FLASHING
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (1st unstable position) fig. 60
regardless of the position of the
ring nut. The
warning light
switches on in the instrument
panel.
AUTOMATIC MAIN
BEAM HEADLIGHTS
In order not to dazzle other road
users, the lights are automatically
deactivated when approaching
vehicles travelling in the opposite
direction or when following a car
travelling in the same direction.
The system is activated with the
menu item and by rotating the light
selector to the AUTO position.When the main beam headlights
are activated for the first time,
pulling the stalk to turn them on
activates the function and the iconis displayed; if the main beam
headlights are actually on, the
relevant blue warning light
is
displayed as well.
If the driving speed is over 40 km/h
and the function is activated, pulling
the stalk again to the main beam
headlight position deactivates
the function.
If the driving speed is below 15
km/h and the function is activated,
the function switches the main
beam headlights off. Pulling the
stalk again to the main beam
headlight position is interpreted as
a request for main beam headlights
constantly on, therefore the blue
warning light
on the panel
switches on and the main beam
headlights are constantly on until
the speed exceeds 40 km/h again.
The function is activated again
automatically when 40 km/h is
exceeded
.If the stalk is pulled again in this
condition, to request main beam
headlight deactivation, the function
remains off and the main beam
headlights switch off.
Rotate the ring nut to the position
fig. 58 to deactivate the
automatic function.

Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the
steering wheel fig. 62 for more than
two seconds.
AUTOMATIC
HEADLIGHT SENSOR
(dusk sensor)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
It detects variations in brightness
outside the vehicle depending
on the light sensitivity setting: the
greater the sensitivity, the less
outside light needed to activate the
exterior lights.
The sensitivity of the dusk sensor is
adjusted by means of the "Setup
menu" of the display.

Activation
Turn the ring nut to position
fig.
63: this turns the side lights and the
dipped beam headlights on
simultaneously and automatically
depending on the exterior
brightness conditions.
Deactivation
On the sensor’s deactivation
command, the main beam
headlights will switch off, followed
by the side lights after
approximately 10 seconds.
The sensor is not capable of
detecting the presence of fog.
Therefore, in these circumstances,
the lights have to be turned on
manually.
WARNING
23) The daytime running lights are
an alternative to dipped beam
headlights for driving during the
daytime. They are compliant in
countries where is it obligatory to
have lights on during the day
and permitted in those where it is
not obligatory. Daytime running
lights cannot replace dipped
beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The
use of daytime running lights is
governed by the highway code of
the country in which you are
driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
24) The system is based on
recognition via a camera.
Particular environmental
conditions may affect the correct
recognition of traffic conditions.
Therefore, the driver is always
responsible for the correct use of
the main beam headlights in
compliance with the laws in force.
Rotate the ring nut to the
fig.
58 position to deactivate the
automatic function.25) Should the camera tilt too much
due to a load variation, the system
may not work temporarily to allow
the camera to perform an
autocalibration.

RAIN SENSOR
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The rain sensor is located behind
the rear view mirror in contact with
the windscreen and has the
purpose of automatically adjusting
the frequency of the windscreen
wiper strokes depending on the
intensity of the rain during
intermittent operation.
IMPORTANT Keep the glass in the

Move the right lever down by one
click (position B).
The activation of the sensor is
signalled by a "stroke" to show that
the command has been acquired.
Turn the control F to increase
the rain sensor sensitivity.
The increasing of the rain sensor
sensitivity is signalled by a "stroke"
to show that the command has
been acquired.If the windscreen washer is used
with the rain sensor activated,
the normal washing cycle is
performed, after which the rain
sensor resumes its normal
automatic operation.
Deactivation fig. 64
Move the lever from position B or
turn the ignition key to OFF. The
next time the vehicle is started
(ignition key in ON position), the
sensor is not reactivated even if the
lever is still in position B. To activate
the sensor, move the lever to
position A or C and then back to
position B or turn the ring nut
for adjusting the sensitivity. Rain
sensor activation will be indicated
by at least one wiper “stroke” even
if the windscreen is dry.
The rain sensor is capable of
recognising the difference between
day and night and making the
necessary adjustments
automatically.
26)
HEADLIGHT WASHERS
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The headlight washers are
“retractable”, i.e.: they are located
inside the front bumper and they
are activated when (with dipped
beams on) the windscreen washer
is operated.
IMPORTANT Check the correct
condition and cleanliness of nozzles
at regular intervals.
IMPORTANT
3) Do not use the screen wiper to
remove layers of snow or ice
from the windscreen. In such
conditions, the windscreen wiper
may be subjected to excessive
stress and the motor cut-out
switch, which prevents operation
for a few seconds, may intervene.
If operation is not restored,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

unnecessary blade movements.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic driving aid
that allows you to drive at a
speed of above 30 km/h on long
and straight dry roads with few
driving changes (e.g. motorways)
at a preset speed without having
to press the accelerator pedal.
It is therefore not recommended
to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it
in town.
Switching the device
on
Turn ring nut A fig. 66 - fig. 67 to
ON or
(according to the version).
The Cruise Control cannot be
engaged in 1st or reverse gear. It is
advisable to engage it in 4th or
higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the
device engaged, the vehicle speed
may slightly exceed the stored one.When the device is activated the
warning light
comes on together
with the relevant message on the
instrument panel.

Storing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A fig. 66 - fig. 67 to ON
or
(according to the version) and
press the accelerator pedal so that
the vehicle reaches the desired
speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least one second, then release it. The
vehicle speed is now stored and
you can therefore release the
accelerator pedal.
If necessary (e.g. when overtaking)
acceleration is possible by simply
pressing the accelerator pedal:
releasing the accelerator pedal the
car will return to the speed stored
previously.
Restoring the stored
speed
If the device has been deactivated,
for example by depressing the
brake or clutch pedal, the stored
speed can be restored as follows:
❒accelerate progressively until a speed
close to that stored is reached;
❒engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
❒press button B fig. 66 - fig. 67.
Increasing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator
and storing the new speed reached
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each activation of the lever
corresponds to an increase in
speed of about 1 km/h, whilst
keeping the lever upwards varies
the speed continuously.
Reducing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by switching off the device and then
storing the new speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (-)
until the new speed, which will be
stored automatically, is reached.
Each movement of the lever will
correspond to a slight reduction in
speed of about 1 km/h, while
keeping the lever held downwards
will decrease the speed
continuously.Deactivating the
device
The device can be switched off by
the driver in the following ways:
❒turning ring nut A to OFF orO
(according to the version);
❒by stopping the engine;
Deactivating the
function
The device can be switched off by
the driver in the following ways:
❒turning ring nut A to OFF orO
(according to the version);
❒pressing the button B, both with
symbolIIand symbol CANC/RES,
the system pauses;
❒by stopping the engine;
❒by pressing the brake pedal or
operating the handbrake;
❒by pressing the clutch pedal;
❒requesting a gear shift with an
automatic transmission in sequential
mode;
❒with the vehicle speed below the set
limit

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

❒by pressing the accelerator pedal; in
this case the system is not actually
turned off but the acceleration
request takes priority; the Cruise
Control remains activated, without
the need to press the CANC/RES
button to restore the previous
conditions once the acceleration is
over.
The device is automatically
switched off in the following cases:
❒if the ABS or ESP systems cut in;
❒in the event of system failure.
27) 28)
SPEED LIMITER
This device allows the speed of the
car 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 30 km/h.
When the device is active, the car
speed depends on the pressure
at the accelerator pedal, until the
programmed speed limit is reached
(see "Speed limit programming"
paragraph).If necessary (in the event of
overtaking for example), the set
speed limit can be exceeded by
fully depressing the accelerator
pedal.
By gradually reducing the pressure
on the accelerator pedal, the
function will be reactivated as soon
as the car speed drops below the
set speed.
Switching the device
on
To activate the device, turn ring nut
A fig. 68 to position
.
Activation of the device is indicated
by the
warning light on the
instrument panel switching on and,
on some versions, by a message
on the display plus last
programmed speed value.Speed limit
programming
The speed limit can be
programmed without necessarily
activating the device.
To store a speed value higher than
that displayed, move stalk A
upwards (+). Each movement of the
stalk corresponds to an increase
in speed of about 1 km/h, while
keeping the stalk held upwards will
increase the speed with an
increment of 5 km/h.
To store a value lower than that
displayed, move stalk A
downwards (–). Each movement of
the stalk corresponds to a
decrease in speed of about 1 km/h,
while keeping the stalk held
downwards a decrease of 5 km/h is
obtained.

Activating/
deactivating the
device
Press the CANC RES button to
activate/deactivate the device.
The activation of the device is
indicated by the
warning light on
the instrument panel switching on.
The deactivation of the function
is instead indicated by the
symbol on the display.
Exceeding the
programmed speed
By fully depressing the accelerator
pedal, the programmed speed
can be exceeded even with the
device active.
IMPORTANT A slight hardening of
the accelerator pedal is perceived
when the end of travel is reached.
This is to intentionally signal to
the driver that the speed control
system is being deactivated.
When the programmed speed limit
is reached by fully depressing the
accelerator pedal, it is normal to
perceive increased resistance
on the pedal itself.In this case the device is
deactivated temporarily and the set
speed flashes on the display.
Reducing the speed below the
programmed value reactivates the
device automatically.
IMPORTANT With the device
deactivated, the car maximum
speed is reached before the end of
travel with the load hardening.
Flashing of
programmed speed
The programmed speed flashes in
the following cases:
❒when the accelerator pedal has been
fully depressed and the car speed
has exceeded programmed speed;
❒when the device cannot reduce the
speed of the car due to the gradient
of the road;
❒in the event of sharp acceleration.
Deactivating the
device
To deactivate the device, turn ring
nutAtoO.
The deactivation of the device is
indicated by the
warning light
switching off on the instrument
panel and, on some versions, by a
message and
symbol on the
display.
Automatic
deactivation of
device
The device deactivates
automatically in the event of fault in
the system.
WARNING
27) When travelling with the device
active, never move the gear lever
to neutral.
