pointer remains at the start of the red danger zone on the scale.
- For temperatures above 124°C the coolant overheating warning light lights up and, at the same time, the pointer is positioned at the end of the scale.

Initial check
At every Key ON a check starts on all the electronic control units present on board the vehicle with some of the warning lights in the panel coming on. The standard screen is displayed on the panel.
If the check stage detects any faults, they are displayed 5 seconds after the Key ON.
Some signals are an exception (e.g. "Insufficient engine oil pressure" and/or "Inertia switch operated" and/or the robotized gearbox safety signals) and they can be displayed immediately at the Key ON.
The robotized gearbox safety signals are as follows:
- Press brake pedal
- Press brake pedal and repeat manoeuvre
- Gear not available
- Reduce the gear changes
- Manual mode not available
- Automatic mode not available
- Starting delayed
- Clutch overheating, see manual
- Place gear lever in N
- Manouevure not allowed
Lighting
The lighting for the Comfort display is activated at the Key-ON and dimmed at night (night mode); the lighting for the Matrix display is activated and dimmed at the Key-ON (day mode and night mode).
The lighting of the graphics and the pointers, on the other hand, is activated and dimmed at night (night mode).
If there are failure messages (except for "Ice danger" and feedback messages), the brightness of the display is automatically set at the maximum daytime value even in nightime conditions.
Brightness sensor (only for versions with bright graphics)
The control panels with bright graphics have a brightness sensor to management the vehicle on board lighting appropriately. The brightness sensor is incorporated in the control panel.
The control panel distinguishes daytime (day mode) from nightime (night mode) conditions depending on the status of the side lights (activated / deactivated) and the sensor signalling.
If there is no sensor (versions with dark graphics) the control panel distinguishes daytime from nightime conditions depending on the side lights status only.
Dimming
For the Comfort panel in daytime conditions (day mode), the display is lit to 100% and the brightness cannot be adjusted (dimmed). The adjustment is only possible in nightime conditions (night mode).
The brightness of the display can be adjusted (dimmed) for the Matrix panel in daytime conditions as well.
In nightime conditions, the brightness of the display is automatically dimmed to a pre-set level and the graphics and the pointers light up. The driver can adjust the brightness of the panel, the radio, the Connect Nav+ and the automatic climate control (to 8 settings) via an item in the setup menu.
The lighting brightness cannot be reduced to zero.
If the brightness is adjusted the display shows the specific message and the brightness adjustment symbols come on/go off. With all the symbols lit up, the brightness is at the maximum level.
The effect of the adjustment is immediately visible.
Set-up menu
The set up menu functions can only be activated with the vehicle stationary except for the following functions: "Dimming" and "Speed limit" (selecting activation/deactivation of speed limit and selecting speed limit level).
By pressing the "MODE", "CAF/MODE+" and "CAF/MODE-" buttons in the left control panel it is possible to carry out the various operations of selecting/adjusting/settings the scales displayed. The standard screen is restored after 1 minute if nothing is done.

Trip computer
The Trip Computer shows vehicle trip, consumption and mileage details on the control panel display.
Two types of fully independent Trip Computer modes (A and B) are available with the display activated by pressing the TRIP button on the right steering wheel stalk switch.
The data display mode follows a preset order:
Trip a:
- Range
- Distance travelled
- Average fuel consumption
- Instant fuel consumption
- Average speed
- Trip time
Trip b:
- Distance travelled - B
- Average consumption - B
- Average speed - B
- Journey time - B
Trip computer parameters
The measurements displayed can be expressed according to the Decimal Metric System (km, km/h, km/l, l/100km) or the Imperial System (mi, mph, mpg) as selected by the driver (see set-up menu).
The Trip Computer is zeroed:
- manually by the user by pressing the TRIP button for a while;
- automatically when the distance travelled reaches 9999.9 km (miles) or when the journey time reaches 99:59 (99 hours and 59 minutes).
- every time the battery is reconnected.
Example: distance travelled (Matrix panel)
Trip Exit:
It is possible to exit the TRIP function automatically once all the measurements are displayed or by pressing the MODE button for more than 2 seconds.
Trip Computer parameters:
Range [km] or [miles]: this indicates the estimated distance that can be travelled with the fuel currently in the tank based on the same style of driving being maintained.
Distance travelled [km] or [miles]: indicates the distance travelled by the vehicle from the "start of the journey", i.e. when the driver reset the equipment. The reading is consistent with the display on the total mileage recorder. The display is updated every 0.1 km
Average fuel consumption [km/l] or [l/100km] or [mpg]: indicates the average consumption from the start of the journey.
Instant fuel consumption [km/l] or [l/100km] or [mpg]: indicates the constantly updated fuel consumption. This makes the driver aware of differences in fuel consumption linked to driving styles.
Average speed [km/h] or [mph]: it is calculated from the start of the journey.
Journey time [hh:mm]: this indicates the time elapsed since the start of the journey between 0:00 and 99:59, with a resolution and update every minute. When the maximum possible value is reached, the counting is automatically zeroed.
Programmed maintenance signalling (service)
When the programmed maintenance (service) is close, the message "Service" is automatically displayed at the key on (after the initial check procedure) followed by the number of kilometres (or miles) until the next service is due.
The information shown on the display can also be requested by the user by selecting a special item in the set-up menu, irrespective of the interval: the kilometres (or miles) remaining are shown on the display. In this case the "Spanner" symbol does not appear.
There are 6 services that are part of the Planned Maintenance Programme designed in such a way that each of them is carried out 30000 km (or 18000 miles) after the previous one.
Automatic display:
The first message is automatically displayed once only at the Key ON if the number of kilometres (or miles) until the next service is 2000 km or less or the equivalent in miles.
Later on, the message is only displayed once at the key on at the following partial levels: 1800, 1600, 1400, 1200, 1000, 800, 600, 400, 200, 100, 50 km or the equivalent figures in miles and they are not displayed during the intervening period.
When the limit is reached (0 km/mi) the message is displayed at every Key ON for the next 1000 km after which it no longer appears.
The display can be interrupted by pressing the "MODE" button.
Display on request:
The interval can be displayed on request any time by means of a specific item in the set up menu.
Display after the 6 services.
Once all 6 services are over no message is displayed automatically and the relevant item can no longer be selected from the set up menu (it is no longer activated).
Reset
At each service interval, the Service personnel should:
- reset the "km" (or miles) counter to the starting value using the diagnostic equipment.
- memorize that the Service has been carried out; a record of the last service carried out should remain with details of: service date/ service no. carried out / total mileage.
This information is preserved in the memory even if the vehicle battery is disconnected.
Control panel replacement
If the instrument panel is being replaced, the Service personnel should:
- reset the km/mi in the milometer;
- read the number of services carried out and enter them into the new panel;
- read the km/mi until next service counter and enter information into the new panel;
- read the last service date and rewrite it in the new control panel.
The PROXI alignment must always be carried out when the panel is replaced.
If the alignment is not carried out the milometer flashes and the panel does not work.
Fault diagnosis
The diagnosis of the instrument panel can be carried out using the diagnostic equipment available in the network (Examiner or Examiner plus).
The diagnostic socket is located in the EOBD, the line used is the B-CAN line.
The following operations are included in the diagnosis:
- display of possible errors present in the instrument panel
- align the PROXI with the B-CAN (memorizing of specific vehicle parameters), if the instrument panel is being replaced
- memorize the milometer mileage
- set the mileage for the SERVICE function
- carry out the active diagnosis in order to check the operation of the instrument panel.
Gear display (robotized gearbox)
On versions with a robotized gearbox the display shows the gear engaged:
N = neutral;
R = reverse;
1 = first gear;
2 = second gear;
3 = third gear;
4 = fourth gear;
5 = fifth gear;
6 = sixth gear (where present).
The activation of the automatic operation is signalled by the word AUTO and the gear engaged shown on the display
The activation of the ECO function is signalled by the letter E in the display.
The activation of the SPORT function is signalled by the letter S in the display.
Turbo pressure display (for matrix panel only)
When enabled and where the engine is turbocharged, the (standard sports screen) display appears after the check stage at the key-on (5 secs.) as an alternative to the date.
The display of the turbopressure or the date can be selected using a specific item in the vehicle setup menu.
Display of messages
The messages on the display are divided into 4 different classes:
- high priority faults
- low priority faults
- information (e.g. doors/boot open)
- feedback (e.g. ASR on/off).
When faults occur on the vehicle, the following is shown on the display:
- the warning light (and/or the symbol in the Matrix panel display) corresponding to the fault;
- the message (where present) corresponding to the description of the fault and/or the action to be taken by the driver.
For more important signals there is also a buzzer at the same time as the display of the message.
All the information contained in the dedicated message display area is replaced with information relating to the fault.
The messages reappear at every Key ON until the cause of the malfunction is solved. In any case, the display can be interrupted by the driver pressing the "MODE" button.
At the end of the display of the message and if the fault persists, the warning light or the symbol in the Matrix panel display remains on.
If several faults are present simultaneously, the display shows each of the messages in a rolling fashion.
Faults that require a check with the engine on:
The following signals can only be displayed with the engine running:
- "Insufficient engine oil pressure" message
- "Check engine" message
- "Alternator failure" symbol in Matrix display
Other functions
Clock
The hours/minutes reading is shown at the key-ON.
The time adjustment is an item in the set-up menu.
It is also possible to select the 24hour mode (0-23h) or the 12hour mode (1-12h) from the setup menu. "AM" and "PM" are not displayed.
Headlamp alignment corrector
There are 4 positions for the vertical adjustment of the headlamps in the headlamp alignment correction function.
These 4 positions are produced using the CAF/MODE+ (the light beam is raised) and the CAF/MODE- (the light beam is lowered) buttons when the setup menu is not activated. an electric motor located inside the headlamp turns the parabolas automatically.
The actual position of the headlamp is signalled to the control panel by the headlamp angle symbol and by the corresponding number (from 0 to 3). The buttons are only activated at the key On and with the dipped headlamps on.
- the function is disabled at the Key OFF and the panel memorizes the position of the headlamp alignment corrector. When the dipped headlamps are no longer activated, the movement is disabled and the current position of the headlamp parabolas is maintained.
- the "headlamp alignment corrector" symbol is lit up and the number for the current position on the instrument panel display is shown at the Key ON if the dipped headlamps are on.
- the symbol and the number are off and the function is deactivated when the dipped headlamps are turned off.
Outside temperature display
The outside temperature reading (if the sensor is present) is guaranteed in standard screen conditions.
The unit of measurement adopted can be selected from the set up menu: degrees Centigrade (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F).
Signalling of danger / warning: "ice"
In order to warn the driver of the possible presence of ice on the road surface, if the outside temperature is less than or equal to 3 °C, the following is shown on the Comfort type panel display:
- "ice danger" symbol (until the outside temperature reaches 6°C once again)
- the warning message
- the outside temperature flashing (for the duration of the message).
The signalling cycle only takes place once after the outside temperature is recognized to be 3°C and is only repeated if the temperature reaches the value 6°C and then returns again to below 3°C.
Seat belt reminder
First warning cycle: signalling via warning light:
The "seat belts" warning light signals that the seat belt is not fastened (driver''s or passenger side) coming on constantly from the Key ON.
Warning cycle: signalling via warning light + buzzer:
The warning light starts to flash and the buzzer sounds continuously for 6 secs and then intermittently for 90 secs if one of the following conditions is verified:
- Time elapsed 50 secs and vehicle speed above 10 km/h
- Vehicle speed above 20 km/h
- Distance travelled more than 400 m
If the seat belts are fastened during the cycle, the warning cycle is automatically interrupted and is only repeated if the seat belt not fastened condition is detected once again. The cycle is also interrupted when reverse gear is engaged (the warning light only remains on constantly) and is only repeated when the seat belt not fastened condition is detected once again and the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h.
Warning cycle exclusion mode:
The user can deactivate the warning cycle permanently only with the aid of the Technical Service dept. The deactivation procedure must be performed using a diagnostic instrument (Examiner) in communication with the control panel.
Noone can deactivate the signal issued by the warning light on the dashboard. This is always present (fixed light) if the seat belt is unfastened.
Warning cycle reactivation method:
The driver can reactivate the warning cycle (if it is permanently deactivated) through intervention from the Aftersales Service Department or through a special item in the set up menu.
This item disappears once the warning cycle is reactivated.
Follow me home function
This function makes it possible to light up the vehicle exterior (dipped headlamps) for a timed period even with the vehicle switched off (to get home, for security purposes, etc.).
The words Follow me XXXs are shown on the control panel display where XXX are the number of seconds for the lighting set using the steering column switch unit. A maximum of 7 steering column switch unit impulses are permitted (210 seconds).
The display persists for about 20 seconds from the last impulse unless the function is deactivated (using the steering column switch unit).
Example: Follow Me Home (Comfort panel)
Speed limit function
A speed limit (with a range of between 30 and 200 km/h in 5 km/h steps; or between 20 and 125 mph in 5 mph steps) can be set and, if it is exceeded, the driver is notified.
The message disappears when the warning cycle is over and/or when the speed of the vehicle goes below 5 km/h (or the equivalent value in mph) in relation to the speed limit set.
For Arab Countries there is an additional, fixed signal (that cannot be set) when the speed limit of 120 km/h is exceeded.
Example: speed limit (Comfort panel)
Signalling of danger / warning: doors / boot / bonnet open
In order to warn the driver that one or more of the doors or the boot or the bonnet is open, the warning light remains on until all the vehicle doors, the boot and the bonnet are properly shut.
A buzzer is also activated with the doors open and the vehicle moving.
A corresponding message also appears on the display as soon as one of the doors is opened.
Dpf system
On vehicles equipped with this system (DPF) certain operating conditions may occur on diesel engines that will have the following impact on the customer:
- Particle filter blocked: the dedicated warning light is activated and a special message appears on the display
- Engine oil in poor condition: the minimum engine oil pressure warning light flashes with a specific message in the display
Led fault diagnosis
There is a fault diagnosis for the LEDs for the following warning lights (where fitted): the panels memorize and transmit the status (ON/OFF) of the warning lights and whether or not there is a fault via the CAN:
- Handbrake applied / insufficient brake fluid level / EBD failure
- ABS failure
- ESP system intervention / failure
- AIR BAG failure
- Passenger AIR BAG deactivation
- Seat belts not fastened (SBR)
- Electric steering failure (for Comfort panel only, there is a symbol in the Matrix panel)
