Resetting the circuit breaker
Before resetting the cir-
cuit breaker, carefully
check for any fuel leaks or
damages to the car electric devices
(e.g.: headlights).Circuit breaker is located on the left
side of the boot, inside a box directly
set and connected to the battery pos-
itive terminal.
To reach the circuit breaker:
1) Open the tailgate.
2) Loosen knob A(fig. 130) and re-
move the battery cover B.
3) Press tabs A(fig. 131) and re-
move cover B.
4) Press button A(fig. 132) to reset
the circuit breaker.Initialising the control units of
the door locks, air conditioner
and ESP system
After resetting the circuit breaker, to
restore correct door locking, air con-
ditioning and ESP system, perform
the following operations:
1) Close the doors and the tailgate,
fit the key into the lock of one of the
front doors and perform a door cen-
tralised opening/closing cycle.
2) Start the engine and turn on the
compressor of the conditioner, setting
a lower temperature value than that
of the environment and check
whether the led on the disconnection
push button of the conditioner com-
pressor òis lit.
3) Turn the steering wheel one
fourth turn at least (the car can be at
standstill but the engine shall be run-
ning) and start running the car for a

Ring Ahas four positions:
OFF: system off
x: greatest distance from the vehi-
cle ahead
x: intermediate distance from the
vehicle ahead
x: shortest distance from the vehi-
cle ahead.
The distance between the two vehi-
cles is gradually increased as the
speed is increased, set levels being
equal.
IMPORTANTTurn the ignition
key to STOPor ring Ato OFF, to
delete the stored speed and switch
the system off. To restore system
operation, turn the ring Ato OFF
and repeat the setting operations.When the system is on, that is, ring
Ais in any position other than OFF,
symbol úlights up on the multi-
function display, together with mes-
sage “RADAR CRUISE CONTROL
ON”. The warning light will remain
on until the system is switched off by
turning ring Ato OFF.
Ring Bis used to store the car
speed and keep it constant, or to
increase or decrease the stored
speed.
Turn ring Bto (+) to store the
speed reached or increase the stored
speed.
Turn ring Bto (–) to decrease the
stored speed. Slowing down can also
be obtained, when required, by
braking system automatic operation.
Every time ring Bis turned, the
speed is increased or decreased by
about 1 km/h. By keeping the ring
rotated, the stored speed will change
continuously at intervals of 10
km/h. The new speed reached will
be maintained automatically.
When ring Bis turned, the car’s
actual speed is considered as refer-
ence speed (cruise speed). This
speed can automatically decrease
depending on traffic conditions, and
the system can shift from the speed
control condition to the distance
control condition. The driver is
informed of the system’s operating
condition by the instrument panel
display.
Button C(RCL) allows to reset the
stored speed. In fact, when driving
the car with the system on, the dri-
ver can switch the system off by sim-
ply braking. In this case, the cruise
speed previously set is kept in the
memory and can be enabled again at
any time by pressing button RCL.
