GRAPHICAL INDEX

57) If the space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets, where
provided) is used, the ABS keeps
operating. Always remember
that the space-saver wheel, being
smaller than the original wheel,
provides less grip.ESC (Electronic
Stability Control)
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The ESC system improves the
directional control and stability of the
vehicle in various driving conditions.
The ESC system corrects the vehicle’s
understeer and oversteer, distributing
the brake force on the appropriate
wheels. The torque supplied by the
engine can also be reduced in order to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The ESC system uses the sensors in
the vehicle to determine the trajectory
required by the driver through steering
and compares it with the real trajectory
of the vehicle. When the real trajectory
deviates from the desired trajectory, the
ESC system intervenes to counter the
car’s understeer or oversteer.
❒Oversteer: occurs when the vehicle is
turning more than it should according
to the angle of the steering wheel.
❒Understeer: occurs when the vehicle
is turning less than it should
according to the angle of the steering
wheelThe ESC system also includes the
following subsystems:
❒Hill Holder
❒ASR
❒HBA
❒ERM
❒HDC
58) 59) 60)
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of
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 switches on
automatically when the engine is
started and cannot be switched off.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
IMPORTANT In some circumstances,
such as with ice, snow or mud on
the surface of the camera, its sensitivity
may be reduced.
IMPORTANT If the rear doors need to
be re-painted after the repairs, make
sure the paint does not get in contact
with the plastic support of the camera.
IMPORTANT When parking, take the
utmost care over obstacles that may be
above or under the camera range.
WARNING
81) The responsibility for parking
and other manoeuvres is always
and in any case charged to the
driver. While carrying out these
manoeuvres, always make sure
that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the
area concerned. The camera is an
aid for the driver, but the driver
must never allow his/her attention
to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds.
Always keep a slow speed, so as
to promptly brake in the case
of obstacles.
IMPORTANT
9) It is vital, for correct operation,
that the camera is always kept
clean and free from mud, dirt,
snow or ice. Be careful not to
scratch or damage the camera
while cleaning it. Avoid using dry,
rough or hard cloths. The camera
must be washed using clean
water, with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing
stations which use steam or
high-pressure jets, clean the
camera quickly, keeping the
nozzle more than 10 cm away
from the sensors. Do not apply
stickers to the camera.
97

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.

Traffic and road
conditions
Rather high consumption levels are
linked to situations with heavy traffic, for
instance when travelling in queues
with frequent use of the lower gears or
in cities with many traffic lights. Winding
mountain roads and rough road
surfaces also adversely affect
consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
The vehicle must be provided with a
type-approved tow hook and adequate
electrical system to tow caravans or
trailers. Installation should be carried
out by specialised personnel who
will issue the required papers for
travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the
braking spaces increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the vehicle
tow hook will reduce the loading
capacity of the vehicle by the same
amount. Consider the weight of the
trailer fully laden, including accessories
and luggage, to make sure you do
not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown on the vehicle
registration document).Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in
the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In any case, the top speed must not
exceed 100 km/h.
You are advised to fit a suitable
stabiliser to the trailer drawbar.
In the vehicles equipped with parking
sensors, after fitting the tow hook
malfunctioning warnings may be
displayed, as some parts (tow bar, ball
tow hook) may be within the sensor
detection range. In this case the
detection range must be adjusted or
the parking assistance function must be
deactivated.
140) 141)
INSTALLING THE TOW
HOOK
The towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or
integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current
regulations with reference to Directive
94/20/EC and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must match the towable weight of the
vehicle on which it is to be installed.
190
STARTING AND DRIVING

For the electric connection a standard
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device,
and a special ECU for external trailer
light control must be installed on the
vehicle. For the electrical connection, 7
or 13 pin 12 V DC connections are to
be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow the instructions
provided by the vehicle manufacturer
and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.
An electric brake (or electric winch)
should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a cross
section of no less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brakes or other
devices must be used with engine
running.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the vehicle's electric system can only
be connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light, though not above 15
W. For connections use the preset
control unit with battery cable no less
than 2.5 mm
2.IMPORTANT The trailer tow hook
contributes to the length of the vehicle.
When installing on long wheelbase
versions, it is only possible to install
removable tow hooks because the total
vehicle length limit of 6 metres is
exceeded.
If no trailer is fitted, the hook must be
removed from the attachment base and
it must not exceed the vehicle's
original length.
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.Installation diagram for
Van versions fig. 174
The tow hook structure must be
fastened in the points shown by the
symbol Ø using a total of 6 M10x1.25
screws and 4 M12 screws.
The internal back plates must be at
least 5 mm thick. MAX LOAD ON
BALL: 100/120 kg according to the
payload (see “Weights” table in the
“Technical data” section).
142)
To install a tow hook, the bumpers
must be trimmed as described in the
supplier's installation kit.

IN AN EMERGENCY

188) Do not travel with the
windscreen washer reservoir
empty: the windscreen washer is
essential for improving visibility.
189) Some commercial windscreen
washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains
hot parts which could start a fire
on contact.
190) Do not release the cap from
the extension without previously
extracting the system using the
ring.
191) Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event of
accidental contact, immediately
wash the affected parts with
water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor
immediately if swallowed.
192) The
symbol on the container
indicates a synthetic brake fluid,
which is different from a mineral
fluid. Using a mineral fluid will
damage the special rubber seals
of the braking system beyond
repair.
193) Prevent power steering fluid
from coming into contact with
hot engine parts: it is flammable.
IMPORTANT
3) Power steering fluid consumption
is extremely low; if another top-up
is required after only a short
period of time, have the system
checked for leaks at a Fiat
Dealership.
AIR CLEANER/
POLLEN FILTER
Have the air cleaner replaced by a Fiat
Dealership.
AIR CLEANER – DUSTY
ROADS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The air cleaner for dusty areas is
equipped with a visual filter block
indication device A fig. 247. Check the
reading of the blockage sensor at
intervals (Refer to the "Service
Schedule" in the "Maintenance and
care" section).
