amberEBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and(amber) warning lights (for
versions/markets, where provided), with the
engine on, indicates either a failure of the EBD
system or that the system is not available. In this
case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the
vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
The display shows the dedicated message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system inspected immediately.

ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
The vehicle has the following active
safety systems:
❒ABS;
❒EBD system;
❒Brake Assist system;
❒ESP system;
❒ASR system;
❒Hill Holder system;
❒MSR system;
For the operation of the systems,
see the following pages.
ABS
This is an integral part of the braking
system, which prevents one or
more wheels from locking or slipping
regardless of the road surface
conditions and braking intensity,
ensuring control of the vehicle even
during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking
Force Distribution) completes the
system allowing the brake force to
be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To get the maximum
efficiency of the braking system,
a bedding-in period of about 500
km is needed: during this period it is
better to avoid sharp, repeated
and prolonged braking.
SYSTEM
INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS has
come into action because the brake
pedal pulsates slightly and the
system gets noisier: it means that
the vehicle speed should be altered
to suit the type of road surface.
53) 54) 55)
FAULT INDICATIONS
ABS failure
This is indicated by the
warning
light in the instrument panel coming
on (together with the appropriate
message on the multifunction
display on some versions) (see the
“Warning lights and messages”
chapter).
In this case, the braking system will
still be effective, although without
the extra capacity offered by the
ABS.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.
EBD failure
This is indicated by the
and
warning lights in the instrument
panel coming on (together with
the appropriate message on the
multifunction display on some
versions) (see the “Warning lights
and messages” chapter).

SAFETY
Page 115 of 323

In this case, the rear wheels may
suddenly lock and the vehicle may
swerve when braking sharply. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.
56)
BRAKE ASSIST
(integrated ESP
emergency braking
assistance)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
This system (which cannot be
deactivated) recognises emergency
braking conditions according to
the speed of operation of the brake
pedal and provides an additional
hydraulic braking pressure to
support that provided by the driver.
This allows faster and more powerful
operation of the braking system.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the
versions equipped with ESP, in
the event of ESP system failure
(indicated by the
warning light
coming on together with the
message in the multifunction display,
where provided).
57)
WARNING
53) When the ABS cuts in and you
feel the brake pedal pulsating,
do not raise your foot, but keep it
pressed; in doing so you will stop
in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current
road conditions.
54) If the ABS intervenes, it is a sign
that the grip between tyre and the
road surface has reached the
limit: you must slow down to
adapt the speed to the road grip
available.
55) The ABS exploits the grip
available to the full, but it cannot
improve it. Therefore, you should
take great care when driving on
slippery surfaces, without taking
unnecessary risks.56) If only the
warning light
lights up in the instrument panel
(with a message in the display
on some versions), stop the
vehicle immediately and contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid
leaking from the hydraulic system
will compromise the operation
of the braking system, whether it
is of the conventional type or
with ABS.
57) When the ABS cuts in and you
feel the brake pedal pulsating,
do not raise your foot, but keep it
pressed; in doing so you will stop
in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current
road conditions.

ESC (Electronic
Stability Control)
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic system that
controls vehicle stability in the
event of tyre grip loss, helping to
maintain directional control.
The ESC system is therefore
particularly useful when grip
conditions of road surfaces
change.
The MSR system (adjustment of
the engine braking torque during
gear changes) and the HBA
system (automatic increase in the
braking pressure during
emergency braking) are present
with ESC, ASR and Hill Holder
systems (for versions/markets
where provided).SYSTEM
INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of
the
warning light in the instrument
panel, to inform the driver that the
vehicle is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESC system is automatically
activated when the vehicle is
started.
FAULT INDICATIONS
In the event of a fault, the ESC will
be automatically switched off and
the
warning light will come on
permanently on the instrument panel
along with a message on the
multifunction display (for versions/
markets where provided) (see
"Warning lights and messages"
section). The LED on the ASR OFF
button will also light up. Contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
58)
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the
ESC system and facilitates starting
on slopes. It is automatically
activated in the following conditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient higher than 5%,
engine running, brake pressed and
gearbox in neutral or gear (other than
reverse) engaged;
❒downhill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient higher than 5%,
engine running, brake pressed and
reverse gear engaged.
When setting off, the ESC system
control unit maintains the braking
pressure at the wheels until the
torque necessary for starting is
reached, or in any case for a
maximum of 1.75 seconds, allowing
your right foot to be moved easily
from the brake pedal to the
accelerator.
If the vehicle has not departed after
1.75 seconds, the system will
deactivate automatically by gradually
releasing the brake force.
112
SAFETY
Page 117 of 323

During this release stage, the typical
brake disengagement noise
indicating that the vehicle is going to
move imminently will be heard.
Fault indications
Any system fault is indicated by the
turning on of the
warning light on
the instrument panel with digital
display and the
warning light on
the instrument panel with
multifunction display (for versions/
markets where provided) (see
section “Warning lights and
messages”).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system
is not a parking brake, therefore
do not leave the vehicle without
activating the handbrake, switching
off the engine and engaging first
gear.
59)
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip
Regulator)
This is a traction control system that
cuts in automatically every time
one or both drive wheels slip.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, it 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 a system that, in the event of
a sudden gear down shift, cuts in
and provides torque to the engine
thus preventing excessive drive
wheel drive which, especially in poor
grip conditions, can lead to a loss
of stability.
Engagement/
disengagement of the
ASR system
The ASR system switches on
automatically each time the engine
is started.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be
switched off and subsequently
switched on again by pressing the
fig. 118 button on the dashboard.
Switching off is shown by the
warning light on the instrument
panel switching on and a dedicated
message shown in the multifunction
display, where provided.
If the ASR is switched off when
driving, it is automatically switched
on again when the vehicle is started
up.
