Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the Traction Plus
system, press button A fig. 127: the
LED on the button switches on.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system involves the following functions
being switched on:
❒inhibition of the ASR function, in
order to fully exploit the engine
torque;
❒the differential locking effect on the
front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction
on irregular grounds.
If the Traction Plus system is faulty, the
warning light on the instrument
panel switches on constantly.When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn
the Traction Plus on and thus inhibiting
the ASR function: in fact, in these
conditions, slipping of the drive wheels
when moving off makes it possible to
obtain better traction.
WARNING
67) The Traction Plus system acts
effectively only on road surfaces
that are not homogeneous and/or
differentiated between the two
drive wheels.
68) Until the setting off manoeuvre is
terminated, fully depress the
accelerator pedal in order to
transfer all the drive torque to the
wheel with the best grip.
TPMS (Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
69) 70) 71) 72) 73) 74) 75) 76) 77)
DESCRIPTION
The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) warns the driver of low tyre
pressure on the basis of the cold
inflation pressure prescribed for the
vehicle.
Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressure to vary. This means
that a decrease in the outside
temperature corresponds to a decrease
in the tyre pressure.
Tyre pressure must always be adjusted
according to the cold inflation pressure.
Cold tyre inflation pressure is the tyre
pressure after letting the vehicle stand
for at least three hours or a travel
shorter than 1.6 km after an interval of
three hours.
The cold tyre inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure value printed on the side of
the tyre.
127F1A0325
87

The tyre pressure also increases while
driving the vehicle: this is a normal
condition and does not require any
adjustment of the pressure.
The TPMS continues to advise the
driver of the low tyre pressure condition
until this is corrected; the warning
continues until the pressure
corresponds or exceeds the pressure
prescribed for the cold tyres. When the
tyre low pressure control warning
light
switches on constantly, the
inflation pressure must be adjusted until
it reaches the pressure prescribed for
cold tyres. After the automatic update
of the system, the tyre pressure control
warning light switches off. You may
need to drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.
NOTE
❒The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
❒Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while
adjusting the tyre inflation pressure.❒Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can
result in tyre failure. The low inflation
pressure reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life and may also affect
handling and braking performance
of the vehicle.
❒The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to
the driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with a
suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not
cause the tyre pressure control
warning light to switch on.
❒The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal
pressure loss of the tyre.
❒The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.
The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.WARNING Monitoring and maintaining
the correct pressure in all four tyres
are particularly important.
Tyre pressure
monitoring system low
pressure warnings
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the warning light
on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal).
In this case, stop the vehicle as soon as
possible, check the inflation pressure
of each tyre and inflate to the cold tyre
pressure value prescribed for the
vehicle. The system will automatically
update and after receiving the tyre
pressure update the tyre pressure
control warning light switches off. You
may need to drive the vehicle for about
20 minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the system to receive this
information.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by
warning light
which first flashes for
75 seconds and then stays on steadily.
This can occur in any of the following
situations:
❒interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.
❒Application of tinted films which
interfere with the signals of the radio
waves.
❒Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
❒Use of snow chains.
❒Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPM sensors.
❒The space-saver wheel is not
equipped with the tyre pressure
control sensor. Therefore, the tyre
pressure is not controlled by the
system.
❒If the space-saver wheel replaces a
tyre with a pressure lower than the
insufficient pressure limit, an acoustic
signal will be emitted and the warning
light
will switch on at the next
ignition cycle.❒When the original tyre is repaired or
replaced and it is mounted back on
the vehicle to replace the space-
saver wheel, the TPMS will update
automatically and the warning light
will switch off, provided that the
pressure of none of the four tyres is
below the insufficient pressure limit.
You may need to drive the vehicle for
about 20 minutes at a speed higher
than 20 km/h to allow the TPMS
to receive this information.IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
WARNING
69) The TPMS is optimised for the
original tyres and wheels
provided. TPMS pressures and
alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres
mounted on the vehicle. Using
equipment with different size,
type or kind may cause irregular
system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare
wheels can damage the sensor.
Do not use tyre sealant or
balancing weights if the vehicle is
equipped with TPMS as these
may damage the sensors.
70) If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the
pressure on all four tyres.
71) TPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the
tyre pressure every month; it is
not even to be considered a
replacing system for maintenance
or a safety system.
89

72) Tyre pressure must be checked
with tyres cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason
to check pressure with warm
tyres, do not reduce pressure
even if it is higher than the
prescribed value, but repeat the
check when tyres are cold.
73) The TPMS cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops (for
example when a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the car, braking
with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
74) The system only warns that the
tyre pressure is low: it is not able
to inflate them.
75) An insufficient tyre inflation
increases fuel consumption,
reduces the tread duration and
may affect the capacity of driving
safely.
76) Always refit the valve stem cap
after inspecting or adjusting tyre
pressure. This prevents dampness
or dirt from entering the valve
stem and thus the pressure
control sensor from being
damaged.77) The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go)
provided with the car (for
versions/markets, where
provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original
kit may adversely affect its
operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one
are used, it is recommended to
have the TPMS sensor operation
checked by a qualified repair
centre.DRIVING ADVISOR
(lane crossing warning)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
82) 79) 80)
The Driving Advisor is a warning system
that notifies the driver if he/she crosses
the lane because he/she has been
distracted.
A video sensor, fitted on the windscreen
near the interior rear view mirror,
detects the lane demarcation lines and
the position of the car in relation to
them.
IMPORTANT On cars with Driving
Advisor, it is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership should the windscreen
need to be replaced. If the repair is
carried out at a specialist window
replacement centre, it is still necessary
to go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
camera calibrated.

OPERATION WITH
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is
automatically deactivated when the
electric cable plug of the trailer is
inserted into the vehicle tow hook
socket.
The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed.
17)
86)
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the
tow hook fitted without towing a trailer,
it is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership for the relevant system
update operations because the tow
hook could be detected as an obstacle
by the central sensors.
When using special washing equipment
such as high pressure jets or steam
cleaning, clean the sensors very quickly
keeping the jet more than 10 cm away.IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
❒Do not apply stickers to the sensors.
❒When parking, take the utmost
care over obstacles that may be
above or under the sensor.
❒Objects close to the vehicle, in
certain circumstances are not
detected and could therefore cause
damage to the vehicle or be
damaged.
The following conditions may influence
the performance of the parking
assistance system:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence on the surface of the
sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick
paint.
❒The sensor may detect a non-
existent obstacle (echo noise) due to
mechanical noises, for example
when washing the vehicle, in case of
rain, strong wind, hail.
❒The signals sent by the sensors can
also be altered by the presence of
ultrasonic systems (e.g. pneumatic
brake systems or pneumatic drills)
near the vehicle.❒The performance of the parking
assistance system may also be
affected by the position of the
sensors. For example by a change in
the ride setting (caused by the wear
of the shock absorbers, suspension),
changing the tyres, overloading the
vehicle and carrying out specific
tuning operations that require the
vehicle to be lowered.
❒Detection of obstacles in the upper
part of the vehicle (particularly in the
case of vans or chassis cabs) may
not be guaranteed because the
system detects obstacles that could
strike the lower part of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT
17) The sensor must be clean of
mud, dirt, snow or ice in order for
the system to operate correctly.
Be careful not to scratch or
damage the sensors while
cleaning them. Avoid using dry,
rough or hard cloths. The sensors
must be washed using clean
water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary.
101

IMPORTANT The range can be affected
by several factors: driving style (see
paragraph “Driving style” in the
“Starting and driving” section), type of
route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc…), usage
conditions (load, tyre pressures, etc…).
Trip planning must therefore take the
above into account.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new journey.
Average consumption (for versions/
markets, where provided)
This value shows the approximate
average fuel consumption from the start
of the new journey.
Instant consumption (for versions/
markets where provided)
This value shows the fuel consumption.
The value is constantly updated. The
display will show “----”ifthecar
is parked with the engine running.Average speed
This value shows the car's average
speed based on the overall time
elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
Trip time
Time elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
IMPORTANT If there is no information,
the Trip computer displays "----" in
place of the value. When normal
operating conditions are restored, the
counting of the various values is
resumed, without either zeroing the
values displayed prior to the problem,
or starting a new mission.
TRIP control button
The TRIP button is located on the right
stalk fig. 152. With the ignition key
turned to MAR-ON, this button allows
you to view the previously described
values and also zero them to begin
a new journey:
❒brief press to access the various
values displays;
❒long press to reset and then start a
new mission.New mission
This begins after a reset:
❒“manual” resetting by the user, by
pressing the relevant button;
❒“automatic” resetting, when the
distance travelled reaches 3,999.9
km or 9,999.9 km (depending on the
type of display) or when the travel
time reaches 99.59 (99 hours and 59
minutes);
❒after disconnection/reconnection of
the battery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when
“Trip A” details are being displayed
only resets the information associated
with this function.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberTPMS
TPMS failure
The warning light switches on when a fault is
detected in the TPMS.In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Tyre pressure low
The warning light switches on to indicate that the
tyre pressure is lower than the recommended
value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring.
In these circumstances, optimal tyre duration and
fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
IMPORTANT
23) Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if warning lighteither does not light up when the key is turned to
MAR to if while travelling the warning lights comes on either steady or blinking (along with a message on the display).
24) During regeneration, the fan could be operated.
148
KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

❒lastly, remember that the vehicle’s
dynamic behaviour is affected by
the weight transported: in particular,
the stopping distances are longer,
especially at high speed.
IMPORTANT
36) Each of these must be strictly
observed and MUST NEVER BE
EXCEEDED in any case. In
particular, ensure that you never
exceed the maximum permitted
weights on the front and rear
axles when arranging the load on
the vehicle (particularly if the
vehicle is equipped with a specific
trim level).
WARNING
137) Irregular trajectories and abrupt
braking may cause sudden
movements of the load with
consequent situations of hazard
for the driver and passengers:
before setting off, secure the load
tightly using the appropriate
hooks on the floor and use steel
cables, ropes or chains strong
enough to hold the items to be
secured.
138) If a vehicle is parked on a very
steep gradient or with a side
gradient, opening the rear door or
side door could cause any
unsecured items to emerge
suddenly.
139) If you wish to carry a reserve of
petrol in a can, observe the legal
restrictions and only use a can
that is type-approved and
properly secured to the load
anchorage eyebolts. Anyway, by
doing so, you increase the risk
of fire in the event of an accident
with your vehicle.
SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for
fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other pollutants
(nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter (PM),
etc.).
GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried
out in accordance with the “Scheduled
Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once
every four weeks: if the pressure is
too low, consumption levels increase as
resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
luggage compartment. The weight of
the vehicle (especially when driving
in town) and its geometry greatly affect
fuel consumption and stability.
