speed will increase in 5 km/h steps (or
the equivalent in mph) until the button is
released. The set speed increase is
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

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.

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.

MULTIMEDIA DEVICES
IMPORTANT Some multimedia players
may not be compatible with the
Uconnect™.
Only use devices (e.g. USB flash drives)
from safe sources on the car. Devices
from unknown sources could contain
software infected by viruses which, if
installed on the car, could increase the
vulnerability of the car's electric/
electronic systems to hacking.
ANTITHEFT PROTECTION
The system is equipped with an
anti-theft protection system based on
the exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has
been disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the same
or if the electronic control unit (Body
Computer) is replaced, the system will
ask the user to enter the secret codeaccording to the procedure described
in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will show
"Please enter Anti-Theft Code" followed
by the screen showing a keypad to
enter the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four
digits, from 0 to 9: to insert the code,
turn the "BROWSE ENTER" right knob
and press to confirm.
After inserting the fourth digit, move the
cursor to "OK" and press the
"BROWSE ENTER" right knob: the
system will start to operate.
If an incorrect code is entered, the
system displays "Incorrect Code" to
notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays
"Incorrect Code. Radio locked. Wait for
30 minutes". After the text has
disappeared it is possible to start the
code entering procedure again.
