IMPORTANT The remote controller is
a sensitive electronic instrument. To avoid
damaging the remote controller:
❒Do not expose it to impacts, moisture
or high temperature such as on the
dashboard under direct sunlight.
❒Keep the remote controller away from
magnetic objects such as a television.
You can also turn the ignition switch by
inserting the ignition key into the slot.
If you leave any of the doors open with the
ignition switch in the “ACC” position for
a while (and no key inserted), the engine
may not start when you turn the ignition
switch to “START”. If the engine does not
start, close all doors completely or turn
the ignition switch back to the “LOCK”
position, then start the engine.
The ignition switch has the following four
positions:ACC (2)
Accessories such as the radio can oper-
ate, but the engine is off.
ON (3)
This is the normal operating position. All
electrical systems are on.
START (4)
This is the position for starting the engine
using the starter motor. The switch should
be released from this position as soon as
the engine starts.
Ignition switch reminder
(When using the keyless start system)
A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to return the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position if it is in the “ACC” po-
sition when the driver’s door is opened. LOCK (1)
This is the normal parking position. It is
the only position in which the key can be
removed. It locks the ignition, and pre-
vents normal use of the steering wheel.
If your vehicle is equipped with the auto-
matic transaxle key inter lock system, the
ignition switch can be turned to the
“LOCK” position only when the gearshift
lever is in the “P” (Park) position.
To release the steering lock, turn the ig-
nition switch clockwise to one of the oth-
er positions. If you have trouble turning
the ignition switch to unlock the steer-
ing, try turning the steering wheel slightly
to the right or left while turning the
switch.
Manual transaxle vehicle
You must push in the ignition switch to
turn it from the “LOCK” position to the
“ACC” position. To return to the
“LOCK” position from the “ACC” posi-
tion, turn the ignition switch counter-
clockwise while pushing in the switch.
Automatic transaxle vehicle
To turn the ignition switch, push the
switch.

power sunroof. They also could suf-
fer from heat stroke in warm or hot
weather. These could result in severe
injury or even death.

❒ following ESP®system intervention (for
versions/markets, where provided),
to reset the stored speed, follow these
steps.
❒ Accelerate gently, bringing the vehicle
close to the stored speed.
❒ Engage the gear selected at the time the
previous speed was stored.
❒ Press the “RES/ACC” button (2).
INCREASE IN STORED SPEED
When Cruise Control is operating, there
are two ways to increase the stored
speed:
❒ by pressing the accelerator and then
storing the new speed reached,
or
❒ by pressing the “RES/ACC” button (2).
Each time the button is pressed, this
corresponds to a constant increase in
speed, while holding the button down
increases the speed in a continuous
manner.REDUCTION OF STORED
SPEED
When Cruise Control is operating, there
are two ways to reduce the stored speed:
❒ by disengaging the device and then sto-
ring the new speed,
or
❒ by pressing the “SET/COAST” button
(3). Each time the button is pressed, this
corresponds to a constant decrease in
speed, while holding the button down
decreases the speed in a continuous
manner.
DISENGAGING OF THE DEVICE
The device is disengaged in one of the fol-
lowing cases:
❒ pressing the “CANCEL” button (4);
❒ pressing the brake pedal;
❒ pressing the clutch (on vehicles with
manual gearbox);
❒ switching off the engine (starter swit-
ch set to “OFF”);
❒ by disabling the system (“MAIN” but-
ton (1) set to “OFF”);
❒ when the vehicle speed is reduced by
approximately 20% compared with the
set speed;❒ when the vehicle speed is below 36
km/h (22 mph);
❒ in the event of ESP
®system interven-
tion (where provided);
❒ in the event of system breakdown.
NOTE By pressing the accelerator, the sy-
stem is not actually disengaged, but the re-
quired acceleration takes precedence over
maintaining the stored speed: Cruise Con-
trol, however, remains enabled and will
return to the previous condition once the
accelerator has been released, without ha-
ving to press the “RES/ACC” button (2).
IMPORTANT When travelling with the
device on, never set the gearshift lever to
neutral.
IMPORTANT In the event of malfunction
or failure, disable the device (“MAIN” but-
ton (1) set to “OFF”) and see your Fiat
Dealership.

The light should go out after starting the
engine and fully releasing the parking
brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid
reservoir is adequate.
The light also comes on together with the
ABS warning light when the rear brake
force control function (Proportioning
valve function) of the ABS system fails.
If the brake system warning light comes
on while you are driving the vehicle, it may
mean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle’s brake system. If this happens,
you should:
❒Pull off the road and stop carefully.
❒Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping at the side of the road.
– If you determine that it is safe, drive
carefully at low speed to the near-
est dealer for repairs, or
WARNING AND
INDICATOR LIGHTS
BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING
LIGHT
65D477
For working check of this light, there are
following three different type operations
depending on the vehicle’s specification.
❒The light comes on briefly when the ig-
nition switch is turned to the “ON”
and/or “START” position.
❒The light comes on when the parking
brake is engaged with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position.
❒The light comes on when under either
or both of above two conditions.
The light also comes on when the fluid in
the brake fluid reservoir falls below the
specified level.
Remember that stopping dis-
tance may be longer, you
may have to push harder on the ped-
al, and the pedal may go down far-
ther than normal.
WARNING
If any of the following con-
ditions occur, you should im-
mediately ask your Fiat Dealership to
inspect the brake system.
If the brake system warning light does
not go out after the engine has been
started and the parking brake has
been fully released.
If the brake system warning light does
not come on when the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON” or “START”
position.
If the brake system warning light
comes on at any time during vehicle
operation.
WARNING
– Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
dealer for repairs.
NOTE Because the disc brake system is
selfadjusting, the fluid level will drop as the
brake pads become worn. Replenishing
the brake fluid reservoir is considered
normal periodic maintenance.

When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the light comes on briefly
so you can check that the light is working.
If the light stays on, or comes on when dri-
ving, there may be something wrong with
the ABS.
If this happens:
❒Pull off the road and stop carefully.
❒Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”
and then start the engine again.
If the warning light comes on briefly then
turns off, the system is normal. If the warn-
ing light still stays on, the system will be
something wrong.
If the light and the brake system warning
light stay on, or come on simultaneously
when driving, your ABS system is
equipped with the rear brake force con-
trol function (Proportioning valve func-
tion) and there may be something wrong
with both the rear brake force control
function and anti-lock function of the ABSSLIP INDICATOR LIGHT

thing wrong with the ESP
®systems (other
than ABS). You should have the system in-
spected by your FIAT Dealership.
