ESPSYSTEM(Electronic
StabilityProgram)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronic system that controls
car stability in the event of tyre grip loss,
helping to maintain directional control.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when road surface grip changes.
In addition to the ESP system, ASR system
and Hill Holder, the MSR system (adjusting
the engine braking torque) and the HBA
system (improving the braking force dur-
ing emergency braking) are also provided
(for versions/markets, where provided).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of 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 the pedal pushed down; in do-
ingsoyou,willstopintheshortest
distance possible under the road con-
ditions at the time.
WARNINGEBD failure
This is indicated by the
>andxwarn-
ing lights on the instrument panel togeth-
er with the dedicated message on the mul-
tifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided) coming on (see “Warn-
ing lights and messages” section).
In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-
ly lock and the vehicle may swerve when
braking sharply. Drive carefully to the
nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
If only thexwarning light
on the instrument panel
lights up (together with a message in
the multifunction display, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) stop
the vehicle immediately and contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid
leaking from the hydraulic system will
compromise the operation of the
braking system, whether it is of the
conventional type or with ABS.

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 a failure, the ESP will be au-
tomatically switched off and the
áwarn-
ing light will come on permanently on the
instrument panel along with a message on
the multifunction display (for versions/
markets, where provided) (see “Warning
lights and messages” section). The LED on
the ASR OFF button will also light up.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as pos-
sible if this happens.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE ASSIST
(integrated ESP emergency
braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system (which is compulsory) recog-
nises emergency braking according to the
speed of operation of the brake pedal and
provides additional hydraulic braking pres-
sure to support that applied by the driver.
This allows faster and more powerful op-
eration of the braking system.
The Hydraulic Brake Assist is deactivat-
ed on versions equipped with ESP, in the
event of an ESP system failure (indicated
by warning light
áswitching on together
with the message in the multifunctional
display, for versions/markets, where pro-
vided).
Do not take unnecessary
risks, even if your vehicle is
fitted with an ESP system. Your dri-
ving style must always be suited to the
road conditions, visibility and traffic.
The driver is always ultimately re-
sponsible for road safety.
WARNING
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the ESP system,
making hill-starts easier.
It is automatically activated in the follow-
ing conditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with
a gradient higher than 5%, engine run-
ning, 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 re-
verse gear engaged.
At pick-up, the ESP system control unit
will maintain the braking pressure at the
wheels until the necessary engine torque
for moving away is reached or, in any case,
for a maximum of 2 seconds in order to
move easily from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.If the vehicle has not departed after this
time, the system will deactivate automat-
ically by gradually releasing the brake
force.
At release, 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”).
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 se-
lected first gear.
For the correct operation of
the ESP and ASR systems,
the tyres must be the same make and
type on all wheels, in perfect condi-
tion and, above all, of the type, make
and size recommended.

MSR system
(engine braking regulation)
This is an integral part of the ASR system
that, in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts
in to provide torque to the engine, thus
preventing excessive driving wheel drag
that, especially in poor grip conditions, can
lead to loss of stability.
Switching the systemon/off fig. 97
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
When travelling, the ASR can be switched
off and on again by pressing buttonAlo-
cated on the dashboardfig. 97.If the system is off, the LED on the button
lights up together with a message shown
on the multifunction display (for versions/
markets, 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, the
driving wheels skidding when moving off
makes it possible to get better traction.
For the correct operation of
the ESP and ASR systems,
the tyres must be the same make and
type on all wheels, in perfect condi-
tion and, above all, of the type, make
and size recommended.

ASR SYSTEM (Anti-slip Regulator)
This function controls car drive and cuts
in automatically every time one or both
driving wheels skid.
Depending on how skiddy the road is,
two different control systems are acti-
vated:
❒if the skidding involves both drive
wheels, the ASR function intervenes
by reducing the power transmitted by
the engine;
❒if the skidding involves only one dri-
ving wheel, the ASR system cuts in by
automatically braking the wheel that
is sliding.
The ASR system is particularly helpful in
the following circumstances:
❒skidding of the inner wheel when cor-
nering due to the effect of dynamic
load changes or excessive acceleration;
❒too much power transmitted to the
wheels in relation to the conditions of
the road surface;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or
icy surfaces;
❒loss of grip on a wet surface (aqua-
planing).

CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-
ups will prevent the engine from reach-
ing optimal running temperature. Conse-
quently, both fuel consumption (from +15
to +30% on the urban cycle) and emis-
sions will increase.
Traffic and road
conditions
Heavy traffic, for instance when travelling
in a queue with frequent use of low gears
or in cities with lots of traffic lights, caus-
es fairly high fuel consumption. Mountain
roads and uneven surfaces also have a neg-
ative effect on consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. at level
crossings) the engine should be switched
off.TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
The car must be equipped with an ap-
proved tow hook and adequate electrical
system to tow caravans or trailers. Instal-
lation must be performed by specialised
personnel who will issue the required pa-
pers for travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional rear
view mirrors in accordance with the high-
way code of the country in which you are
travelling.
Remember that, when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking dis-
tances increase and overtaking takes
longer relative to the overall weight of the
trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the car’s tow
hook will reduce the load capacity of the
car by the same amount. Consider the
weight of the trailer fully laden, including
accessories and luggage, to make sure you
do not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown on the vehicle registration
document). Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases
as speed increases. Keep your speed as
even as possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cause ex-
cessive fuel consumption and increased
emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects con-
sumption and emissions: acceleration
should be gradual and should not exceed
the maximum torque.
