works (in the different positions) timed with the wind-
screen wiper, but at half speed.

“Smart washing” function
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard (spring-return
position) will activate the rear window washer.
Keep the stalk pressed, with just one movement, to op-
erate the rear window washer jet and the rear window
wiper itself; the latter automatically turns on if you keep
the stalk pressed for more than half a second.
The rear window wiper stops operating a few strokes af-
ter releasing the stalk; a further “cleaning stroke”, after
a few seconds, completes the wiping operation.
Do not use the rear window wiper to re-
move layers of snow or ice from the wind-
screen. In these conditions, the rear window
wipers may be submitted to excessive effort result-
ing in motor protection cutting in and wiper oper-
ation inhibition for a few seconds. If the operation
is not restored, contact a Fiat Dealership.

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 ulti-
mately responsible for road safety.
WARNING
Failure indications
In the event of a failure, the ESP system will be automati-
cally switched off and warning light
á
will appear on
the instrument panel along with a message on the recon-
figurable multifunction display (where provided). The LED
on the button ASR OFF will light up (see “Warning lights
and messages”) In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system is integral part of the ESP system and it is pro-
vided to facilitate starting on slopes. It is automatically ac-
tivated in the following conditions:
❒
uphill: car at a standstill on a road with a gradient high-
er than 2%, engine running, clutch and brake pedal
pressed, gearbox in neutral or engaged gear other than
reverse.
ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability Program) (for versions/markets where provided)
GENERAL INFORMATION
This is an electronic system controlling car stability in
the event of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain direction-
al control.
The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when grip
conditions of road surfaces change.
Besides the ESP, the car is provided with ASR (traction
control with interventions on brakes and engine), HILL
HOLDER (device for start on gradient without using
the brakes), MSR (control of engine braking torque when
shifting gear down) and HBA (automatic increase of brak-
ing pressure in case of emergency braking).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light
á
on the
instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car is in
critical stability and grip conditions.
System engagement
The ESP system comes on automatically when the vehi-
cle is started and cannot be turned off.
