The daytime running lights
are an alternative to the
dipped beam headlights for driving
during the daytime in countries
where it is compulsory to have lights
on during the day, and they are al-
so permitted in those countries
where this not obligatory.
ATTENTION
Daytime running lights can-
not replace dipped head-
lights when driving at night or
through tunnels. The use of daytime
running lights is governed by the high-
way code of the country in which you

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 Îlights 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
3on
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).

HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct direction of the headlights is
essential for the comfort and safety of the
driver and other road users. The head-
lights must be correctly directed to ensure
the best visibility. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship to have the direction checked and, if
necessary, adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
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 aimed again in this case. Headlight alignment adjustment

To adjust, press buttons
Òand Óon the
control panel.
The display located on the instrument pan-
el provides the visual indication of the po-
sitions during the adjustment operation.
Position 0– one or two people on front
seats.
Position 1– five people.
Position 2– five people + load in the boot.
Position 3– driver + maximum admitted
load in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check the beam alignment
every time the load transported changes.

ABS SYSTEM
If you have never driven a vehicle with
ABS before, it is advisable to perform
a few tests on slippery ground, naturally in
conditions of safety and respecting the
highway code of the country where you
are driving. Read the following informa-
tion carefully.
ABS is an integral part of the braking sys-
tem which prevents, whatever the road
conditions and force applied to the brake
pedal, the wheels from locking and con-
sequently sliding under braking, thus en-
suring that the vehicle remains under con-
trol even during emergency braking.
The system is completed by EBD (Elec-
tronic Brakeforce Distribution), which dis-
tributes the braking action between front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT For the maximum efficien-
cy of the braking system, a bedding-in pe-
riod of about 500 km is needed (for a new
vehicle or after having replaced the brake
pads/discs): during this period it is better
to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged
braking.The ABS gets the most from
the available grip, but it can-
not improve it; you should therefore
take every care when driving on slip-
pery surfaces and not take unneces-
sary risks.
WARNING
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has
been activated because the brake pedal
pulsates slightly and the system gets nois-
ier: this means that the car speed should
be altered to fit the type of road surface.
MECHANICAL BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, 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 powerful operation
of the braking system.
IMPORTANT When the Mechanical
Brake Assist is activated noises can be
heard from the system. This is normal.
Anyway, while braking keep the brake
pedal depressed.
If the ABS cuts in, it is a sign
that the grip between tyre
and the road surface has reached the
limit: you must slow down to match
the speed to the road grip available.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
This is indicated by the
>warning light
on the instrument panel together with the
dedicated message on the multifunction
display (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) coming on (see “Warning lights and
messages” section).
In this case, the braking system will work
as normal, but without the extra capacity
offered by the ABS system. Drive care-
fully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.

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
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-
ing so you, will stop in the shortest
distance possible under the road con-
ditions at the time.
WARNINGEBD failure
This is indicated by the
>and xwarn-
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 xwarning 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.
