ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the car stability in the event of
tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road sur-
faces changes.
ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-
ing light
áon the instrument panel, to in-
form the driver that the car is in critical
stability and grip conditions.
ESP SYSTEM OPERATION
The ESP system is automatically activat-
ed when the car is started and cannot be
de-activated.
FAILURE WARNINGS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is
automatically disconnected and the warn-
ing light
á, comes on with fixed light on
the instrument panel, together with the
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”). In this
case contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.At pickup the ESP system control unit will
keep brake force on wheels until reaching
the torque suitable for starting, or in any
case for max. 1.5 seconds in order to pass
easily from the brake pedal to the accel-
erator pedal.
After two seconds without starting, the
system will deactivate automatically by re-
leasing gradually the brake force.
At releasing, the typical brake disengage-
ment noise indicating that the car is go-
ing to move will be heard.
Failure indications
System failure is indicated by the turning
on of warning light
áon the instrument
panel (together with the message on the
multifunction display) (see section “Warn-
ing lights and messages”).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is
not a parking brake. Never get out of the
car without engaging the handbrake,
switching the engine off and engaging the
first gear (position P con with automatic
transmission).
Performance of the ESP sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility an traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.
WARNING
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
(where provided)
This system is an integral part of the ESP
system and it is provided to facilitate start-
ing on slopes.
It will activate automatically with the fol-
lowing conditions:
Uphill: car at a standstill on a road with a
gradient higher than 5%, engine running,
clutch and brake pedal pressed, gearbox
to neutral or engaged gear other than re-
verse.
Downhill: car at a standstill on a road with
a gradient higher than 5%, engine running,
clutch and brake pedal pressed and re-
verse gear engaged.
