maintained, without having to press the

accelerator pedal. This device can be

used at a speed above 30 km/h on

long stretches of dry, straight roads

with few variations (e.g. motorways).

It is therefore not recommended to use

this device on extra-urban roads with

traffic. Do not use it in town.

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).

the electronic Cruise Control without

deleting the stored speed.

IMPORTANT Before pressing the SET +

or SET – buttons, the vehicle must be

travelling at a constant speed on a

flat surface.

The Cruise Control may be deactivated

also by applying the electric parking

brake (EPB) or when the braking

system is operated (e.g. operation of

the ESC system).

transmission operating in D mode (Drive

- automatic), press and release the

RES button to recall the previously set

speed.

118) While travelling with the device

activated, do not move the gear lever to

119) In the event of device faults or failures,

go to a Fiat Dealership.

For versions with manual gearbox or

automatic transmission in Autostick

(sequential) mode, before recalling the

previously set speed you should

accelerate until getting close to it, then

press and release the RES button.

120) 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.

If needed (e.g. when overtaking), you

can increase speed simply by pressing

the accelerator; when you release the

pedal, the vehicle goes back to the

speed stored previously.

"Auto" MODE

MOOD SELECTOR

(driving mode

selector)

This mode is aimed at comfort and

safety in normal grip and driving

conditions. On 4x4 versions, 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.

The Mood Selector is a device that

allows the driver to select three different

driving modes (vehicle response)

according to their needs and to the

road and traffic conditions, by manually

adjusting the central tunnel knob ring

nut A fig. 99.
