Air recirculation
on/off button (C)
Air recirculation works
according to the follow-
ing operating logics:
❒forced switching on (inside air recir-
culation always on), indicated by the
turning off of the button led C-fig. 62
and symbol íon the display;
❒function off (air recirculation always
off and introduction of external air),
indicated by the fact that the LED on
the button will go off and symbol
ê
will appear on the display.
These operating conditions are obtained
by pressing Cin sequence.
For safety reasons, the system will auto-
matically turn the recycling function off to
allow the introduction of fresh air after a
certain time.IMPORTANT The air recirculation func-
tion makes it possible to reach the re-
quired heating or cooling conditions faster.
It is however inadvisable to use it on
rainy/cold days as it would considerably
increase the possibility of the windows
misting inside, especially if the climate con-
trol compressor is off.
Recirculation is forced off (i.e. air is in-
troduced from the outside) when the the
outside temperature is cold to prevent
misting up.
Climate control
compressor on/off
button (B)
Press button
√when
the LED on the button
is on, to turn the climate
control compressor off. The LED will go
out. Press the button when the LED is off
to restore automatically system control
and use of the compressor. The LED will
light up on the button in this case.
The system will switch recirculation off
when the compressor is switched off to
prevent misting up. Although the system
is capable of maintaining the requiredtemperature, the word FULLwill disap-
pear from the display. If on the other
hand the system cannot maintain the
required temperature, the digits will
blink and the word AUTOwill disap-
pear.
IMPORTANT With the compressor off,
it is not possible to introduced air cool-
er than ambient temperature into the
passenger compartment. Furthermore,
in certain conditions, the windows could
mist up rapidly because the air is not
dehumidified.
The switching off of the climate control
compressor remains in storage even
when the engine has been stopped. To
restore automatic compressor control,
press √again (in this case, the system
will only work as a heater) or press
AUTO.
When the compressor is off, if the
external temperature is hotter than the
set temperature and the system cannot
satisfy the request, the digits of the set
temperature will blink for a few seconds
and the message AUTOwill go out.
With climate control compressor off,
the fan speed can be set to zero manual-
ly (no bar shown).
With the compressor on and the engine
started, the fan speed may be reduced to
the minimum setting (only one bar
shown).
It is advisable not to use the
air recirculation function
when the outside temperature is low
to prevent the windows from rapidly
misting up.

CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator) (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.
TURING THE DEVICE ON
Turn the ring A-fig. 75to ON.
The device can be turned on in 4th or 5th
gear only. Travelling downhill with the de-
vice engaged, 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
(where provided).

STORING THE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring A-fig. 75to ONand press
the accelerator pedal to the required
speed;
❒push the lever upwards (+) for at
least 1 second, then release it: the
car speed will be stored. The accel-
erator pedal may be released.
If needed (e.g. for overtaking), press the
accelerator pedal to accelerate: the car
will return to the previously set speed
when the pedal is released.RESTORING MEMORIZED
SPEED
If the device has been disengaged, for ex-
ample by pressing the brake or clutch ped-
al, the memorized speed can be reset as
follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a
speed approaching the stored speed;
❒engage the gear selected when the
speed was stored (4th or 5th gear);
❒press button RES B-fig. 75.
INCREASING THE MEMORIZED
SPEED
The stored speed can be increased in two
ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and then
storing the new speed reached;
or
❒ by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will correspond
to a slight increase in speed (about 1 km/h),
while keeping the stalk upwards will cor-
respond to a continuous speed increase.
When travelling with the de-
vice on, never set the
gearshift lever to neutral.

ABS SYSTEM
If you have never driven a vehicle with
ABS before, it is advisable to perform a
few tests on slippery ground, naturally in
conditions of safety and respecting the
Highway Code of the country where you
are driving. Read the following informa-
tion carefully.
The car is fitted with an ABS braking sys-
tem, which prevents the wheels from lock-
ing when braking, makes the most of road
grip and gives the best control when
emergency braking under difficulty road
conditions.
System is completed by EBD (Electronic
Braking force Distribution), which dis-
tributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT The braking system needs
to settle for approximately 500 km: dur-
ing this time, avoid sudden, repeated and
prolonged braking.ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by a
slight pulsing of the brake pedal accom-
panied by noise: such an event indicates
that you need to adjust your speed to the
type of road on which you are travelling.
When the ABS intervenes it means that
you are approaching the grip limit be-
tween tyres and road: slow down to ex-
ploit all the available grip.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>on the instrument pan-
el together with the dedicated message on
the multifunctional display (where pro-
vided), (see section “Warning lights and
messages”). In the case, the braking sys-
tem will work as normal without the ex-
tra potentials offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership to have the system checked.EBD failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light >and xon the instru-
ment panel together with the dedicated
message on the multifunctional display
(where provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”). In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehi-
cle may swerve when braking sharply. Dri-
ve carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
When the ABS intervenes it
means that you are ap-
proaching the grip limit between tyres
and road: slow down to exploit all the
available grip.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the tyre-
road grip at the best, but it
cannot improve it; you should there-
fore take every care when driving on
slippery surfaces without taking un-
necessary risks.
WARNING
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.
