TO RESET THE MEMORISED
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 memorised;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of
speed memorising (4thor 5thgear);
❒press button C-fig. 56.TO REDUCE MEMORISED SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒ disengaging the device and then mem-
orising the new speed;
or
❒keeping the knurled ring B-fig. 56to
(–) until reaching the new speed which
will be memorised automatically.
Each turn of the knurled ring will corre-
spond to a slight reduction in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the knurled ring
turned will correspond to a continuous
speed reduction. TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED
SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒ pressing the accelerator and then mem-
orising the new speed reached;
or
❒turning the knurled ring B-fig. 56tem-
porarily to (+).
Each turn of the knurled ring will corre-
spond to a slight increase in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the knurled ring
turned will correspond to a continuous
speed increase.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>on the instrument pan-
el together with the dedicated message on
the display (see section “Warning lights
and messages”). In this case the braking
system is still efficient, though without the
aid of the ABS system. Drive carefully to
the closest Fiat Dealership to have the sys-
tem checked.EBD failure
If the warning lights
>and x(together
with the message on the display) come on
this indicates a fault in the EBD system
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In this case with sharp braking the rear
wheels might lock too early, with the pos-
sibility of skidding. Drive extremely care-
fully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance)
(where provided)
The system, which cannot be cut out, rec-
ognizes emergency braking (on the ground
of the brake pedal operation speed) and
considerably increases the pressure in the
braking circuit.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions
equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP sys-
tem failure (indicated by warning light
áswitching on together with the message
on the display).
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.
WARNING
If warning light xcomes on
(together with the message
on the display), stop the car imme-
diately and contact the nearest Fiat
Dealership. Fluid leaks from the hy-
draulic system, in fact, can compro-
mise the braking system, both tradi-
tional systems and systems with ABS.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre-
road grip at the best, but it
cannot improve it; you should there-
fore take every care when driving on
slippery surfaces without taking un-
necessary risks.

ESP SYSTEM (Electronic
Stability Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the car stability in the event of
tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road
surfaces changes.
ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-
ing light
áon the instrument panel, to in-
form the driver that the car is in critical
stability and grip conditions.
ESP SYSTEM OPERATION
The ESP system is automatically activat-
ed when the car is started and cannot be
de-activated.FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is
automatically disconnected and the warn-
ing light
áwill turn on glowing steadily on
the instrument panel, together with the
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”). In this
case, go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Performance of the ESP sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility an traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.
WARNING
ESP SYSTEM INITIALISATION
(after disconnecting the battery)
After reconnecting the battery, to restore
regular operation of the ESP system, pro-
ceed as follows:
❒turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn both
clockwise and counterclockwise (to
pass through position “straight
wheels”);
❒turn the ignition key to STOPand then
back to MAR.
A few seconds later the warning light will
turn off; if it stays on contact Fiat Dealer-
ship.
These operations can also be performed
with the engine on.
During the use of the space-
saver spare wheel, the ESP
system carries on working. However,
you must remind that the space-saver
spare wheel has dimensions smaller
than the standard tyre and therefore
its grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.
WARNING
For correct operation of the
ESP system, the tyres must
absolutely be of the same brand and
type on all wheels, in perfect condi-
tions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.

ASR SYSTEM
(Antislip Regulation)
It is an integral part of the ESP system, it
controls car drive and cuts in automati-
cally every time one or both driving
wheels slip.
According to slipping conditions, two dif-
ferent control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both the driving
wheels, the ASR function intervenes re-
ducing the power transmitted by the
engine;
❒if the slipping involves only one driving
wheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-
matically braking the wheel that is slip-
ping.
The action of the ASR is particularly help-
ful in the following circumstances:
❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or ex-
cessive acceleration;
❒ too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the conditions
of the road surface;
❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces;
❒in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-
face (aquaplaning).Switching on/off of the ASR system
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
Switching on/off is indicated by the rele-
vant message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
When travelling ASR can be switched off
and on again pressing switch A-fig. 123
on the central console.
When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led on the
switch and by the relevant message on the
display (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
If the ASR is switched off when travelling,
it will turn on again automatically the next
time the engine is started.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the
ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slip-
ping of the driving wheels when moving off
makes it possible to obtain better drive.
The performance of the sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility an traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.

ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED BY THE
OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install
electrical accessories that require a per-
manent electric supply (alarm, satellite an-
titheft system, etc.) or accessories that in
any case burden the electric supply, con-
tact Fiat Dealership, whose qualified per-
sonnel, besides suggesting the most suit-
able devices belonging to Lineaccessori Fi-
at, will also evaluate the overall electric ab-
sorption, checking whether the car’s elec-
tric system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be inte-
grated with a more powerful battery.
INSTALLATION OF
ELECTRIC/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed after
buying the car or in aftermarket shall bear
the and marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation
of transceivers provided that installation
is carried out at a specialized shop, work-
manlike performed and in compliance with
manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Installation of devices re-
sulting in modifications of car characteris-
tics may cause driving license seizing by
traffic agents and also the lapse of the war-
ranty as concerns defects due to the
abovementioned modification or traceable
back to it directly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility
for damages caused by the installation of
non-genuine accessories or not recom-
mended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installed
not in compliance with the specified re-
quirements.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND CELLULAR
TELEPHONES
Mobile phones and other radio transceiv-
er equipment (e.g.: HAM radio systems
and the like) shall not be used inside the
car unless a separate aerial is mounted.
IMPORTANT The use of mobile phones,
HAM radio systems or other similar de-
vices inside the passenger compartment
(without separate aerial) may cause elec-
tronic systems equipping the car to mal-
function. This could compromise safety in
addition to constituting a potential hazard
for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns the use of mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS) with homolo-
gation, keep strictly to the mobile phone
manufacturer's specifications.
Take care when fitting addi-
tional spoilers, alloy rims and
non-standard wheel caps: they might
reduce ventilation of the brakes, thus
their efficiency, during abrupt and re-
peated braking, or long downhill
slopes. Make sure that nothing (mats,
etc.) gets in the way of the pedals
when they are pushed down.

PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 126(saloon versions) and
fig. 127 (Multi Wagon versions) and their
function is to inform the driver, through
an intermittent buzzer, about the pres-
ence of obstacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION
Sensors are automatically activated when
the reverse gear is engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind
the car decreases, the acoustic alarm be-
comes more frequent.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the reduction of dis-
tance between the car and the obstacle
decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance
between the car and the obstacle is less
that 30 cm and stops immediately if the
distance raises.
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried.
If this situation takes place for side sen-
sors, the signal is stopped after about 3
seconds to prevent sound indications
when performing manoeuvres near
walls.
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in non-
compliance of the car with homolo-
gation requirements.
WARNING
Always switch the engine off,
remove the key from the
starting device and actuate the steer-
ing lock before carrying out any main-
tenance operation, especially when
the wheels are raised from the
ground. In case this is not possible
(e.g. when the key must be in MAR
position or the engine running), re-
move the electric power steering
main fuse before carrying out any
maintenance operation.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of sensor failures, when en-
gaging the reverse gear the driver is
warned by the turning on of warning light
èon the instrument panel and by the rel-
evant message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated
automatically when the trailer electric ca-
ble plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing
the trailer cable plug.GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care to
obstacles set above or under the sen-
sors.
❒Objects set close to the car front or
rear part, under certain circumstances
are not detected and could therefore
cause damages to the car.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasound sys-
tems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or
pneumatic hammers) set nearby the
car. For proper operation, the
parking sensors set on the
bumpers shall be clean from
mud, dirt, snow or ice. When
cleaning the sensors, take the utmost
care to prevent their damaging; do not
use therefore dry or rough clothes. Sen-
sors shall be washed with clean water
and car detergent, if required. In wash-
ing stations, clean sensors quickly keep-
ing the vapour jet/high pressure wash-
ing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the
sensors.
Parking manoeuvres howev-
er are always under the dri-
ver’s responsibility that shall always
check the absence of people (spe-
cially children) or animals in the ma-
noeuvre space. This system is just a
help for the driver but she/he shall
never reduce attention during dan-
gerous manoeuvres even if performed
at low speed.
