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. 150.
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.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. 150 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. 150
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.

STARTING AND DRIVING
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than
95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic
converter leads to harmful exhaust
emissions, thus contributing to air
pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amounts or in an
emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel thickens due to the formation
of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold/
mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
fuel whose specifications are not
suitable for the current temperature, it is
advisable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART
additive in the proportions shown on
the container. Pour the additive into the
tank before the diesel fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
22)
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top up twice
after the first click of the fuel supply
gun. Further top ups could cause faults
in the fuel supply system.
FUEL TANK PLUG
Opening
1) Open flap A fig. 153, pulling it
outwards, hold cap B still, insert the
ignition key in the lock and turn it
anticlockwise.2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and
remove it. The cap has a device C that
attaches it to the flap so it cannot be
lost. When refilling, attach the plug
to the flap, as shown.
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and
turn it clockwise until it clicks once
or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,
then close the flap.
The sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the plug is
absolutely normal.

location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph “If a fuse blows” in this
section.
103) 104)
24) 25)
IMPORTANT The headlight inner
surface might be slightly misted: this
does not indicate a fault, it is a natural
phenomenon due to low temperature
and the air humidity level. Misting
will disappear rapidly when the
headlights are turned on. The presence
of drops inside the headlights indicates
infiltration of water. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.

general protection fuse blows.
165
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the electric power steering
system are not active until the engine
is started, so you will need to apply
much more force to the brake pedal or
steering wheel.
IMPORTANT
29) Never use a fast battery-charger
for emergency starting of the
engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and fuel
supply control units.
WARNING
121) This procedure must be
performed by qualified personnel
as incorrect actions may cause
high-intensity electrical discharge.
Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the
battery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.
FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
❒the fuel supply cut-off with the engine
consequently switching off;
❒the automatic unlocking of the doors;
❒the switching on of the interior lights;
❒switching on of the hazard warning
lights (to deactivate the lights press
the dedicated button on the
dashboard).
122)

IN AN EMERGENCY
WARNING
123) Before starting towing
operations, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is
extracted, the steering lock
engages automatically and it is
consequently impossible to steer
the wheels.
124) Clean the threaded seat
carefully before fastening the ring.
Before towing the vehicle, make
sure that the tow ring is fully
tightened in its appropriate
housing. Do not start the engine
whilst the vehicle is being towed.125) When towing, remember that
greater effort is required on the
brake pedal in order to brake,
since the brake servo is not
providing assistance. Do not use
flexible cables when towing and
avoid jerky movements. During
towing operations, make sure that
the fastened joint does not
damage adjoining components.
When towing the vehicle, comply
with the specific rules of the
highway code regarding the
towing device and road conduct.
Do not start the engine whilst
the vehicle is being towed.
IMPORTANT
30) The front and rear tow hooks
should be used only for
emergencies on the road. You are
allowed to tow the vehicle for
short distances using an
appropriate device in accordance
with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the
road in readiness for towing or
transport via a breakdown vehicle.
Tow hooks MUST NOT be used
to tow vehicles off the road or
where there are obstacles and/or
for towing operations using ropes
or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions,
towing must take place with two
vehicles (one towing, the other
towed) aligned as much as
possible along the same centre
line.

IMPORTANT Wipe the inside surface of
the rear window gently with a cloth in
the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heater coils.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly
wash the engine compartment, taking
care to avoid spraying the water jet
directly onto the electronic control units
and the relay/fuse box on the left side
of the engine compartment (driving
direction). Have this operation
performed at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should
take place with the engine cold and the
ignition key in the STOP position. After
the washing operation, make sure
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
Headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic
substances (e.g. petrol) or ketones (e.g.
acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses
of the front headlights.
IMPORTANT
39) Some car washes with old-style
blades and/or in a poor state of
repair can damage the paintwork,
facilitating the formation of lines
that give the paint a dull/misty
appearance, especially on dark
colours. If this happens, lightly
polish the paintwork with
appropriate products.
IMPORTANT
6) Detergents cause water pollution.
The vehicle should be washed in
areas equipped for collecting
and purifying the liquid used in
the washing process.
INTERIORS
Regularly check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to water
dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.),
as this could cause oxidation of the
sheet metal.
