, with the vehicle stationary.

Time counter

A time counter adds up the time spent in standby
during the journey. It is reset to zero every time
the ignition is switched on.

Special cases:

The engine will not go into standby if the
conditions for operation are not met and in the
following cases:
– Steep slope (ascending or descending).
– Vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph (10 km/h)
since the last engine start (with the key or the

START/STOP

button).

– Needed to maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment.
– Demisting active.

In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes

for a few seconds, then goes off.

After the engine has restarted, STOP

mode is not available until the vehicle

has reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).

During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after

coming out of reverse gear or turning the
steering wheel.

Restarting the engine (START mode)

The engine automatically restarts as soon as the

driver indicates the intention of moving off again:

With a manual gearbox

: with the clutch pedal

fully depressed.

With an automatic gearbox

:

– With the selector in position

D

or

M

: with the

brake pedal released.
– With the selector in position

or

M

.

– With the selector in position

P

and the brake

pedal depressed: with the selector at

R

,

N

,

D

or

M

.

– Reverse gear engaged.

Special cases

The engine will restart automatically if the
conditions for operation are met again and in the
following cases:
– With a

manual gearbox

: vehicle speed

exceeds 16 mph (25 km/h) or 2 mph (3 km/h)
(depending on engine).
– With an

automatic gearbox

, vehicle speed

exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h).

In these cases, this indicator lamp flashes

for a few seconds, then goes off.

Malfunctions

Depending on the vehicle’s equipment:

In the event of a system malfunction, this

warning lamp flashes on the instrument

panel.

The warning lamp in this button flashes

and a message appears, accompanied by

an audible signal.
Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualified workshop.

The vehicle stalls in STOP mode

All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if there is a fault.
Depending on version, a warning message
may also be displayed, prompting you to place
the gear selector in position

N

and depress the

brake pedal.

► Switch off the ignition then start the engine

again with the key or the "

START/STOP

" button.

12 V battery

The Stop & Start system requires a

12 V battery of specific technology and

specification.

All work must be carried out only by a Fiat

Dealership or a qualified workshop

Tyre

under-inflation

detection

This system automatically checks the pressures
of the tyres while driving.
It compares the information given by the wheel
speed sensors with

reference values, which

must be reinitialised every time the tyre

pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed

.

14/02/2022 15:33:36

149

Driving

6

The system triggers an alert as soon as it

detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one or

more tyres.

Under-inflation detection does not

replace the need for vigilance on the part

of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
regularly check the tyre pressures (including
the spare wheel) as well as before a long
journey.

Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly

in adverse conditions (heavy load, high
speed, long journey):
– worsens road-holding,
– lengthens braking distances,
– causes premature wear of the tyres,
– increases fuel consumption.

The inflation pressures specified for the

vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure

label.
For more information on the

Identification

markings

, refer to the corresponding section.

Checking tyre pressures

This check should be done when the

tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour or
after a journey of less than 6 miles (10 km) at
moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures
shown on the label.

Snow

chains

The system does not have to be

reinitialised after fitting or removing snow

chains.

Spare wheel

The steel spare wheel does not have an

under-inflation detection sensor.

Under-inflation alert

This is signalled by the fixed illumination

of this warning lamp, accompanied by an

audible signal and, depending on equipment, the
display of a message.

► Reduce speed immediately, avoid excessive

steering movements and avoid sudden braking.

► Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do

so.

The loss of pressure detected may not
always cause visible deformation of the

tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.

► Using a compressor, such as the one in

the temporary puncture repair kit, check the
pressures of all four tyres when cold.

► If it is not possible to carry out this check

immediately, drive carefully at reduced speed.

► In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the spare wheel
(depending on equipment).

Driving too slowly may not ensure
optimum monitoring.

The alert is not immediately triggered in the
event of a sudden loss of pressure or tyre
blow-out. This is because analysis of the
values read by the wheel's speed sensors
can take several minutes.
The alert may be delayed at speeds below
25 mph (40 km/h), or when adopting a sporty
driving mode.

The alert is kept active until the system is
reinitialised.

Reinitialisation

► The system must be reinitialised after any

adjustment to the pressure of one or more tyres,
and after changing one or more wheels.

Before reinitialising the system, make
sure that the pressures of the four tyres

are correct for the conditions of use of the
vehicle and conform to the values written on
the tyre pressure label.
Check the pressures of the four tyres before
performing the reinitialisation.
The system does not advise if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

14/02/2022 15:33:36

Driving

With dashboard button

► With the vehicle stationary, press this

button for about 3 seconds then release it.

Reinitialisation is confirmed by an audible signal.

Without dashboard button

With the vehicle stationary, the
system is reinitialised via the

vehicle configuration menu.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction,
these warning lamps light up on

the instrument panel.

In this case, the tyre under-inflation monitoring

function is no longer performed.
Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualified workshop.

Driving and manoeuvring
aids - General
recommendations

Driving and manoeuvring aids cannot, in
any circumstances, replace the need for

vigilance on the part of the driver.
The driver must comply with the Highway
Code, must remain in control of the vehicle in
all circumstances and must be able to retake
control of it at all times. The driver must adapt

the speed to climatic conditions, traffic and

the state of the road.
It is the driver's responsibility to constantly

monitor traffic conditions, assess the distance

and relative speed of other vehicles, and
anticipate their manoeuvres before using the
direction indicator and changing lanes.
These systems do not make it possible to
exceed the laws of physics.

Driving aids

You should hold the steering wheel with

both hands, always use the door and interior
mirrors, always leave your feet close to the
pedals and take a break every 2 hours.

Manoeuvring aids

The driver must always check the

surroundings of the vehicle before and during

the whole manoeuvre, in particular using the
mirrors.

Radar(s)

The operation of the radar(s), along with

any associated functions, may be affected

by the accumulation of dirt (e.g. mud, ice),
in poor weather conditions (e.g. heavy rain,
snow), or if the bumpers are damaged.
If the front bumper is to be repainted, contact

a Fiat Dealership or a qualified workshop;

certain types of paint could interfere with the
operation of the radar(s).

Driving aids camera

This camera and its associated functions

may be impaired or not work if the windscreen
area in front of the camera is dirty, misty,
frosty, covered with snow, damaged or
masked by a sticker.
In humid and cold weather, demist the
windscreen regularly.
Poor visibility (inadequate street lighting,
heavy rain, thick fog, snowfall), dazzle
(headlamps of an oncoming vehicle, low sun,

reflections on a damp road, leaving a tunnel,

alternating shade and light) can also impair
detection performance.

14/02/2022 15:33:37

151

Driving

6

In the event of a windscreen replacement,

contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualified

workshop to recalibrate the camera;
otherwise, the operation of the associated
driving aids may be disrupted.

Other

cameras

The images from the camera(s)

displayed on the touch screen or on the
instrument panel may be distorted by the
terrain.
In the presence of areas in shade, or in
conditions of bright sunlight or inadequate
lighting, the image may be darkened and with
lower contrast.
Obstacles may appear further away than they
actually are.

Sensors

The operation of the sensors, as well as

any associated functions, may be disrupted
by noise pollution such as that emitted by
noisy vehicles and machinery (e.g. lorries,
pneumatic drills), by the accumulation of
snow or dead leaves on the road or in the
event of damaged bumpers and mirrors.
When reverse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors
may be dirty.
A front or rear impact to the vehicle can
upset the sensors’ settings, which is not

always detected by the system: distance
measurements may be distorted.
The sensors do not systematically detect
obstacles that are too low (pavements, studs)
or too thin (trees, posts, wire fences).
Certain obstacles located in the sensors’ blind
spots may not be detected or may no longer
be detected during the manoeuvre.
Certain materials (fabrics) absorb sound
waves: pedestrians may not be detected.

Maintenance

Clean the bumpers and door mirrors and

the field of vision of the cameras regularly.

When washing your vehicle at high pressure,
direct the spray from at least 30 cm away
from the radar, sensors and cameras.

Mats/Pedal trims

The use of mats or pedal trims not

approved by Fiat may interfere with the
operation of the speed limiter or cruise
control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
– Ensure that the mat is secured correctly.

– Never fit one mat on top of another.

Units of speed

Ensure that the units of speed displayed

on the instrument panel (mph or km/h) are
those for the country you are driving in.

If this is not the case, when the vehicle is
stationary, set the display to the required
units of speed so that it complies with what is
authorised locally.
In case of doubt, contact a Fiat Dealership or

a qualified workshop.

Head-up display

System which projects various information onto a

smoked blade placed in the driver's field of vision

to avoid the driver having to take their eyes off

the road.

Display in operation

Once the system has been activated, the
following information is grouped together in the
head-up display:

A.

The speed of the vehicle.

B.

Cruise control/speed limiter information.

cloth, or detergent or solvent products, due to
the risk of scratching the projection blade or

damaging the non-reflective coating.

This system operates when the engine is
running, and the settings are saved when

the ignition is switched off.

Memorising speeds

This function allows you to save speed

settings which are then used to set the two

systems: the speed limiter (limits the speed

of the vehicle) or cruise control (vehicle

cruising speed).

You can save 6 speed settings for each of the
two systems.

Road signs recognition

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

This system displays the maximum speed
authorised locally on the instrument panel, using:
– Speed limit signs detected by the camera.
– Speed limit information from the navigation
system’s mapping.

Navigation mapping should be regularly
updated in order to receive accurate

speed limit information from the system.

The units for the speed limit (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are

driving in.
This should be taken into account to ensure
you observe the speed limit.
For the system to work properly when
changing countries, the speed unit of the

instrument panel must match that of the
country you are driving in.

Automatic sign reading is a driving aid

system and does not always display the

correct speed limits.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over those displayed by
the system.
The system is designed to detect signs that
conform to the Vienna Convention on road
signs.

Activation/Deactivation

The settings are changed via the

vehicle configuration menu.

Cruise control - Specific

recommendations

The cruise control function does not
guarantee compliance with the maximum

authorised speed and the safety distance
between vehicles, the driver remains
responsible for their driving.
In the interest of public safety, only use cruise

control if the traffic conditions enable vehicles

to drive at a steady speed and maintain an
adequate safety distance.

Remain vigilant while cruise control is

activated.

If you press and hold one of the

speed setting modification buttons, your

vehicle may change speed very abruptly.
When

descending a steep hill

, the cruise

control system cannot prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the set speed. Brake if
necessary to control the vehicle speed.
On

steep climbs

or when towing, the set

speed may not be reached or maintained.

Exceeding the programmed speed

setting

You can

temporarily

exceed the speed

setting by pressing the accelerator pedal (the

programmed speed flashes).

To return to the speed setting, release the
accelerator pedal (when the set speed is
reached again, the displayed speed stops

flashing).

Operating limits

Never use the system in the following

situations:
– In an urban area with the risk of
pedestrians crossing the road.

– In heavy traffic.

– On winding or steep roads.

– On slippery or flooded roads.

– In poor weather conditions.
– In the event of restricted visibility for the

Adaptive cruise control

Refer to the

General recommendations

on the use of driving and

manoeuvring aids

and to

Cruise control

- particular recommendations

.

This system

automatically

maintains the

speed of your vehicle at a value which

you set (speed setting), while keeping a safe
distance from the vehicle in front (target vehicle),
and which has been set beforehand by the
driver. The system controls the vehicle's
acceleration and deceleration automatically
using only engine braking (as if the driver had
pressed the "-" minus button).

To do this, it uses a radar located in the front
bumper.

Primarily designed for driving on main
roads and motorways, this system only

works with moving vehicles driving in the
same direction as your vehicle.

If the driver operates a direction indicator
to overtake a slower vehicle, the cruise

control allows the vehicle to temporarily
approach the vehicle in front to assist the

overtaking manoeuvre, without ever
exceeding the speed setting.

Some vehicles present on the road may
not be properly seen or may be

misinterpreted by the radar (e.g. a lorry),
which may lead to a poor assessment of
distance and lead to the vehicle accelerating
or braking inappropriately.

to restart cruise control. Cruise

control may have been paused automatically:

• When the inter-vehicle distance threshold is

reached.

• When the distance between your vehicle and

the one in front becomes too short.

• When the vehicle starts moving too slowly or

the vehicle in front starts moving too slowly.

• When the ESC system is triggered.

When the driver attempts to reactivate
cruise control, after the function has been

paused, the message "Activation not possible,

unsuitable conditions" is briefly displayed if

reactivation is not possible (safety conditions
not met).

Using the Road signs recognition function

or speed limit sign memorisation to

modify the speed setting.

► Press

Messages and alerts

The display of these messages or alerts
is not sequential.

“Cruise control paused” or “Cruise control
suspended” following a brief acceleration

by the driver.

“Cruise control active”, no vehicle
detected.
“Cruise control active”, vehicle detected.

“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, vehicle detected too close or at

a slower speed.

“Cruise control active and speed
adjusted”, automatic deactivation

imminent following a cruise control limit being
reached.

“Cruise control paused”, automatic
deactivation following speed limit

adjustment being exceeded and no reaction from
the driver.

Operating limits

The regulation range is limited to a maximum

difference of 19 mph (30 km/h) between the

cruise speed setting and the speed of the

vehicle in front.

Above this, the system pauses itself if the safety
distance becomes too short.
The adaptive cruise control uses only engine
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing
the accelerator pedal.
The system is paused automatically:
– if the vehicle in front slows down too much or
too suddenly, and the driver does not brake,
– if a vehicle comes between your vehicle and
the vehicle in front,
– if the system does not slow the vehicle enough
to continue to maintain a safe distance, for
example when descending a steep hill.

Cases of non-detection by the radar:

– Stationary vehicles (traffic jam, breakdown,

etc.).
– Vehicles driving in the opposite direction.

When the driver must suspend the cruise

control system:

– When following a narrow vehicle.

– Vehicles not running in the middle of the lane.

– Vehicles entering a corner.
– Vehicles changing lane at the last moment.
Reactivate cruise control when conditions permit.

Cases where the driver is urged to take back

control immediately:

– When a vehicle cuts in sharply between your
vehicle and the one in front.
– Excessively sharp deceleration of the vehicle
in front of you.

The adaptive cruise control operates by
day and night, in fog or moderate rainfall.

The system does not act on the braking
system, but works only with engine

braking.
The regulation range is limited: there will
no longer be any adjustment of speed if the

difference between the programmed speed

setting and the speed of the vehicle in front
becomes too great.

If the difference between the

programmed speed setting and the

speed of the vehicle in front is too great, the
speed cannot be adjusted: the cruise control
is automatically deactivated.

Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction with the adaptive
cruise control, you will be alerted by an audible
signal and the display of the message "Driving
aid functions fault".
Have it checked by a Fiat Dealership or a

qualified workshop.

Active Safety Brake with

Collision Risk Alert and
Intelligent emergency
braking assistance

For more information, refer to the

General recommendations on the use

of driving and manoeuvring aids

.

This system:
– warns the driver that their vehicle is at risk of
collision with the preceding vehicle.
– reduces the vehicle's speed to avoid a
collision or to limit its severity.

The speed will be reduced by a
maximum of 16 mph (25 km/h) (versions

with camera only) or by a maximum of 31
mph (50 km/h) (versions with camera and
radar).

The system also takes motorcyclists into
account.

It may also react on animals. Animals
(especially animals smaller than 0.5 m)
and objects on the road are not necessarily
detected.

This system includes three functions:
– Collision Risk Alert.
– Intelligent emergency braking assistance
(iEBA).
– Active Safety Brake (automatic emergency
braking).

The vehicle has a camera located at the top of
the windscreen and, depending on version, a
radar located in the front bumper.

This system does not replace the need
for driver vigilance.

This system is designed to assist the driver
and improve road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to continuously

monitor traffic conditions in accordance with

applicable driving regulations.

As soon as the system detects a

potential obstacle, it prepares the braking

circuit in case automatic braking is needed.
This may cause a slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
