SymbolWhat It Means What To Do
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID OVERHEATING
The symbol switches on in the case of transmission
overheating, after a particularly demanding use. In this
case an engine performance limitation is carried out.Wait for the symbol to disappear with the engine off or
idling.
TOW HOOK FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the tow
hook.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible to
have the failure eliminated.
AUDIO SYSTEM FAILURE
The symbol switches on to report a failure of the audio
system.Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible to
have the failure eliminated.
SPEED LIMITER SYSTEM FAILURE
While driving, the symbol switches on to signal a Speed
Limiter system failure.Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible to
have the failure eliminated.
FUEL TANK CAP
Lights up if the fuel tank cap is open or not properly
closed.
Tighten the cap properly.
ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE FAILURE
The switching on of the symbol and the message on the
display signal a failure in the electric park brake system.
This failure may partially or completely block the car
because the park brake could remain activated even if
automatically or manually disengaged using the relevant
controls. In these circumstances, you can disengage
the park brake following the emergency disengagement
procedure described in “In Case Of Emergency.”If you are still able to drive the car (park brake is not
engaged), drive to the nearest authorized dealer and
remember, when executing any maneuvers/commands,
that the electric park brake is not operational.

Proceed as follows:
Remove connector from socket to
disconnect sensor (battery status
monitoring) installed on the negative
pole of the battery. This sensor should
never be disconnected from the pole
except if the battery is replaced.
Note:After setting the ignition to STOP
and having closed the driver side door,
wait at least one minute before
disconnecting the electrical supply from
the battery. When reconnecting the
electrical supply to the battery, make
sure that the ignition is in the STOP
mode and the driver side door is
closed.SPEED LIMITER
DESCRIPTION
This device allows the speed of the
vehicle to be limited to values which
can be set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both
with vehicle stationary and in motion.
The minimum speed that can be set is
18 mph (30mk/h).
When the device is active, the vehicle
speed depends on the pressure at the
accelerator pedal, until the
programmed speed limit is reached
(see "Speed limit programming"
paragraph).
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
The function can be activated/
deactivated on the Connect system.
Activating the device
To access the function, on the main
menu select the following items in
sequence: "Settings", "Safety", “Speed
Limiter” and “on”.
The activation of the device is signaled
by the displaying of the green symbol
along with the last speed set. The
Speed Limiter function can remain
active concurrently with the Cruise
Control system. If a speed limit below
the one indicated in the Cruise Control is selected, the Cruise Control speed
will be lowered to that of the Speed
Limiter. This function remains available
in RACE mode.SPEED LIMIT
PROGRAMMING
The speed limit can be programmed on
the Connect system.
To access the function, on the main
menu select the following items in
sequence: "Settings", "Safety" and
"Speed Limiter Set Speed".
By turning the Rotary Pad, the speed
increases by 3 mph (5 km/h), from a
minimum of 18 mph (30 km/h) to a
maximum of 112 mph (180 km/h).

EXCEEDING THE
PROGRAMMED SPEED
By fully depressing the accelerator
pedal, the programmed speed can be
exceeded even with the device active
(e.g. in the event of overtaking).
The device is disabled until the speed
drops below the set limit, after which it
reactivates automatically.
PROGRAMMED SPEED
ICON FLASHING
The programmed speed flashes in the
following cases:
when the accelerator pedal has been
fully depressed and the vehicle has
exceeded the programmed speed;
activating the system after setting a
limit below the effective speed of the
vehicle;
in the event of sharp acceleration.
DEACTIVATING THE
DEVICE
The function can be activated/
deactivated on the Connect system.
Deactivating the device
To access the function, on the main
menu select the following items in
sequence: "Settings", "Safety", “Speed
Limiter” and “off”.
Automatic deactivation of the
device
The device deactivates automatically in
the event of fault in the system. In this
case, contact an authorized dealer.
Temporary signal loss
When the devices loses the signal, the
white symbol without the speed
indication lights up on the display.
System failure
When the system is in failure, the amber
symbol
lights up on the display.
ELECTRONIC SPEED
CONTROL
Electronic Speed
Control Description
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance feature that allows
the desired vehicle speed to be
maintained, without having to press the
accelerator pedal. This feature can be
used at a speed above 25 mph
(40 km/h) on long stretches of dry,
straight roads with few variations
(highways).
It is not recommended to use this
feature in city traffic.
The speed control buttons are located
on the left side of the steering wheel.
Note: To ensure correct operation, the
speed control is designed to deactivate
if more than one function is operated
simultaneously. In this case, the system
can be reactivated by pushing the
on/off button
and setting the
desired speed.
While driving downhill, the system could
brake the vehicle to keep the set speed
the same.

Warning!
Speed Control can be dangerous where
the system cannot maintain a constant
speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for
the conditions, and you could lose control
and have an accident. Do not use Speed
Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
Activating
To activate the Electronic Speed
Control System, push the on/off button
location on the left side of the steering
wheel.
The activation of the system is signaled
by the white warning light
switching
on the instrument cluster. The Electronic Speed Control function
can remain active at the same time as
the Speed Limiter System. If a speed
limit below the one indicated in the set
speed control, the speed control speed
will be lowered to that of the Speed
Limiter.
This function remains available in RACE
mode.
Note:
The system cannot be engaged
in FIRST or REVERSE gear. It is
advisable to engage it in THIRD gear or
higher if using the Autostick feature.
Warning!
Leaving the Speed Control system on
when not in use is dangerous. You could
accidentally set the system or cause it to
go faster than you want. You could lose
control and have an accident. Always leave
the system OFF when you are not using it.
Setting The Desired
Speed
To set a desired speed, proceed as
follows:
1. Turn the Electronic Speed Control
on. 2. When the vehicle has reached the
desired speed, push the SET switch up
or down and release to activate. When
the accelerator is released, the vehicle
will keep the selected speed
automatically.
If needed (when overtaking for
instance), you can accelerate simply by
pressing the accelerator; when you
release the pedal, the vehicle goes
back to the previously set speed.
When traveling downhill with the system
active, the vehicle speed may slightly
exceed the set one.
Note:
Before pushing the SET switch,
the vehicle must be traveling at a
constant speed on a flat surface.
