When outside temperature is cold, recir-
culation is forced to off (outside air inlet)
to prevent window misting up.
In automatic operation inside air recircu-
lation will be controlled automatically by
the system according to outside environ-
mental conditions.Climate control compressor on/off
button A
Pressing button A/Cwill activate the com-
pressor and the display may show the
same wording A/Cto confirm activation.
With compressor on, pressing button
A/Cagain will deactivate the climate con-
trol compressor and therefore the word-
ing will disappear from the display.
When turning the compressor off, the sys-
tem will deactivate air recirculation to pre-
vent window misting up. If the system is
no longer able to keep the required tem-
perature, temperature value will flash and
the wording AUTOwill disappear from
the display.IMPORTANT With the climate control
compressor off, it is not possible to admit
air to the passenger compartment with a
temperature below the outside tempera-
ture; moreover, under certain environ-
mental conditions, windows could mist up
fastly since air is not dehumidified.
The switching off of the climate control
compressor remains in storage even when
the engine has been stopped. To restore
automatic control for switching on the cli-
mate control compressor, press again but-
ton A/Cor press button AUTO.
With climate control compressor off, the
fan speed can be set to zero manually.
With compressor on and engine running,
the fan speed cannot be lower that one
bar on the display.
It is inadvisable to use air re-
circulation on rainy/cold
days as it would considerably increase
the possibility of windows misting up
inside.

the rain sensor activated the normal wash-
ing cycle is performed at the end of which
the rain sensor resumes its normal auto-
matic function.
So as to deactivate the rain sensor, put the
windscreen wiper command in the I, 1or
2positions. The deactivation is accompa-
nied by a message on the display.
To activate the rain sensor you have to
move the stalk to another position and
then back to AUTO.The rain sensor is able to recognize and
automatically adjust itself in the presence
of the following particular conditions:
❒
impurities on the controlled surface
(salt, dirt, etc...);
❒
streaks of water produced by worn
wiper blades;
❒
difference between day and night (hu-
man eye is more bothered by wet glass
at night).Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position), regardless of
the position of the knurled ring, operates
the windscreen washer and if the dipped
or high beams are on, also the headlight
washer (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided).

FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>
on the instrument pan-
el together with the message on the mul-
tifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
In this case the braking system is still effi-
cient, though without the aid of the ABS
system. Drive carefully to the closest Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance
integral with ESC)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The system, which cannot be cut out, rec-
ognizes emergency braking (on the ground
of the brake pedal operation speed) and
considerably increases the pressure in the
brake circuit.
Brake Assist is deactivated on vehicles
equipped with ESC, in the event of ESC
system failure (indicated by the switching
on of warning light
™
).
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.
WARNING
EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>
, x
and STOP on the
instrument panel together with the mes-
sage on the multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided), (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case with sharp braking the rear
wheels might lock too early, with the pos-
sibility of skidding. Drive extremely care-
fully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
If warning light
x
alone
comes on (together with the
message on the multifunction display,
for versions/markets, where provid-
ed), stop the vehicle immediately and
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
Fluid leaks from the hydraulic system,
in fact, can compromise the braking
system, both traditional systems and
systems with ABS.

ESC SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Control) (for versions/markets, where provided)
The ESC system is an electronic system
controlling the vehicle stability in the event
of tyre grip loss.
The ESC system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road sur-
faces changes.
In addition to the ESC system and ASR
system, also the MSR system (adjusting the
engine braking torque) and the HBA sys-
tem (improving the braking force during
emergency braking) are provided.
ESC 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.ESC SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
By pressing button A-fig. 113, situated on
the bridge of the central compartment, the
ESC 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 ESC
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 ESC 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.

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).
Do not take unnecessary
risks, even if your vehicle is
fitted with the ESC and ASR sys-
tems.Your driving style must always
be suited to the road conditions, vis-
ibility and traffic.The driver is always
responsible for road safety.
WARNING
Switching the system on/off
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
Switching the ESC 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. 113.
When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led
B-fig. 113on the switch and by relevant
message 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, slip-
ping of the driving wheels when moving off
makes it possible to obtain better drive.
