Every time the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON
the ASR OFF button LED switches on for a few
seconds to indicate that the system is running a
diagnosis. The LED activation should not be
understood as a fault.
When the ASR is switched off, the button LED lights
up (along with a message on the display, see
“Warning lights and messages” chapter).
If the ASR is switched off when driving, it is
automatically switched on again when the vehicle is
started up.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it
may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these
conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when moving
off makes it possible to obtain better traction.
Fault indications In the event of a fault, the ASR
system will be deactivated automatically and the
warning light will switch on constantly on the
instrument panel (together with a message on the
display) (see “Warning lights and messages” chapter).
In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
WARNING
The ASR system will not operate when a
spare wheel is fitted: in this case, the
warning light will switch on constantly in the
instrument panel (together with a message on
the display) (see “Warning lights and messages”
chapter).
WARNING
For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems all four tyres must be the
prescribed type and size, be all the same brand
and type on each wheel, and must be in
excellent condition.

SNOW CHAINSThe use of snow chains should be in compliance with
local regulations.
Snow chains may be fitted to the tyres of the front
wheels (drive wheels) only.
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first
few metres have been driven.
Use reduced size snow chains:
❒for 205/55 R16" tyres, use reduced size snow
chains with a maximum projection of 9 mm
beyond the tyre profile;
❒for 225/45 R17" tyres, use reduced size snow
chains with a maximum projection of 7 mm
beyond the tyre profile.
IMPORTANT 225/40 R18 92V tyres cannot be fitted
with chains. Snow chains may cause interference
with the surrounding elements.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel. If a front tyre is punctured,
replace a rear wheel with the space-saver wheel and
move the rear wheel to the front axle. In this way,
with two normal drive wheels at the front, snow
chains can be fitted.
Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pavements and avoid
driving for long distances on roads not covered
with snow to prevent damaging the car and
the roadbed.

WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc . Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. On hills
or uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate
objects to block the wheels of the car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics will be
modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid sudden starting or stopping, sharp
or fast turns.The total life of a space-saver
wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a
rim designed to be used as a space-saver wheel.
Have the tyre repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver wheels
at the same time is forbidden. Do not grease the
threads of bolts before fitting them: they might
slip out .
WARNING
The jack provided is only intended to be
used for replacing wheels on the car
with which it is supplied, or on same-model
vehicles. Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as lifting other car models. Never use it
for repair operations under the car. Incorrectly
positioning the jack may cause the car to fall.
Do not use the jack for loads higher than the
one shown on its label. Never install snow
chains on the space-saver wheel; if a front tyre
(driving wheel) is punctured and you need to
use snow chains, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel on
the rear axle. In this way, with two normal drive
wheels, it is possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
Fit the hub cap correctly to prevent it
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflating valve. Never introduce
tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Check
tyre and space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
referring to the values shown in the "Technical
data" chapter.
