Modification of a
programmed
speed
In order to memorise
a speed which is supe-
rior to the previous
one, there are two possibilities:
Without using the accelerator:
❒
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.
By using the accelerator:
❒
exceeding the memorised speed until
reaching the desired speed
❒
Press the Set + o Set –key
In order to memorise a speed which is in-
ferior to the previous one:
❒
Press the Set -key
A brief pressure reduces the speed by 1
km/h.
A constant pressure reduces the speed by
steps of 5 km/h.Function Arrest
Move the knob to the 0position or take
out the starting key.
Cancellation of the programmed
speed
When the vehicle stops, after having tak-
en out the starting key, the speed is no
longer memorised by the system.
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
Take care when you modify the pro-
grammed speed with a constant pressure,
in that the speed may increase or decrease
rapidly. Do not use the speed regulator
on a slippery road or in heavy traffic.
In case of a steep downwards slope; the
speed regulator cannot prevent the vehi-
cle of exceeding the programmed speed.
The regulator cannot, under any circum-
stances, substitute the respect of the
speed limit, nor the alertness and the re-
sponsibility of the driver. In order to hin-
der the functioning of the pedals:
– Check that the car mat is in the correct
position
– Do not overlap several car mats.

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.

AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT
The controls fig.110are located in the
bottom rear of the vehicle.
If the vehicle is fitted with pneumatic sus-
pensions with automatic adjustment, the
system will adjust automatically the height
of the vehicle according to the load.
The warning light
…
on the instrument
panel will blink when the height level is not
adequate and is to be adjusted: in this case
let the engine run without accelerating un-
til the warning light turns off (optimum
suspension adjustment).
Under certain conditions it could be tem-
porarily not possible to perform the re-
quired adjustment:
❒
one or more doors open;
❒
vehicle braked (brake pedal pressed,
e.g. stop at red light).
Turning the system off
and on again
To turn the system off: keep button A-
fig. 110pressed until hearing the beep.
Double beep and button led Aturning on
will confirm deactivation.Once the system is deactivated, to reac-
tivate it (only with vehicle stationary) keep
button A-fig. 110pressed until hearing
the beep. Double beep and button led A
turning on will confirm reactivation.

LOAD
RECOMMENDATIONSThis vehicle has been designed and ap-
proved on the basis of several set maxi-
mum weights (see the tables “Weights” in
section “Technical Specifications”):❒
kerb weight;
❒
payload;
❒
total weight;
❒
max. load on front axle;
❒
max. load on rear axle;
❒
towable load.
Each of these limits must be
borne in mind and MUST
NEVER BE EXCEEDED under any cir-
cumstances. In particular, never ex-
ceed the maximum weight permitted
on the front and rear axles when ar-
ranging loads in the vehicle (espe-
cially for special version vehicles).
WARNING
Deactivate the automatic
regulation in case of:
The substitution of a wheel
The transportation of the vehicle on
a lorry, train, ferry, ship, etc.

ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)
The ASR system controls the vehicle
drive and cuts in automatically every
time one or both driving wheels slip.
In slipping conditions, two different con-
trol systems are activated:❒
if slipping involves both driving wheels,
the ASR function intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
❒
if the slipping involves only one driving
wheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-
matically braking the wheel that is slip-
ping. The action of the ASR system is particu-
larly helpful in the following circumstances:
❒
slipping of the inner wheel due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or ex-
cessive acceleration;
❒
too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the conditions
of the road surface;
❒
acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces;
❒
in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-
face (aquaplaning).
Do not take unnecessary
risks, even if your vehicle is
fitted with the ESC and ASR sys-
tems.Your driving style must always
be suited to the road conditions, vis-
ibility and traffic.The driver is always
responsible for road safety.
WARNING
Switching the system on/off
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
Switching the ESC system off will auto-
matically switch off the ASR system too.
When travelling, the ASR can be switched
off and on again by pressing switch Alo-
cated on the dashboard fig. 113.
When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led
B-fig. 113on the switch and by relevant
message on the multifunction display, for
versions/markets, where provided.
If the ASR is switched off when travelling,
it will turn on again automatically the next
time the engine is started.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the
ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slip-
ping of the driving wheels when moving off
makes it possible to obtain better drive.

MSR system
(engine braking torque control)
It is an integral part of the ASR system that
in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in pro-
viding torque to the engine thus prevent-
ing excessive driving wheel drive that, spe-
cially in poor grip conditions, can lead to
loss of stability.
GRIP CONTROLThis system increases the traction in poor
road grip conditions (e.g. snow, mud,
sand).
The accelerator pedal must be pressed
sufficiently for the engine power to man-
age the various parameters in the best
way.
The vehicle is designed mainly for as-
phalted roads but can occasionally be dri-
ven on rough roads.
If the vehicle is heavily loaded, it cannot be
used for off-road activities, such as:❒
crossing and driving grounds that
could damage the underbody or de-
tach parts such as fuel pipes, fuel cool-
er, etc., because of obstacles or
stones;
❒
travelling on steep gradients with re-
duced grip;
❒
fording a stream.
The performance of the sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks.
The style of driving must in any case
always be adapted to the conditions
of the road surface, visibility and traf-
fic. Road safety is always the driver’s
responsibility.
WARNING
For correct operation of the ASR system,
the tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in perfect
conditions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of malfunctioning, the ASR
system is automatically disconnected and
the warning light
™
will come with fixed
light on the instrument panel, (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
In this case contact Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.

Insufficient tyre pressure
The warning light
n
switches on, to-
gether with a dedicated message on the
display, to indicate that the tyre pressure
is lower than the recommended value
and/or that slow pressure loss is occur-
ring. In these circumstances, optimal tyre
duration and fuel consumption may not be
guaranteed.
Should two or more tyres be in the con-
dition mentioned above, the display will
show the indications corresponding to each
tyre in sequence.
❒
Slow down immediately, avoid sudden
braking and steering.
❒
Stop as soon as traffic conditions al-
low.
❒
In the event of a puncture, use the
quick tyre repair kit or fit the spare
wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided);
or
❒
if you have a compressor, for example
the one of the quick tyre repair kit,
check the pressure of the four tyres
when cold;or
❒
if you cannot check the pressure im-
mediately, drive very carefully and slow-
ly.
The alarm is active until the next inflation,
repair or replacement of the tyre involved.
The spare wheel (space-saver wheel or
steel rim) does not have sensors.
The detected pressure loss does not al-
ways involve visible deformation of the
tyre. Therefore, do not rely on the visual
check only.iTPMS failure
When a fault in the iT.P.M.S. is detected,
the warning light
n
switches on and flash-
es, the warning light è
switches on as
well and a dedicated message is displayed.
In this case, the monitoring of the tyre
pressure is no longer guaranteed.
This alarm is displayed also when at least
one of the wheels is not equipped with
sensor (e.g. with spare wheel, space-saver
or steel type).
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the sys-
tem checked or, after a puncture, refit a
tyre equipped with sensor on the origi-
nal rim.

PARKING SENSORS (for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 114and their function is to
inform the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the vehicle.
In order to deactivate the parking sensors,
press button A-fig. 115present between
the commands on the bridge of the cen-
tral compartment. The deactivation is sig-
nalled by the lighting of the led Bon the
button.
In order to re-activate them, press button
Aagain.
When the distance from the obstacle sit-
uated behind the vehicle diminishes, it cor-
responds with an increase in the frequen-
cy of the beeping.
WARNING The condition of the parking
sensors (activated or deactivated) is mem-
orised upon switching off the engine.BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒
becomes louder as the distance be-
tween the vehicle and the obstacle de-
creases;
❒
becomes continuous when the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is
less than 30 cm and stops immediately
if the distance raises;
❒
is constant if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation concerns the side sen-
sors, the buzzer will stop after about
3 seconds to avoid, for example, warn-
ing indications in the event of manoeu-
vres along walls.FAILURE INDICATIONS
Parking sensor failures, if any, will be in-
dicated when engaging reverse by the
buzzer and the turning on of led
B-fig. 115together with the message on
the display.

obstacles that may be set above or un-
der the sensors.
❒
Objects set close to the vehicle, under
certain circumstances are not detected
and could therefore cause damages to
the vehicle or be damaged.
❒
Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasound sys-
tems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or
pneumatic hammers) set nearby the ve-
hicle. For proper operation, the
parking sensors shall always
be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. When cleaning the sen-
sors, take the utmost care to prevent
their damaging; do not use therefore
dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be
washed with clean water and vehicle
detergent, if required.
Parking manoeuvres howev-
er are always under the dri-
ver’s responsibility that shall always
check the absence of people (spe-
cially children) or animals in the ma-
noeuvre space. This system is just a
help for the driver but she/he shall
never reduce attention during dan-
gerous manoeuvres even if performed
at low speed.
