The set speed driving is deactivated
automatically in any of the following
ways.
When you depress the clutch pedal
(on vehicles with M/T).
When your speed slows to about
15 km/h or more below the set speed
because of a hill, etc.
When your speed slows to about
40 km/h or less.
When the active stability & traction
control (ASTC) starts operating. Refer to
“Active stability & traction control
(ASTC)”.
227)
Also, the set speed driving may be
deactivated as follow:
When the engine speed rises and
approaches the tachometer’s red zone
(the red-coloured part of the
tachometer dial).
127)
To resume the set speed
If the set speed driving is deactivated
by the condition described in “To
deactivate”, you can resume the
previously set speed by push up the
RES + switch (C) while driving at a
speed of about 40 km/h or higher.Under either of the following conditions,
however, using the switch does not
allow you to resume the previously set
speed. In these situations, repeat the
speed setting procedure:
The CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF
switch is pressed.
The ignition switch is turned OFF or
the operation mode is put in OFF.
Indicator lamp go off.
IMPORTANT
124)When you do not wish to drive at a
set speed, turn off the cruise control for
safety.
125)On vehicles with M/T, do not move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position
while driving at a set speed without
depressing the clutch pedal. The engine will
run too fast and might be damaged.126)Do not use cruise control when driving
conditions will not allow you to stay at the
same speed, such as in heavy traffic or on
roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered,
wet, slippery, on a steep downhill slope.
127)When the set speed driving is
deactivated automatically in any situation
other than those listed above, there may be
a system malfunction. Press the CRUISE
CONTROL ON/OFF switch to turn off the
cruise control and have your vehicle
inspected by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
227)On vehicles equipped with A/T,
although the set speed driving will be
deactivated when shifting to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position, never move the
selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position while driving. You would have no
engine braking and could cause a serious
accident.

REAR VIEW CAMERA
(where provided)
The rear-view camera is a system that
shows the view behind the vehicle on a
screen of the Communication System
or the DISPLAY AUDIO.
228) 229) 230)
128)
Range of view of rear-view camera
The range of view of the rear-view
camera is limited to the area shown in
the illustrations. It cannot show the both
sides and the lower part of the rear
bumper, etc. When reversing, be sure
to visually confirm safety around the
vehicle.Location of rear-view camera
The rear-view camera (A) is integrated
into the part near the rear gate handle.How to use the rear-view camera
When you place the gearshift lever or
the selector lever in the “R” position
with the ignition switch in the “ON”
position or the operation mode in ON,
the view behind the vehicle will
automatically appear on the screen of
the DISPLAY AUDIO. When you move
the gearshift lever or the selector lever
to any other position, the screen will
return to its original indication.129)
Because the rear-view camera has a
special lens, the lines on the ground
between parking spaces may not look
parallel on the screen.
In the following situations, the screen
indication may be difficult to see. There
is no abnormality.
Low light (nighttime)
When the light of the sun or the light
from a vehicle’s headlamps shines
directly into the lens
If a fluorescent light shines directly
into the lens, the screen indication may
be flicker. There is no abnormality.
If the camera is hot and is then cooled
by rain or a car wash, the lens can mist
up. This phenomenon does not indicate
a malfunction.
If the atmospheric temperature is
extremely hot or extremely cold, the

rear view camera images may not be
clear. There is no abnormality.
If a radio set is installed near the
camera, the rear view camera images
may cause electrical system
interference and the system may stop
functioning properly.
It is not possible to fully see obstacles
when the lens is dirty. If the lens
becomes contaminated by water
droplets, snow, mud, or oil, wipe off the
contamination, taking care not to
scratch the lens.
Please observe the following cautions.
Ignoring them could lead to a camera
malfunction.
Do not subject the camera to
physical shook such as striking it
strongly or throwing a thing.
Do not adhere organic substances,
waxes, oil remover, and glass cleaner to
the camera. If adhered to them,
immediately wipe off.
Do not splash the camera with
boiling water.
Never spray or splash water on the
camera or around it.
Do not disconnect, disassemble or
modify the camera.
Do not scratch the camera, as this
may cause damage to the rear view
camera images.
Reference lines on the screen
Reference lines and upper surface of
the rear bumper (A) are displayed on
the screen.
Red line (B) indicates approximately
50 cm behind the rear bumper.
Two Green lines (C) indicate
approximately 20 cm outside of the
vehicle body
Short transverse lines (1 to 3)
indicate distance from the rear bumper.
1. Approximately at the rear edge of
the rear bumper 2. Approximately
100 cm 3. Approximately 200 cm
130)
Errors between the display and the
actual road surface
The reference lines for distance and
vehicle width are based on a level, flat
road surface. In the following cases,
errors are produced between the
display reference lines and the distance
on the actual road surface.
When the rear of the vehicle is
weighed down with the weight of
passengers and luggage in the
vehicle
The reference lines are displayed closer
than the actual distance. Therefore
when there is an obstacle on the
upward slope, it appears farther than its
actual position.

When solid objects are located
close to the vehicle
When solid objects are located close to
the vehicle, the displayed distance on
the screen may differ from the actual
distance.
Because the reference lines do not
contact the body of the truck, it looks
as if it would not hit the vehicle in
following illustration.
However, the vehicle may hit the truck
because the body of the truck strays
onto the course in reality.When approaching solid objects
The reference lines for distance and
vehicle width are intended to indicate
the distance to a flat object such as a
level, flat road surface. This may make
the distance to a projecting object
shown on the screen differ from the
actual distance to the projecting object.
Do not use them as a guide to
distances to solid objects.
Example: On the screen the point B
appears the nearest, then the point C

and A in order of distance. The point A
and B actually are the same distances
from the vehicle, and the point C is
farther off than the point A and B.
WARNING
228)The responsibility for parking and
other manoeuvres is always and in any
case charged to the driver. While carrying
out these manoeuvres, always make sure
that no people (especially children) or
animals are in the area concerned. The
camera is an aid for the driver, but the
driver must never allow his/her attention to
lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds. Always keep a slow speed, so as
to promptly brake in the case of obstacles.229)The rear-view camera is an assistance
system that enables the driver to check for
obstacles behind the vehicle. Its range of
view is limited, so you should not overly
depend on it. Please drive just as carefully
as you would if the vehicle did not have the
rear-view camera.
230)Be sure to visually confirm safety
around the vehicle with your own eyes. Do
not depend entirely on the rear-view
camera.
IMPORTANT
128)It is vital, for correct operation, that
the camera is always kept clean and free
from mud, dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not
to scratch or damage the camera while
cleaning it. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The camera must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations
which use steam or high-pressure jets,
clean the camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away from the
sensors. Do not apply stickers to the
camera.
129)The rear-view camera has a special
lens that can make objects shown on the
screen appear to be closer or further away
than they actually are.130)Due to the number of people in the
vehicle, the fuel quantity, the weight and
positioning of luggage, and/or the condition
of the road surface, the lines in the view
from the rearview camera may not be
accurately positioned relative to the actual
road. Use the reference lines only as a
guideline, and always do a safety check of
your behind and surroundings directly while
driving.

If the engine cannot be started because
the battery is weak or dead, the battery
from another vehicle can be used with
jumper cables to start the engine.
1. Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure
the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other
electrical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each
vehicle. Put an automatic transmission
in “P” (PARK) or a manual transmission
in “N” (Neutral). Stop the engine.
4. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level. Refer to “Battery”.
5. Connect one end of one jumper
cable (1) to the positive (+) terminal of
the discharged battery (A), and the
other end (2) to the positive (+) terminal
of the booster battery (B).
Connect one end of the other jumper
cable (3) to the negative (−) terminal of
the booster battery (B), and the other
end (4) to the engine block of the
vehicle with the discharged battery at
the point farthest from the battery.

6. Start the engine in the vehicle which
has the booster battery, let the engine
idle a few minutes, then start the engine
in the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
7. After the engine is started,
disconnect the cables in the reverse
order and keep the engine running for
several minutes.
NOTE On vehicles with anti-lock brake
system, if the vehicle is put in motion
without fully charging the battery, it
might cause the loss of the smooth
engine operation and the antilock brake
warning lamp to illuminate. Refer to
“Anti-lock brake system (ABS)”.
WARNING
231)To start the engine using jumper
cables from another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the
instruction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or
damage to the vehicles.
232)Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames
away from the battery because the battery
may produce an explosion.
233)Do not attempt to start the engine by
pulling or pushing the vehicle. It could
damage your vehicle.
234)Check the other vehicle. It must have
a 12-volt battery. If the other system isn’t
12-volt, shorting can damage both
vehicles.
235)Use the proper cables suitable for the
battery size to prevent overheating of the
cables.
236)Check the jumper cables for damage
and corrosion before use.
237)Always wear protective eye goggles
when working near the battery.
238)Keep the battery out of the reach of
children.
239)Turn off the ignition on both vehicles
beforehand. Make sure that the cables or
your clothes cannot be caught by the fan
or drive belt. Personal injury could result.
240)If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or
appears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt
Jump Starting! A battery might rupture or
explode if the temperature is below the
freezing point or if it is not filled to the
proper level.241)Electrolyte is corrosive diluted
sulphuric acid. If electrolyte (battery acid)
comes into contact with your hands, eyes,
clothes or the painted surface of your
vehicle, it should be thoroughly flushed
with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes,
flush them with water immediately and
thoroughly, and get prompt medical
attention.
242)Make sure that the connection is
made to the appointed position (shown in
the illustration). If the connection is made
directly to the negative (−) side of the
battery, the inflammable gases generated
from the battery might catch fire and
explode.
243)When connecting the jumper cables,
do not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (−) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery.
244)Use care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotating
part in the engine compartment.
245)Keep the engine of the vehicle giving
assistance running.
246)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your skin and
eyes. The battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks:
danger of explosion and fire.
247)Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first, otherwise it
may explode. If freezing has occurred, the
battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal
elements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.A

ENGINE
OVERHEATING
When the engine is overheating,will
blink. If this occurs, take the following
corrective measures:
1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
2. Check whether steam is coming from
the engine compartment.
If steam does not come from the engine
compartment: with the engine still
running, raise the bonnet to ventilate
the engine compartment.
If steam is coming from the engine
compartment: stop the engine, and
when the steam stops, raise the bonnet
to ventilate the engine compartment.
Restart the engine.
248) 249) 250)
3. Confirm that the cooling fan (B) is
turning.
If the cooling fan is turning: after the
high coolant temperature warning has
gone off, stop the engine
If the cooling fan is not turning: stop the
engine immediately and contact a Fiat
dealership for assistance.A — Radiator cap
B — Cooling fan
C — Reserve tank
251)
4. Check the coolant level in the reserve
tank (C).
5. Add coolant to the radiator and/or
reserve tank if necessary (refer to the
“Maintenance” section).
252)
131)
6. Examine the radiator hoses for
coolant leakage and the drive belt for
looseness or damage.
If there is anything wrong with the
cooling system or drive belt, have the
problem corrected at a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
248)Do not open the bonnet while steam
is coming from the engine compartment. It
could cause steam or hot water to spurt
out, causing burns. Hot water could spurt
out even when there is no steam coming
out, and some parts will be very hot. Be
very careful when opening the bonnet.
249)Be careful of hot steam, which could
be blowing off the reserve tank cap.
250)Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap while the engine is hot.
251)Be careful not to get your hands or
clothes caught in the cooling fan.
252)Make sure that the engine has cooled
