brake FIAT FIORINO 2017 Owner handbook (in English)

READ THIS CAREFULLY!
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol
with an octane rating (RON) of no less than
95 conforming to the European specification EN
228.
Diesel engines: only use diesel fuel for motor
vehicles conforming to the European specification
EN 590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, depending
on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is
engaged, set the gearshift lever to neutral, fully
depress the clutch without pressing the
accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV
and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Diesel engines: Turn the ignition key to MAR and
wait for the warning light
to go out. Turn
the ignition key to AVV and release as soon as
the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or
other flammable material as this constitutes a fire
hazard.RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the emission-related
components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement
and check that the electrical system of the
vehicle can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring the
vehicle stays in tip-top condition and retains its
safety features, its environmental friendliness and
low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER'S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
... important information, advise and warnings for
correct use, driving safety and maintenance of
your vehicle over time. Particular attention
should be paid to information marked with the
following symbols:
(personal safety),(environmental protection),(car integrity).

If necessary (when overtaking for instance)
acceleration is possible by simply pressing the
accelerator pedal: releasing the accelerator pedal, the
car will return to the speed memorised previously.
Restoring the stored speed
If the device has been switched off, for example by
pressing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorised
speed can be restored as follows:
accelerate gently until a speed close to that stored
one is reached;
engage the gear selected when storing the speed;
press button B fig. 53.
Increasing the stored speed
This can be done in two ways:
by pressing the accelerator and memorizing the
new speed reached;or
by moving the lever upwards (+).
Each operation of the lever will correspond to a
slight increase in speed of about 1 km/h, while
keeping the lever upwards will correspond to a
continuous speed increase.
Reducing the memorised speed
This can be done in two ways:
by switching off the device and then storing the
new speed;
or
by moving the lever downwards (-) until the new
speed, which will be automatically stored, is
reached.
Each movement of the stalk will correspond to a
reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will continuously reduce
the speed.
Switching the device off
The device can be switched off by the driver in the
following ways:
by turning the ring A to the OFF position;
by stopping the engine.
Deactivating the function
The device can be switched off by the driver in the
following ways:

ABS SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the braking system, which
prevents one or more wheels from locking or
slipping regardless of the road surface conditions and
braking intensity, giving the best control during
emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution) completes the system, allowing the
brake force to be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT For maximum efficiency of the braking
system, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is
needed: during this period it is better to avoid sharp,
repeated and prolonged braking.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has come into
action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and
the system gets noisier: it means that the vehicle
speed should be altered to suit the type of road
surface.
MECHANICAL BRAKE ASSIST (emergency
braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system, which cannot be deactivated, recognises
emergency braking conditions (according to the
brake pedal operation speed) and provides an
additional hydraulic braking pressure to support thatprovided by the driver. This allows faster and more
powerful operation of the braking system.
IMPORTANT When the Mechanical Brake Assist is
activated, noises may be heard from the system. This
is normal. In any case, while braking keep the brake
pedal firmly depressed.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not remove
your foot , but keep the pedal pushed down; in
doing so you, will stop in the shortest distance
possible under the road conditions at the time.
WARNING
If the ABS cuts in, it is a sign that the
grip between tyre and the road surface
has reached the limit : you must slow down to
match the speed to the road grip available.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but it cannot improve it ;
you should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.

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 wheel
The ESC system also includes the following systems:
Hill Holder
ASR
MSR
HBASYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the instrument panel
warning light
, to inform the driver that the car
is in critical stability and grip conditions.
Switching the system on
The ESC system is automatically activated when the
vehicle is started and cannot be deactivated.
Failure indications
In the event of a failure, the ESC system will be
automatically switched off and warning light
will
switch on constantly on the instrument panel along
with a message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where provided) (see chapter
"Warning lights and messages"). Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.

WARNING
The capability of the ESC system must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as to compromise
personal safety and the safety of others.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system is an integral part of the ESC system and
facilitates starting on slopes.
It is automatically activated in the following
conditions:
uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, brake pedal
pressed and gearbox in neutral or gear other than
reverse;
downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a
gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake
pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.
When setting off, the ESC system control unit
maintains the braking pressure on the wheels until
the torque necessary for starting is reached, or
in any case for a maximum of 2 seconds, allowing
your right foot to be moved easily from the brake
pedal to the accelerator. When two seconds have
elapsed, without starting, the system is automatically
deactivated, gradually releasing the braking pressure.
During this release stage, the typical brake
disengagement noise indicating that the vehicle is
going to move imminently will be heard.Failure indications
System failure is indicated by instrument panel
warning light
with digital display and warning light
on the instrument panel with multifunction display
(for versions/markets, where provided) (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake; therefore, never leave the vehicle without
having engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off
and engaged the first gear.
WARNING
For the ESC and ASR systems to function
correctly, all four tyres must be the
same brand and type, must be in excellent
condition and, above all, must be of the
prescribed type and size.
ASR SYSTEM (Anti-Slip Regulation)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a traction control system that cuts in
automatically every time one or both drive wheels
slip.
Depending on how slippery the road is, two different
control systems are activated:
if slipping involves both driving wheels, the ASR
function intervenes reducing the power
transmitted by the engine;

Switching off is shown by the warning lighton the
instrument panel switching on together with a
message shown in the multifunction display, for
versions/markets where provided.
If the ASR is switched off when driving, it is
automatically switched on again when the vehicle is
started up.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it
may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these
conditions, the driving wheels skidding when moving
off gives you better traction.
WARNING
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with this system.
Your driving style must always be suited to the
road conditions, visibility and traffic .The driver
is always responsible for road safety.FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ASR system will be
automatically switched off and warning light
will
appear permanently on the instrument panel along
with a message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where provided) (see “Warning
lights and messages” section). In this case, contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE ASSIST (assistance
during emergency braking)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The HBA system is an integral part of the ESC
system and is designed to improve the vehicle’s
braking capacity during emergency braking.
The system detects emergency braking by
monitoring the speed and force with which the brake
pedal is pressed, and consequently applies the
optimal brake pressure. This can reduce the braking
distance: the HBA system therefore completes
the ABS.
Maximum assistance of the HBA system is obtained
pressing the brake pedal very quickly; in addition, the
brake pedal should be pressed continuously during
braking, avoiding intermittent presses, to obtain
benefits from the system. Do not reduce pressure on
the brake pedal until braking is no longer necessary.
The HBA system is deactivated when the brake pedal
is released.

WARNING
If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
WARNING
The laser beam is not visible at the
naked eye. Do not look directly, or with
optical instruments (e.g. lenses), at the laser
beam from a distance lower than 10 cm: this
may cause damage to the sight .The laser beam
is also present when the key is at MAR but its
operation is off, not available or manually
deactivated with the display Setup Menu.
WARNING
The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. Small sized
vehicles (e.g. bicycles or motorbikes) or people,
animals and things (e.g. pushchairs) and more in
general all those obstacles with a low reflection
of the light emitted by the laser (e.g. vehicles
soiled with mud) are not taken into
consideration.
WARNING
If the car must be placed on a roller
bench (at a speed within 5 and 30 km/h)
for maintenance interventions or if it is washed
in an automatic roller washing tunnel with an
obstacle in the front part (e.g. another car, a
wall or another obstacle), the system may
detect its presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
display Setup Menu.
The laser sensor may have limited or
absent operation due to weather
conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, thick
fog, heavy snow, formation of ice layers on the
windscreen.
Sensor operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust ,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles
that are driving not aligned with your car, vehicle
driving in a transverse or opposite way on the
same lane, bend with a small radius of curvature),
by road surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure the
windscreen is always clean. Use specific
detergents and clean cloths to avoid scratching
the windscreen.The sensor operation may also be
limited or absent in some driving, traffic and
road surface conditions.

The signals sent out by the sensors can be altered
by dirt, snow or ice deposited on the sensors or
by ultrasound systems (e.g. truck pneumatic
brakes or pneumatic drills) near the vehicle.
The parking sensors work properly with the swing
doors closed. If they are open, they can cause the
system to send false signals: always close the
rear doors.
Also, do not apply stickers to the sensors.
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 interference) due to mechanical
interference, for example when washing the
vehicle, in rain (strong wind), hail.
The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g.
pneumatic brakes of trucks or pneumatic drills)
near the vehicle.
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.
WARNING
The ultimate responsibility when
parking and carrying out other
dangerous manoeuvres still rests with the
driver.When parking, make sure that no-one is
standing in the area, especially children or
animals. Parking sensors are designed to assist
drivers; however, you must always concentrate
fully during potentially dangerous manoeuvres,
even if carried out at low speeds.

START&STOP SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
INTRODUCTION
The Start&Stop device automatically stops the engine
each time the vehicle is stationary and starts it
again when the driver wants to move off. This
improves the efficiency of the vehicle by reducing fuel
consumption, the emission of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
With the vehicle stationary, the engine stops with
the gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal released.
WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
The engine cuts out if the vehicle stops with the
brake pedal pressed.
This condition can be maintained even if the brake
pedal is not depressed, if the gear lever is in position
N.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped automatically
after a speed of about 10 km/h is reached, to prevent
the engine from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
The engine being stopped is signalled by the icon
fig. 105 on the display, depending on the trim level.Engine restarting mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Press the clutch pedal to allow the engine to be
restarted.
WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
If the gear lever is in position N, place it in any other
gear, otherwise release the brake pedal or move
the gear lever to(+),(-)orR.
MANUAL ACTIVATION AND
DEACTIVATION
The device can be activated/deactivated by the
button, shown in fig. 106 on the dashboard. When
the function is not active, the button LED is on.
In addition, on some versions, additional information
concerning the deactivation or activation of the
Start&Stop system is given through a message on the
display.
