ESP SYSTEM FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ESP system will be
automatically switched off and warning light
will
switch on constantly on the instrument panel (on
some versions along with a message on the display,
see “Warning lights and messages” chapter). In
this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with an ESP
system.Your driving style must always be suited
to the road conditions, visibility and traffic .
The driver is always responsible for road safety.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It's integral to the ESP system. It automatically
activates with the following conditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake
pedals pressed and gearbox in neutral or gear
other than reverse engaged;
❒downhill: car stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake
pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.
When setting off the ESP system control unit will
keep brake force on wheels until the torque
necessary for starting is reached, or in any case formax. 2 seconds in order to pass easily from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
When two seconds have elapsed, without starting,
the system is automatically deactivated, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During this release
stage, the typical mechanical brake release noise can
be heard, indicating that the car is about to move.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM FAILURE
INDICATIONS
A possible system failure is indicated by the
warning light on the instrument panel - together
with the dedicated message in the multifunction
display (for versions/markets, where provided) -
coming on (see "Warning lights and messages"
chapter).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake, therefore do not leave the car without
activating the handbrake, switching off the engine and
engaging first gear.
WARNING
If the space-saver wheel is used, the ESP
system keeps operating. Always
remember that the space-saver wheel, being
smaller than the original wheel, provides less
grip. For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems it is vital that the tyres are the
same make and the same type on all the
wheels, in perfect condition and, above all, the
recommended type, make and size.

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 TYRESUse snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres
provided with the car.
A Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice
concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the
customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures
and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph "Wheels" in section
"Technical specifications".
The winter features of these tyres are reduced
considerably when the tread depth is below 4 mm.
Replace them in this case.
Due to snow tyre features, under normal conditions
of use or on long motorway journeys, the
performance of these tyres is much lower than that
of standard tyres. Their usage should therefore be
restricted in accordance with their type approval.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a
maximum speed index below the one that can be
reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a notice
in the passenger compartment, plainly in view, which
states the maximum speed allowed by the snow
tyres (as per EC Directive).All four tyres should be the same (brand and track)
to ensure greater safety when driving and braking
and better driveability.
Remember that you should not change the rotation
direction of the tyres.
WARNING
The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190
km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres.
You should, however, always stick to the speed
limits of the Road Traffic Code.

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.
