HEADLIGHTS
BEAM DIRECTION
Correction direction of the headlights is
essentially for the comfort and safety of
the driver and the other road users. The
headlights must be correctly directed to
ensure the best visibility conditions when
the headlights are on. Contact Fiat Deal-
ership to have the headlights properly ad-
justed.
HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device works with the key at MAR
and the dipped beam headlights on. The
car will slant backwards when it is loaded,
raising the light beam. The beams must
therefore be directed again in this case.Aiming the headlights fig. 96

BRAKE ASSIST
(integrated ESP emergency
braking assistance)
(where provided)
This system (which cannot be deactivat-
ed) recognises emergency braking condi-
tions according to the speed of operation
of the brake pedal and provides an addi-
tional hydraulic braking pressure to sup-
port that provided by the driver. This al-
lows faster and more power operation of
the braking system.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions
equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP sys-
tem failure (indicated by warning light
áswitching on together with the message
on the multifunctional display, where pro-
vided).
ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the car stability in the event of
tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road sur-
faces changes.
In addition to the ESP system, ASR system
and Hill Holder, (where provided) also the
MSR system (adjusting the engine braking
torque) and the HBA system (improving
the braking force during emergency brak-
ing) are provided.
ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-
ing light
áon the instrument panel, to
inform the driver that the car is in criti-
cal stability and grip conditions.When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.
WARNING
EBD failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
warning lights
>and xon the instru-
ment panel together with the dedicated
message on the multifunctional display
(where provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-
ly lock and the car may swerve. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked.
If warning light xonly lights
up on the instrument panel
(with a message on the multifunc-
tional display, where provided), stop
the car immediate and go to the
nearest Fiat Dealership. Leakage of
hydraulic fluid from the braking sys-
tem will compromise functionality of
the braking system, either of the con-
ventional type or with ABS.

AND CONTROLS
Do not take unnecessary
risks, even if your cars fits
such a system. Your driving style must
always be suited to the conditions of
the road, visibility and traffic. The dri-
ver is always and only responsible for
road safety.
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 a failure, the In ASR will be
automatically switched off and warning
light
áwill appear on the instrument
panel along with a message on the multi-
functional display (where provided) (see
“Warning lights and messages”). In this
case, contact Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
EOBD SYSTEM
(where provided)
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of
the components of the car correlated with
emissions.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
warning light
Uon the instrument pan-
el (together with relevant message on the
multifunctional display, where provided)
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”), when these conditions are no
longer in peak conditions.
The objective is:
❒to monitor system efficiency;
❒warn when a fault causes emissions lev-
els to increase;
❒to warn of the need to replace deteri-
orated components.
The system also has a diagnostic connec-
tor that can be interfaced with appropri-
ate tools, which makes it possible to read
the error codes stored in the control unit,
together with a series of specific parame-
ters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.IMPORTANT After eliminating the in-
convenience, to check the system com-
pletely, Fiat 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 Ueither does not light
up when the key is turned to
MAR to if while travelling the warning
lights comes on either steady or blink-
ing (along with a message on the mul-
tifunctional display, where provided).
The operation of warning light Umay
be checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are dri-
ving.

PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 98and their function is to in-
form the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.
As the distance from the obstacle behind
the car decreases, the acoustic alarm be-
comes more frequent. BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the reduction of dis-
tance between the car and the obstacle
decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance
between the car and the obstacle is less
that 30 cm and stops immediately if the
distance increases;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation concerns the side sen-
sors, the buzzer will stop after about
3 seconds to avoid, for example, warn-
ing indications in the event of manoeu-
vres along walls.Detection distances
Central action radius 150 cm
Side action radius 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Parking sensor failures, if any, will be in-
dicated when engaging reverse by the
turning on of the instrument panel warn-
ing light
ttogether with the message on
the multifunction display, where provided
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).

of a violent collision, back
seat passengers not wearing seat belts
also represent a serious danger for
the front seat passengers.
WARNING
Make sure the backrest is
properly secured at both
sides to prevent it moves forward in
the event of sharp braking causing in-
juries to passengers.

is on. Deployment of the airbag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to
the baby regardless of the severity of
the collision. It is advisable to carry
children in an appropriate restraint
system on the rear seat which is the
most protected position in the event
of an accident.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER If you
need to carry a baby on the
front passenger seat in a
cradle restraint system fac-
ing backwards, the passen-
ger side airbags (front and
side bags, where provided) must be
deactivated using the setup menu.
Check the warning light Fon the
instrument panel. Move the passen-
ger’s seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the cradle and
the dashboard.
WARNINGOver 1.50 m in height, from the point of
view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and wear the seat
belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat includes child restraint
systems for each weight group. These de-
vices are recommended having been
specifically designed for Fiat cars.
