CRUISE CONTROL
(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.
DEVICE ENGAGEMENT fig. 61
Turn knurled ring Ato ON.
The Cruise Control cannot be engaged
in first or reverse gear. It is advisable to
engage it in 4th
or 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.TO MEMORISE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn the knurled ring Ato ON and
press the accelerator pedal to the re-
quired speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at least
one second, then release it. The car
speed is memorised and it is therefore
possible to release the accelerator
pedal.
In the case of need (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible simply
pressing the accelerator pedal: releasing
the accelerator pedal, the car will return
to the speed memorised previously.
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 memo-
rised;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of
speed memorising;
❒press the RES Bbutton.

TO INCREASE THE MEMORISED
SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒pressing the accelerator and then
memorising the new speed reached;
or
❒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.
TO REDUCE MEMORISED
SPEED
The speed memorised can be increased in
two ways:
❒disengaging the device and then mem-
orising the new speed;
or
❒moving the stalk downwards (–) until
reaching the new speed which will be
memorised 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.DEVICE DISENGAGEMENT
The device can be disengaged in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒turning the knurled ring Ato OFF;
❒turning the engine off;
❒pressing the brake pedal or engaging
the hand brake;
❒pressing the clutch pedal;
❒shifting gear with automatic transmis-
sion in sequential mode;
❒with car speed below the preset lim-
it;
❒pressing the accelerator pedal; in this
case the system is not really disen-
gaged 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 to resume previous conditions
after ending acceleration.The device is automatically deactivated in
one of the following cases:
❒ABS or ESP system cut-in;
❒system failure.
When travelling with the de-
vice on, never set the
gearshift lever to neutral.
WARNING
In the event of device mal-
function or failure, turn the
knurled ring A to OFF and contact a
Fiat Dealership after checking the
protection fuse integrity.

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. Certain versions
are equipped with an additional safety
switch that in the event of a crash comes
into operation by cutting off the power sup-
ply. These two safety switches therefore
prevent dangerous fuel leaks due to fuel line
cracking and sparks or electric discharges
due to damaging or malfunctioning of the
electric components of the car in the event
of a crash.
IMPORTANT After a crash, remember to
remove the key from the ignition device
to prevent battery run-down.
If, after a crash no fuel leaks or damages
to the electric devices (e.g. headlights) are
found and the car can be started again, re-
set the fuel cut-off switch and the power
supply cut-off switch (where provided).
Follow the instructions given below.
fig. 66F0L0230mfig. 67F0L0036m
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switches to
avoid fire risk.
