CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Cruise Control is an electronic device to
assist driving, which makes it possible to
maintain the vehicle at the desired speed
without the need to press the accelerator.
The device must only be used in particu-
lar safety conditions, at a speed above 40
km/h (25 mph), on long stretches of strai-
ght, dry road with little change in speed
(e.g. motorways). Therefore it is not re-
commended to use this device on extra-
urban roads with traffic. Do not use it in
cities.
CONTROLS
1.MAIN button (ON: device enabled;
OFF: device disabled)
2.RES/ACC button (call up stored speed,
increase set speed)
3.SET/COAST button (store speed, de-
crease set speed)
4.CANCEL button (switch off device)
5.CRUISE warning light (device enabled)
6.SET warning light (device working)ENABLING OF THE DEVICE
To enable the device and prepare it for
operation, press the “MAIN” button (1).
The “CRUISE” warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on to signal that the
device has been enabled. The warning li-
ght remains on until the device is disabled.
NOTE
❒ In models with a manual gearbox, it is
recommended to use the device only at
high gears (4th, 5th of 6th).
❒ When travelling downhill with the de-
vice engaged, the vehicle speed may sli-
ghtly exceed the stored one.STORAGE OF VEHICLE SPEED
In order to store a speed and activate
Cruise Control, follow these steps.
❒ Enable the device and press the
“MAIN” button (1).
❒ Press the accelerator, bringing the vehi-
cle up to the desired speed.
❒ Press the “SET/COAST” button (3):
vehicle speed is stored and so it is pos-
sible to release the accelerator.
NOTE If required (e.g. during overtaking),
it's possible to momentarily increase the
speed of the vehicle by pushing the acce-
lerator. The vehicle will return to the pre-
viously set speed when the pedal is relea-
sed.
RESETTING STORED SPEED
If the device is disengaged for one of the
following reasons:
❒ pressing the brake pedal;
❒ pressing the clutch (on vehicles with
manual gearbox);
❒ pressing the “CANCEL” button (4);

❒ 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.

FUEL FILLER CAP
The fuel filler cap is located on the left rear
side of the vehicle. The fuel filler lid can be
unlocked by pulling up the opener lever lo-
cated on the outboard side of the driver’s
seat and locked by simply closing the lid.
GEARSHIFT LEVER
Your vehicle is equipped with either a
manual transaxle or automatic transaxle.
The gearshift lever for each transaxle type
is shown in the illustrations. For details on
how to use the transaxle, refer to “Using
the Transaxle” in the “OPERATING
YOUR VEHICLE” section.

Remove the fuel filler cap
slowly. The fuel may be un-
der pressure and may spray out, caus-
ing injury.
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flam-
mable. Do not smoke when
refueling, and make sure there are no
open flames or sparks in the area.
WARNING
Manual transaxle: to change
gears properly you must
push the clutch pedal fully down. It is
therefore essential that there is noth-
ing under the pedals: make sure the
mats are lying flat and do not get in
the way of the pedals.
WARNING
IMPORTANT Do not drive with your
hand resting on the gear lever as the force
exerted, even if slight, could lead over time
to premature wear on the gearbox inter-
nal components.
