MSR system (engine braking
torque control)
It is an integral part of the ASR system that
in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in pro-
viding torque to the engine thus prevent-
ing excessive driving wheel drive that, spe-
cially in poor grip conditions, can lead to
loss of stability.
Switching systemon/off
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
When travelling, the ASR can be switched
off and on again pressing button A-
fig. 101set on the dashboard. When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led on the
button and by relevant message on the
multifunction display, for versions/mar-
kets, where provided.
If the ASR is switched off when travelling,
it will turn on again automatically the next
time the engine is started.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the
ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slip-
ping of the driving wheels when moving off
makes it possible to obtain better drive.
For correct operation of the
ESP and ASR systems, the
tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in per-
fect conditions and, above all, of
type, brand and size specified.
WARNING

ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)
The ASR function controls car drive and
cuts in automatically every time one or
both driving wheels slip.
According to slipping conditions, two dif-
ferent control systems are activated:
❒if slipping involves both driving wheels,
the ASR function intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping involves only one driving
wheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-
matically braking the wheel that is slip-
ping.
The action of the ASR is particularly help-
ful in the following circumstances:
❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or ex-
cessive acceleration;
❒ too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the conditions
of the road surface;
❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces;
❒ in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-
face (aquaplaning).

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.

SPEED BLOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle is available with a speed re-
striction function that can be set, by the
user, at one of 4 pre-set levels: 90, 100,
110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function, go to
a Fiat Dealership.
After the operation a label (fig. 103) will
be stuck on the windscreen containing the
maximum set speed.
WARNING The speedometer may show
a top speed that is higher than the actual
one set by the Dealership as provided for
by legislation.
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of
emission-related components of the vehi-
cle. It also alerts the driver, by switching
on of the warning light Uon the instru-
ment panel (together with relevant mes-
sage on the display in some versions)
when these components are no longer in
peak conditions (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
The objective of this system is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒to warn about increased emissions due
to a vehicle malfunction;
❒to warn of the need to replace deteri-
orated components.
The system also has a diagnostic connector
that can be interfaced with appropriate
tools, which makes it possible to read the
error codes stored in the control unit to-
gether with a series of specific parameters
for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.IMPORTANT After eliminating the prob-
lem, to check the system completely, Fi-
at Dealerships are obliged to run a bench
test and, if necessary, road tests which
may also call for a long journey.
Go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible if warning
light Udoes not light up when the
key is turned to MAR or if, during
travel, the warning light comes on ei-
ther steady or blinking (along with a
message on the display). The opera-
tion of the warning light Umay be
checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are
driving.

PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 104and their function is to in-
form the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle comes
closer to the bumper, the buzzer becomes
more frequent.BUZZER WARNING
When reverse gear is engaged, an inter-
mittent buzzer automatically turns on (a
short beep to indicate the activation of the
system).
The beep:
❒becomes louder as the vehicle goes
closer to the obstacle;
❒becomes continuous when the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is
inferior to 30 cm and stops immediately
if the distance increases;
❒is constant if the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle does not
change.Detection distances
Central operating range 120 cm
Side operating range 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the parking sensors is indi-
cated when engaging reverse gear by a
beep lasting 3 seconds.
fig. 104F0T0155m
The sensors must be clean
from mud, dirt, snow or ice in
order to work correctly. Be
careful not to scratch or dam-
age the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths.
Wash the sensors with clean water with
the addition of car shampoo, if neces-
sary. In washing stations, clean sensors
quickly keeping the vapour jet/high
pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at
least from the sensors.

OPERATION
WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is automatically
disabled when the electric cable plug of the
trailer is fitted into the vehicle tow hook
socket.
Sensors are automatically enabled again
when removing the trailer cable plug.GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care to
obstacles that may be set above or un-
der the sensors.
❒Objects located near the vehicle back,
under certain circumstances, are not
detected and could therefore cause
damage to the vehicle or become dam-
aged.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasound sys-
tems (e.g. truck pneumatic brakes or
pneumatic hammers) near the vehicle.
❒For correct parking sensor operation
the swing-doors must be closed. Open
swing-doors may produce incorrect in-
dications by the system. The rear doors
must always be closed.
The driver is fully responsible
for parking operations and
other dangerous manoeuvres. Make
sure that no-one is standing in the
area, especially children or animals.
Parking sensors are designed to assist
drivers, who must always pay the ut-
most attention during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres even if they
are performed at low speed.

ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC
DEVICES INSTALLATION
Electrical and electronic devices installed
after buying the vehicle by after-market
service must carry the following label:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorises the installation
of transceiving devices provided that they
are installed by a specialised centre ac-
cording to rules of good engineering prac-
tice in compliance with the manufacturer’s
indications.
IMPORTANT Traffic police may not allow
the vehicle on the road if devices are in-
stalled which imply modifications of the
vehicle features. This may also cause the
warranty to become null and void in re-
lation to faults caused by the change or re-
lated to the change either directly or in-
directly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. shall not be liable for dam-
age caused by the installation of acces-
sories either not supplied or recom-
mended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and/or not in-
stalled in compliance with the provided in-
structions.RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (vehicle mo-
bile phones, CB radios, amateur radio and
similar equipment) shall not be used inside
the vehicle unless a separate aerial is
mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices
inside the passenger compartment (with-
out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-
quency electromagnetic fields which, am-
plified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause mal-
functioning of the electrical systems in-
stalled on the vehicle. This could com-
promise safety in addition to constituting
a potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the vehicle body.
As concerns officially EC-approved mobile
phones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly com-
ply with the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the mobile phone.
VEHICLE REFUELLING
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only with octane
number (R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-
tributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalyst beyond
repair.

DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin clots with consequent anomalous
operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different
types of diesel are distributed according to
the season: summer type, winter type and
arctic type (cold, mountain areas). If refu-
elling with diesel fuel whose features are not
suitable to the temperature of use, it is ad-
visable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART addi-
tive in the proportions shown on the con-
tainer with the fuel. Pour the additive in-
to the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold areas,
it is advisable to refuel using locally avail-
able fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the
tank over 50% full.For diesel engines, use diesel
fuel for motor vehicles com-
pliant with EN590 European
specifications only. The use of
other products or mixtures may dam-
age the engine beyond repair and con-
sequently cause lapse of warranty in
relation to the damage caused. If you
accidentally introduce other types of
fuel in the tank, do not start the engine
and empty the tank. If the engine has
run also for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel feed sys-
tem emptied in addition to the tank.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the pump switches off. Further top-
ups could cause faults in the fuel feeding
system.FUEL TANK PLUG fig. 106

ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
The devices for curtailing petrol engine
emissions are the following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒fuel evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions are the following:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided). Do not place free flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel
filler: this may pose a risk of
fire. Keep your face away
from the fuel filler to prevent breath-
ing in harmful vapours.
DIESEL PARTICULATE
FILTER DPF
(Diesel Particulate Filter)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-
ical filter integral with the exhaust system
that physically traps carbon particles pre-
sent in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter has been
adopted to eliminate particulates almost
totally in compliance with current / future
law regulations. During normal use of the
vehicle, the engine control unit records a
set of data (e.g.: travel time, type of route,
temperatures, etc.) and it will then calcu-
late the amount of particles trapped by the
filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulates,
it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular
intervals by burning carbon particles. The
regeneration procedure is controlled au-
tomatically by the engine control unit ac-
cording to the filter conditions and the
conditions of use of the vehicle.
During the regeneration procedure, the
following situations may occur: limited in-
crease of idle speed, activation of electric
fan, limited increase of smoke, high tem-
peratures at the exhaust. These events
must not be considered as a malfunction-
ing: they do not impair vehicle behaviour
and the environment. If the dedicated
message is displayed, refer to section
“Warning lights and messages”. Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn
it clockwise until it clicks once or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it,
then close the flap.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight in-
crease in pressure in the tank. A suction
noise when you release the cap is there-
fore entirely normal.
