Automatic deactivation
The device deactivates automatically in the following
cases:
❒ intervention of the ABS or ESC systems;
❒ with the car speed below the set limit
❒ in the event of system failure.
WARNING
When travelling with the device active,
never move the gear lever to neutral.
WARNING
In the event of device faults or failures,
turn knob A to O and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
SPEED LIMITER
This device allows the speed of the car to be limited
to values which can be set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both with car
stationary and in motion. The minimum speed that
can be set is 30 km/h.
When the device is active, the car speed depends on
the pressure at the accelerator pedal, until the
programmed speed limit is reached (see "Speed limit
programming" paragraph).
If necessary (in the event of overtaking for example),
the programmed speed limit can be exceeded by
fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
By gradually reducing the pressure on the accelerator
pedal, the function will be reactivated as soon as
the car speed drops below the programmed speed.
Activating the device
To activate the device, turn ring nut A fig. 48 to
Activation of the device is indicated by the
warning light on the instrument panel switching
on and, on some versions, by a message on the
display plus last programmed speed value.
Speed limit programming
The speed limit can be programmed without
necessarily activating the device.
To store a speed value higher than that displayed,
move stalk A upwards (+). Each movement of the
stalk corresponds to an increase in speed of about 1
km/h, while keeping the stalk held upwards will
increase the speed with an increment of 5 km/h.
To store a value lower than that displayed, move
stalk A downwards (–). Each movement of the stalk
corresponds to a decrease in speed of about 1
km/h, while keeping the stalk held downwards a
decrease of 5 km/h is obtained.
