KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING
73)Do not put anything, especially if it is
heavy or blunt, on the boot. In case you
brake suddenly or have an accident, you
risk the safety of the vehicle's occupants.
CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator)
74) 75)
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance device that allows the
desired vehicle speed to be maintained,
without having to press the accelerator
pedal.
This device can be used at a speed
above 30 km/h on long stretches of dry,
straight roads with few variations (e.g.
motorways).

WARNING
74)The Cruise Control does not impact the
braking system in any case.
75)It provides a supplementary driving aid.
However, it does not replace the driver. It
cannot take the place of local speed limit
observations, attentiveness (always be
ready to brake) or driver responsibility. The
Cruise Control must not be used when
traffic is heavy, on winding or slippery
roads (ice, aquaplaning, gravel) or when
weather conditions are unfavourable (fog,
rain, wind gusts, etc.). Risk of accident.76)Be careful: we advise you to keep your
feet near the pedals so they are ready to
intervene in an emergency.
77)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
78)Putting the engine in stand-by or
deactivating the Cruise Control does not
rapidly lower the speed: you need to brake
using the brake pedal.
79)In case of a malfunction or failure of the
device, contact a Fiat Dealership.
80)The electronic Cruise Control can be
dangerous if the system cannot keep a
constant speed. In specific conditions
speed may be excessive, resulting in the
risk of losing control of the vehicle and
causing accidents. Do not use the device
in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or
slippery roads.
SPEED LIMITER
The cruise control is a function that
keeps you from going over a certain
pre-set speed limit.

Activation
81)
Press button 1 side. Warning light 6
fig. 154 turns orange and the message
"LIMITER" appears on the instrument
panel along with dashes to indicate that
the cruise control is active and waiting
for the speed limit recording.
To record the current speed, press
switch 2 (+): the speed limit replaces
the dashes.
The minimum speed that can be set is
30 km/h.
Guide
When the speed has been stored, until
this speed has been reached, driving is
the same as driving a vehicle not
equipped with cruise control.Once this limit has been reached, when
you press the accelerator, you cannot
exceed the programmed speed except
in the event of an emergency (refer to
the "Exceeding the set speed limit”
paragraph).
Variation in the speed limit
You can vary the speed limit by
pressing in succession:
button 2 fig. 155 (+) to increase the
speed;
button 3 fig. 155 (-) to decrease the
speed.
Exceeding the set speed limit
You can exceed the set speed limit at
any time by pressing hard on the
accelerator (beyond the "point of
resistance").
While exceeding the set speed, the set
speed flashes on the instrument panel,
along with an acoustic signal.Afterwards, release the accelerator: the
cruise control function will reactivate
when you reduce the speed to lower
than the stored one.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot maintain the set speed:
the stored speed will flash on the
instrument panel along with an
intermittent acoustic warning.
Impossible to maintain the set
speed limit
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot maintain the speed: the
stored speed will flash on the
instrument panel along with an
intermittent acoustic warning.
Placing the function in stand-by
The speed limiter can be disabled using
the switch 5 (O) fig. 156. In this case,
the speed limit is stored and is viewed
on the display in a dedicated message
together with the stored speed.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Recalling the stored speed limit
If speed data is stored, you can recall it
by pressing button 4 (R) fig. 156.
When the cruise control function is in
stand-by, pressing switch 2 fig. 156 will
reactivate the regulator function without
taking into account the stored speed:
the speed the vehicle is travelling will be
used.
Interrupting the function
The cruise control function can be
deactivated; in this case, the speed is
no longer stored. The orange warning
light
on the instrument panel turns
off to confirm that the speed limiter has
been turned off.
WARNING
81)The Speed Limiter does not impact the
braking system in any case.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
Temperature of the exhaust gases
The system controlling the exhaust lets
you identify the malfunctions of the
vehicle's anti-pollution device. These
faults can cause an excess in polluting
emissions and cause mechanical
damage.
This warning light on the instrument
panel indicates any system function
failure:
If it stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible;
If it flashes, you need to reduce the
engine running until the flashing stops.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Refer to the information in the "AdBblue
(Urea) additive tank" paragraph in the
"Knowing your vehicle" chapter.
The vehicle was designed with
environmental friendliness in mind for its
entire life cycle: from manufacture to
use up to the end of its life cycle.
Manufacture
The vehicle's manufacture has been
carried out at an industrial factory that
applies advanced procedures aimed at
environmental impact reduction with
respect to the inhabitants and nature in
the surrounding areas (reduction ofwater and power consumption,
atmospheric and water emissions,
disposal and evaluation of waste).
Emissions
While it is being used, the vehicle was
designed to emit a lower quantity of
greenhouse gasses (CO
2) and
therefore lower consumption (ex.:
170 g/km amounts to 6.4 l/100 km for
a Diesel vehicle).
Moreover, the cars are equipped with
anti-pollution systems such as the
catalytic exhaust, oxygen sensor, etc.
For some vehicles, this system is
rounded out with an anti-particulate
filter that allows a reduction in particle
emissions.
Used and replaced parts on sale during
regular servicing (battery, oil filter, air
filter, batteries, etc.) and oil tanks (both
empty and full of used oil) must be
delivered to specialised waste disposal
consortiums.
To hand the vehicle over at the end of
its life without extra cost, contact one of
our dealerships if you are purchasing
another vehicle or an FCA-authorised
collection and scrapping centre. These
centres have been carefully chosen to
offer high quality service for the
collection, treatment and recycling of
vehicles at their end of life, respecting
the surrounding environment.

AND ON-BOARD
INSTRUMENTS
On-board computer 1 fig. 167
Depending on the vehicle version, it
includes the following functions:
distance travelled;
travel parameters;
information messages;
malfunction messages (together with
warning lights
);
alarm messages (together with the
STOPwarning light).
Selection buttons for displaying
Scroll up (button 9) or down (button 10)
for the following information, pressing a
few times briefly (the display will depend
on the vehicle's equipment and country
of sale) fig. 168.You can view the following information
on the display screen:
overall and partial odometer for the
distance travelled;
fuel consumed;
average fuel consumption;
instantaneous consumption;
foreseeable autonomy;
distance travelled;
average speed;
service limit, oil change counter;
tyre pressure re-initialisation;
speed set on the Cruise Control /
Speed Limiter;
time and temperature;
on-board log, information message
scrolling and operational malfunction;
percentage volume of remaining
additives.Resetting the trip odometer
When the "overall and partial milometer"
display is selected, press either button
9 or 10 fig. 168 until the milometer is
reset to zero.
Resetting travel parameters
When one of the trip parameters is
selected on the display, press button
9 or 10 fig. 168 until the display is reset.
Interpreting some of the displayed
values after resetting
The further you travel after the last
reset, the more accurate and significant
the average fuel consumption,
autonomy and average speed become.
During the first kilometers travelled after
resetting, you will notice that the
autonomy increases as you travel. This
is because the system takes the
average fuel consumption since the last
reset into account. The average fuel
consumption can decrease when:
the vehicle is no longer accelerating;
the engine reaches operating
temperature (reset: cold engine);
going from urban to extra-urban
driving.
Automatic travel parameter reset
Reset is automatic when one of the
parameter's capacities is exceeded.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

control system are deactivated. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
PBA (Panic Brake
Assist) SYSTEM
This is a complementary system to the
ABS that lets you reduce the vehicle's
braking distance.
Operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In such cases, the
power brake immediately creates the
maximum braking, causing the ABS
system to also intervene.
ABS intervention lasts until the brake
pedal is released.
Hazard warning lights on
Depending on the versions, these lights
can go on when you slow down
abruptly.
Anticipated braking
Depending on the versions, when you
quickly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates braking so as to
diminish the braking distance.
When using Cruise Control:
if you are using the accelerator pedal,
with you release it, the system can
activate;
if you are not using the accelerator
pedal, the system will not activate.Irregular operation
When the system detects an
operational irregularity, the message to
that effect will appear on the instrument
panel with the alarm light
going
on.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
TSA (Trailer Stability
Assist) DRIVING
ASSISTANCE WITH A
TRAILER
This system helps you maintain control
of the vehicle in case you are using a
trailer. It detects the swinging motion of
the trailer in certain driving conditions.
Operating conditions
The two system must be authorised
by the Fiat Dealership;
the wiring has to be approved by a
Fiat Dealership;
the trailer has to be connected to the
vehicle.
Operating principle
The function stabilises the vehicle by:
asymmetrical front wheel braking to
reduce swinging caused by the trailer;
four wheel braking and a limitation in
engine torque to reduce the vehicle
speed until the swinging stops.
The warning light
flashes on the
instrument panel to inform you of the
situation.
TRACTION PLUS (GRIP
CONTROL)

22)
Where the vehicle is provided with one,
road grip check ensures easier control
of the vehicle in conditions where grip is
reduced (crumbly terrain).
"Road" mode
When the vehicle is started, the
appropriate message appears on the
display screen. The indicator light
on the instrument panel is off. This
position guarantees optimal use in
normal road conditions (dry, wet
roadbed, light snow, etc.).
The "Road" mode uses the traction
control system functions.
