ENGINE STOPPING
FAILURE CONDITIONS
With the device activated, for
reasons of comfort, limiting
emissions and safety, the engine
does not stop in certain conditions,
including:
❒engine still cold;
❒particularly cold external
temperatures, if the corresponding
indication is provided;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒particulate filter regeneration in
progress (diesel engines only);
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example,
for parking manoeuvres);❒automatic climate control, if a
suitable thermal comfort level has not
yet been reached or MAX-DEF
function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to
initialise the system.
In the above cases, the warning light
flashes fig. 103 and, where
available, there is a message in the
display.
RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting
harmful emissions and safety
purposes, the power unit can restart
automatically without any action by
the driver if certain conditions are
met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);
❒vehicle in motion (e.g. when driving
on roads with a gradient);
❒stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than
about three minutes.❒automatic climate control system for
adjusting the thermal comfort level or
to enable MAX-DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine
can be automatically restarted only
by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
The driver is asked to perform this
operation through the warning
light flashing in the instrument panel
fig. 103 and, where provided, the
message in the display.
N.B.: If you stall the engine, for
example by releasing off the clutch
pedal quickly when in gear, if the
Start&Stop system is activated, the
engine can be restarted by fully
depressing the clutch pedal or by
putting the gear lever into neutral.
N.B.: If the clutch is not depressed
when the three minutes have
elapsed since the engine was
stopped, the engine can only be
restarted using the key.

84) For vehicles with robotised
gearbox, in the event of automatic
engine stopping with the vehicle
on a slope, the engine should
be restarted by moving the gear
lever towards (+) or (–) without
releasing the brake pedal. For
vehicles with robotised gearbox
and Hill Holder function, in the
event of automatic engine
stopping with the vehicle on a
slope, the engine must be
restarted by moving the gear lever
towards (+) or (–) without
releasing the brake pedal, so that
the Hill Holder function, active
only with the engine running,
becomes available.
85) If climate comfort is to be
favoured, the Start&Stop system
can be disabled, for a continuous
operation of the climate control
system.TPMS (Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
86) 87) 88) 89) 90) 91) 92) 93) 94)
DESCRIPTION
The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) warns the driver of low tyre
pressure on the basis of the cold
inflation pressure prescribed for the
vehicle.
Changes in outside temperature
may cause tyre pressure to vary.
This means that a decrease in the
outside temperature corresponds to
a decrease in the tyre pressure.
Tyre pressure must always be
adjusted according to the cold
inflation pressure. Cold tyre inflation
pressure is the tyre pressure after
letting the vehicle stand for at least
three hours or a travel shorter than
1.6 km after an interval of three
hours.
The cold tyre inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure value printed on the side of
the tyre.The tyre pressure also increases
while driving the vehicle: this is
a normal condition and does not
require any adjustment of the
pressure.
NOTE❒The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
❒Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while
adjusting the tyre inflation pressure.
❒Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can
result in tyre failure. The low inflation
pressure reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life and may also affect
handling and braking performance
of the vehicle.
❒The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to
the driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with a
suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not
cause the tyre pressure control
warning light to switch on.

STARTING AND DRIVING

CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic driving aid
that allows you to drive at a speed
of above 30 km/h on long and
straight dry roads (e.g.
motorways) with few driving
changes at a preset speed
without having to press
the accelerator pedal. It is
therefore not recommended to
use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in
town.
Activating the device
When the device is activated,
warning light
comes on together
with the relevant message in the
instrument panel (for versions/
markets where provided).
The speed adjustment function
cannot be activated in 1st or reverse
gear; it is advisable to activate the
function in 4th or higher gears.When travelling downhill with the
device activated, the vehicle speed
may exceed the memorised one.
95) 96)
Storing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
❒turn ring nut A fig. 146 to ON and
press the accelerator pedal so that
the vehicle reaches the desired
speed;
❒move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least one second, then release it: the
vehicle speed is memorised and
you can therefore release the
accelerator pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible by
simply pressing the accelerator
pedal: releasing the accelerator
pedal, the vehicle will return to the
speed memorised previously.
Restoring the stored
speed
If the device has been deactivated,
for example by depressing the brake
or clutch pedal, the stored 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 stored;
❒press button B fig. 146.
Increasing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and
memorizing the new speed reached;
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will
correspond to a slight increase in
speed of about 1 km/h, while
keeping the stalk upwards will
increase the speed continuously.

148
STARTING AND DRIVING

Reducing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by deactivating the device and then
storing the new speed
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (-)
until the new speed, which will
automatically remain memorised, is
reached.
Each movement of the stalk will
correspond to a slight reduction in
speed of about 1 km/h, while
keeping the stalk held downwards
will decrease the speed
continuously.
Deactivating the
device
The device can be switched off by
the driver in the following ways:
❒by turning ring nut A to the
OFF position;
❒if the engine is stopped (leaving the
stalk ring nut at ON), when the
ignition key is next turned to ON,
Cruise Control will be activated
automatically.
Deactivating the
function
The device can be switched off by
the driver in the following ways:
❒by pressing the brake pedal when the
device is adjusting the speed:
❒by pressing the clutch pedal when
the device is adjusting the speed;
❒by pressing button B fig. 146 when
the device is adjusting the speed
(for versions/markets, where
provided);
❒by pressing the accelerator pedal (in
this case the system is not actually
turned off but the acceleration
request takes priority; the cruise
control remains activated, without the
need to the press button B fig. 146
to restore the previous conditions
once the acceleration is over).
The device is automatically switched
off in the following cases:
❒if the ABS or ESC systems intervene
❒with the vehicle speed below the
set limit
❒in the event of system failure.
WARNING
95) When travelling with the device
active, never move the gear lever
to neutral.
96) In the event of device faults or
failures, turn the ring nut A to
OFF and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
149

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged an
intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle
decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance
increases;
❒is constant if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is
unchanged;
❒whereas, if this situation occurs for
the side sensors, the indication will
stop after about 3 seconds to avoid,
for example, warning indications in
the event of manoeuvres alongside
walls.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by
the sensors, only the nearest one
is considered.FAULT INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor faults will be
indicated when reverse is engaged
by the warning light in the
instrument panel switching on
together with the message in the
multifunction display, for
versions/markets, where provided
(see chapter "Warning lights and
messages”).
97)
OPERATION WITH
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is
automatically deactivated when the
electric cable plug of the trailer is
inserted into the vehicle tow hook
socket. The sensors are
automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT
If you wish to leave the tow hook
fitted without towing a trailer, it
is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership for the relevant system
update operations because the tow
hook could be detected as an
obstacle by the central sensors.GENERAL WARNINGS
98)
❒When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above or
under the sensor.
❒Sometimes, objects located very
near the rear of the vehicle are not
detected and could therefore
damage the vehicle or be damaged
themselves.
The following conditions may
influence the performance of the
parking assistance system:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence on the surface of the
sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick
paint.
❒The sensor may detect a non-
existent obstacle (echo noise) due to
mechanical noises, for example
when washing the vehicle, in case of
rain, strong wind, hail.
❒The signals sent out by the sensors
can be altered by dirt, snow or ice
deposited on the sensors or by
ultrasound systems (e.g. truck
pneumatic brakes or pneumatic drills)
near the vehicle.
151

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT
The vehicle must be equipped with
a type-approved tow hook and
adequate electrical system to tow
trailers. Installation should be carried
out by specialised personnel who
will issue the required papers for
travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a
trailer, steep hills are harder to climb,
braking spaces increase and
overtaking takes longer depending
on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly
using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the
vehicle tow hook will reduce the
loading capacity of the vehicle by
the same amount.To make sure that the maximum
towable weight is not exceeded
(given in the vehicle registration
document) account should be taken
of the fully laden trailer, including
accessories and luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits
specific to each country you are
driving in, in the case of vehicles
towing trailers. In any case, the top
speed must not exceed 80 km/h.
99) 100)
WARNING
99) The ABS device with which the
vehicle is equipped will not
control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
100) Never modify the braking
system of the vehicle to control
the trailer brake. The trailer
braking system must be fully
independent from the hydraulic
system of the vehicle.
SNOW TYRES
Fiat Dealerships will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyres for the
customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used,
inflation pressures and the
specifications of snow tyres, follow
the instructions given in the
"Wheels" paragraph of the
"Technical specifications" section.
The winter features of these tyres
are reduced considerably when the
tread depth is below 4 mm. Replace
them in this case.
Due to snow tyre characteristics,
under normal conditions of use
or on long motorway journeys, the
performance of these tyres is lower
than that of standard tyres. Limit
performance according to the use
for which they were approved.
