PNEUMATIC
SUSPENSIONS
In some versions the tires rear suspen-
sions self-leveling may be included as an
optional.
According to versions suspensions can be
adjusted manually or automatically.
MANUAL ADJUSTMENT
The controls fig.109are located in the
rear right of the vehicle.
Height adjustment
The height adjustment varies from a max-
imum alignmentto an intermediate
alignmentto a minimum alignment.
The reaching of the two stabilities, maxi-
mum or minimum is signalled by 3 “beeps”.
By pressing down twice on one of the A
buttons (starting from the minimum align-
ment position) or one of the Bbuttons
(starting from the maximum alignment po-
sition), the system will automatically ad-
just the setting to the intermediate align-
ment.
fig. 109F0P0102m
Before starting the manual
adjustment procedure with
doors open, make sure there
is enough space around the
vehicle.
First-time use
To initialize the system, keep pushbutton
C-fig.109pressed for 2 seconds
Operating faults
If, when acting on the controls, the sus-
pensions do not adjust, 3 acoustic warn-
ings indicate a system malfunction.
This malfunction could be due to one of
these causes:
❒the brake pedal is pressed and the ig-
nition key is in Mposition
❒excessive use of the system manual ad-
justment;
❒the battery is low (or completely dis-
charged);
❒a tire suspension system error.
If the acoustic warning persists, contact
the Fiat Dealership. The required height level should be set
with vehicle at a standstill and engine run-
ning or off.
With engine off, manual adjustment is on-
ly possible for a restricted number of
times.
IMPORTANT Only make adjustments
with vehicle stationary and:
❒front and side doors closed;
❒handbrake engaged;
❒without pressing the brake pedal.

AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT
The controls fig.110are located in the
bottom rear of the vehicle.
If the vehicle is fitted with pneumatic sus-
pensions with automatic adjustment, the
system will adjust automatically the height
of the vehicle according to the load.
The warning light
…on the instrument
panel will blink when the height level is not
adequate and is to be adjusted: in this case
let the engine run without accelerating un-
til the warning light turns off (optimum
suspension adjustment).
Under certain conditions it could be tem-
porarily not possible to perform the re-
quired adjustment:
❒one or more doors open;
❒vehicle braked (brake pedal pressed,
e.g. stop at red light).
Turning the system off
and on again
To turn the system off: keep button A-fig.
110pressed until hearing the beep.
Double beep and button led Aturning on
will confirm deactivation.Once the system is deactivated, to reac-
tivate it (only with vehicle stationary) keep
button A-fig. 110pressed until hearing
the beep. Double beep and button led A
turning on will confirm reactivation.

LOAD
RECOMMENDATIONS
This vehicle has been designed and ap-
proved on the basis of several set maxi-
mum weights (see the tables “Weights” in
section “Technical Specifications”):
❒kerb weight;
❒payload;
❒total weight;
❒max. load on front axle;
❒max. load on rear axle;
❒towable load.
Each of these limits must be
borne in mind and MUST
NEVER BE EXCEEDED under any cir-
cumstances. In particular, never ex-
ceed the maximum weight permitted
on the front and rear axles when ar-
ranging loads in the vehicle (espe-
cially for special version vehicles).

ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the vehicle stability in the event
of tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road sur-
faces changes.
In addition to the ESP system and ASR sys-
tem, also the MSR system (adjusting the
engine braking torque) and the HBA sys-
tem (improving the braking force during
emergency braking) are provided.ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The flashing led B-fig. 113present on the
button, is to inform the driver that the ve-
hicle is in critical conditions of road sta-
bility and adherence.
ESP SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
By pressing button A-fig. 113, situated on
the bridge of the central compartment, the
ESP system is deactivated.
The deactivation is signalled by the fixed
led light on the button.
The system is re-activated:
❒automatically, starting from 50 km/h
❒manually, by pressing the button again.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
In case of an eventual anomaly, the ESP
system automatically disconnects itself and
on the instrument panel the warning light
™is fixed, accompanied by a beeper and
a dedicated message on the display (see
chapter “Warning lights and messages”).
In which case please seek advice, as soon
as possible, from the Fiat Dealership.
Performance of the ESP sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility and traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.
WARNING
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)
The ASR system controls the vehicle
drive and cuts in automatically every
time one or both driving wheels slip.
In slipping conditions, two different con-
trol systems are activated:
❒ if slipping involves both driving wheels,
the ASR function intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping involves only one driving
wheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-
matically braking the wheel that is slip-
ping. The action of the ASR system is particu-
larly helpful in the following circumstances:
❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or ex-
cessive acceleration;
❒ too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the conditions
of the road surface;
❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces;
❒in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-
face (aquaplaning).
For correct operation of the
ESP and ASR systems, the
tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in per-
fect conditions and, above all, of
type, brand and size specified.

MSR system
(engine braking torque control)
It is an integral part of the ASR system that
in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in pro-
viding torque to the engine thus prevent-
ing excessive driving wheel drive that, spe-
cially in poor grip conditions, can lead to
loss of stability.Switching the system on/off
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
Switching the ESP system off will auto-
matically switch off the ASR system too.
When travelling, the ASR can be switched
off and on again by pressing switch Alo-
cated on the dashboard fig. 119.
When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led
B-fig. 119on the switch and by relevant
message on the multifunction display,
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, slip-
ping of the driving wheels when moving off
makes it possible to obtain better drive.
The performance of the sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks.
The style of driving must in any case
always be adapted to the conditions
of the road surface, visibility and traf-
fic. Road safety is always the driver’s
responsibility.
WARNING
For correct operation of the ASR system,
the tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in perfect
conditions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of malfunctioning, the ASR
system is automatically disconnected and
the warning light
™will come with fixed
light on the instrument panel, (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
In this case contact Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
