CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
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 with few driving changes (e.g.
motorways) at a preset speed without having to
press the accelerator pedal. Therefore it is not
recommended to use this device on extra-urban
roads with traffic. Do not use it in town.
Switching the device on
When the device is activated, light
comes on
together with the relevant message on the
instrument panel (for versions/markets, where
provided).
The function cannot be turned on in first gear or
reverse. It is advisable to use the function in fourth
gear or higher.
When travelling downhill with the device engaged,
the vehicle speed may exceed the stored setting.
Memorizing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
turn ring nut A fig. 40 to the ON position 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 now
stored 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
car will return to the speed memorised previously.
Restoring the stored speed
If the device has been switched off, for example by
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised
speed can be restored as follows:
accelerate gently until a speed close to that stored
one is reached;
engage the gear selected when storing the speed;
press button B fig. 40.
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 lever upwards (+).
Each operation of the lever will correspond to a
slight increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while
keeping the lever upwards will correspond to a
continuous speed increase.
Reducing the memorised speed
This can be done in two ways:
by switching off the device and then storing the
new speed;
or
by moving the lever downwards (-) until the new
speed, which will be automatically stored, is
reached.
Each movement of the stalk will correspond to a
reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will continuously reduce
the speed.
Switching the device off
The device can be switched off by the driver in the
following ways:
by turning the ring A to the OFF position;
by stopping the engine.
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. 40 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. 40 to restore the previous
conditions once the acceleration is over).
The device is automatically switched off in the
following cases:
if the ABS or VDC systems intervene;
with the vehicle speed below the set limit;
in the case of system failure.
WARNING
When travelling with the device on,
never set the gearshift lever to neutral.
WARNING
In the event of device faults or failures,
turn knob A to OFF and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
