AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
Hill Start Assist (where provided)
The hill start assist makes it easy to
start off on a steep uphill slope by
preventing the vehicle from moving
backwards. It keeps the braking force
for about 2 seconds when you move
your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
69) 70)
197) 198)
To operate
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the
brake pedal.
2. On vehicles equipped with M/T,
place the gearshift lever into the 1st
position. On vehicles equipped with
A/T, place the selector lever into the “D”
position.
NOTE When reversing on an uphill
slope, place the selector lever or
gearshift lever into the “R” position.
3. Release the brake pedal and the hill
start assist will maintain the braking
force applied while stopping for
approximately 2 seconds.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal and
the hill start assist gradually will
decrease the braking force as the
vehicle starts moving.NOTE The hill start assist is activated
when all of the following conditions are
met.
The engine is running (the hill start
assist will not be activated while the
engine is starting or immediately after
the engine is started).
On vehicles equipped with M/T, the
gearshift lever is in the following
position: When starting an uphill slope
forwards > The gearshift lever is in any
position other than “R” (the hill start
assist will operate, even if the gearshift
lever is in the “N” position). When
starting an uphill slope backwards >
The gearshift lever is in the “R” position
(the hill start assist will not operate
when the gearshift lever is in the “N”
position).
On vehicles equipped with A/T, the
selector lever is in any position other
than “P” or “N”.
The vehicle is completely stationary,
with the brake pedal depressed.
The parking brake is released.
NOTE The hill start assist will not
operate if the accelerator pedal is
depressed before the brake pedal is
released.
NOTE The hill start assist also operates
when reversing on an uphill slope.NOTE When the hill start assist is
activated, you may feel the operating
sound. This is a normal result of the hill
start assist operation, and does not
indicate a problem.
Warning indicator
If an abnormal condition occurs in the
system, the indicator lamp will turn on.
ASC indicator
71) 72)
Power Steering System
The power steering system operates
while the engine is running. It helps
reduce the effort needed to turn the
steering wheel.
The power steering system has
mechanical steering capability in case
the power assist is lost. If the power
assist is lost for some reason, you will
still be able to steer your vehicle, but
you will notice it takes much more effort
to steer. If this happens, have your
vehicle inspected at a Fiat Dealership.
73) 74)
WARNING
197)When facing uphill, do not rely on
using the hill start assist to maintain a
stopped position as an alternative to
depressing the brake pedal. Doing so
could cause an accident.
