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 four 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
top 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.
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. 150 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.

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.
TRACTION PLUS
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful
for setting off in poor grip conditions
(snow, ice, mud, etc.) which allows the
drive force to be distributed in the
best way over the front axle when one
wheel is slipping.
Traction Plus acts by braking the
wheels with poor grip (or those slipping
more than the others), thereby
transferring the drive force to those
which have greater grip on the ground.
This function can be activated manually
by pressing the A fig. 151 button on
the control panel and operates under
50 km/h. When this speed is exceeded,
it is automatically deactivated and it is
reactivated again when the speed
falls below 50 km/h.Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the Traction Plus
system press the A fig. 151 button.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system involves the following functions
being switched on:
❒inhibition of the ASR function, in
order to fully exploit the engine
torque;
❒the differential locking effect on the
front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction
on irregular grounds.
If the Traction Plus system is faulty, the
warning light on the instrument
panel switches on constantly.

PARKING SENSORS
These are located in the rear bumper
fig. 152 and their function is to inform
the driver, through an intermittent
beeping noise, about the presence of
obstacles behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse is engaged. As the
obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer
to the bumper, the frequency of the
acoustic signal increases.
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.

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.

CHANGING A WHEEL
The vehicle is originally equipped with
the Fix&Go automatic quick tyre repair
kit (see instructions in the next section).
As an alternative, the vehicle may
have a normal-sized spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and spare wheel call for some
precautions, as listed below.
108) 109) 110) 111)
Note for one-way tyres
One-way tyres have a few arrows
on the side indicating the rotation
direction. If a wheel is changed (when
punctured, for example) the direction of
the arrows on the spare wheel tyre
may not coincide with the rotation
direction of the wheel to be replaced.
In these conditions, too, the tyre still
maintains its safety features.
Anyway, it is recommended to have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible, as the best performance is
achieved when the rotation direction of
all tyres coincides with the one
indicated by the arrows.
Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 4 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;❒the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be
replaced by another original one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel, proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat
if possible, and sufficiently firm;
❒stop the engine and pull the
handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain
countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;
❒indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by
the law in the current country (e.g.
warning triangle, hazard lights, etc.);
❒for Cargo versions fig. 184: move the
left front seat forward and operate
lever A to access the tool bag; take it
to the wheel that needs replacing;❒for Doblò/Doblò Combi versions fig.
185: open the rear doors, inside the
compartment on the rear right side,
take the tool bag, unhooking the
elastic band from the buckle, and
take it next to the wheel to be
changed;
