IMPORTANT
149)When you do not wish to drive at a
set speed, turn off the cruise control for
safety.
150)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.
151)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.
152)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.
SPEED LIMITER
The Speed Limiter is a driver assist
function to prevent from exceeding the
speed set by driver while engine power
control.
153)
NOTE If depressing the clutch pedal
(M/T), the Speed Limiter does not
activate.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set
speed, control state “LIMIT” and the
Speed Limiter’s symbol will blink in the
combination meter.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set
speed after indicated, control state
“LIMIT” and the beep alert will sound a
certain period of time.
While running without blinked control
state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limiter’s
symbol, if you decrease the set speed
and vehicle speed is more than set
speed, control state “LIMIT” and the
Speed Limiter’s symbol blinking starts
but beep alert is delayed.
In this case, when vehicle speed keeps
exceeding set speed for about
30 seconds after control state “LIMIT”
and the Speed Limiter’s symbol are
blinked, beep alert will sound a certain
period of time.
If the vehicle speeds decreases less
than set speeds, control state “LIMIT”
and the Speed Limiter’s symbol stop
blinking. When beep alert is sounding,
the beep alert also goes off.NOTE However, this gives priority to
audio and visual signal of safety
reasons or driver’s demand. If the set
speed is too lower based on current
shift position, the Speed Limiter may
not limit the vehicle speed to prevent
engine stall.

WARNING
248)In the case of indistinct, overlapping
or missing lane demarcation lines, the
system may not assist the driver: in this
case the Driving Advisor will be inactive.
249)The Driving Advisor is not an
automatic driving system and does not
replace the driver in controlling the
trajectory of the car. The driver is personally
responsible for maintaining a sufficient level
of attention to the traffic and road
conditions and for controlling the trajectory
of the car safely.
250)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.

IMPORTANT
154)LDW has its performance limitations.
Do not over-rely on the system.
155)LDW is not designed to lessen risks
associated with not looking ahead carefully
(attention drawn to something on the side,
absentmindedness, etc.) or poor visibility
caused by bad weather etc. Keep steering
your vehicle correctly and drive safely.156)The system may not be able to detect
the lane correctly in the following
conditions. If required, set the LDW switch
to “OFF.”: when driving on a road whose
lane markings (white or yellow) are worn
out or smeared with dirt to an extent not
recognizable by the system; when lane
markings are vague, typically during a drive
in the rain, snow or fog, or when running
against the sun; when the vehicle is moving
in a place where lane markings are
interrupted, such as a toll booth entrance
and motorway junction; when running on a
road portion with incompletely removed old
lane markings, shadows, lingering snow,
truck-like puddles mistakable for lane
markings (especially after the rain when
road surface is reflecting light) or similar
confusing factors; when running in a lane
other than the cruising lane and passing
lane; when running beside a closed lane
section or in a provisional lane in a traffic
work zone; when running in an extremely
narrow lane; when the following distance
between your vehicle and a vehicle in front
becomes extremely reduced (especially
when a marking is hidden by a vehicle in
front this is running too close to the
marking); when entering a junction or other
point of road where lanes are laid out
complicatedly;when passing a road section where the
number of lanes increases/decreases or
multiple lanes are crossing each other;
when the lane is marked by double or
otherwise special lines; when driving on a
winding or rough road; when driving on a
slippery road covered by rain water, snow,
ice, etc.; when passing through a place
where the brightness suddenly changes,
like the inlet or outlet of a tunnel; when
turning steep curves; when the road
surface is reflecting the light shining from
the direction opposite to the running
direction; vehicle largely lurches when it is
running over steps or other irregularities of
the road surface; when the headlamp
illumination is inadequate because of
contaminated or deteriorated lenses or
improperly aimed headlamps; when the
vehicle is leaning much to one side due to
heavy luggage on it or improperly adjusted
tyre pressures; when oncoming vehicles’
headlamps shine the LDW camera; when
the vehicle is equipped with nonstandard
tyres (including excessively worn tyres and
temporary spare tyre), uses snow traction
device (tyre chains), or has nonspecified
components such as a modified
suspension; when the windscreen is
covered with rain water, snow, dust, etc.
