4ÜWarning light >alone,
with the engine running,
normally indicates a fault in the
ABS system only. In this case, the
braking system is still efficient,
though without the anti-locking de-
vice. Under these conditions, per-
formance of the EBD system may
be reduced. In this case too, you are
advised to go immediately to the
nearest Fiat Dealership, driving in
such a way to avoid sharp braking
to have the system checked over.
WARNING

68GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
IMPORTANTThe cruise control
can be engaged only with speeds high-
er than 40 km/h.
The device is automatically discon-
nected in one of the following cases:
– pressing the brake pedal;
– pressing the clutch pedal;
– inadvertently moving the automat-
ic gearbox selector to N. A special horn warns any people near
the vehicle that the driver is manoeu-
vring it.
Through four sensors located in the
bumper, the system detects the dis-
tance between the vehicle and possi-
ble obstacles; the driver is warned by
an intermittent acoustic signal with in-
creasing frequency, which is automat-
ically activated when the reverse gear
is engaged.CRUISE CONTROL
GENERAL FEATURES
The cruise control, with electronic
control, allows driving the vehicle at
a desired speed, without pressing the
accelerator pedal. This allows reduc-
ing the driving fatigue on motorways,
especially during long journeys, be-
cause the memorised speed is auto-
matically maintained.
Never set gear selector to
N (vehicles fitted with au-
tomatic gearbox) when the vehicle
is moving.
WARNING
The Cruise Control must be
activated only when the
traffic and the path allow keeping,
for a distance long enough, a con-
stant speed in complete safety.

CONTROLS fig. 100
The cruise control is controlled by
a set of controls located on the steer-
ing wheel.
1) ONdevice on
2) OFFdevice off
3) RESto reset the memorised
speed
4) +to store and to keep the vehicle
speed or to increase the speed memo-
rised
5) – to lower the speed memorised.
IMPORTANTPressing button
OFFor turning the key to STOP,
the memorised speed is cancelled and
the system disengaged.IMPORTANTIn the case of need
(when overtaking for instance) accel-
eration is possible simply pressing the
accelerator pedal; later, releasing the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will re-
turn to the speed memorised previ-
ously.
To reset the memorised speed
If the device has been disengaged for
example pressing the brake or clutch
pedal, the memorised speed can be re-
set as follows:
– accelerate gradually until reaching
a speed approaching the one memo-
rised;
– engage the gear selected at the
time of speed memorising (4
thor 5th
speed);
– press button RES. To memorise the speed
Press button ONand take the ve-
hicle to the required speed normally.
Press button +for at least three sec-
onds, then release it. The vehicle
speed is memorised and it is therefore
possible to release the accelerator
pedal.
The vehicle will carry on its ride at
the constant memorised speed until
one of the following condition occurs:
– pressing the brake pedal;
– pressing the clutch pedal;
– inadvertently moving the automat-
ic gearbox selector to N.

70GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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.
