ASR SYSTEM
(Antislip Regulation)
It is an integral part of the ESP system, it
controls car drive and cuts in automati-
cally every time one or both driving
wheels slip.
According to slipping conditions, two dif-
ferent control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both the driving
wheels, the ASR function intervenes re-
ducing 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 is particularly help-
ful 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).Switching on/off of the ASR system
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
Switching on/off is indicated by the rele-
vant message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
When travelling ASR can be switched off
and on again pressing switch A-fig. 123
on the central console.
When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led on the
switch and by the relevant message on the
display (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
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 al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility an traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electrically
controlled power steering system called
“Dualdrive” working only with ignition key
at MARand engine running, that can be
customised by the driver according to the
driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning quickly the
ignition key, power steering full operation
is obtained after 1-2 seconds.ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To connect/disconnect the CITY function,
push the button A-fig. 125located on the
central tunnel on the side of the gearbox
control lever.
Connection of this function is reported by
the word CITY on the “Multifunction dis-
play”.
When the CITY function is on the steer-
ing wheel effort is lighter and thus parking
operations are easier: therefore this func-
tion is particularly useful for driving in city
centres.FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure is indicated by warning light
gcoming on (together with the message on
the display) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”).
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.
IMPORTANT Under certain circum-
stances, factors independent from the
electric power steering could cause the il-
lumination of the warning light
gon the
instrument panel. We suggest to stop im-
mediately the car, turn off the engine for
about 20 seconds and then re-start the
car. If the warning light
gstays on (to-
gether with the message on the display),
contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The steering may become
slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres
including a great deal of steering. This is
normal and caused by a system to prevent
motor overheating. No servicing is re-
quired. The electrical power steering sys-
tem will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of sensor failures, when en-
gaging the reverse gear the driver is
warned by the turning on of warning light
èon the instrument panel and by the rel-
evant message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated
automatically when the trailer electric ca-
ble plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.
Sensors are reactivated when removing
the trailer cable plug.GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care to
obstacles set above or under the sen-
sors.
❒Objects set close to the car front or
rear part, under certain circumstances
are not detected and could therefore
cause damages to the car.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasound sys-
tems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or
pneumatic hammers) set nearby the
car. For proper operation, the
parking sensors set on the
bumpers shall be clean from
mud, dirt, snow or ice. When
cleaning the sensors, take the utmost
care to prevent their damaging; do not
use therefore dry or rough clothes. Sen-
sors shall be washed with clean water
and car detergent, if required. In wash-
ing stations, clean sensors quickly keep-
ing the vapour jet/high pressure wash-
ing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the
sensors.
Parking manoeuvres howev-
er are always under the dri-
ver’s responsibility that shall always
check the absence of people (spe-
cially children) or animals in the ma-
noeuvre space. This system is just a
help for the driver but she/he shall
never reduce attention during dan-
gerous manoeuvres even if performed
at low speed.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
USING THE
“SELESPEED” GEARBOX
(where provided)
The car may be fitted with a mechanical
transmission with electronic control called
“Selespeed”. This device includes a con-
ventional mechanical gearbox to which an
electronically-operated electro-hydraulic
device has been added which controls au-
tomatically the clutch and gear engage-
ment.
The car moves off using only the acceler-
ator pedal.
To be able to use the Selespeed correct-
ly, this chapter should be read in full. OPERATION
The gearbox can work in two operating
modes:
❒the first mode is manual (MANUAL),
the driver directly requests gearshift-
ing;
❒the second mode is automatic (AUTO),
the system directly decides when shift-
ing gear.
On versions fitted with Cruise Control,
when activating it, the Selespeed gearbox
will automatically set in AUTO mode. To
select the manual mode deactivate the
Cruise Control (see paragraph “Cruise
Control” in section “Dashboard and con-
trols”).Manual mode (MANUAL)
In MANUAL mode, the display shows the
gear engaged.
The requests to change gear may take
place through:❒the gear lever A-fig. 5on the central
console;
❒the steering wheel controls fig. 6,
which can be operated only when the
car speed exceeds 5 km/h.
It is not necessary to release the acceler-
ator pedal when shifting gears.
Neutral (N) is accepted until the car speed
exceeds 40 km/h. The reverse gear en-
gagement (R) is accepted only if the car
is stationary.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CARSuch operating mode is set when, with
AUTO mode selected, the button AUTO
fig. 7is pressed again, thereby excluding
the previously selected mode.
When downshifting, the engine is accel-
erated automatically to bring it to the
speed necessary with the new gear ratio.
With the accelerator pedal pressed and
gradual engine speed increase, gearshift-
ing becomes quicker.In the manual operating mode there are
certain automatic/security devices which
simplify driving:
❒when slowing down the clutch is
opened and the transmission ratio is au-
tomatically reduced to be ready for
picking up again; otherwise, when the
car is stopped, the gearbox will auto-
matically be in first gear (1);
❒requests to change gear that would take
the engine to exceed the maximum
speed or below minimum speed are not
accepted;
❒nif the engine reaches the maximum
permissible speed and accelerating con-
tinues (without the cutting in of the
ASR or ESP system), the system auto-
matically engages a higher gear; ASR or
ESP system activation at max speed,
gearshifting is inhibited;
❒if jamming occurs during gear engage-
ment, the system firstly tries to engage
the gear required again and, if it is still
not possible, it automatically engages
the immediately higher one to avoid
leaving the car in neutral (N).
IMPORTANT It is advisable to wait for the
end of a gear shifting operation before re-
questing another one, to avoid multiple re-
quests in rapid succession.Automatic mode (AUTO)
This operating mode is selected by press-
ing button AUTO, on the central console.
In the AUTO operating mode, AUTO is
displayed followed by the indication of the
gear selected.
Releasing the accelerator pedal quickly,
the system does not engage a higher gear
in order to maintain an adequate level of
engine brake.
The indication on the display of the gear
selected, can be as follows:
N = neutral;
1 = first gear;
2 = second gear;
3 = third gear;
4 = fourth gear;
5 = fifth gear;
R = reverse;
