speed.Exceeding the speed limit
At any time you can raise the speed by
pressing the accelerator pedal. When
the speed is higher than that set, the
speed indicator will flash on the
instrument panel.
Then release the accelerator pedal:
after a few seconds, the vehicle will
automatically return to the initial speed
set.
Impossibility to maintain speed
In the event of a steep slope, the speed
cannot be respected by the system: the
stored speed will flash on the
instrument panel to inform you of this.
Placing the function in stand-by
The function can be suspended:
by pressing button 5 (O) fig. 150;
by using the brake pedal;
by using the clutch pedal.
In the three cases, the speed stays
stored and the message to that effectappears on the display screen.
Activation is confirmed when the light
goes off
.
Recalling the stored speed limit
If you have stored a speed, you can
recall it, after making sure the driving
conditions allow it (traffic, roadbed
conditions, weather, etc.). Press button
4 fig. 150 if the vehicle speed is over
30 km/h. When recalling a stored
speed, the activation is confirmed when
the warning light goes on
.
NOTE If the preceding stored speed is
much higher than the present speed,
the vehicle will accelerate powerfully up
to this limit.
IMPORTANT When the function is in
stand-by, pressing switch 2 fig. 150 will
reactivate the regulator function without

WARNING
74)The Cruise Control does not impact the
braking system in any case.
75)It provides a supplementary driving aid.
However, it does not replace the driver. It
cannot take the place of local speed limit
observations, attentiveness (always be
ready to brake) or driver responsibility. The
Cruise Control must not be used when
traffic is heavy, on winding or slippery
roads (ice, aquaplaning, gravel) or when
weather conditions are unfavourable (fog,
rain, wind gusts, etc.). Risk of accident.76)Be careful: we advise you to keep your
feet near the pedals so they are ready to
intervene in an emergency.
77)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
78)Putting the engine in stand-by or
deactivating the Cruise Control does not
rapidly lower the speed: you need to brake
using the brake pedal.
79)In case of a malfunction or failure of the
device, contact a Fiat Dealership.
80)The electronic Cruise Control can be
dangerous if the system cannot keep a
constant speed. In specific conditions
speed may be excessive, resulting in the
risk of losing control of the vehicle and
causing accidents. Do not use the device
in heavy traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or
slippery roads.
SPEED LIMITER
The cruise control is a function that
keeps you from going over a certain
pre-set speed limit.

Activation
81)
Press button 1 side. Warning light 6
fig. 154 turns orange and the message
"LIMITER" appears on the instrument
panel along with dashes to indicate that
the cruise control is active and waiting
for the speed limit recording.
To record the current speed, press
switch 2 (+): the speed limit replaces
the dashes.
The minimum speed that can be set is
30 km/h.
Guide
When the speed has been stored, until
this speed has been reached, driving is
the same as driving a vehicle not
equipped with cruise control.Once this limit has been reached, when
you press the accelerator, you cannot
exceed the programmed speed except
in the event of an emergency (refer to
the "Exceeding the set speed limit”
paragraph).
Variation in the speed limit
You can vary the speed limit by
pressing in succession:
button 2 fig. 155 (+) to increase the
speed;
button 3 fig. 155 (-) to decrease the
speed.
Exceeding the set speed limit
You can exceed the set speed limit at
any time by pressing hard on the
accelerator (beyond the "point of
resistance").
While exceeding the set speed, the set
speed flashes on the instrument panel,
along with an acoustic signal.Afterwards, release the accelerator: the
cruise control function will reactivate
when you reduce the speed to lower
than the stored one.
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot maintain the set speed:
the stored speed will flash on the
instrument panel along with an
intermittent acoustic warning.
Impossible to maintain the set
speed limit
In the event of a steep slope, the cruise
control cannot maintain the speed: the
stored speed will flash on the
instrument panel along with an
intermittent acoustic warning.
Placing the function in stand-by
The speed limiter can be disabled using
the switch 5 (O) fig. 156. In this case,
the speed limit is stored and is viewed
on the display in a dedicated message
together with the stored speed.

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Recalling the stored speed limit
If speed data is stored, you can recall it
by pressing button 4 (R) fig. 156.
When the cruise control function is in
stand-by, pressing switch 2 fig. 156 will
reactivate the regulator function without
taking into account the stored speed:
the speed the vehicle is travelling will be
used.
Interrupting the function
The cruise control function can be
deactivated; in this case, the speed is
no longer stored. The orange warning
light
on the instrument panel turns
off to confirm that the speed limiter has
been turned off.
WARNING
81)The Speed Limiter does not impact the
braking system in any case.
PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
Temperature of the exhaust gases
The system controlling the exhaust lets
you identify the malfunctions of the
vehicle's anti-pollution device. These
faults can cause an excess in polluting
emissions and cause mechanical
damage.
This warning light on the instrument
panel indicates any system function
failure:
If it stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible;
If it flashes, you need to reduce the
engine running until the flashing stops.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Refer to the information in the "AdBblue
(Urea) additive tank" paragraph in the
"Knowing your vehicle" chapter.
The vehicle was designed with
environmental friendliness in mind for its
entire life cycle: from manufacture to
use up to the end of its life cycle.
Manufacture
The vehicle's manufacture has been
carried out at an industrial factory that
applies advanced procedures aimed at
environmental impact reduction with
respect to the inhabitants and nature in
the surrounding areas (reduction ofwater and power consumption,
atmospheric and water emissions,
disposal and evaluation of waste).
Emissions
While it is being used, the vehicle was
designed to emit a lower quantity of
greenhouse gasses (CO
2) and
therefore lower consumption (ex.:
170 g/km amounts to 6.4 l/100 km for
a Diesel vehicle).
Moreover, the cars are equipped with
anti-pollution systems such as the
catalytic exhaust, oxygen sensor, etc.
For some vehicles, this system is
rounded out with an anti-particulate
filter that allows a reduction in particle
emissions.
Used and replaced parts on sale during
regular servicing (battery, oil filter, air
filter, batteries, etc.) and oil tanks (both
empty and full of used oil) must be
delivered to specialised waste disposal
consortiums.
To hand the vehicle over at the end of
its life without extra cost, contact one of
our dealerships if you are purchasing
another vehicle or an FCA-authorised
collection and scrapping centre. These
centres have been carefully chosen to
offer high quality service for the
collection, treatment and recycling of
vehicles at their end of life, respecting
the surrounding environment.
71

Recyclability
The vehicle is 85% recyclable and 95%
recoverable.
To achieve these aims, several of the
vehicle's parts have been designed so
they can be recycled. The structure and
materials have been especially studied
to facilitate dismantling of these
components and their re-treatment in
specific chains.
In order to preserve raw material
resources, the vehicle incorporates
several parts in recycled plastic or
renewable materials (plant or animal like
cotton or wool).DIESEL VERSION
PARTICULARITIES
17)
Engine speed
Diesel engines are equipped with an
injection system that does not let the
engine exceed a certain number of
revs, no matter what gear is engaged.
If you see the message "Anti-pollution
control" with the warning light
and
the alarm light, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately.
While driving, depending on the fuel
type used, in exceptional cases the
vehicle might emit white smoke.
This is due to the automatic
regeneration of the anti-particulate filter
and has no consequences on the
vehicle's performance.
Complete lack of fuel
When refuelling after completely using
up all fuel, you need to restore the fuel
circuit: refer to the "Refuelling the
vehicle" paragraph before restarting the
engine.Winter precautions
To prevent any ice-related
inconvenience:
make sure that the battery is always
charged,
make sure not to leave too little
diesel in the tank, so it doesn't form
water vapour condensation that
accumulates on the bottom of the tank.
IMPORTANT
17)Modifications or repairs to the supply
system that are not carried out correctly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
