ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability Program)
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronic system that controls vehicle
stability in the event of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain
directional control.
The ESP 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 ESP, ASR and Hill
Holder systems (for versions/markets where provided).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of warning light
áin the
instrument panel, to inform the driver that the vehicle is
in critical stability and grip conditions.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESP system is automatically activated when the
vehicle is started and cannot be de-activated. BRAKE ASSIST (emergency braking assistance
integrated in ESP)
(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.
The Brake Assist is deactivated on versions equipped
with ESP, in the event of an ESP system failure (indicated
by warning light
áswitching on together with the
message in the multifunction display, for
versions/markets where provided).
When the ABS intervenes and you notice
the brake pedal pulsating, do not be
afraid to keep the pedal pushed down. This will
help you to stop in the shortest distance
possible, depending on the road conditions.

❒downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake
pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.
At pickup the
ESPsystem control unit will maintain the
braking pressure at the wheels until the necessary torque
for starting is reached or, in any case, for a maximum of
2 seconds in order to move easily from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal. When two seconds have
elapsed, without starting, the system is automatically
deactivated, gradually releasing the braking pressure.
During this release stage, the typical brake
disengagement noise indicating that the vehicle is going
to move imminently will be heard.
Failure warning
The
áwarning light in the instrument panel will come
on in the event of a failure (see “Warning lights and
messages” section).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake; therefore, never leave the vehicle without having
engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off and
engaged first gear. FAILURE WARNING
In the event of a failure, the ESP will be automatically
switched off and the áwarning light will come on
constantly in the instrument panel along with a message
in the multifunction display (for versions/markets where
provided) (see “Warning lights and messages” section).
The LED in the ASR OFF button will light up. Contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if this happens.
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with an ESP system.
Your driving style must always be suited to the
road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver
is ultimately responsible for road safety.
WARNING
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the
ESPsystem and it is
provided to facilitate starting on hills.
It is automatically activated in the following conditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake
pedal pressed, gearbox in neutral or gear other than
reverse engaged;
For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems, 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.

MSR system
(engine braking torque control)
This is an integral part of the ASR 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. 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
function intervenes by reducing the power
transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping only involves only one driving wheel,
the ASR system cuts in by automatically braking the
wheel that is slipping.
The action of the
ASRis particularly helpful in the
following circumstances:
❒slipping of the inner wheel when cornering due to
the effect of dynamic load changes or excessive
acceleration;
❒too much power transmitted to the wheels also in
relation to the conditions of the road surface;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy surfaces;
❒loss of grip on a wet surface (aquaplaning).
For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems, 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.

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 WARNING
In the event of a failure, the ASR will be automatically
switched off and the áwarning light will come on
constantly in the instrument panel along with a message
in the multifunction display (for versions/markets where
provided) (see “Warning lights and messages” section).
The LED in the ASR OFF button will light up. Contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if this happens. Switching the system on/off fig. 135
The ASR system switches on automatically each time
the engine is started.
The ASR can be turned off and then turned back on
again whilst driving by pressing the switch A located in
the dashboard.
The switching off is shown by the LED in the switch
itself coming on together with a message shown in the
multifunction display, for versions/markets where
provided.
In versions with an ASR system only, when it is turned
off (ASR OFF) the warning light
Vstays on.
If the ASR is switched off when driving, it is
automatically switched on again when the vehicle is
started up.
F0N0077mfig. 135
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with this system.
Your driving style must always be suited to the
road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver
is ultimately responsible for road safety.
WARNING
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains,
it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these
conditions, the driving wheels skidding when moving
off gives you better traction.

ESP-ASR SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
HILL HOLDER FAILURE (amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to the MAR-ON position the
warning light comes on but should go out after a few
seconds.
ESP-ASR system failure
If the warning light does not go off or stays on together
with the LED on the ASR button when travelling,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
On certain versions the dedicated message is displayed.
N.B. The warning light flashing when driving indicates
that the ESP system has been activated.
á
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(amber)
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
When the key is turned to the MAR-ON position the
warning light comes on but should go out after a few
seconds.
The warning light turns on constantly when the DPF
system needs to eliminate the trapped pollutants
through the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on every time the
DPF is being regenerated, rather only when the driving
conditions are such that the driver needs to know it.
The warning light will go off if the vehicle stays in
motion until regeneration has been completed. As an
average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
Optimum conditions for completing the process are
achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine revs
above 2000 rpm.
If this warning light comes on, it does not mean the
vehicle is defective, so there is no need to take it to
a garage.
For versions/markets where provided, the display
shows the dedicated message and the warning light
comes on.
hAlways drive at a speed appropriate to the
traffic conditions, the weather and speed
limits. The engine can also be switched off if the
DPF warning light is on; nevertheless, repeated
interruptions of the regeneration process could
cause an early decay of engine oil. For this reason,
always wait until the warning light switches off
before stopping the engine as described above.
It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration
with the vehicle stationary.

comes on when the system is turned off.
The warning light flashes when the ASR cuts in to notify
the driver that the system is adapting to the road
surface grip conditions.
Activation of the warning light together with the
message shown on the display and a buzzer also indicate
ASR system failure. Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible in this case.
The messages shown on the display appear when the
ASR function is activated/deactivated manually (see
“ASR System” in the section on “Dashboard and
controls”).
In versions with an ASR system only, when it is turned
off (ASR OFF) the warning light stays on.

POWER STEERING FAILURE (red)
Turning the ignition key to MAR-ON the
warning light on the dial turns on, but it should
go off after a few seconds.
If the warning light stays on together with the message
shown on the display and a buzzer, the power steering
is ineffective and the effort on the steering wheel
increases significantly even though the vehicle can be
steered. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
