SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESP system comes on automatically when the vehi-
cle is started and cannot be turned off.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ESP will be automatically
switched off and the áwarning light will come on per-
manently on the instrument panel along with a message on
the multifunction display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) (see “Warning lights and messages” section). The
LED on the ASR OFF button will also light up. Contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if this happens.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 direction-
al control.
The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when the
grip conditions of road surfaces change.
The MSR system (adjustment of the engine braking torque
during gear changes) and the HBA system (automatic in-
crease in the braking pressure during emergency brak-
ing) are present with ESP, ASR and Hill Holder systems
(for versions/markets where provided).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by warning light áflashing on the instru-
ment panel to inform the driver that the car is experiencing
critical stability and grip conditions.

Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your
vehicle is fitted with an ESP system. Your
driving style must always be suited to the road
conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is al-
ways ultimately responsible for road safety.
WARNING
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the ESP system and it
facilitates hill starts.
It is automatically activated in the following conditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient high-
er than 5%, engine running, 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
reverse gear engaged.During start-up, the ESP system control unit maintains the
braking pressure at the wheels until the engine torque
required for departure is reached, or for a maximum of
1 second, allowing your right foot to be moved easily from
the brake pedal to the accelerator.
If the vehicle has not departed after this time, the system
will deactivate automatically by gradually releasing the
brake force.
At release, the typical brake disengagement noise indicat-
ing that the car is going to move will be heard.

F0U0106mfig. 116
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may be
helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, if the dri-
ve wheels skid when moving off, you get better traction. MSR system (engine drive regulation)
This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in the event of
sudden gear shifting on hills, cuts in to provide torque to the en-
gine, thus preventing excessive driving wheel drag that, espe-
cially in poor grip conditions, can lead to loss of stability.
Switching the systemon/off fig. 116
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 located on the dashboard fig. 116.
When the ASR is switched off, this is shown by the LED on the
button coming on and by the relevant message appearing on the
multifunction display, where provided.
If you switch off the ASR during a journey, it will come back on
automatically when the engine is next started.

Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your

ving style must always be suited to the road con-
ditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is always

WARNING
For the correct operation of the ASR system, the tyres
must absolutely be the same make and type on all wheels,
in perfect condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size specified.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ASR will be automatically
switched off and warning light áwill appear permanent-
ly on the instrument panel along with a message on the
multifunction display, where provided (see “Warning lights
and messages”). In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.

Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road conditions al-
low. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase
fuel consumption. In the same way, improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions and engine wear.
Top speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed in-
creases. Keep your speed as even as possible, avoiding un-
necessary braking and acceleration, which cause excessive
fuel consumption and increased emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects consumption and
emissions: acceleration should be gradual and should not
exceed the maximum torque.CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-ups will prevent the
engine from reaching optimal running temperature. Con-
sequently, both fuel consumption (from +15 to +30% on
the urban cycle) and emissions will increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Heavy traffic, for instance when travelling in a queue with
frequent use of low gears or in cities with lots of traffic
lights, causes fairly high fuel consumption. Mountain roads
and uneven surfaces also have a negative effect on con-
sumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. at level crossings) the en-
gine should be switched off.
