Activation
87)
Press button 1 side. Warning light 6
fig. 158 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. 159 (+) to increase the
speed;
button 3 fig. 159 (-) 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").156T36543

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

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-byThe speed limiter can be disabled using
the switch 5 (O) fig. 160. In this case,
the speed limit is stored and is viewed
on the display in a dedicated message
together with the stored speed.
Recalling the stored speed limit
If speed data is stored, you can recall it
by pressing button 4 (R) fig. 160.
When the cruise control function is in
stand-by, pressing switch 2 fig. 160 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
87)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.
Ambient
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.

ALARM WARNING LIGHT
When the starter device is brought to MAR, the warning light switches on, but it should switch off as soon as the
engine is started. If it turns on together with other warning lights/messages on the instrument panel, you need to
drive carefully to the Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

This light turns on in various circumstances: refer to the "Active safety systems” paragraph in the “Safety” chapter.
ABS FAILURE
It goes on when the starter device is inserted and goes off after a few seconds. If it goes on while driving, it means
there is a malfunction in the ABS system. In this case the braking system maintains its efficiency unaltered but
without the advantage of the ABS system. Consult a Fiat Dealership.
