FLASHING
Pull the stalk towards the steering
wheel (1st unstable position) fig. 60
regardless of the position of the
ring nut. The

panel.
AUTOMATIC MAIN
BEAM HEADLIGHTS
In order not to dazzle other road
users, the lights are automatically
deactivated when approaching
vehicles travelling in the opposite
direction or when following a car
travelling in the same direction.
The system is activated with the
menu item and by rotating the light
selector to the AUTO position.When the main beam headlights
are activated for the first time,
pulling the stalk to turn them on
activates the function and the iconis displayed; if the main beam
headlights are actually on, the
relevant blue warning light
is
displayed as well.
If the driving speed is over 40 km/h
and the function is activated, pulling
the stalk again to the main beam
headlight position deactivates
the function.
If the driving speed is below 15
km/h and the function is activated,
the function switches the main
beam headlights off. Pulling the
stalk again to the main beam
headlight position is interpreted as
a request for main beam headlights
constantly on, therefore the blue
warning light
on the panel
switches on and the main beam
headlights are constantly on until
the speed exceeds 40 km/h again.
The function is activated again
automatically when 40 km/h is
exceeded
.If the stalk is pulled again in this
condition, to request main beam
headlight deactivation, the function
remains off and the main beam
headlights switch off.

The tachograph is installed and
sealed by authorised personnel: do
not try and access the device or
the supply and recording leads
in any way. It is the responsibility of
the owner of the vehicle on which
the tachograph is installed to check
the device regularly.
The check must be carried out at
least every two years and a test
must be carried out to ensure that it
is working properly. Ensure that
the data label is renewed after
every check and that the
label contains the specified data.SPEED BLOCK
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The vehicle is equipped with a
speed limitation function that can
be set at the user's request to one
of 4 predefined values: 90, 100,
110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Following the operation, a sticker
will be applied to the windscreen
showing the maximum speed
setting.
IMPORTANT The speedometer
could indicate a higher maximum
speed than the effective one, set by
the Dealership, in accordance with
the regulations in force.

GENERAL
INFORMATION
The system only acts on the rear
wheels.
The system maintains the rear ride
setting for the vehicle constant in
any loading condition, while
ensuring a greater driving comfort.
In addition, the system allows
the height of the vehicle to
be adjusted with the vehicle
stationary, by selecting from 7
different positions to facilitate
access to the rear compartment.
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
There are 7 pre-defined levels for
the free height from the ground:
from “ride -3” to “ride 0” till “ride
+3”.
The multifunction display, located in
the middle of the instrument panel,
can show the ride position.

the bonnet is perfectly closed and
that the lock is engaged. If you
notice when driving that the
bonnet has not been properly
locked, stop immediately
and close the bonnet correctly.
46) Incorrect positioning of the stay
rod may cause the bonnet to drop
suddenly.
47) Perform these operations only
when the vehicle is stationary.

ABS
This is an integral part of the
braking system, which prevents
one or more wheels from locking or
slipping regardless of the road
surface conditions and braking
intensity, ensuring control of the
vehicle even during emergency
braking.
The system intervenes when
braking and the wheels are about
to lock, typically in emergency
braking or low-grip conditions,
when locking may be more
frequent.
The ABS ensures the direction of
the vehicle while braking and
optimises the braking distances at
the same time.
The system also improves control
and stability of the car when
braking on a surface where the grip
of the left and right wheels varies,
or when braking on corners.
The system is completed by EBD
(Electronic Braking Force
Distribution), which distributes the
braking action between the front
and rear wheels.IMPORTANT To obtain the
maximum efficiency of the braking
system, a bedding-in period of
about 500 km is needed: during
this period it is better to avoid
sharp, repeated and prolonged
braking.
50)
SYSTEM
INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS
has come into action because the
brake pedal pulsates slightly and
the system gets noisier: it means
that the car speed should be
altered to suit the type of road
surface.
51) 52) 52) 53) 54) 55) 56) 57)
MSR SYSTEM
(Motor Schleppmoment
Regelung)
This system is an integral part of
the ABS and intervenes, if there is
sudden downshifting, restoring
torque to the engine, thereby
preventing excessive drive at the
drive wheels which, especially
in poor grip conditions, could lead
to a loss in stability of the vehicle.
WARNING
50) The ABS exploits the grip
available to the full, but it cannot
improve it. Therefore, you should
take great care when driving on
slippery surfaces, without taking
unnecessary risks.
51) When the ABS intervenes and
you notice the brake pedal
pulsating, keep the pedal pushed
down and don’t be alarmed. This
will help you to stop in the
shortest distance possible,
depending on the road conditions.
52) If the ABS intervenes, it means
you have almost reached the grip
limit between the tyres and the
road surface: slow down to make
sure that you drive in accordance
with the available grip
