SPEED BLOCK(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle is equipped with a speed
limitation function that can be set at the
user's request to one of 4 predefined
values: 90, 100, 110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Following the operation, a sticker will be
applied to the windscreen showing the
maximum speed setting.
IMPORTANT The speedometer could
indicate a higher maximum speed than
the effective one, set by the Dealership,
in accordance with the regulations in
force.
SELF-LEVELLING AIR
SUSPENSIONGENERAL INFORMATION
The system only acts on the rear
wheels.
The system maintains the rear ride
setting for the vehicle constant in any
loading condition, while ensuring a
greater driving comfort. In addition, the
system allows the height of the vehicle
to be adjusted with the vehicle
stationary, by selecting from 7 different
positions to facilitate access to the
rear compartment.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
There are 7 pre-defined levels for the
free height from the ground: from “ride
-3” to “ride 0” till “ride +3”.
The multifunction display, located in the
middle of the instrument panel, can
show the ride position.
Automatic adjustment
When moving, the system automatically
shows that the vehicle is in 'ride setting
0' and keeps it constant.
During the adjustment the LED located
on the button (A or B fig. 103)
corresponding to the direction of travel,
flashes.Manual adjustment
4)
With the vehicle stationary and the
engine on or off, the desired height level
can be set.
Manual adjustment is only available for
a limited number of times with the
engine switched off.
Pressing button A, for less than 1
second, selects the next level
up. Keeping button A pressed, for more
than 1 second, selects the maximum
level directly: “ride +3”.
Pressing button B, for less than 1
second, selects the next level down.
Keeping button B pressed, for more
than 1 second, selects the minimum
level directly: “ride -3”.103

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

The system condition can always be
shown on the display.
The system displaying includes the
following two steps:
❒All new traffic signs that can be
recognised are displayed as pop-ups
for 40 seconds over the other
signallings.
❒After the preset time, they are
displayed in the dedicated screen on
the panel.
The system can display two traffic signs
(speed limit and no overtaking) at the
same time in the two dedicated areas
of the panel.
If an additional traffic sign is detected,
e.g. a reduced speed limit for wet
road conditions, this is displayed as an
empty box under the relevant sign.The additional signs are filtered as
follows:
❒The additional sign for "snow" or
"rain" will not be displayed if the
outside temperature is over 3°C.
❒The additional sign for "snow" or
"rain" or "cloudy" will not be
displayed if the windscreen wipers
are off and the outside temperature is
below 3°C.
❒The additional sign for "truck" will not
be displayed if the vehicle weighs
less than 4-4.5 t.
❒The speed limit sign will not be
displayed if coupled with the
additional "tractor" sign.
WARNING
78) If the camera loses its position
due to a load variation, the system
may not work temporarily to allow
the camera to perform an
autocalibration.
79) The system only detects the
preset traffic signs. If the
minimum visibility conditions and
distance from the sign are met
it can detect all traffic signs.80) The system is a driving
assistance system but it does not
relieve the driver of the
responsibility of driving with due
attention and diligence in
compliance with the laws in force.
81) When the system is active, the
driver is responsible for
controlling the vehicle and
monitoring the system, and must
intervene as appropriate if
necessary.
IMPORTANT
9) If the sensor is blocked, the
system may not work.
10) In the case of low temperatures
or harsh weather conditions, the
system may not work.
11) Rain, snow, splashes and strong
light contrast may influence the
sensor.
12) Do not repair the area of the
windscreen directly surrounding
the sensor.
13) If the vehicle is equipped with a
non-genuine suspension kit, the
system may not work correctly.

WARNING
126) Never leave children
unattended in the vehicle. Always
remove the ignition key when
leaving the vehicle and take it out
with you.
IMPORTANT
33) If the vehicle is equipped with
self-levelling air suspension,
always check that there is
sufficient space above the roof
and around the vehicle when
parking. Indeed, the vehicle could
raise (or lower) automatically
depending on load or temperature
changes.
USING THE
GEARBOXTo engage the gears, press the clutch
pedal fully and put the gear lever into
the required position (the diagram
for gear engagement is shown on the
knob fig. 171).
To engage 6th gear (where provided),
operate the lever by pressing it towards
the right in order to avoid engaging
4th gear by mistake. The action is
similar for shifting from 6th gear to 5th
gear.171

❒arrange the jack near the lift support
closest to the wheel to be replaced
at the points shown in fig. 179.
For short wheelbase versions with
retractable footboard, the jack must
be positioned at the lift point shown
in fig. 180 aligned (45°) so that it
does not interfere with the retractable
footboard;
❒warn all bystanders that the vehicle is
about to be lifted. They must stay
clear and not touch the vehicle until it
is back on the ground.❒for versions equipped with
self-levelling air suspension, before
raising the vehicle with the jack,
press buttons A and B fig. 181
simultaneously for at least 5 seconds.
The operating mode for raising the
vehicle is activated: the LEDs on the
buttons come on constantly. To
exit this mode, press buttons A and
B simultaneously for another 5
seconds; both LEDs on the buttons
will go out and full system operation
will be restored. This mode
deactivates automatically when the
speed of approx. 5 km/h is
exceeded.
143)
❒lift the vehicle.
After lifting the vehicle:❒for all versions, when gaining access
through the vehicle's right rear wheel
arch, adjust the screw A fig. 182
for the spare wheel retaining device,
using the wrench provided with
the dedicated extension/adaptor
Bfig. 182;
❒turn wrench C fig. 183 anticlockwise
1 to allow the spare wheel to be
lowered;
❒continue turning anticlockwise until
the stop point, indicated by the
stiffening of the manoeuvre or a click
from the clutch present in the device;
144) 145)
❒use the wheel dismantling spanner to
remove the wheel from the vehicle

IN AN EMERGENCY

138) The spare wheel supplied (for
versions/markets, where
provided) is specific for your
vehicle. Therefore, it must not be
used on other models. Do not
use spare wheels of other models
on your vehicle. The wheel bolts
are specific for your vehicle: do
not use them on different models
and do not use bolts from other
models on your car.
139) Have the wheel repaired and
refitted as soon as possible. Do
not apply grease to the bolt
threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
140) Use the jack only to replace
wheels on the vehicle with which
it is supplied or on other vehicles
of the same model. Never use
the jack for other purposes, such
as lifting other car models. Never
use the jack to carry out repairs
under the vehicle. Incorrect
positioning of the jack may cause
the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than
those shown on the label.
141) Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any
kind between rim and tyre. Check
tyre and spare wheel pressure
regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical
specifications" section.142) No tools other than the crank
provided should be used with
the spare wheel lifting device; it
should be operated by hand only.
143) On versions equipped with
self-levelling air suspension, never
introduce the head or hands in
the wheel arch: the vehicle could
raise or lower automatically
depending on possible load or
temperature changes.
144) The device should only be
operated by hand, without using
any type of tool other than the
crank provided, like pneumatic or
electrical screwers.
145) The moving components of the
jack (screw and joints) can also
cause injuries: do not touch them.
If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.146) At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel,
after having checked the correct
positioning of the wheel under the
platform (white notch inside the
window on the device), the key
must be extracted, taking care not
to turn it in the wrong direction
to facilitate the extraction of the
key itself, to prevent the
attachment device from being
released and the wheel assembly
not being securely retained fig.
188.
147) Each time the spare wheel is
moved, check that it is correctly
positioned in its housing under
the platform. If it is not correctly
positioned, this could adversely
affect safety.
