ANTI-RAISING SENSOR
The anti-raising sensor detects any ab-
normal vehicle raising/sloping, even partial
(e.g.: attempt to remove a wheel).
This sensor can detect the smallest vehi-
cle sideslip angle changes, both longitudi-
nally and transversally.
Sideslip angle changes lower than 0.5°/min.
(e.g.: slow tyre flattening) are not consid-
ered.
Anti-raising protection
deactivation
To deactivate the anti-raising protection
(for example when towing the vehicle with
alarm on) press button A-fig.8a set on
the control panel; protection stays on un-
til activating the central door opening
again.

DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the vehicle for a preset
period of time.
Activation fig. 68
With the ignition key at OFFor removed,
pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
within 2 minutes from when the engine
is turned off.
At each single movement of the stalk, the
staying on of the lights is extended by 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally. Each time the stalk is operated, the in-
strument panel warning light 3will turn
on together with a message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”) until the function is active. The
warning light comes on the first time the
stalk is operated and will stay on up to au-
tomatic function deactivation. Each oper-
ation of the stalk will extend just the lights
switching on time.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS
SENSOR (daylight sensor)
(where provided)
It detects the changes of the external light
intensity of the vehicle according to the
light sensitivity set: the greater the sensi-
tivity is, the smaller the amount of exter-
nal light necessary to control the switch-
ing-on of the external headlights will be.
The daylight sensor sensitivity can be ad-
justed by the “Set-up menu” of the display.Activation fig. 69
Turn the knurled ring to
2A:in this way,
the automatic activation of the side/tail-
lights and dipped beam headlights is si-
multaneously enabled according to the ex-
ternal luminosity.
Deactivation
As a result of the sensor control, the
dipped beam headlights will switch off and,
after about 10 seconds, sidelights will
switch off too.
The sensor is not able to detect the fog
presence, lights shall therefore be
switched on manually.

BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance
integral with ESP) (where provided)
The system, which cannot be cut out, rec-
ognizes emergency braking (on the ground
of the brake pedal operation speed) and
considerably increases the pressure in the
brake circuit.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions
equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP sys-
tem failure (indicated by warning light
áswitching on together with the message
on the multifunction display, where pro-
vided).
ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the vehicle stability in the event
of tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road sur-
faces changes.
In addition to the ESP system, ASR system
and Hill Holder, (where provided) also the
MSR system (adjusting the engine braking
torque) and the HBA system (improving
the braking force during emergency brak-
ing) are provided.
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 vehicle is in crit-
ical stability and grip conditions.
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.
WARNING
EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>and xon the in-
strument panel together with the dedi-
cated message on the multifunction dis-
play (where provided), (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
In this case with sharp braking the rear
wheels might lock too early, with the pos-
sibility of skidding. Drive extremely care-
fully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
If warning light xalone
comes on (together with the
message on the multifunction display,
where provided), stop the vehicle im-
mediately and contact the nearest Fi-
at Dealership. Fluid leaks from the hy-
draulic system, in fact, can compro-
mise the braking system, both tradi-
tional systems and systems with ABS.

MSR system
(engine braking torque control)
It is an integral part of the ASR system that
in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in pro-
viding torque to the engine thus prevent-
ing excessive driving wheel drive that, spe-
cially in poor grip conditions, can lead to
loss of stability.
Switching the systemon/off fig. 126
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
When travelling, the ASR can be switched
off and on again by pressing switch Alo-
cated on the dashboard fig. 126. When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led on the
switch and by relevant message on the
multifunction display, where provided.
Versions equipped with ASR system on-
ly, at deactivation (ASR OFF) the warn-
ing light Vwill always stay on.
If the ASR is switched off when travelling,
it will turn on again automatically the next
time the engine is started.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the
ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slip-
ping of the driving wheels when moving off
makes it possible to obtain better drive.
For correct operation of the
ESP and ASR systems, the
tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in per-
fect conditions and, above all, of
type, brand and size specified.
WARNING
fig. 126F0N0077m
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)
The ASR function controls vehicle drive
and cuts in automatically every time one
or both driving wheels slip.
According to slipping conditions, two dif-
ferent control systems are activated:
❒if slipping involves both driving wheels,
the ASR function intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping involves only one dri-
ving wheel, the ASR system cuts in au-
tomatically braking the wheel that is
slipping.
The action of the ASR is particularly help-
ful in the following circumstances:
❒slipping of the inner wheel due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or ex-
cessive acceleration;
❒too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the condi-
tions of the road surface;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces;
❒in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-
face (aquaplaning).

CORRECT USE
OF THE VEHICLE
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used
with a max speed index below the one
that can be reached by the vehicle (in-
creased by 5%), place a notice in the pas-
senger’s compartment, plainly in the dri-
ver’s view which states the max permis-
sible speed of the snow tyres (as per EC
Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand
and track) to ensure greater safety when
driving and braking and better driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of tyres.SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in compli-
ance with local regulations.
Snow chains should only be applied to the
driving wheels (front wheels). We rec-
ommend using Lineaccessori Fiat snow
chains.
Check the tension of the chains after the
first few metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT With snow chains, use the
accelerator with extreme care to prevent
or to limit as much as possible slipping of
the driving wheels that could cause chain
breaking resulting in damages to the ve-
hicle body or mechanical components.
IMPORTANT Use snow chains with re-
duced size.
SNOW TYRES
Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide
advice concerning the most suitable type
of tyre for the customer’s requirements.
The winter features of these tyres are re-
duced considerably when the tread depth
is below 4 mm. In this case, they should
be replaced.
Due to the snow tyre features, under nor-
mal conditions of use or on long motor-
way journeys, the performance of these
tyres is lower than that of normal tyres. It
is therefore necessary to limit their use to
the purposes for which they are certified.
The max speed for snow
tyres with “Q” marking is
160 km/h; 190 km/h for tyres with “T”
marking and 210 km/h for tyres with
H marking. The Road Traffic Code
speed limits must however be always
strictly observed.

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries:
sparks could ignite the flammable gas from
the battery. If the other battery is fitted in
another vehicle, prevent accidental con-
tacts between the metal parts of the two
vehicles.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing,
towing, or coasting downhill) as this could
cause fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-
haust system and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the power steering system
are not operating until the engine is start-
ed, a greater effort will therefore be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and spare wheel call for some pre-
cautions as listed below.
Alert other drivers that the
vehicle is stationary in com-
pliance with the regulations in force:
hazard warning lights, warning trian-
gle etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the vehicle, especially if
it is heavily laden. Passengers should
stay away from oncoming traffic
while the wheel is being changed on.
Pull the handbrake.
WARNING
The spare wheel is specific to
your vehicle, do not use it on
other models, or use the spare wheel
of other models on your vehicle.
Wheel bolts are specific to your vehi-
cle: do not use them on other models
and do not use bolts of other models.
WARNING
Have the punctured wheel
repaired and refitted as soon
as possible. Do not grease the threads
of bolts before installing them: they
might slip out.

compliance with the regulations in
force (e.g.: warning triangle, hazard
warning lights, etc …);
❒take the extension and the wrench
from the tool bag under the passen-
ger’s seat (see “Compartment under
the front passenger’s seat” in section
“dashboard and controls”);
The jack shall only be used
for changing wheels on the
vehicle with which it is provided or on
vehicles of the same model. It must
not be used for other purposes such
as for instance raising vehicles of oth-
er models. In no case should it be used
for repairs under the vehicle. Incor-
rect positioning of the jack may cause
the jacked vehicle to fall. Do not use
the jack for higher capacities than
stated on its label.
WARNING
Never tamper with the in-
flation valve. Never place
tools between the rim and tyre.
Check and restore, if required, the
pressure of tyres and spare wheel to
the values given in section “Technical
Specifications”.
WARNING
Please note:
❒the jack weight is 4,5 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks
it must be replaced with a new jack;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
