SPEED LIMITER
(where provided)
DESCRIPTION
This device allows the speed of the
vehicle to be limited to values which
can be set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both
with vehicle stationary and in motion.
The minimum speed that can be set is
30 km/h.
When the device is active, the vehicle
speed depends on the pressure at the
accelerator pedal, until the
programmed speed limit is reached
(see "Speed limit programming"
paragraph).
120
STARTING AND DRIVING
When travelling downhill with the device
active, the vehicle speed may exceed
the set one.
CHANGING THE SPEED

WARNING
123)When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
124)In case of a malfunction or failure of
the device, contact a Fiat Dealership.
125)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.
123
51)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
52)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.
53)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (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.
54)Do not tamper nor operate on the radar
sensor. In the event of a sensor failure,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
55)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
56)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.PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
SENSORS
132)
57) 58) 59)
The parking sensors, located in the rear
bumper fig. 128, are used to detect the
presence of any obstacles near the rear
part of the car.
The sensors warn the driver about the
presence of possible obstacles with an
intermittent acoustic signal and,
depending on the version, also with
visual indications on the instrument
panel display.
Activation
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is engaged.The acoustic warning becomes more
frequent as the obstacle behind the car
gets closer.
Acoustic signal
When reverse is engaged and there is
an obstacle behind the vehicle, an
acoustic signal is activated and the
signal varies as the distance of the
obstacle from the bumper varies.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
increases as the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle decreases;
becomes continuous when the
distance separating the vehicle from the
obstacle is less than about 30 cm;
is constant if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is
unchanged. If this situation concerns
the side sensors, the signal will stop
after approximately 3 seconds to avoid,
for example, indications in the event of
manoeuvres along a wall.
stops immediately if the distance of
the obstacle increases.
When the system emits the acoustic
warning, the volume of the
Uconnect™system (where provided)
is automatically lowered.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
128P2000184
131
Warning on display
The indications regarding the Park
Assist system are shown only if the
"Acoustic signal and display" item in the
"Settings" menu of theUconnect™ 5"
or7" HDsystem (where provided) was
previously selected (for more
information, see the description in the
dedicated chapter).
The system indicates the presence of
an obstacle by displaying a single arc in
one of the possible areas, in
accordance with the distance of the
object and the position in relation to the
vehicle. A single arc which is firstly fixed
and then blinks will appear as the
distance from the obstacle reduces in
addition to an acoustic tone firstly in
rapid sequence and then continual.
FAULT INDICATION
Parking sensor faults, if any, will be
indicated when reverse is engaged by
the switching on of the
symbol on
the instrument panel together with the
message on the display (see
description in the "Warning lights and
messages" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
OPERATION WITH A
TRAILER
The operation of the sensors is
automatically deactivated when the
trailer's electrical connection is inserted
in the car's tow hook socket.
Sensors are reactivated on removing
the trailer's electrical connection.
IMPORTANT NOTES
When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above or
under the sensor. Objects close to the
car are not detected under certain
circumstances and could therefore
cause damage to the car or be
damaged.
Some conditions may influence the
performance of the parking system:
reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence of: ice, snow, mud, paint,
etc. on the surface of the sensor;
the sensor may detect a non-existent
obstacle ("echo interference") due to
mechanical interference, for example
when washing the vehicle, in rain
(strong wind), hail;
the signals sent by the sensor can
also be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems of trucks or pneumatic
drills) near the vehicle;
parking assistance system
performance can also be influenced by
the position of the sensors, for example
due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock
absorbers, suspension), or by changing
tyres, overloading the car or fitting
specific trims that require the car to be
lowered;
the correct interaction of the system
with tow hooks not made by Fiat is not
guaranteed;
the presence of adhesives on the
sensors. Therefore, take care not to
place stickers on the sensors.
the presence of a tow hook without
trailer interferes with the correct
operation of the parking sensors. If a
fixed tow hook is installed, the sensors
cannot be used. If the customer installs
a removable tow hook, it should be
disconnected from the crossmember
whenever the trailer is not attached to
prevent the activation of the sensors.
132
STARTING AND DRIVING
Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in the
case of vehicles towing trailers. In any
case, the top speed must not exceed
100 km/h.
Any electric brake must be powered
directly by the battery through a cable
with a cross-section of no less than
2.5 mm
2.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the vehicle electrical system can only be
connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light for the trailer, not
exceeding 15 W. For connections, use
the preset control unit with a battery
cable with section not less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (e.g. electric
brake) must take place with engine
running.
INSTALLING A TOW
HOOK
To install a tow hook contact a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
134)The ABS with which the car is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
135)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the car’s hydraulic system.
SUGGESTIONS FOR
DRIVING
SAVING FUEL
Below are some suggestions which
may help you save fuel and thus lower
the amount of harmful emissions
released into the atmosphere.
Vehicle maintenance
Checks and operations should be
carried out in accordance with the
"Scheduled Servicing Plan" (see the
"Maintenance and care" chapter).
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot.
The weight of the vehicle and its
arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
(where provided)
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack
from the roof when they are not used.
These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect
137
consumption levels.
TOPPING UPAdBlue®
DIESEL
EMISSIONS ADDITIVE (UREA)
(Diesel versions only)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
140)
Preliminary conditions
AdBlue®
freezes at temperatures
lower than -11°C. If the car stands for a
long time at this temperature refilling
could be difficult. For this reason, it is
advised to park the vehicle in a garage
and/or heated environment and wait for
the urea to return to liquid state before
topping up.
Proceed as follows:
park the car on flat ground and stop
the engine by setting the start device in
the OFF position;
open the fuel flap 1 fig. 132, undo
and remove the cap 2 (blue) from the
AdBlue®
filler and place it in the
specific housing 3.Refilling with nozzles
You can fill up at any
AdBlue®
distributor.
Proceed as follows:
insert theAdBlue®
nozzle in the
filler, start refilling and stop refilling at
the first shut-off (the shut-off indicates
that the
AdBlue®
tank is full). Do not
proceed with the refilling, to prevent
spillage of
AdBlue®
;
extract the nozzle.
Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into the
AdBlue®
tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed
in (e.g. tanks) are used for refilling, after
the indication appears on the
instrument panel display (see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter), fill the
AdBlue®
tank with no
more than 6 litres;
if containers which can be screwed
to the filler are used, the reservoir is full
when theAdBlue™level in the
container stops pouring out. Do not
proceed further.Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap 2 fig. 132back on the
AdBlue®
filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely;
set the ignition device to MAR (it is
not necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the car. The indication may stay
on for a few seconds to approximately
half a minute. If the engine is started
and the car is moved, the indication will
remain on for longer. This will not
compromise engine operation;
if theAdBlue®
was topped up when
the tank was empty, see the “Refuelling
” paragraph in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter and wait for
2 minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT If AdBlue is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area
and proceed to filling up again. If the
liquid crystallises, eliminate it with a
sponge and warm water.
IMPORTANTDO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to
the reservoir. UREA freezes at
under -11 °C. Although the system
is designed to operate below the
freezing point of the UREA, it is
advisable not to fill the tank beyond
