Device activation
The system is automatically enabled on all the
doors by pressing button
twice on the key with
remote control.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes of the
direction indicators and a flash of the LED on the
door locking button on the dashboard (see table on
next page).
If one or more of the doors is not closed correctly,
the safe lock device will not activate, thus
preventing a person from getting stuck inside the
passenger compartment by entering the car
through, and then closing, the open door.Device deactivation
The system is disabled automatically on every door
in the following cases:
❒unlocking the doors;
❒turning the ignition key to the MAR-ON position.

ALARM(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the remote control
functions described previously, is controlled by the
receiver located under the dashboard near the
fuse box.
ALARM ACTIVATION
The alarm intervenes in the following instances:
❒when a door, the bonnet or the tailgate is
opened illegally (perimeter protection);
❒when the ignition system is started up (ignition
key turned to MAR-ON);
❒cutting of the battery leads;
❒movement inside the passenger compartment
(volume sensing protection);
❒anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle.Depending on the market, the activation of the
alarm causes the activation of the siren and the
direction indicators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm
tripping and the number of cycles depend on the
sales market.
There is a maximum number of acoustic/visual
cycles. When this is reached the system returns to
normal operation.
The volume sensing and anti-lift protection can be
excluded by adjusting the dedicated control on
the front roof light (see “Volume sensing/Anti-lift
protection”).
IMPORTANT The engine stop function is
guaranteed by the Fiat CODE which is
automatically activated when the key is extracted
from the ignition switch.

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
prescribed type, make and size.
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulation)
This is integral to the ESP system and automatically
intervenes if one or both drive wheels slip, helping
the driver to control the car.
Depending on the slipping conditions, two different
control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the ASR
intervenes reducing the power transmitted by the
engine;
❒if the slipping only involves one of the drive
wheels, the ASR intervenes automatically braking
the wheel that is slipping.
The action of the ASR system is particularly helpful
in the following circumstances:
❒slipping of the inner wheel on bends due to
dynamic variations in the load or excessive
acceleration;❒excessive power transmitted to the wheels, also
in relation to road surface conditions;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy road
surfaces;
❒loss of grip on wet road surfaces (aquaplaning).
MSR SYSTEM (ENGINE DRIVE
REGULATION)
This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in
the event of a sudden gear downshifting, cuts in and
provides torque to the engine thus preventing
excessive drive wheel drive which, especially in
poor grip conditions, can lead to loss of stability.
ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT OF THE
ASR SYSTEM
The ASR system switches on automatically each
time the engine is started.
When the system is active, a message is shown on
the display (see “Warning lights and messages”
chapter).
Whilst driving, the ASR can be deactivated and
subsequently activated again by pressing the ASR
OFF button on the dashboard, next to the steering
wheel.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be switched off and
subsequently switched on again by pressing button
C.

START&STOP SYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)
INTRODUCTION
The Start&Stop system automatically stops the
engine when the car is stationary and starts it again
when the driver wants to move off. This reduces
consumption, the emission of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
The system activates every time the car is started.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops with
gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal released.
Restarting the engine
Press the clutch pedal to restart the engine.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped
automatically after driving at a speed of more than
about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine from being
repeatedly stopped when driving at walking pace.
The symbol
fig. 104 appears on the display when
the engine stops.MANUAL SYSTEM ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
To activate/deactivate the system manually, press
the
fig. 105 button on the dashboard control
trim.
