There are 2 18-way connectors at the back of the panel.

The table below shows the display mode of the various functions in the centre display (High version)

Interaction between instrument panel display and Connect

On the FIAT STILO the setting logic for some of the functions varies according to whether or not the Connect system is fitted; the different logics are listed below:

• Instrument panel with matrix display which can be reconfigured and dashboard without Connect: all the vehicle settings (setup menu) and the trip coputer and dimming functions are shown on the instrument panel matrix display. The display, memorizing and processing are carried out by the instrument panel.
• Instrument panel with matrix display which can be reconfigured and dashboard with Connect: all the vehicle settings (setup menu) are carried out at the Connect. The display is at the Connect. The memorizing and processing are carried out by the instrument panel (all the setting information is transmitted via the B - CAN network).

There are, however, the following exceptions:

• Speed limit: the setting can be made at either the Connect or the NQS. The warning that the limit has been exceeded is shown on the NQS.
• Dusk sensitivity: with vehicle stationary (speed below 4 Km/h) the dusk sensor can be set by either the NQS or the Connect; with the vehicle moving (speed above 4 Km/h) only by the steering column switch unit
• Planned maintenance (service): the memorizing and processing are conducted by the instrument panel. The NQS shows the expiry period is being reached, the Connect shows all information, on request.
• Trip computer: the relevant information can be displayed at the NQS (one at a time) and at the Connect (all together on a single screen). The settings can be made at either the NQS or the Connect.
• Dimming: the display is shown at the NQS.

In any case, the warning messages are always displayed on the NQS only.

The table below summarizes the setting logics

SERVICE function

On both versions (petrol and diesel) the SERVICE information is displayed, i.e. the length of time, expressed in days or Km, remaining until the next Service is due to be carried out.

The SERVICE display appears automatically at the key on when there are 2000 Km or 30 days left until the next Service depending on which comes first.

On right hand drive versions the Km figure is converted by the panel into miles.

The SERVICE display is only shown at the key on each time the km / mi or days value is equal to or less than the figure given in the table below:

From the moment the value of 0 Km, 0 mi or 0 days is reached, the message 'SERVICE DUE 0 Km (0 mi)' or 'SERVICE DUE in 0 DAYS id displayed at each key on

Each time the service period expires, the following should be carried out using the Examiner:

• 'Km' (or mi) counter or day counter rest to the starting value (20,000 Km and 365 days)
• Memorizing that Service has taken place

If the Instrument Panel is being replaced, the following should be done using the Examiner:

• Km or mi reading on old panel total milometer reset.
• Number of services carried out read and recorded in new panel.
• Km / mi and days to next service read and recorded in new panel.

If the battery is accidentally disconnected, the data stored in the panel memory are not lost.

Low Instrument Panel warning lights and signals

The fault signals displayed by the relevant warning light in the panel coming on are accompanied by specific warning messages such as, for example: 'SUPPLIES NEEDED, 'COOLANT OVERHEATING, FRONT LIGHT FAILURE, etc.

In addition to the messages linked to the warning light in the panel coming on, if the fault is serious the following message might also be displayed: 'SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE (such as, for example after signalling 'COOLANT OVERHEATING).

The symbol of a monkey-wrench appearing in the multi-function display means: 'GO TO THE WORKSHOP.

There is a corresponding acoustic signal (buzzer) for each failure display.

Some examples of warning lights coming on the instrument panel and the relevant messages on the display are given below:
