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. 73
Turn knurled ring Ato ON.
The Cruise Control cannot be engaged
in first or reverse gear. It is advisable to
engage it in 4
thor higher gears.
Travelling downhill with the device en-
gaged, the vehicle 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 ve-
hicle speed is memorised and it is
therefore possible to release the ac-
celerator pedal.
In the case of need (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible simply
pressing the accelerator pedal: releasing
the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will re-
turn 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 button RES B.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly. Contact Fiat Dealership
to have the headlights properly adjusted.

HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
It works with ignition key at MARand

Contact Fiat Dealership to have the head-
lights properly adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT
ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are adjusted
for circulation in the country in which the

posite circulation, to avoid glaring on-
coming vehicles, it is necessary to cover
the areas of the headlight using a special
sticker tape provided for the purpose.

BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance
integral with ESP) (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
brake 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 multifunction display, where pro-
vided).
ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the vehicle stability in the event
of tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road sur-
faces changes.
In addition to the ESP system, ASR system
and Hill Holder, (where provided) also the
MSR system (adjusting the engine braking
torque) and the HBA system (improving
the braking force during emergency brak-
ing) are provided.
ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-
ing light áon the instrument panel, to in-
form the driver that the vehicle is in crit-
ical stability and grip conditions.
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
EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>and xon the in-
strument panel together with the dedi-
cated message on the multifunction dis-
play (where provided), (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
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.
If warning light xalone
comes on (together with the
message on the multifunction display,
where provided), stop the vehicle im-
mediately and contact the nearest Fi-
at Dealership. Fluid leaks from the hy-
draulic system, in fact, can compro-
mise the braking system, both tradi-
tional systems and systems with ABS.
