The driver information display in the FIAT 500 might show a flashing mileage gauge when there's a communication issue among the vehicle's different systems. If the data sent to the gauge is unclear or not properly transmitted, the FIAT's odometer could flash on and off. This problem is often linked to a low-voltage battery or incorrect jumping of the battery recently. To try and fix this, you can reset the system by disconnecting the positive and negative battery cables, leaving the battery disconnected for at least 5 minutes, and then reconnecting it. If this process doesn't solve the problem with the gauge and odometer communication, it's best to book an appointment with an authorized dealership for a "configuration alignment.

I chose to have it fixed at a local garage rather than the dealership.
