DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS
ABS SYSTEM
The vehicle is fitted with an ABS braking
system, which prevents the wheels from
locking when braking, makes the most of
road grip and gives the best control when
emergency braking under difficult road
conditions.
The system is completed by EBD (Elec-
tronic Braking Force Distribution), which
distributes the braking action between
front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To achieve maximum effi-
ciency of the braking system, a running-
in period of about 500 km is required.
During this time, avoid sudden, repeated
and prolonged braking.FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>on the instrument pan-
el (together with the dedicated message
on the display in some versions) (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
In the case, the braking system preserves
its efficiency, but cannot rely on the ex-
tra potentials offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership to have the system checked. ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by a
slight pulsing of the brake pedal accompa-
nied by noise: such an event indicates that
you need to adjust your speed to the type
of road on which you are travelling.
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 depending on the current
road conditions.
WARNING
When the ABS trips, it means
that you are approaching
the grip limit between tyres and road:
slow down to exploit all the available
grip.
WARNING
The ABS system exploits the
tyre-road grip at best, but it
cannot improve it. Therefore, you
should take great care when driving
on slippery surfaces without taking
unnecessary risks.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS
If warning light xonly lights
up on the instrument panel
(with a message on the display in
some versions), immediately stop the
vehicle and go to the nearest Fiat
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic flu-
id from the braking system jeopardis-
es the functionality of the braking sys-
tem, either of the conventional type
or with ABS.
WARNING
EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>and xon the instru-
ment panel (together with the dedicated
message on the display in some versions)
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-
ly lock and the vehicle may swerve. Dri-
ve carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance
integral with ESP)
(for versions/markets, 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 thus supporting the driver to
obtain prompt and effective braking.
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, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the car 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,(for versions/markets,
where provided) also the MSR system (ad-
justing the engine braking torque) and the
HBA system (improving the braking force
during emergency braking) are provided.
ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-
ing light
áon the instrument panel, to in-
form the driver that the car is in critical
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.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS
The performance of the sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility an traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.
WARNING
For correct operation of the ASR system,
the tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in perfect
conditions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of malfunctioning, the ASR
system is automatically disconnected and
the warning light
áwill come with fixed
light on the instrument panel together
with the message on the multifunction dis-
play, for versions/markets, where provid-
ed, (see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”). In this case contact Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible.
TRACTION PLUS
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Traction Plus is a help with driving and set-
ting off in poor grip conditions (snow, ice,
mud, etc.) which allows the drive force to
be evenly distributed over the same axle
when both wheels are slipping.
In effect, Traction Plus acts by braking the
wheels with poor grip (or those slipping
more than the others), thereby transfer-
ring the drive force to those which have
more grip on the ground.
This function can be turned on manually
by pressing the T+ button located in the
dashboard (fig. 102) and operates
below a threshold of 30 km/h. When this
speed is exceeded, it is automatically de-
activated (the LED in the button remains
on) and it is reactivated as soon as the
speed goes below the level of 30 km/h.Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when starting
up. To activate the Traction Plus system,
press the T+ button (fig. 102): the LED
in the button will come on.
The activation of the Traction Plus system
involves the following functions being swit-
ched on:
❒inhibition of the ASR function, in order
to fully exploit the engine torque;
❒differential lock effect on the front ax-
le, via the braking system, to improve
drive on uneven surfaces.
If this is a problem with the Traction Plus
system the warning light
áin the instru-
ment panel will come on constantly.
