A film of water can be formed on the
brake discs or brake drums and
prevent normal braking after driving in
heavy rain or through large puddles, or
after the vehicle is washed. If this
occurs, dry the brakes out by driving
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal.
When driving downhill
It is important to take advantage of the
engine braking by shifting to a lower
shift position while driving on steep
downhill roads in order to prevent the
brakes from overheating.
239)
Brake pads and linings
Avoid hard braking situations. New
brakes need to be broken-in by
moderate use for the first 200 km.
The disc brakes are provided with a
warning device which emits a shrieking
metallic sound while braking if the brake
pads have reached their wear limit. If
you hear this sound, have the brake
pads replaced.
240)
IMPORTANT
148)Avoid driving habits that cause heavy
braking and never “ride” the brakes by
resting your foot on the brake pedal while
driving. It causes bake overheating and
fade.
WARNING
237)Do not turn off the engine while your
vehicle is in motion. If you turn off the
engine while driving, the power assistance
for the braking system will stop working
and your brakes will not work effectively.
238)If the power assist is lost or if either
brake hydraulic system stops working
properly, have your vehicle checked
immediately.
239)Do not leave any objects near the
brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it;
doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke
that would be necessary in an emergency.
Make sure that the pedal can be operated
freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat
is securely held in place.
240)Driving with worn brake pads will
make it harder to stop, and can cause an
accident.
CRUISE CONTROL
(where provided)
Cruise control is an automatic speed
control system that keeps a set speed.
It can be activated at approximately
40 km/h or more.
241) 242)
149) 150) 151)
NOTE Cruise control may not be able
to keep your speed on uphills or
downhills. Your speed may decrease on
a steep uphill. You may use the
accelerator pedal if you want to stay at
your set speed. Your speed may
increase to more than the set speed on
183
a steep downhill. You have to use the
brake to control your speed. As a
result, the set speed driving is
deactivated.

STARTING AND DRIVING

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.
Speed Limiter control switches
There are 4 switches which relate to the
Speed Limiter on the steering wheel.
