CRUISE CONTROL
SPEED REGULATOR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
“It is the speed desired by the driver”.
This driving aid allows, in case of smooth-
flowing traffic, to maintain the speed pro-
grammed by the driver constant, except
in the case of a very steep hill.
In order to be programmed or activated,
the speed of the vehicle must be more
than 40 km/h, in at least the 4th gear.When vehicles are equipped with both the
restrictor and the regulator (depending on
the country of commercialisation and the
engine), the two functions cannot be ac-
tivated at the same time.This regulator shows on the control lock
the state of the function selection and it
shows the programmed speed:

“LIMIT” SPEED
RESTRICTOR
(for versions/markets, 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”.

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).

PNEUMATIC
SUSPENSIONS
In some versions the tires rear suspen-
sions self-leveling may be included as an
optional.
According to versions suspensions can be
adjusted manually or automatically.
MANUAL ADJUSTMENT
The controls fig.109are located in the
rear right of the vehicle.
Height adjustment
The height adjustment varies from a max-
imum alignmentto an intermediate
alignmentto a minimum alignment.
The reaching of the two stabilities, maxi-
mum or minimum is signalled by 3 “beeps”.
By pressing down twice on one of the A
buttons (starting from the minimum align-
ment position) or one of the Bbuttons
(starting from the maximum alignment po-
sition), the system will automatically ad-
just the setting to the intermediate align-
ment.
fig. 109F0P0102m
Before starting the manual
adjustment procedure with
doors open, make sure there
is enough space around the
vehicle.
First-time use
To initialize the system, keep pushbutton
C-fig.109pressed for 2 seconds
Operating faults
If, when acting on the controls, the sus-
pensions do not adjust, 3 acoustic warn-
ings indicate a system malfunction.
This malfunction could be due to one of
these causes:
❒the brake pedal is pressed and the ig-
nition key is in Mposition
❒excessive use of the system manual ad-
justment;
❒the battery is low (or completely dis-
charged);
❒a tire suspension system error.
If the acoustic warning persists, contact
the Fiat Dealership. The required height level should be set
with vehicle at a standstill and engine run-
ning or off.
With engine off, manual adjustment is on-
ly possible for a restricted number of
times.
IMPORTANT Only make adjustments
with vehicle stationary and:
❒front and side doors closed;
❒handbrake engaged;
❒without pressing the brake pedal.
