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 100 and 124°C (uphill) and between 115 and 115°C (downhill) the pointer should move in a linear fashion.

- 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.

Main functions:

The main features are summarized in the table below.

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.

On the Comfort 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 they can be displayed immediately at the Key ON.

Lighting

The display lighting is activated at the Key ON and dimmed at the "+lights"; the graphics and the indices are lit up and dimmed at the "+lights".

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 the "+ lights" condition.

Dimming

If the side lights are deactivated, the display is 100% lit up and the brightness cannot be adjusted (dimmed). The adjustment is only possible with the exterior lights on.

When the outside lights are activated, the brightness of the displays is automatically dimmed to a pre-set level and the graphics and the indices light up.

There are 8 different possible settings for the brightness of the panel and the interior of the passenger compartment in general produced using the "+" and "-" buttons in the panel on the left side of the dashboard.

The lighting brightness cannot be reduced to zero.

If the brightness is adjusted the first line of the display shows the specific message and the brightness adjustment symbols (or a number from 1 to 8) come on/go off. The maximum brightness condition is with all the symbols on (or number 8).

Example: lighting dimmer adjustment (Comfort panel)

This screen remains for 5 seconds after the last adjustment command.

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 function: "Speed limit" (selecting activation/deactivation of speed limit and selecting speed limit level).

By pressing the "MENU ESC", "+" and "-" 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.

Initial setting - instrument initialization

The tables below show the settings that can be adjusted using the set up menu and the value entered during production at the end of the line which the customer will find when they purchase the vehicle.

Comfort Panel:

Modal Panel:

Trip computer

The Trip Computer makes it possible to show information relating to the journey, consumption and distances travelled by the vehicle on the panel display. On the Comfort panel there are two Trip Computer modes (A and B) completely independent of one another and the display can be activated by pressing the TRIP button on the right steering column switch unit lever.

Only the Trip A mode is available for the Modal panel.

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

- Average fuel consumption

- Average speed

- Trip time

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 the maximum value [9999.9 km (mi) for the Comfort panel or 3999.9 km (mi) for the Modal panel, or when the journey time reaches 99.59 (99 hours and 59 minutes)].

- every time the battery is reconnected.

Example: distance travelled (Modal panel)

Trip Exit

To exit the Trip Computer press the "MENU ESC" 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. The unit of measurement [km/l] cannot be selected for the Modal panel.

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. The unit of measurement [km/l] cannot be selected for the Modal panel.

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.

Planned maintenance signal (comfort panel only)

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 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 "MENU ESC" 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).

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.

Display of messages (comfort panel)

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 corresponding to the fault

- the message 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 "MENU ESC" button.

At the end of the display of the message and if the fault persists, the warning light 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

Display of messages (modal panel)

The following messages are displayed:

- Exceeding of speed limit (for 10 seconds)

- Inertia switch operation: the relevant message is shown in place of the milometer and it remains there.

Example: inertia switch operation (Modal panel)

Other functions

Clock

The reading in hours/minutes remains at both the Key ON and the Key OFF. The time adjustment is an item in the set-up menu.

The "24h" mode (0-23h) or "12h" mode (1-12h) can be selected for the Comfort panel using the set up. "AM" and "PM" are not displayed. The Modal panel can only display the "24h" mode as there is no special item in the set up menu.

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+" (the light beam is raised) and "CAF-" (the light beam is lowered) buttons. 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.

Display of the outside temperature (comfort panel only)

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" (comfort panel only)

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:

- 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 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 driver can temporarily deactivate the warning cycle (the warning is activated again at every Key ON) by fastening the front seat belt(s) before the Key ON, holding it (them) for at least 20 secs with the key ON and undoing it (them).

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) using the Modal panel or through a special item in the set up menu on the Comfort panel. 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 "F XXX" or "Follow me XXXs" are shown on the panel display where:

- "F" (for the Modal panel) or "Follow me" (for the Comfort panel) is the "Follow Me Home" function message

- "XXX" is the number of seconds set for the lighting 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 (Modal 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.

Example: speed limit (Modal panel)

Signalling of danger / warning: "doors / boot open"

In order to warn the driver that one or more of the doors or the boot is open, the warning light remains on until all the vehicle doors and the boot are properly shut. A buzzer is also activated with the doors open and the vehicle moving.

On the Comfort version a corresponding message also appears on the display as soon as one of the doors is opened.

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
