DIRECTION INDICATORS
Put the stalk in the permanent position:❒
Up (position 1): right-hand direction in-
dicator;
❒
Down (position 2): left-hand direction
indicator.
The ¥
or
Î
lights will blink on the in-
strument panel.
Indicators are switched off automatically
when the steering wheel is straightened.
Lane change function
If you wish to signal a lane change, put the
left stalk in the temporary position for less
than half a second. The direction indicator
on the side selected will be activated for
5 flashes and then go out automatically.“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This will light up the space in front of the
vehicle for a certain period of time.
Activation
With the key turned to STOPor re-
moved, pull the left-hand stalk towards the
steering wheel within 2 minutes from
when the engine is turned off.
Each time the stalk is moved, the lights
stay on for an extra 30 seconds up to
a maximum of 210 seconds; then the lights
are switched off automatically.When the stalk is moved, the light
3
on
the instrument panel will light up and the
corresponding message will appear in the
display (see “Warning lights and mes-
sages”) as long as the function is on. The
light comes on when the stalk is first
moved and stays on until the function is
automatically deactivated. Each movement
of the stalk increases only the amount of
time the lights stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.
FRONT FOG LIGHTS WITH
CORNERING LIGHTS
FUNCTION
When the dipped headlamps are on and
the speed is below 40 km/h, if the steer-
ing wheel rotation angle is large or the di-
rection indicators are on, a light (incor-
porated in the fog light) will come on on
the relevant side to improve visibility at
nightime. This function can be activat-
ed/deactivated via the display menu (see
“Display” in this section).

REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER
fig. 41This can work only when the key is turned
to MAR.
The function stops when the stalk is re-
leased.
Turning the twist switch from Oto
'
will
operate the rear window wiper as follows:
❒
intermittent operation if the wind-
screen wiper is off;
❒
synchronised operation (but with half-
stroke frequency) when the windscreen
wiper is on;
❒
continuous operation with reverse en-
gaged and function on.Do not use the rear window
wiper to remove layers of
snow or ice. In such condi-
tions, the rear window wiper
may be subjected to excessive stress,
prompting intervention from the mo-
tor protection which prevents opera-
tion for a few seconds. If operation is
not restored, even after turning the key
and restarting the engine, go to a Fiat
Dealership.
The rear window wiper will run in con-
tinuous mode when the windscreen wiper
is on and reverse gear is engaged.
Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard
(temporary position) will activate the rear
window washer jet.
Keeping the stalk pushed for more than
half a second will also activate the rear
window wiper.
Smart wash function is activated when the
stalk is released, like for the windscreen
wiper.

Courtesy light timing
On certain versions, to facilitate getting
in/out of the car at night or in poorly-lit ar-
eas, two timed modes have been provided.TIMING WHEN GETTING INTO THE CARThe courtesy lights switch on as follows:❒
for about 10 seconds when unlocking
the front doors;
❒
for about 3 minutes when opening one
of the side doors;
❒
for about 10 seconds when closing the
doors.
The timed period is interrupted when the
ignition is turned to MAR.
TIMING WHEN GETTING OUT OF THE CARAfter removing the key from the ignition,
the courtesy lights switch on as follows:❒
within 2 minutes from turning the en-
gine off for about 10 seconds;
❒
when opening one of the side doors for
about 3 minutes;
❒
when one of the doors is closed for
a period of about 10 seconds.
The timed period stops automatically
when the doors are locked. CAUTION Before getting out of the car,
make sure both switches are in the cen-
tral position; when the doors are closed,
the lights switch off to prevent the battery
from running down.
In any case, if the switch is left in the ‘per-
manently on’ position, the courtesy light
goes off automatically 15 minutes after the
engine switching off.

Door unlocking in the event of
a crash
If the fuel cut-off switch trips following an
accident, the doors will be automatically
unlocked to allow access to the passenger
compartment and the ceiling lights will be
switched on at the same time. The doors
can always be opened from the inside of
the car by using the appropriate controls.
if no fuel leakage is found and the car is
roadworthy, ensure the correct operation
of the vehicle by adhering to the following
instructions. DOOR LOCKING fig. 50
To lock all doors at the same time, press
button A, located on the central console
control panel, regardless of the position
of the ignition key.
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEMThis system triggers after a collision and
activates the following:❒
cut-off of fuel supply with consequent
switching off of the engine;
❒
automatic door unlocking;
❒
switching on of all interior lights.

ESP SYSTEM (Electronic
Stability Program) (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
á
on 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-
ing so you, will stop in the shortest
distance possible under the road con-
ditions at the time.
WARNING
EBD failure
This is indicated by the
>
and
x
warn-
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 the
x
warning 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
á
warn-
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
á
switching 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
á
on 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 it
is vital that the tyres are the same
type on all the wheels, in perfect con-
dition and, above all, the recom-
mended size.

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 system
on/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 button Alo-
cated on the dashboard fig. 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 it
is vital that the tyres are the same
type on all the wheels, in perfect con-
dition and, above all, the recom-
mended size.
WARNING

F0M0109m
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).
