❒ following ESP®system intervention (for
versions/markets, where provided),
to reset the stored speed, follow these
steps.
❒ Accelerate gently, bringing the vehicle
close to the stored speed.
❒ Engage the gear selected at the time the
previous speed was stored.
❒ Press the “RES/ACC” button (2).
INCREASE IN STORED SPEED
When Cruise Control is operating, there
are two ways to increase the stored
speed:
❒ by pressing the accelerator and then
storing the new speed reached,
or
❒ by pressing the “RES/ACC” button (2).
Each time the button is pressed, this
corresponds to a constant increase in
speed, while holding the button down
increases the speed in a continuous
manner.REDUCTION OF STORED
SPEED
When Cruise Control is operating, there
are two ways to reduce the stored speed:
❒ by disengaging the device and then sto-
ring the new speed,
or
❒ by pressing the “SET/COAST” button
(3). Each time the button is pressed, this
corresponds to a constant decrease in
speed, while holding the button down
decreases the speed in a continuous
manner.
DISENGAGING OF THE DEVICE
The device is disengaged in one of the fol-
lowing cases:
❒ pressing the “CANCEL” button (4);
❒ pressing the brake pedal;
❒ pressing the clutch (on vehicles with
manual gearbox);
❒ switching off the engine (starter swit-
ch set to “OFF”);
❒ by disabling the system (“MAIN” but-
ton (1) set to “OFF”);
❒ when the vehicle speed is reduced by
approximately 20% compared with the
set speed;❒ when the vehicle speed is below 36
km/h (22 mph);
❒ in the event of ESP
®system interven-
tion (where provided);
❒ in the event of system breakdown.
NOTE By pressing the accelerator, the sy-
stem is not actually disengaged, but the re-
quired acceleration takes precedence over
maintaining the stored speed: Cruise Con-
trol, however, remains enabled and will
return to the previous condition once the
accelerator has been released, without ha-
ving to press the “RES/ACC” button (2).
IMPORTANT When travelling with the
device on, never set the gearshift lever to
neutral.
IMPORTANT In the event of malfunction
or failure, disable the device (“MAIN” but-
ton (1) set to “OFF”) and see your Fiat
Dealership.

The light should go out after starting the
engine and fully releasing the parking
brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir is adequate.
The light also comes on together with the
ABS warning light when the rear brake
force control function (Proportioning
valve function) of the ABS system fails.
If the brake system warning light comes
on while you are driving the vehicle, it may
mean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle’s brake system. If this happens,
you should:
❒Pull off the road and stop carefully.
❒Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping at the side of the road.
– If you determine that it is safe, drive
carefully at low speed to the near-
est dealer for repairs, or

INDICATOR LIGHTS
BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING
LIGHT
65D477
For working check of this light, there are
following three different type operations
depending on the vehicle’s specification.
❒The light comes on briefly when the ig-
nition switch is turned to the “ON”
and/or “START” position.
❒The light comes on when the parking
brake is engaged with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position.
❒The light comes on when under either
or both of above two conditions.
The light also comes on when the fluid in
the brake fluid reservoir falls below the
specified level.
Remember that stopping dis-
tance may be longer, you
may have to push harder on the ped-
al, and the pedal may go down far-
ther than normal.
WARNING
If any of the following con-
ditions occur, you should im-
mediately ask your Fiat Dealership to
inspect the brake system.
If the brake system warning light does
not go out after the engine has been
started and the parking brake has
been fully released.
If the brake system warning light does
not come on when the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON” or “START”
position.
If the brake system warning light
comes on at any time during vehicle
operation.
WARNING
– Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
dealer for repairs.
NOTE Because the disc brake system is
selfadjusting, the fluid level will drop as the
brake pads become worn. Replenishing
the brake fluid reservoir is considered
normal periodic maintenance.
