CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator)
(where provided)
It is a device able to support the driver,
with electronic control, which allows dri-
ving at speed over 30 km/h on long and
straight dry roads (e.g.: motorways), at a
desired speed, without pressing the ac-
celerator pedal. Therefore it is not sug-
gested to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.SWITCHING THE DEVICE ON
Turn knob A-fig. 47to ON.
The Cruise Control cannot be engaged
in first or reverse gear. It is advisable to
engage it in 4
thor higher gears.
Travelling downhill with the device en-
gaged, the car speed may increase more
than the memorised one.
When the device is activated the warn-
ing light
Üturns on together with the rel-
evant message on the instrument panel
(where provided).STORING THE CAR SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn knob A-fig. 47to ONand press
the accelerator pedal to the required
speed;
❒push the lever up (+) for at least one
second and release it: the car speed will
be stored. The accelerator pedal may
be released.
If needed (e.g. for overtaking), press the
accelerator pedal to accelerate: the car
will return to the previously set speed
when the pedal is released.

RESTORING STORED SPEED
If the device has been disengaged for ex-
ample pressing the brake or clutch pedal,
the memorised speed can be reset as fol-
lows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a
speed approaching the one stored;
❒engage the gear selected at the time
when the speed was originally stored;
❒press RES B-fig. 47.
INCREASING THE STORED
SPEED
The stored speed can be increased in two
ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and then
storing the new speed reached;
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will corre-
spond to a slight increase in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk upwards
will correspond to a continuous speed in-
crease. REDUCING THE STORED SPEED
The stored speed can be increased in two
ways:
❒by switching the device off and then
storing a new speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (–) un-
til reaching the new speed which will be
stored automatically.
Each operation of the stalk will corre-
spond to a slight reduction in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the stalk down-
wards will correspond to a continuous
speed reduction.
SWITCHING THE DEVICE OFF
The device can be switch off in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒by turning knob Ato OFF;
❒by turning the engine off;
❒by pressing the brake pedal;
❒by pressing the clutch pedal;
❒by pressing the accelerator pedal; in this
case the system is not really switched
off but the request for acceleration
takes priority over the system. The
cruise control is however active and it
will not be necessary to press button
RES B-fig. 47to resume previous con-
ditions after ending acceleration.
The device is automatically switched off in
one of the following cases:
❒if the ABSor ESPsystems cut-in;
❒with car speed below the preset limit;
❒in the case of system failure.
When travelling with the de-
vice on, never set the
gearshift lever to neutral.
WARNING
In the event of device faults
or failures, turn knob A to
OFF and contact a Fiat Dealership.

Door unlocking in the event
of a crash
If the fuel cut-off switch trips following an
accident, the doors will be automatically
unlocked to let you leave the car and the
ceiling lights will be switched on at the
same time. The doors can always be
opened from the inside of the car by
means of the specific levers.
Proceed as follows if no fuel leakage is
found and and the car is in condition to be
driven to rearm the fuel cut-off switch.FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
The car is fitted with a safety switch that
in the event of a crash comes into opera-
tion by cutting off fuel and turning off the
engine as a consequence.
This device therefore prevents fuel leaks
due to fuel piping breaking.
IMPORTANT After the accident, re-
member to remove the electronic key
from the ignition device to prevent drain-
ing the battery.The message “FPS on” will appear on the
digital display when the switch trips. The
message “Inertia switch tripped. See hand-
book” will appear on the multifunctional
display.
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switch to
avoid fine risk.
WARNING
If the centralised door lock-
ing system was operated
from inside the car and the fuel cut-
off switch did not manage to auto-
matically release the doors, it will not
be possible to access the passenger
compartment from the outside after
an accident. The possibility of open-
ing the doors from the outside de-
pends on the conditions of the doors
themselves after the accident: if may
not be possible to open a damaged
door. In this case, try to open the oth-
er doors of the car.
