Type 2
The set speed driving is deactivated
automatically in any of the following
ways.
When you depress the clutch pedal
(on vehicles with M/T).
When your speed slows to
approximately 15 km/h or more below
the set speed because of a hill, etc.
When your speed slows to
approximately 40 km/h or less.
When the Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) starts operating (if so equipped).
Refer to “Electronic Stability Control
(ESC)”.
243)
Also, the set speed driving may be
deactivated when the engine speed
rises and approaches the tachometer’s
red zone (the red-coloured part of the
tachometer dial).
152)
To resume the set speed
If the set speed driving is deactivated
by the condition described in “To
deactivate”, you can resume the
previously set speed by push up the
RES + switch (C) while driving at a
speed of approximately 40 km/h or
higher.
Type 1
Type 2Under either of the following conditions,
however, using the switch does not
allow you to resume the previously set
speed. In these situations, repeat the
speed setting procedure:
The CRUISE CONTROL ON/OFF
switch is pressed.
The ignition switch is turned OFF or
the operation mode is put in OFF.
Indicator lamp go off.
WARNING
241)If the device is faulty, turn ring nut A to
O, check the condition of the fuse and
contact a Fiat Dealership.
242)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
243)On vehicles equipped with A/T,
although the set speed driving will be
deactivated when shifting to the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position, never move the
selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position while driving. You would have no
engine braking and could cause a serious
accident.

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.

WARNING
354)Never smoke when performing operations in the engine compartment. Flammable gases and fumes may be present and risk igniting.
355)Be very careful when working in the engine compartment when the engine is hot: you may get burned. Remember that the fan may start
up if the engine is hot: this could injure you. Scarves, ties and other loose clothing might be pulled by moving parts.

Fluid type
Use brake fluid conforming to DOT3 or
DOT4. The brake fluid is hygroscopic.
Too much moisture in the brake fluid will
adversely affect the brake system,
reducing the brake performance.
In addition, the brake fluid reservoir is
equipped with a special cap to prevent
the entrance of air, and this cap should
not be removed.

WARNING
365)Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine parts:
it is flammable.
366)Some commercial windscreen washer
additives are flammable. The engine
compartment contains hot parts which
could start a fire on contact.
367)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer reservoir empty: the windscreen
washer is essential for improving visibility.
368)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: risk of burns.
369)Take care in handling brake fluid as it
is harmful to the eyes, may irritate your skin
and also damage to painted surfaces.370)Use only the specified brake fluid. Do
not mix or add different brand of brake fluid
to prevent chemical reaction. Do not let
any petroleum-based fluid touch, mix with,
or get into the brake fluid. This will damage
the seals.
371)Clean the filler cap before removing
and close the cap securely after
maintenance.
372)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
IMPORTANT
185)Keep the reservoir tank cap closed to
prevent the brake fluid from deteriorating
except maintenance.
186)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
187)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral-based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
CLUTCH FLUID
To check the fluid level
The clutch fluid in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing
other underhood service. In addition,
the system should be checked for
leakage at the same time.
Check to make certain that the clutch
fluid level is always between the “MAX”
and “MIN” level markings on the fluid
reservoir.
A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the
clutch system which should be
immediately inspected by a Fiat
Dealership.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Fluid type
Brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 or
DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir
cap must be fully tightened to avoid
contamination from foreign matter or
moisture. DO NOT ALLOW
PETROLEUM- BASED FLUID TO
CONTACT, MIX WITH, OR OTHERWISE
CONTAMINATE THE BRAKE FLUID.
SEAL DAMAGE WILL RESULT.
373)
WARNING
373)Clutch fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
POWER STEERING
FLUID
374)
3)
To check the fluid level
Check the fluid level in the reservoir
while the engine is idling. Check to
make certain that the power steering
fluid level is always between the “MAX”
and “MIN” level markings on the fluid
reservoir and top up the fluid, if
necessary.
WARNING
374)Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine parts:
it is flammable.
IMPORTANT
3)Power steering fluid consumption is
extremely low; if another top-up is required
after only a short period of time, have the
system checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.
