“LIMIT” SPEED
RESTRICTOR
(where provided)
“It is the chosen speed which the driver
does not wish to exceed”. This selection
can be made when the engine is running,
when the vehicle is stationary or in gear.
The minimum speed which can be pro-
grammed is 30 km/h.
The speed of the vehicle answers to the
pressure of the driver’s foot until the re-
sistance point of the accelerator pedal, to
indicate that the programmed speed has
been reached. However, the pressure on
the accelerator pedal beyond this point of
resistance allows the programmed speed
to be exceeded.To recover the use of the restrictor, it is
sufficient to progressively release the pres-
sure on the accelerator pedal and return
below the programmed speed.
In vehicles equipped with speed restric-
tors and regulators (depending on the
country of commercialisation and the en-
gine), the two functions cannot be acti-
vated at the same time.
The manipulations can be carried out both
when the vehicle is stationary and when
the vehicle is in gear.This restrictor visualises the state of the
function selection and the programmed
speed on the control lock:

symbol “Speed Re-
strictor”.

tion, last speed

Function Selection
Position the knob at the LIMITposition.
The restrictor is selected but it is not yet
active. The display indicates the last speed
programmed.
Speed Programming
This programming function can be carried
out without activating the restrictor, but
with the engine running.
In order to memorise a speed superior to
the previous one:
❒press the Set +key.
A slight pressure increases the speed by 1
km/h.
A constant pressure increases the speed
by steps of 5 km/h.
In order to memorise a speed less than
the previous one:
❒press the Set -key.
A slight pressure reduces the speed by 1
km/h.
A constant pressure reduces the speed by
steps of 5 km/h. Activation/deactivation (OFF)
By pressing the button the first time, it ac-
tivates the restrictor; a second time de-
activates it (OFF).

Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing on the accelerator pedal in order
to exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect, except if you press hard on the
pedal and you exceed the resistance point.
The restrictor is temporarily deactivated
and the programmed speed flashes.
In order to return to the restrictor func-
tion, reduce the speed until reaching a val-
ue inferior to the programmed speed.
Flashing of the speed indicator
The speed indicator flashes:
❒After having forced the accelerator re-
sistance point
❒When the restrictor cannot prevent
the increasing of the speed of the ve-
hicle due to the shape of the road or
due to a steep hill
❒In case of a powerful acceleration.Function Arrest
Move the knob to the 0position or take
out the starting key in order to arrest the
system. The last programmed speed is
memorised.Functioning Anomaly
The programmed speed is cancelled and
substituted by three dashes.
Please seek advice from the Fiat Dealer-
ship in order to have the system checked.
For a correct usage
The restrictor cannot, under any circum-
stances, substitute the respect of the
speed limit, nor the alertness and the re-
sponsibility of the driver. Be careful of the
shape of the road and powerful accelera-
tions. In order to hinder the functioning
of the pedals:
– Check that the car mat is in the correct
position
– Do not overlap several car mats.
