Storing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
turn ring nut A fig. 148 to ON 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 memorised and you
can therefore release the accelerator
pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible by
simply pressing the accelerator pedal:
releasing the accelerator pedal, the
vehicle will return to the speed
memorised 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. 148.
Increasing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
by pressing the accelerator and
memorizing the new speed reached;
or
by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will
correspond to a slight increase in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk upwards will increase the
speed continuously.Reducing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
by deactivating the device and then
storing the new speed
or
by moving the stalk downwards (-)
until the new speed, which will
automatically remain memorised, is
reached.
Each movement of the stalk will
correspond to a slight reduction in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease
the speed continuously.
Deactivating the device
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:
by turning ring nut A to the OFF
position;
if the engine is stopped (leaving the
stalk ring nut at ON), when the ignition
key is next turned to ON, Cruise
Control will be activated automatically.

STARTING AND DRIVING

Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the Traction Plus
system press the A fig. 149 button.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system involves the following functions
being switched on:
inhibition of the ASR function, in
order to fully exploit the engine torque;
the differential locking effect on
the front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction on irregular
grounds.
If the Traction Plus system is faulty, the
warning light on the instrument
panel switches on constantly.
PARKING SENSORS
These are located in the rear bumper
fig. 150 and their function is to inform
the driver, through an intermittent
beeping noise, about the presence of
obstacles behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse is engaged. As the
obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer
to the bumper, the frequency of the
acoustic signal increases.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged an
intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
increases as the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle decreases;
becomes continuous when the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance increases;
is constant if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is
unchanged;
whereas, if this situation occurs for
the side sensors, the indication will stop
after about 3 seconds to avoid, for
example, warning indications in the
event of manoeuvres alongside walls.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
FAULT INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor faults will be
indicated when reverse is engaged by
the warning light in the instrument panel
switching on together with the
message in the multifunction display, for
versions/markets, where provided (see
chapter "Warning lights and
messages”).

STARTING AND DRIVING

SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for
fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other pollutants
(nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter (PM),
etc.).
PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR
REDUCING FUEL
CONSUMPTION AND
HARMFUL EMISSIONS
Vehicle conditions
Have checks and adjustments for
vehicle maintenancecarried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled
servicing plan”.
Checktyrepressure regularly, at
least once every four weeks.
Excessively low pressures will increase
consumption because rolling resistance
will be higher. In addition, this wears
the tyre more quickly and impairs
performance.
Only usesnow tyreswhen the
weather conditions make them
absolutely necessary. They increase
consumption and noise.
Do not travel witha heavy load: the
weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its geometry greatly
affect fuel consumption and stability.
Removeroof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce the
vehicle's aerodynamic penetration and
have a negative effect on fuel
consumption.
When transporting particularly large
objects, use atrailerif possible.
Use the vehicle's air vents if
possible: travelling with the windows
open impairs aerodynamics.
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The vehicle’s
heated rear window, additional
headlights, screen wipers and heater
fan require a considerable amount
of energy; this increases fuel
consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average up to +30%).
If the temperature outside is not too
extreme, try and use the air vents.
Driving style
Afterstarting the engineyou
should drive away immediately and
slowly, avoiding high revs. Do not warm
up the engine at low or high revs when
the vehicle is stationary; this causes
the engine to warm up more slowly,
thereby increasing fuel consumption,
emissions and mechanical component
wear.
Avoidpointless actionssuch as
revving up when at traffic lights or
before stopping the engine. The latter
action, like double-declutching, is
unnecessary and causes increased fuel
consumption and pollution.
Gear selection:select a high gear
as soon as possible (taking into
account normal engine operation and
traffic conditions) without pushing
the engine to high revs during
the intermediate gears. Using low gears
at high revs to get lively acceleration
increases fuel consumption, harmful
emissions and engine wear.
Vehicle speed:fuel consumption
increases exponentially as the speed of
the vehicle increases. Keep your speed
moderate and as even as possible,
avoiding unnecessary braking and
acceleration, which cause excessive
fuel consumption and increased
emissions. Keeping a safe distance
from the vehicle in front helps to
maintain a steady speed.
Acceleration:accelerating violently
severely affects consumption and
emissions. Acceleration should be
gradual and should not exceed the
maximum engine torque rate.
139

CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts
do not allow the engine to reach
optimum operating temperature.
This results in a significant increase in
consumption levels (from +15 to +30%
on the urban cycle) and emissions.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption levels are
linked to situations with heavy traffic, for
instance when travelling in queues
with frequent use of the lower gears or
in cities with many traffic lights. Winding
mountain roads and rough road
surfaces also adversely affect
consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT
The vehicle must be equipped with a
type-approved tow hook and adequate
electrical system to tow trailers.
Installation should be carried out by
specialised personnel who will issue the
required papers for travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the vehicle
tow hook will reduce the loading
capacity of the vehicle by the same
amount.
To make sure that the maximum
towable weight is not exceeded (given
in the vehicle registration document)
account should be taken of the fully
laden trailer, including accessories and
luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in
the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In any case, the top speed must not
exceed 80 km/h.
116) 117)
WARNING
116)The ABS device with which the
vehicle is equipped will not control the
braking system of the trailer. Particular
caution is required on slippery roads.
117)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent from the hydraulic system of
the vehicle.
140
STARTING AND DRIVING

IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the electric power steering
system are not active until the engine
is started, so you will need to apply
much more force to the brake pedal or
steering wheel.
WARNING
29)Never use a fast battery-charger for
emergency starting of the engine as this
could damage the electronic systems
of your vehicle, particularly the ignition and
fuel supply control units.
WARNING
131)This procedure must be performed by
qualified personnel as incorrect actions
may cause high-intensity electrical
discharge. Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames
away from the battery. No smoking. Do not
cause sparks.
FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the fuel supply cut-off with the
engine consequently switching off;
the automatic unlocking of the
doors;
the switching on of the interior lights;
switching on of the hazard warning
lights (to deactivate the lights press
the dedicated button on the
dashboard).
132)When the system has been triggered,
the message “Fuel cut off, see
handbook” is displayed on some
versions.
Check carefully for fuel leaks, for
instance in the engine compartment,
under the vehicle or near the tank area.
After a collision, turn the ignition key
to STOP to prevent the battery from
running down.
The following procedure should be
carried out to restore the correct
operation of the vehicle:
turn the ignition key to the MAR
position;
activate the right direction indicator;
deactivate the right direction
indicator;
activate the left direction indicator;
deactivate the left direction indicator;
activate the right direction indicator;
deactivate the right direction
indicator;
activate the left direction indicator;
deactivate the left direction indicator;
turn the ignition key to the OFF
position.
WARNING
132)If, after an impact, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel supply system,
do not reactivate the system to avoid
the risk of fire.

IN AN EMERGENCY

LIFTING THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be lifted, go to a
Fiat Dealership which is equipped
with the arm hoist or workshop lift.
TOWING THE
VEHICLE
The tow ring provided with the vehicle
is located in the tool box behind the left
seat backrest (Cargo versions) or in
the boot (Doblò / Doblò Combi
versions).
ATTACHING THE TOW
HOOK
Proceed as follows:
release the cap A fig. 206-fig. 207;
take the tow hook B from the tool
bag;
fully screw the hook onto the
threaded front or rear pin.
133) 134) 135)
30)
WARNING
133)Before starting towing operations,
turn the ignition key to MAR and then
to STOP, without extracting it. If the key is
extracted, the steering lock engages
automatically and it is consequently
impossible to steer the wheels.
134)Clean the threaded seat carefully
before fastening the ring. Before towing the
vehicle, make sure that the tow ring is
fully tightened in its appropriate housing.
Do not start the engine whilst the vehicle is
being towed.

145)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
WARNING
37)Incorrect assembly of electrical and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install
accessories (alarms, radiophone, etc.):
they will suggest the most suitable devices
and advise you if a higher capacity battery
needs to be installed.
38)If the vehicle needs to be off the road
for a long period under conditions of
intense cold, remove the battery and take it
to a heated location, otherwise it may
freeze.
WARNING
4)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. To
replace your battery, we recommend
contacting your Fiat Dealership to dispose
of your old battery in full respect of the
environment and in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations.
BATTERY
RECHARGING
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is given as information only.
This operation should be performed
at a Fiat Dealership.
Charging should be slow at a low
ampere rating for approximately 24
hours. Charging for a long time may
damage the battery.
To recharge, proceed as follows:
IN THE ABSENCE OF THE
START&STOP SYSTEM
disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the poles;
turn on the charger;
when you have finished, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery;
reconnect the negative battery
terminal.WITH START&STOP
SYSTEM
Versions with dummy pole fig. 216
disconnect the quick release
negative terminal A from the dummy
negative terminal B; this is because
a battery status monitoring sensor D is
fitted on the negative battery terminal
C and should never be disconnected
except for when the battery is actually
replaced;
connect the positive cable of the
charger to the positive pole of the
battery and the negative cable to the
dummy negative terminal B;
turn on the charger;
after the recharge, turn the charger
off before disconnecting it from the
battery;

WARNING
148)Driving with worn windscreen wiper
blades is a serious hazard, because
visibility is reduced in bad weather
conditions.
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre,
including the space-saver wheel,
approximately every two weeks and
before long journeys: the pressure
should be checked with the tyre rested
and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase
when the vehicle is used; for the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in
the “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear fig. 222:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn;
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges;
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In
any case, follow the laws in force in the
country you are in.
IMPORTANT
As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking, screech starts and violent
shocks against pavements, potholes or
other hard obstacles. Driving for long
stretches over bumpy roads can
damage the tyres;
periodically check that the tyres
have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear. Contact
a Fiat Dealership if required;
avoid overloading the vehicle when
travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres;
if a tyre is punctured, stop
immediately and change it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on
the side walls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by specialised
personnel if they have been fitted for
longer than 6 years. Remember to
check the spare wheel very carefully;
in the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
