HILL DESCENT
CONTROL (HDC)
SYSTEM
It is an integral part of the ESC and
is aimed at keeping the vehicle at
a constant speed during a descent,
operating autonomously on the
brakes in various ways at the same
time. In this way the vehicle stability
and completely safe driving are
guaranteed, above all in poor grip
conditions and/or steep descents.
To activate the system reach a
speed slower than 25 km/h and
press the dedicated key A fig. 126;
the LED on the button turns on
and the display gives a specific
message.After reaching the desired speed,
release the accelerator and brake
pedals completely (the LED on
the button flashes). If you want to
increase/decrease the speed, press
the accelerator/brake pedals
again.
IMPORTANT Do not use the device
with the gearbox in neutral position.
IMPORTANT It is important to
engage a gear suitable for the set
speed, to prevent the engine from
stalling.
When this function is active the
brake lights turn on automatically.
While the HDC system is operating
it is also possible to take control
of the vehicle again by pressing the
brake and accelerator pedals.
If the function is not made available
when the button is pressed, this
could be due to brake overheating.
In this case, wait a few minutes
before using the function again.
IMPORTANT The system is
available for speeds below 25
km/h.IMPORTANT Above 25 km/h the
HDC system deactivates but is still
ready to operate (the LED on the
button remains on) when the speed
is again below 25 km/h. If the
speed exceeds 50 km/h, the HDC
system deactivates completely
(the LED on the button switches off)
and the function does not operate
autonomously on the brakes
anymore. To reactivate it, press the
dedicated button again when the
speed is again below 25 km/h.

WARNING
58) The ESC system can’t overrule
the natural laws of physics, and
can’t increase the grip available
according to the condition of
the road.
59) The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners,
driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.

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
The system is always active when
the vehicle is started. It can be
deactivated or re-activated by
pressing button A fig. 128 on the
dashboard (see following
description).
The LED on the button switches on
to confirm that the system has
been activated and a dedicated
message appears on the display.
When the system is activated,
the LED on the dedicated button is
off. If the user deactivates the
system, the LED on the button
switches on constantly and a
dedicated message appears on the
display to confirm that the system
has been switched off.The system is enabled at every key
cycle of the vehicle and starts
recognition of the operating
conditions (condition signalled to
the driver when the 2 direction
warning lights
andon the
instrument panel light up).
When the system recognises the
operating conditions, it becomes
active, i.e. it can assist the driver
with visual and acoustic warnings.
Therefore the two direction warning
lights
andon the instrument
panel switch off to prevent
excessively frequent warnings while
driving in towns or on winding
roads at low speeds.
IMPORTANT If the operating
conditions are no longer present,
the system remains activated
but inactive. Therefore the driver is
warned by the 2 direction warning
lights
andon the instrument
panel switching on constantly.

WARNING
82) If the camera loses its position
due to a load variation, the system
may not work temporarily to allow
the camera to perform an
autocalibration.
83) The system only detects the
preset traffic signs. If the
minimum visibility conditions and
distance from the sign are met
it can detect all traffic signs.
84) The system is a driving
assistance system but it does not
relieve the driver of the
responsibility of driving with due
attention and diligence in
compliance with the laws in force.
85) When the system is active, the
driver is responsible for
controlling the vehicle and
monitoring the system, and must
intervene as appropriate if
necessary.
IMPORTANT
10) If the sensor is blocked, the
system may not work.
11) In the case of low temperatures
or harsh weather conditions, the
system may not work.
12) Rain, snow, splashes and strong
light contrast may influence the
sensor.
13) Do not repair the area of the
windscreen directly surrounding
the sensor.
14) If the vehicle is equipped with a
non-genuine suspension kit, the
system may not work correctly.
15) Always use genuine spare parts
when replacing the bulbs of the
headlights. Other bulbs may
reduce the system performance.
16) Clean the windscreen from
foreign matters such as bird
droppings, insects, snow or ice.
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On
Board Diagnosis) allows continuous
diagnosis of emission-related
components on the vehicle to be
made.
It also alerts the driver, by turning
on the
warning light in the
instrument panel (together with
relevant message in the
multifunction display, for versions/
markets where provided) when
these components are no longer in
peak condition (see “Warning
lights and messages” paragraph).
The aim of the system is to:
❒monitor system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions due
to vehicle malfunction;
❒indicate the need to replace
components which have
deteriorated.

PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for
reducing diesel fuel engine
emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(EGR);
❒particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/
markets, where provided).
93)
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER (DPF)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a
mechanical filter, integral to the
exhaust system, that physically
traps carbon particles present in
the exhaust gases of diesel
engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate almost all
particulates in compliance with
current / future legal regulations.During normal use of the vehicle,
the Powertrain Control Module
records a set of data (travel time,
type of route, temperatures
reached etc.) and calculates how
much particulate has been trapped
by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps
particulate, it should be
regenerated (cleaned) at regular
intervals by burning carbon
particles.
The regeneration procedure is
controlled automatically by the
Powertrain Control Module
according to the filter conditions
and vehicle usage conditions.
During regeneration, the following
may occur: a limited increase in the
engine speed, activation of the
fan, a limited increase in fumes and
high temperatures at the exhaust.
These are not faults; they do not
impair vehicle performance or
damage the environment. If the
dedicated message is displayed,
refer to paragraph "Warning lights
and messages".
WARNING
93) The diesel particulate filter (DPF)
reaches high temperatures during
normal operation. Do not park
the vehicle on flammable material
(grass, dry leaves, pine needles
etc.): fire hazard.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
GAUGE
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The gauge provides a graphic
indication of the level of oil in the
engine.
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, the display fig. 146 -
fig. 147 shows the oil level by
lighting up / switching off five
symbols.
The gradual switching off of the
symbols indicates a decreasing oil
level.Four or five symbols light up to
indicate a sufficient level of oil in the
sump. If the fifth symbol is not lit,
this does not indicate a fault or that
insufficient oil is present in the
sump.
If the oil level is lower than the
minimum required value, the display
shows a dedicated message
indicating minimum engine oil level
and the need for a top-up.
IMPORTANT To find out the correct
oil quantity, always check using
the dipstick (see paragraph
“Checking levels” in the section
“Maintenance and care”).After a few seconds, the symbol
display indicating the amount
of engine oil disappears and:
❒When the next scheduled servicing
intervention is approaching, the
time to the next service is displayed
and the õ symbol lights up on the
display. When the service date is
reached, the display shows a
dedicated message;
❒Later on, if the time for changing the
engine oil is getting close, the
distance until the next oil change will
appear on the display. When the
service interval has expired a
dedicated warning will be shown on
the display.
IMPORTANT
20) If the needle for the engine
coolant temperature reaches the
red area, stop the engine
immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
