2017 FIAT FULLBACK switch

The ESC and ABS functions are
suspended while the rear differential
lock is activated. ESC indicator lamp,
ESC OFF indicator lamp and ABS
warning lamp are illuminated while
these functions are suspended. It does
not indicate a problem. When the rear
differential lock is disengaged, these
lamps go out and function again. Refer
to “ABS warning lamp”, “ESC indicator
lamp, ESC OFF indicator lamp”.
If the indicator lamp continues blinking
after the switch has been pressed to
deactivate the rear differential lock, hold
the steering wheel in the straight ahead
position then slowly depress and
release the accelerator pedal several
times.
If the indicator lamp continues blinking
after the switch has been pressed to
activate the rear differential lock, bear in
mind the following instructions:
If the vehicle speed is 12 km/h or
higher, decelerate to a speed of
2.5 km/h or lower. The indicator lamp
will illuminate steadily and the rear
differential lock will be activated.
If the vehicle speed is 12 km/h or lower,
turn the steering wheel from side to
side until the indicator lamp illuminates
steadily. If the vehicle is stuck in soft
ground, make sure the area around the
vehicle is clear then repeatedly attempt
to drive forward and backward. The
indicator lamp will illuminate steadily
and the rear differential lock will be
activated.

Examples of effective use of the
rear differential lock
139)
When one of the wheels has fallen
in a ditchWhen driving on rocky roads
When the vehicle is unable to move
because one of the wheels is
suspended in the air.
When getting out of snow
When the vehicle is unable to get going
because one of the wheels is on the
snow and the other on a paved road.

WARNING
228)If the “4L” or “4H” position (Easy
select 4WD), “4LLc” or “4HLc” position
(Super select 4WD II) is selected along with
the rear differential lock, the following
phenomena appear and it is very
dangerous. Please be sure to release the
rear differential lock on normal roads. If the
rear differential lock is used by mistake
when driving on a paved road: With the
rear differential lock on, the power to drive
the vehicle straight ahead becomes very
strong, which may make it difficult to turn
the steering wheel.
229)If the rear differential lock is used by
mistake when turning a curve or making a
right or left turn at a crossing or the like:
The vehicle is unable to make a turn and
may go straight ahead.230)If the rear differential lock is used by
mistake except when making an
emergency escape on snow or frozen
road: It becomes difficult to make a steady
turn.
231)In the case where the condition of the
road is different for the right tyre to drive
from the left tyre (such as one tyre on a
paved road and the other on ice), direction
of the vehicle may change abruptly when
engine braking or accelerating. Do not use
the rear differential lock except when
making an emergency escape on a snow
or frozen road, but drive with 4WD.
IMPORTANT
137)Operate the rear differential switch
after the wheels are stopped. Operating the
switch with the wheels turning may cause
the vehicle to dart in unexpected directions.
138)If a problem is detected in the rear
differential lock system, a safety device will
activate. The rear differential lock indicator
lamp will blink rapidly (twice per second),
and the rear differential lock will deactivate.
Park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off
the engine for a few moments. Restart the
engine. It is safe to continue driving if the
lamps resume normal operation. If the rear
differential lock indicator lamp blinks when
the rear differential lock is reactivated, have
the vehicle checked by a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.

STARTING AND DRIVING

IMPORTANT
149)When you do not wish to drive at a
set speed, turn off the cruise control for
safety.
150)On vehicles with M/T, do not move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) position
while driving at a set speed without
depressing the clutch pedal. The engine will
run too fast and might be damaged.
151)Do not use cruise control when driving
conditions will not allow you to stay at the
same speed, such as in heavy traffic or on
roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered,
wet, slippery, on a steep downhill slope.
152)When the set speed driving is
deactivated automatically in any situation
other than those listed above, there may be
a system malfunction. Press the CRUISE
CONTROL ON/OFF switch to turn off the
cruise control and have your vehicle
inspected by a Fiat Dealership.
SPEED LIMITER
The Speed Limiter is a driver assist
function to prevent from exceeding the
speed set by driver while engine power
control.
153)
NOTE If depressing the clutch pedal
(M/T), the Speed Limiter does not
activate.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set
speed, control state “LIMIT” and the
Speed Limiter’s symbol will blink in the
combination meter.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set
speed after indicated, control state
“LIMIT” and the beep alert will sound a
certain period of time.
While running without blinked control
state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limiter’s
symbol, if you decrease the set speed
and vehicle speed is more than set
speed, control state “LIMIT” and the
Speed Limiter’s symbol blinking starts
but beep alert is delayed.
In this case, when vehicle speed keeps
exceeding set speed for about
30 seconds after control state “LIMIT”
and the Speed Limiter’s symbol are
blinked, beep alert will sound a certain
period of time.
If the vehicle speeds decreases less
than set speeds, control state “LIMIT”
and the Speed Limiter’s symbol stop
blinking. When beep alert is sounding,
the beep alert also goes off.NOTE However, this gives priority to
audio and visual signal of safety
reasons or driver’s demand. If the set
speed is too lower based on current
shift position, the Speed Limiter may
not limit the vehicle speed to prevent
engine stall.
Speed Limiter control switches
There are 4 switches which relate to the
Speed Limiter on the steering wheel.
