For the correct operation of the ASR system, the tyres
must absolutely be the same make and type on all wheels,
in perfect condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size specified.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ASR will be automatically
switched off and warning light
áwill appear permanently
in the instrument panel along with a message in the mul-
tifunction display, where provided (see “Warning lights and
messages”). In this case, contact the Fiat Service Network
as soon as possible. If the ASR is switched off during a journey, it comes back
on automatically when the engine is next started up.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may
be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions,
the drive wheels slipping during take off gives you better
traction.
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your
vehicle is fitted with this system. Your dri-
ving style must always be suited to the road con-
ditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is always
ultimately responsible for road safety.

SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
Snow chains may be fitted only to the front wheel tyres
(drive wheels).
Check the tension of the chains after the first few metres
have been driven.You must not exceed 160 km/h on snow
tyres with a “Q” mark; in any case, make
sure you stick to the rules of the highway code.
WARNING
Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted – do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pavements and also
avoid driving for long distances on roads not cov-
ered with snow to avoid damaging the car and the
road surface.
