ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Le système ESP comprend:
❒Le système EBD (Electronic Braking
force Distribution) qui permet de ré-
partir le freinage entre les roues avant
et arrière.
❒ABS (Antiblocking System), système an-
tiblocage des roues en freinage;
❒ASR (Active Spin Regulation), qui per-
met de contrôler le patinage des roues
motrices en intervenant sur les freins
et sur le couple moteur;
❒MSR (Motor Schleppmomenten
Regelung - Regulation of engine braking
torque), which intervenes in the event
of a sudden change of gear whilst down-
shifting (preventing the wheels from
locking during deceleration when the
accelerator is released), restoring
torque to the engine, thereby avoiding
excessive drag of the driving wheels
which can lead to a loss of vehicle sta-
bility and control, particularly in poor
grip conditions;
❒HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist), système
qui rend plus efficace un éventuel
freinage d’urgence ;
❒HH (Hill Holder) which, if the brake
pedal is pressed, on a gradient (uphill or
downhill), keeps the vehicle braked for
the time required to set off while the
foot moves from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
For more details on the operation of the
above functions, refer to the Owner
Handbook under the ESP System section.
Compared with the version with two dri-
ve wheels, the ESP system includes the
ELD function (Electronic Locking Differ-
ential) which improves drive.ABS SYSTEM
This version is provided as standard with
the ABS system and includes:
❒EBD (Electronic Braking Force Distrib-
ution), that distributes the braking ef-
fect between front and rear wheels;
❒MSR (Motor Schleppmomenten
Regelung - Regulation of engine braking
torque), which intervenes in the event
of a sudden change of gear whilst down-
shifting (preventing the wheels from
locking during deceleration when the
accelerator is released), restoring
torque to the engine, thereby avoiding
excessive drag of the driving wheels
which can lead to a loss of vehicle sta-
bility and control, particularly in poor
grip conditions.

❒signalling with light on constantly: this
indicates that there is a problem with
the 4 x 4 drive; go to a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible (where provided,
the display will show a dedicated mes-
sage). In addition, on versions with ESP,
if the ELD is on, the LED in the button
will go out.HEADLIGHT WASHER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The headlight washing system consists of
two nozzles for washing the external
headlight lens. This function can be acti-
vated using the windscreen washer stalk
only if dipped beams or main beams are
on. Operating the stalk to wash the wind-
screen will automatically start the head-
light washer.
This version features a windscreen wash-
er fluid reservoir with improved capaci-
ty, i.e.: 4.5 litres.
IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
General instructions
The vehicle may come (for versions/mar-
kets where provided) with either a space-
saver wheel or Fix & Go quick tyre repair
kit.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack
and space-saver spare wheel call for some
precautions as listed in the Owner Hand-
book this Supplement is attached to. In the
Owner Handbook you will also find how
to use the Fix & Go kit (quick tyre repair
kit).
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground should be flat and adequately
firm;
❒turn the engine off and pull up the hand-
brake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;

❒loosen the clamping device B-fig. 5;
❒take the space-saver spare wheel A;
❒loosen the bolts on the wheel to be
replaced with the wrench provided A-
fig. 6;
❒turn the jack handle to open it partly;
❒place the jack near the wheel to be

❒warn anyone nearby that the car is
about to be raised; they should stay
well clear and they should be warned
not to touch the car until it is back on
the ground;
❒fit handle H-fig. 7to the jack device I
and raise the car until the wheel is a few
inches off the ground. When turning the
jack handle make sure that it can be used
easily and take care not to scrape your
hand against the ground. The moving
parts of the jack (screws and joints) may
also cause injury if touched. Clean off any
grease;

❒make sure the space-saver spare wheel
supporting surfaces on the hub are
clean and free from any impurities that

❒turn the jack handle to lower the car
and remove the jack;
❒fasten the bolts completely, working in
a criss-cross fashion as shown in fig. 10.
After changing the wheel
❒put the jack partly open and the tools
used into the tool bag;
❒stow the bag with tools into its place
under the driver’s seat.
IMPORTANT Replaced wheel shall be
placed in the boot under the cover mat as
shown in fig. 11.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes
with tubeless tyres. Check tyre and space-
saver spare wheel pressure regularly.IMPORTANT Changing original wheels
with others of different type (i.e.: with al-
loy rim instead of steel rims and vice ver-
sa) will involve to change the whole set
of wheel bolts with others of suitable
length. It is however recommended to
keep replaced bolts in the event of future
refitting of the original wheels.

WASHING THE CAR
After using the car off-road (wheels, body,
underengine and underbody protections
very dirty), remember to wash it and to
clean accurately radiators (engine and air-
conditioner), radiator fan and wheels (rims
and wheelhouses), underengine and un-
derbody protections to preserve their
regular operation and to guarantee prop-
er ventilation of brake discs, perfect wheel
geometry and regular operation of the
propeller shaft.
TOWING THE CAR
The car can only be towed in one of the
following ways (always and exclusively
with the engine off, gearbox in neutral and
handbrake disengaged):
– with the 4 wheels on the roadbed;
– with front wheels raised or resting on
the wrecking car floor and rear wheels
resting on a suitable truck;
– with rear wheels raised or resting on the
wrecking car floor and front wheels rest-
ing on a suitable truck;
– on wrecking car, with front and rear
wheels resting on the wrecking car floor.
TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT If the car is used at its max.
towing capacity on sloping road, change
engine oil every 10,000 km.
As concerns tow hook installation in-
structions and warnings refer to the at-
tached Owner Handbook.
