ABS SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the braking system, which
prevents one or more wheels from locking or
slipping regardless of the road surface conditions and
braking intensity, giving the best control during
emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution) completes the system, allowing the
brake force to be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT For maximum efficiency of the braking
system, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is
needed: during this period it is better to avoid sharp,
repeated and prolonged braking.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has come into
action because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and
the system gets noisier: it means that the vehicle
speed should be altered to suit the type of road
surface.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
br
ake pedal pulsating, do not remove
your foot , but keep the pedal pushed down; in
doing so you, will stop in the shortest distance
possible under the road conditions at the time.
WARNING
If the ABS cuts in, it is a sign that the
gr
ip between tyre and the road surface
has reached the limit : you must slow down to
match the speed to the road grip available.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most from the
av
ailable grip, but it cannot improve it ;
you should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by warning light
in the
instrument panel coming on (together with the
appropriate message on the multifunction display on
some versions) (see “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the braking system will work as normal,
but without the extra capacity offered by the ABS
system. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.

EBD failure
ABS failure is indicated by warning light
andin
the instrument panel coming on (together with the
appropriate message on the multifunction display
on some versions) (see “Warning lights and
messages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and
the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
WARNING
If only warning lightlights up in the
instrument panel (with a message in the
multifunction display on some versions), 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.BRAKE ASSIST (integrated ESP emergency
braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system (which is compulsory) recognises
emergency braking according to the speed of
operation of the brake pedal and provides additional
hydraulic braking pressure to support that applied
by the driver. This allows faster and more powerful
operation of the braking system.
The Brake Assist is deactivated on versions equipped
with ESP if there is an ESP system failure (indicated
by the warning light and the message on the
multifunction display, for versions/markets where
provided).
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in and you feel the
br
ake pedal pulsating, do not remove
your foot , but keep the pedal pushed down; in
doing so you, will stop in the shortest distance
possible under the road conditions at the time.

Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when starting up. To
activate the "Traction Plus" system, press the button
(T+ fig. 91): the LED on the button switches on.
The activation of the Traction Plus system involves
the following functions being switched on:
❒inhibition of the ASR function, in order to fully
exploit the engine torque;
❒the differential locking effect on the front axle,
through the braking system, to improve traction
on irregular grounds.
If the "Traction Plus" system is faulty, the "general
failure" instrument panel warning light
comes on
steady.
EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis)
allows continuous diagnosis of emission-related
components on the vehicle. It also alerts the driver,
by turning on instrument panel warning light
(together with the relevant message in the
display, on some versions), when these components
are no longer in peak condition (see “Warning
lights and messages” section).
The aim of the system is to:
❒monitor system efficiency;
❒warn about increased emissions due to a vehicle
malfunction;
❒to warn of the need to replace deteriorated
components.
The system also has a connector that can be
interfaced with appropriate equipment, which makes
it possible to read the error codes stored in the
control unit, together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by traffic police.
IMPORTANT After resolving the problem, to check
the system completely, Fiat Dealerships are obliged
to run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests
which may call for a long journey.

FUEL FILLER CAP
Opening
1) Open the flap A fig. 95 by pulling it outwards,
keep the cap B fig. 95 still, insert the ignition key in
the lock and turn it anticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and remove it.
The cap has a device C fig. 95 that attaches it to the
flap so it cannot be lost. When refilling, attach the
cap to the flap, as illustrated.
Closing
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it
clockwise until it clicks once or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close
the flap.The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in
pressure in the tank. A suction noise when you
release the cap is therefore entirely normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler
to prevent breathing in harmful vapours.

SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
Wear the belt keeping the torso upright and rested
against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A fig. 96and
insert it into the buckle B, until the locking click is
heard.
If the seat belt jams, let it rewind for a short stretch,
then pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the
seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.
WARNING
Never press button C fig. 96 when
t
ravelling.
Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to
the body of the passenger wearing it, allowing
freedom of movement.
The reel may lock up when the vehicle is parked on a
steep slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore,
the reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled
sharply or in the event of sudden braking, collisions
and high-speed bends.
All rear seats are fitted with inertia seat belts with
three anchor points and a reel.
WARNING
Remember that , in the event of a violent
c
ollision, back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts represent a serious danger
for the front seat passengers as well as for
themselves.

SBR SYSTEM
The vehicle is equipped with the SBR (Seat Belt
Reminder) system, which warns the driver and the
front passenger if their seat belt is not fastened,
as follows:
❒warning light
comes on and the buzzer sounds
continuously for the first 6 seconds;
❒warning light
blinks and intermittent activation
of the beeper for the next 90 seconds.
For permanent deactivation, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
The SBR system can also be reactivated through the
setup menu.
PRETENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency of the front seat
belts, the vehicle is fitted with pretensioners. These
devices, in the event of a violent head-on crash or
side impact, rewind the seat belts a few centimetres.
In this way, they ensure that the belts fit tightly to
the wearer before the restraining action begins.
The seat belt reel locks to indicate that the
pretensioner has cut in; the seat belt cannot be
drawn back up even when guided manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioners,
wear the seat so it fits snugly over the chest and
hips.
A small amount of smoke may be produced when the
pretensioners cut in. This smoke is not toxic and
does not indicate a fire.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or lubrication. Anything that modifies its original
conditions invalidates its efficiency. If, due to unusual
natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the device
has been affected by water and mud, it absolutely
must be replaced.

WARNING
There may be a fault in the retaining
sys
tems if the warning light
does not
light up when the key is turn on or remains on
while travelling (on some versions with a
message on the display). In this case, the airbags
or the pretensioners may not be activated in
the case of an accident or (more seldom) they
may be activated incorrectly. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
WARNING
The expiration dates of the explosive
ch
arge and the clock wire are shown on
a label contained in the glove box. Go to a Fiat
Dealership to have the devices replaced when
the expiration date approaches.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap,
in front of your chest or between
your lips (pipe, pencils, etc .): they could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
WARNING
Airbags may be deployed if another
v
ehicle crashes into yours if the key is
inserted and on, even if the engine is not
running and your vehicle is standing. For this
reason, children must never sit on the front
seat , even if when standing. On the other hand,
if the key is inserted and at STOP, none of the
safety devices (airbag or pretensioners) will
be deployed in a collision. Non-deployment of
the devices in this case does not indicate a
system fault .
WARNING
Have the airbag system checked by a
Fiat
Dealership if the car was stolen, if
theft was attempted, or if the car was subjected
to vandalism or flooding.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to MAR,
t
he warning light
(with passenger's
front airbag activated) comes on and flashes for
a few seconds to remind you that the
passenger's airbag will be deployed in a crash,
after which it should go off.
