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.

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.
