shown on the display.
Decreasing speed
After having set the device, the stored
speed can be reduced by holding the
SET – button pressed.
Press the SET – button once: the set
speed will decrease by 1 km/h (or the
equivalent in mph). Each touch of the
button once will reduce the speed by
1 km/h (or the equivalent in mph).Hold the SET – button down: the set
speed will decrease in 5 km/h steps (or
the equivalent in mph) until the button is
released. The set speed decrease is
shown on the display.
NOTE If “Sport” mode is chosen on the
Drive Mode Selector, the ACC will be
switch to sport mode: the system will
become more reactive in case of
acceleration.
ACCELERATING WHEN
OVERTAKING
When driving with the device active and
following a vehicle, the device provides
additional acceleration to facilitate
overtaking, when travelling over a given
speed and switches on the left direction
indicator on roads with right-hand traffic
(of the right indicator for roads with
left-hand traffic).
RECALLING THE SPEED
Once the system has been cancelled
but not deactivated, if a speed was
previously set simply press the RES
button and remove your foot from the
accelerator to recall it.
The system will be set to the last stored
speed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.
SETTING THE DISTANCE
BETWEEN CARS
The distance between your vehicle and
the vehicle ahead may be set to 1 bar
(short), 2 bars (medium), 3 bars (long),
4 bars (maximum) fig. 101.
The distances from the vehicle ahead
are proportional to speed. The interval
of time with respect to the vehicle
ahead remains constant and varies
from 1 second (for the short distance
101F1B0299C
131

1-bar setting) to 2 seconds (for the
maximum distance 4-bar setting).
The setting is 4 (maximum) the first time
the device is used. After the distance
has been modified by the driver, the
new distance will be stored also after
the system is deactivated and
reactivated.
To decrease the distance
Press and release the
button to
decrease the distance setting.
The distance setting decreases by one
bar (shorter) every time the button is
pressed.
The set speed is held if there are no
cars ahead. Once the shortest distance
has been reached, a further press of
the button will set the longest distance.
The car holds the set distance until:
the vehicle ahead accelerates to a
speed higher than the set speed;
the vehicle ahead leaves the lane or
the detection field of the Adaptive
Cruise Control device sensor;
the distance setting is changed;
the Adaptive Cruise Control device is
deactivated/cancelled.
IMPORTANT The maximum breaking
applied by the device is limited. The
driver may apply the brakes in all cases
if needed.IMPORTANT If the device predicts that
the braking level is not sufficient to hold
the set distance, the driver is warned by
a message indicating that the vehicle
ahead is too close appears on the
display. An acoustic warning is also
emitted. In this case, it is advisable to
brake immediately as necessary to hold
a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
IMPORTANT The driver is responsible
for ensuring that there are no
pedestrians, other cars or objectives
along the direction of the car. Failure to
comply with these precautions may
cause serious accidents and injuries.
IMPORTANT The driver is fully
responsible for holding a safe distance
from the vehicle ahead respecting the
highway code in force in the respective
country.
DEACTIVATION
The device is deactivated and the set
speed is cancelled if:
thebutton is pressed on the
Adaptive Cruise Control;
thebutton is pressed on the
electronic Cruise Control;
the Speed Limiter button is pressed;
the ignition device is in the STOP
position.
The device is cancelled (the set speed
and distance are stored):
when the CANC button is pressed;
when the conditions shown in the
“Setting the desired speed” paragraph
occur;
when the car speed drops under the
minimum set speed (e.g. in presence of
slow cars).
If these conditions occur while the
system is decelerating with respect to a
vehicle ahead, the system could
continue the deceleration, if necessary,
also after it is cancelled or deactivated
within the minimum speed settable on
the system.
ELECTRONIC CRUISE
CONTROL MODE
Electronic Cruise Control mode is
available for travelling at constant speed
in addition to the Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) mode.
If the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
function is implemented on the vehicle,
the electronic Cruise Control works in
the same manner as the ACC (by
pressing the
button of the Cruise
Control) with the difference that:
it does not hold the distance from the
vehicle ahead;
the device keeps working if the radar
sensor is obstructed.
Before returning to the previously set
speed, bring the speed close to that
value, then press the RES button and
release it.
132
STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
123)Pay the utmost attention while driving
at all times and be always ready to press
the brakes if needed.
124)The system is an aid for the driver,
who must always pay full attention while
driving. The responsibility always rests with
the driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
125)The device is not activated in
presence of pedestrians, oncoming
vehicles in the opposite direction of travel
or moving in the crosswise direction and
stationary objects (e.g. a vehicle standing
in a queue or a broken down vehicle).
126)The device cannot take account of
road, traffic and weather conditions, and
conditions of poor visibility (e.g. fog).
127)The device does not always fully
recognise complex driving conditions that
could cause it to determine the safe
distance to be held incorrectly or not at all.
128)The device cannot apply the
maximum braking force: the car will not be
stopped completely.
IMPORTANT
47)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.48)
49)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
50)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the car (e.g. bumper, chassis) may alter
the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership for any operation of this type.
51)Do not tamper with or carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of
a sensor fault, contact a Fiat Dealership.
52)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
53)Be careful in the case of repairs and
new paintings in the area around the
sensor (panel covering the sensor on the
left side of the bumper). In the event of a
frontal impact the sensor may automatically
deactivate and display a warning to indicate
that the sensor needs to be repaired. Even
without a malfunction warning, deactivate
the system operation if you think that the
position of the radar sensor has changed
(e.g. due to low-speed frontal impact as
during parking manoeuvres). In these
cases, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
radar sensor realigned or replaced.
DRIVE MODE
SELECTOR
(where provided)
This device allows drivers to select
three different driving modes ("car
response") according to their needs and
to the road and traffic conditions, by
manually adjusting the knob ring A
fig. 102 on the central tunnel.
- "Auto" mode
- "All Weather” mode
- "Sport" mode.
Via the on board electronics, the device
acts on the car's dynamic control
system: engine, steering wheel, ESC
system, 4x4 system, transmission,
interfacing the instrument panel as well.
The rotating ring nut is monostable
type. In other words, it always returns
to the central position when released.
102F1B0721
133
The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.

The acceptance by the system of the
requested driving mode is signalled by
the LED, located besides the symbol,
coming on, and by the corresponding
symbol appearing on the instrument
panel display.
When the engine is started, the system
usually maintains the driving mode that
was active before the engine was
stopped. For versions/markets where
provided, on start-up, the system is set
to the "Auto" mode.
"Auto" MODE
Recommended mode for normal
driving, aimed at comfort and safety in
normal grip and driving conditions. This
mode also reduces fuel consumption,
since it automatically disconnects the
transmission from the rear wheels if the
road and driving conditions allow it, in
addition to changing drive torque
distribution between the front and rear
axles.
Activation
Starting with the "All Weather" mode
active, turn the ring-nut anticlockwise
and hold it in this position for at least
half a second, until the relative LED
illuminates and the selected mode
appears on the display. The LED of the
mode selected previously will go out atthe same time. Once released, the
ring-nut returns to the central position.
Starting with the "Sport" mode active,
turn the ring-nut clockwise and hold it
in this position for at least half a
second, until the relative LED
illuminates and the selected mode
appears on the display. The LED of the
mode selected previously will go out at
the same time. Once released, the
ring-nut returns to the central position.
“All Weather” MODE
This driving mode is intended for safety
in poor vehicle grip conditions
(wet/slippery road surface, rain, snow).
It is also recommended for driving on
unpaved roads or off-road.
Activation
Starting with the "Auto" mode active,
turn the ring-nut clockwise and hold it
in this position for at least half a
second, until the relative LED
illuminates and the selected mode
appears on the display. The LED of the
mode selected previously will go out at
the same time. Once released, the
ring-nut returns to the central position.
Starting from the active "Sport" mode,
turn the ring nut anticlockwise, keeping
it in this position for at least half a
second, and in any case until the
relevant LED turns on, and the selectedmode is shown on the display. The LED
of the mode selected previously will go
out at the same time. Once released,
the ring-nut returns to the central
position.
"Sport" MODE
This mode gives the most enjoyable
sporty driving experience, however, it
increases fuel consumption. Traction is
optimised to improve the car's
road-holding, also when cornering.
Activation
Starting with the "Auto" mode active,
turn the ring-nut anticlockwise and hold
it in this position for at least half a
second, until the relative LED
illuminates and the selected mode
appears on the display. The LED of the
mode selected previously will go out at
the same time. Once released, the
ring-nut returns to the central position.
Starting with the "All Weather" mode
active, turn the ring nut clockwise,
keeping it in this position for at least half
a second, and in any case until the
relevant LED turns on, and the selected
mode is shown on the display. The LED
of the mode selected previously will go
out at the same time. Once released,
the ring-nut returns to the central
position.
134
STARTING AND DRIVING

152)The space-saver wheel cannot be
fitted with snow chains. If a front (drive) tyre
is punctured and chains are needed, use a
standard wheel from the rear axle and
install the space-saver wheel on the rear
axle. In this way, with two normal drive
wheels at the front axle, it is possible to
use snow chains (this instruction is also
valid for 4x4 versions).
153)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
154)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 car raised. If the car is raised more
than necessary, everything can become
more unstable, with the risk of the car
dropping violently. Thus, lift the car only as
needed in order to access the space-saver
spare wheel.155)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.FIX&GO KIT
