CRUISE CONTROL(constant speed regulator)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronically controlled driving assistance
device which allows the car to be driven at a chosen
speed above 30 km/h on long stretches of dry,
straight roads with few variations (e.g. motorways),
without having to depress the accelerator pedal.
The use of this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic is not therefore recommended. Do not use
the device in town.
TURNING THE DEVICE ON
Turn the ring nut A fig. 42 to the ON position.
The device must only be switched on in 4th gear or
higher. When travelling downhill with the device
engaged, the vehicle speed may slightly exceed the
preset one.The activation is indicated by the turning on of
warning light
on the instrument panel (together
with the dedicated message on the display) (see
“Warning lights and messages” chapter).
STORING THE VEHICLE SPEED
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A fig. 42 to ON and press the
accelerator pedal so that the car reaches the
desired speed;
❒turn the ring nut B to (+) for at least three
seconds, then release it. The vehicle speed is now
memorised and you can therefore release the
accelerator pedal.
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can
accelerate simply by depressing the accelerator pedal;
when you release the pedal, the vehicle goes back
to the speed set previously.
RESTORING STORED SPEED
If the device has been switched off, for example by
depressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised
speed can be restored as follows:
❒accelerate progressively until a speed close to that
stored is reached;
❒engage the gear selected at the time that the
speed was memorised (4th, 5th or 6th gear);
❒press button C fig. 42.

FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
(as an alternative to the fuel cut-off system, for
versions/markets where provided)
It is located in the bottom, near the passenger side
pillar fig. 48. It is triggered in the event of an impact,
causing:
❒the fuel supply cut-off with the engine
consequently switching off;
❒the automatic unlocking of the doors;
❒the interior lights being switched on (for about 15
minutes).
The intervention of the switch is indicated by the
switching on of the
warning light on the
instrument panel or the
symbol on the display
(together with a message) (see “Warning lights and
messages” section).Carefully check the car for fuel leaks, for instance in
the engine compartment, under the car or near
the tank area.
If no fuel leaks are found and the car can be started
again, press button A to reactivate the fuel system
and the lights.
After a collision, turn the ignition key to STOP to
prevent the battery from running down.
WARNING
If, after a collision, you smell fuel or
notice leaks from the fuel supply system,
do not reset the switch to avoid fire risk.

remote control
Press button
even with alarm (for versions/
markets where provided) on.
Luggage compartment opening is indicated by the
double flashing of the direction indicators; tailgate
closing is indicated by single flashing (only with

If the tailgate is opened when the alarm is on, the
system will:
❒switch off the volume sensing protection;
❒switch off the anti-lift protection;
❒switch off the tailgate control sensor.
When the tailgate is closed again, all the functions
are restored.
CLOSING
Lower the tailgate, pressing near the lock until you

Use both hands to lift the bonnet . Before
lifting, check that the windscreen wiper
arms are not raised from the windscreen,
that the car is stationary and that the handbrake
is engaged.CLOSING
Proceed as follows:
❒hold the bonnet up with one hand and with the
other remove the stay C fig. 86 from the housing
D and fit it back in its locking device;
❒lower the bonnet to approximately 20 centimetres
from the engine compartment and let it drop.
Make sure that the bonnet is completely closed
and not only fastened by the safety catch by trying
to open it. If it is not perfectly closed, do not try
to press the bonnet lid down but open it and
repeat the procedure.
If the bonnet is not closed properly, the warning light
or the symbol
switch on in the instrument
panel (together with the dedicated message on the
display) (see “Warning lights and messages” chapter).
IMPORTANT Always check that the bonnet is closed
correctly to avoid it opening while the car is
travelling.
WARNING
Perform these operations only when the
car is stationary.

HEADLIGHTSLIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct aiming of the headlights is important for
the comfort and safety of not only the driver but
all other road users. This is also covered by a specific
rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aligned to
guarantee the best visibility conditions for all drivers
while travelling with headlights on.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the lights checked
and adjusted, if necessary.
IMPORTANT When the gas discharge (Xenon)
headlamps (for versions/markets, where provided)
are switched on, normally parabolas and light beam
move vertically for about 2 seconds until headlamp
alignment has stabilised.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the
MAR-ON position and the dipped beam headlights
on.
The car will tilt backwards when it is loaded, raising
the light beam. The beams must therefore be
realigned in this case.
Adjusting headlights alignment
For adjusting, press buttons
and
fig. 88 on
the dashboard.Press button
to increase the light beam of one
position.
Press buttonto decrease the light beam of one
position.
The display shows the position while adjusting.
Correct positions depending on the load
Position 0
one or two occupants in the front seats.
Position 1
five people
Position 2
five people with a load in the luggage
compartment
Position 3

in the luggage compartment.
IMPORTANT Check the headlight alignment each
time the weight of the load transported changes.

WARNING
When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not raise
your foot , but keep it pressed; in doing so you
will stop in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current road
conditions.
WARNING
If the ABS intervenes, it is a sign that the
grip between tyre and the road surface
has reached the limit : you must slow down to
adapt the speed to the road grip available.
ABS FAILURE INDICATION
This is indicated by the
warning light on the
instrument panel together with the dedicated
message on the multifunction display (for versions/
markets where available) coming on (see “Warning
lights and messages” section).
In the case, the braking system will work as normal
without the extra capacity offered by the ABS
system. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.EBD FAILURE INDICATION
This is indicated by the warning lights
and
on
the instrument panel together with the dedicated
message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where available) coming on (see
“Warning lights and messages” section).
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and
the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
WARNING
If only the warning light
on the
instrument panel switches on - together
with a message in the multifunction display (for
versions/markets, where provided) - stop the
car immediately and contact the nearest Fiat
Dealership. Fluid leaking from the hydraulic
system will compromise the operation of the
braking system, whether it is of the conventional
type or with ABS.

BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The system, which cannot be turned off, recognises
emergency braking (on the basis of the brake pedal
operating speed) and speeds up the response of
the braking system.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions equipped
with ESP, in the event of ESP system failure, indicated
by warning light
coming on together with the
message on the display.
ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability Program)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronic system that controls car stability
in the event of tyre grip loss, helping maintain
directional control.
The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when
the grip conditions of road surfaces change.
With the ESP, the car is provided with ASR (traction
control with interventions on brakes and engine),
HILL HOLDER (device for starting on gradients
without using the brakes), MSR (control of engine
braking torque when shifting gear down) and HBA
(automatic increase of braking pressure in the case of
emergency braking).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light
on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that
the car is in critical stability and grip conditions.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESP system comes on automatically when the
vehicle is started and cannot be turned off.
