ESP SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESP system is automatically activat-
ed when the car is started and cannot be
de-activated.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is
automatically disconnected, the warning
light
á, comes on with fixed light on the
instrument panel, together with the mes-
sage on the multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”) and
with the button led ASR OFF. In this case
contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as pos-
sible.
Performance of the ESP 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 and traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.
WARNING
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the ESP
system and it is provided to facilitate start-
ing on slopes.
It will activate automatically with the fol-
lowing conditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with
a gradient of more than 5%, engine run-
ning, brake pressed and gearbox in neu-
tral or gear other than reverse engaged;
❒downhill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient of more than 5%, engine
running, brake pressed and reverse gear
engaged.
At pickup the ESP system control unit will
keep brake force on wheels until reaching
the torque suitable for starting, or in any
case for max. 2 seconds in order to pass
easily from the brake pedal to the accel-
erator pedal.
After two seconds without starting, the
system will deactivate automatically by re-
leasing gradually the brake force.
At releasing, the typical brake disengage-
ment noise indicating that the car is go-
ing to move will be heard.FAILURE INDICATIONS
System failure is indicated by the turning
on of warning light *on the instrument
panel with digital display and warning light
áon the instrument panel with multi-
function display (for versions/markets,
where provided) (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
IMPORANT The Hill Holder system is not
a parking brake therefore, never leave the
car without having engaged the handbrake,
turned the engine off and engaged the first
speed.
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.

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).

The performance of the sys-

the road surface, visibility an traffic.

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.

IN AN
EMERGENCY
IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
Cargo versions
The vehicle is supplied with a regular size
spare wheel. Alternatively, the vehicle may
be equipped with a “Fix&Go fast tyre re-
pair kit” (see instructions in next section).
Combi versions
The vehicle is supplied with a “Fix&Go fast
tyre repair kit” (see instructions in next
section). As an alternative to the Fix&Go
kit, the vehicle may be equipped with a
regular size spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack
and spare wheel call for some precautions
as listed below.
The spare wheel (for ver-
sions/markets, where provid-
ed) is specific for your vehicle. There-
fore, it must not be used on vehicles
of a different model. Do not use spare
wheels of different models on your ve-
hicle. The spare wheel must only be
used in an emergency. Use it as short-
ly as possible.
WARNING
Indicate that the vehicle is
stationary according to the
laws in force: emergency lights, re-
fracting warning triangle, etc. Pas-
sengers should leave the vehicle, par-
ticularly if it is very loaded, and wait
for the wheel to be changed away
from on-coming traffic. In case of
steep slopes or rough slopes, place
wedges or other materials suitable to
stop the vehicle under the wheels. Re-
pair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease
to the bolt threading before assem-
bly: the bolts could come loose un-
expectedly.
WARNING
Use the jack only to replace
wheels on the vehicle with
which it is supplied or on other vehi-
cles of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lift-
ing other vehicle models. Never use the
jack to carry out repairs under the ve-
hicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the lifted vehicle to fall. Do
not use the jack for loads higher than
those shown on the label.
WARNING
Incorrect wheel cap assem-
bly may cause it to come off
when the vehicle is travelling. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Nev-
er introduce tools of any kind be-
tween rim and tyre. Regularly check
the pressure of the tyres and small
spare wheel referring to the values
shown in the “Technical Specifica-
tions” section.
