NOTE The accelerator pedal does not
have to be released whilst changing
gear. If the gear change request may
adversely affect the correct operation of
the engine and the transmission, the
system will not allow it.
WARNING
30)Avoid keeping your hand placed on this
lever in between gear changes or
Auto/Manual mode.
CRUISE CONTROL
(constant speed
regulator)
(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. It
is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use the device in town.
Turning 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 speed adjustment function cannot
be activated in 1
stor reverse gear; it
is advisable to activate the function in
4
thor higher gears.
When travelling downhill with the device
activated, the vehicle speed may
exceed the memorised one.
Storing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
turn ring nut A fig. 109 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 (e.g. when overtaking)
acceleration is possible by simply
pressing the accelerator pedal:
releasing the accelerator pedal the car
will return to the speed stored
previously.
Restoring the stored speed
If the device has been deactivated, for
example by depressing the brake or
clutch pedal, the stored speed can be
restored as follows:
accelerate progressively until a
speed close to that stored is reached;
engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
press button B fig. 109.

check that the position of the
replaced wheel under the platform is
correct (the lifting system is equipped
with a clutch to limit the end of the
stroke, incorrect positioning may
jeopardise safety;)
lift the wheel by fastening the bolt A
fig. 121;
put jack and tools back in the
specific tool bag;
reposition the tool bag behind the
left seat (Cargo versions) or in the boot
(Combi versions);
secure the tool box to the hooks.
WARNING
108)If left in the passenger compartment,
the punctured wheel and jack constitute
a serious risk to the safety of occupants in
the event of accidents or sharp braking.
Therefore, always place both the jack and
punctured wheel in the dedicated housing.109)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
110)The spare wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided) is specifically for
your vehicle. Therefore, it must not be
used on other models. Do not use spare
wheels of other models on your vehicle.
The spare wheel must be used only in an
emergency. Use of the spare wheel must
be strictly reduced to the necessary
minimum.
111)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is
stationary. Passengers should get out
of the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic. If you are on
a slope or uneven surface, place wedges
or other suitable objects under the wheels
to secure the vehicle. Have the wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads
before fitting: they could come unscrewed.
112)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other
use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change summer/
winter wheels and vice versa: we advise
you to contact a Fiat Dealership. Never go
under the raised vehicle: use it only in
the positions indicated.Do not use the jack for loads higher than
the one shown on its label. Never start the
engine with vehicle raised. If the vehicle
is raised more than necessary, everything
can become more unstable, with the risk of
the vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access
the spare wheel.
113)Incorrect hub cap assembly may
cause it to come off when the vehicle is
moving. Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
referring to the values shown in the
"Technical data" chapter.
114)Never use the space-saver spare
wheel for more than strictly necessary and
never exceed 80 km/h. On the space-saver
wheel there is an orange label,
summarising the main warnings regarding
usage restrictions. Never remove or cover
the label. Warning! For temporary use only!
80 km/h max.! Replace by standard wheel
as soon as possible.
WARNING
35)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw"
and joints) can also cause injuries: do not
touch them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
36)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the fixing bolts checked.

IN AN EMERGENCY
RADIO
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The radio has been designed according
to the specifications of the passenger
compartment, with a personalised
design matching the style of the
dashboard perfectly.
TIPS
Road safety
Please, learn how to use all different
radio functions (e.g. save stations)
before beginning to drive.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change
constantly while driving. Reception may
be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges,
especially when you are far away from
the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be
increased when receiving traffic
information and news.
153)
Care and maintenance
Clean the cover with a soft anti-static
cloth only. Cleaning and polishing
products may damage the surface.ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The radio is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the
exchange of information between the
radio and the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) present on the
vehicle.
This system guarantees maximum
safety and prevents the secret code
from being entered each time the radio
power supply is disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
radio will start to function, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the
same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the
device will ask the user to enter the
secret code according to the procedure
described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the radio is switched on, if the
secret code is requested, the display
will show the word "Code" for about 2
seconds followed by four dashes "- -
- -".
The code is made up of four digits from
1 to 6, each corresponding to one of
the dashes.
To enter the first digit, press the
corresponding button of the preset
stations (from 1 to 6). Enter the other
code digits in the same way.If the four digits are not entered within
20 seconds, the display will show
"Enter code----".Ifthis occurs, it is
not considered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within
20 seconds), the radio will work.
If an incorrect code is entered, the radio
will emit a sound and the display
shows the text "Radio blocked/wait" to
notify the user of the need to enter
the correct code.
Each time the user enters an incorrect
code, the waiting time will gradually
increase (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16
min, 30 min,1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, 16h, 24h)
up to a maximum of 24 hours. The
waiting time will be shown on the
display with the text "Radio blocked/
wait". After the text has disappeared it
is possible to start the code entering
procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of
the car radio. The car radio passport
shows the radio model, serial number
and secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the radio passport in
a safe place so that you can give the
information to the relevant authorities if
the radio is stolen.
171
EMERGENCY ALARM RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency
alerts in RDS mode in exceptional
circumstances or when there are
dangerous situations (earthquakes,
floods, etc.), if these are being
transmitted by the broadcaster tuned
into.
This function is activated automatically
and cannot be turned off.
The word ALARM will be shown in the
display during the transmission of an
emergency announcement. The volume
of the radio changes during this
announcement in the same way as
during traffic news.
