To increase the memorised
speed
The speed memorised can be in-
creased in two ways:
1 -pressing the accelerator and then
memorising the new speed reached
(pressing button + for more than
three seconds);
2 -pressing briefly button +: each
pressing will correspond to a slight in-
crease in speed (about 2.5 km/h) while
pressing continuously will correspond
to a continuous speed increase. Re-
leasing the button the new speed will
be memorised automatically.
To reduce the memorised
speed
The speed memorised can be re-
duced in two ways:
1 -disengaging the device (for in-
stance pressing the brake pedal) and
then memorising the new speed
(pressing button +for more than
three seconds);
2 -pressing button –until reaching
the new speed which will be memo-
rised automatically.To set to zero the memorised
speed
The memorised speed is automati-
cally reset:
– turning the engine off;
– pressing buttonOFF.Do not engage the device in town or
in busy flowing traffic conditions.
When travelling with the
cruise control on, do not
move the gearshift lever to neutral
and to not move the automatic
gearbox selector to N. We suggest
to engage the cruise control only
when the traffic and road condi-
tions allow doing it in complete
safety and so: straight and dry
roads, freeways or motorways,
smooth flowing traffic and even as-
phalt.
WARNING
The cruise control can be en-
gaged only with speeds high-
er than 40 km/h. The device may on-
ly be engaged in 4
thor 5thgear, de-
pending on the speed of the vehicle.
On vehicles with electronic automat-
ic gearbox it can only be engaged
with selector to D, in automatic mode
without then moving the selector
manually, or with 3
rdor 4thgear in se-
quential operation. Travelling down-
hill with the device engaged, the ve-
hicle speed may increase more than
the memorised one, due to the
change in the engine load.

CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
IMPORTANTCentral door locking
is active on all doors if front doors (cab
doors) are used for opening/closing.
When operating one of the rear or
side door lock, only that door will be
locked/unlocked.

and turn the key in the lock of one of
the driver’s cab doors.
From the inside
When the doors are closed, press
(to lock) or lift (to unlock) one of the
driver’s cab door safety sill buttons.
IMPORTANT If one of the cab
doors is not shut properly or there is
a failure in the system, the central
locking feature will not work and, af-
ter some attempts, the device will stop
working for about 2 minutes. In these
two minutes, the doors can be locked
or unlocked manually without the
electrical system coming into play.After the two minutes, the control
unit is ready to receive commands
once more. If the reason for the mal-
functioning has been removed, the de-
vice will start to work properly again.
If not, it will cut once more.

SWITCHING THE ASR
SYSTEM ON AND OFF
The ASR function switches on auto-
matically each time the engine is
started.
When travelling the device can be
switched off and on again pressing
switch A-fig. 143 on the centre con-
sole.
Function deactivation is indicated by
the instrument panel warning light A-
fig. 144coming on. If the ASR func-
tion is turned off when travelling, it
will be restored at the following start-
up.For correct operation of the ASR
system the tyres must absolutely be of
the same brand and type on all
wheels, in perfect conditions and,
above all, of the specified type, brand
and size.
IMPORTANTWhen travelling on
snowy road with snow chains, it may
be helpful to turn the ASR device off:
in fact, in these conditions, slipping of
the driving wheels when moving off
makes it possible to obtain better
drive.

ASR system is automatically discon-
nected and the warning light Von
the instrument panel comes on with
fixed light.
Press once button A-fig. 143to
check that the signalled information is
correct:
– button pressed, the warning light
goes off, no ASR system faults are de-
tected;
– button pressed, the warning light
stays on, ASR system fault detected.
In this case the vehicle will go o as a
vehicle not equipped with this system.
Anyway, you are recommended to go
to a Fiat Dealershipas soon as pos-
sible.

STARTING
THE ENGINE HOW TO START PETROL
VERSIONS
IMPORTANT Do not press the
accelerator until the engine has start-
ed.
1) Ensure that the handbrake is up.
2)Put the gear lever into neutral.
3)Press the clutch pedal down to
the floor without touching the accel-
erator.
4) Turn the ignition key to AVVand
release it as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
to STOP before trying to start the
engine again.
If the warning light Ystays on when
the ignition key is at MAR, turn the
key to STOPand then to MAR; if the
warning light stays on, try with the
other keys provided.
If you are still unable to start the en-
gine, go to a Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANTDo not leave the ig-
nition key at MAR when the engine is
off.
Minibus and School Bus versions:
press the ignition enable button lo-
cated to the left of the steering col-
umn as shown in the specific supple-
ment to this handbook.
Never touch the high volt-
age cables (spark plug ca-
bles) when the engine is running.
WARNING
It is dangerous to let the en-
gine run in a garage of oth-
er closed area. The engine con-
sumes oxygen and gives off carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide and oth-
er poisonous fumes.
WARNING

107GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR VEHICLE
If you still cannot start the engine,
get in touch with a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the outside
temperature is low, it is important to
note that the use of a more fluid oil
will facilitate starting the cold engine.
Therefore, in winter, follow the advice
in chapter “Technical specifications”,
paragraph “Fluids and lubricants”.
IMPORTANTNever leave the igni-
tion key at MARwhen the engine is off.
Minibus and School Bus versions:
press the ignition enable button lo-
cated to the left of the steering col-
umn as shown in the specific supple-
ment to this handbook.HOW TO WARM UP
THE ENGINE AFTER IT
HAS JUST STARTED
(petrol and diesel versions)
– Begin to move forward slowly let-
ting the engine turn at medium revs.
Do not accelerate abruptly.
– Do not push the engine to its lim-
it for the first few kilometres. You are
recommended to wait until the
coolant temperature indicator starts
to move.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the Fiat CODE system fails to
recognise that code transmitted by the
ignition key (warning light Yon the
instrument panel lit) the emergency
start-up can be performed by using the
CODE card code.
See the “In an emergency” section.Catalysed vehicles must
not be bump started
(pushed, towed or coast-
ed downhill) as this could cause
fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-
haust system and damage it be-
yond repair.
Remember that until the
engine has started the
brake booster and power steering
systems will not work and a greater
effort will therefore be required to
depress the brake pedal or turn the
steering wheel.
