BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance
integral with ESP) (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 the versions
equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP sys-
tem failure (indicated by warning light
áswitching on together with the message
on the multifunction display, where pro-
vided).
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, ASR system
and Hill Holder, (where provided) also the
MSR system (adjusting the engine braking
torque) and the HBA system (improving
the braking force during emergency brak-
ing) are provided.
ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-
ing light áon the instrument panel, to in-
form the driver that the vehicle is in crit-
ical stability and grip conditions.
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
>and xon the in-
strument panel together with the dedi-
cated message on the multifunction dis-
play (where provided), (see section
“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 xalone
comes on (together with the
message on the multifunction display,
where provided), stop the vehicle im-
mediately and contact the nearest Fi-
at Dealership. Fluid leaks from the hy-
draulic system, in fact, can compro-
mise the braking system, both tradi-
tional systems and systems with ABS.

WARNING LIGHTS
AND MESSAGES
GENERAL WARNINGS
Turning on of warning light is accompa-
nied by specific message and/or by buzzer
sound where provided by instrument pan-
el. These indications are concise and
cautionaryand shall not be considered
as exhaustive and/or as an alternative to
the specifications contained in this Own-
er Handbook which shall always be read
through carefully and thoroughly. In case
of failure indication always refer to the
specifications contained in this sec-
tion.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed
are divided into two categories: very se-
riousand less seriousfailures.
Very seriousfailures are indicated by a
repeated and prolonged warning “cycle”.
Less seriousfailures are indicated by a lim-
ited warning “cycle”.
The warning cycle of both failure cate-
gories can be stopped by pressing button
MODE. The instrument panel warning
light will stay on until eliminating the fault.
As concerns messages relevant to the ver-
sions equipped with Dualogic gearbox, see
the attached Supplement.LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL (red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the lev-
el of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls
below the minimum level, due to possi-
ble leak in the circuit.
On certain versions the dedicated message
is displayed.
x
If the warning light xturns
on when travelling (on cer-
tain versions together with the mes-
sage on the display) stop the vehicle
immediately and contact Fiat Deal-
ership.
WARNING
Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the hand-
brake is on.
On certain versions, if the vehicle is mov-
ing the buzzer will also sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on
when travelling, check that the handbrake
is not engaged.

The cylinder contains ethyl-
ene glycol. The cylinder con-
tains latex: it can cause allergic reac-
tions. It is harmful if ingested or in-
haled and irritant for the eyes and in
case of contact. In case of contact
rinse immediately with water and take
off contaminated clothes. If swal-
lowed, do not induce vomit, rinse out
the mouth, drink a lot of water and
call the doctor immediately. Keep
away from children. This product must
not be used by asthmatics. Do not in-
hale vapours. Call the doctor imme-
diately in case of allergic reactions.
Keep the cylinder in the space provid-
ed for the purpose and far from heat.
The sealing fluid has limited life.
WARNINGReplace the cylinder if sealer
has run out. Do not throw
away the cylinder and the
sealing fluid. Have the sealing
fluid and the cylinder disposed of in
compliance with national and local
regulations.
Put on the protection gloves
provided together with quick
tyre repair kit.
WARNING
❒Pull up the handbrake. Loosen tyre
inflation valve cap, take out the filler
hose A-fig. 12and screw the ring nut
Bon the tyre valve;

❒make sure the compressor switch D-
fig. 13is set to 0 (off), start the en-
gine and fit plug E-fig. 14into the
nearest current outlet and then turn
on the compressor by setting switch
D-fig. 13to I(on). Inflate tyre at 4 bar
pressure. Check tyre pressure on gauge F-fig.
13with compressor off to obtain pre-
cise reading;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 3 bar, disengage com-
pressor from valve and current outlet,
then move the vehicle forth for ap-
prox. ten metres in order to distrib-
ute the sealing fluid inside the tyre
evenly, then repeat the inflation op-
eration;
❒if after this operation it is still impos-
sible after 10 minutes to reach at least
3 bar, do not start driving since the
tyre is excessively damaged and the
quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
suitable sealing, contact Fiat Dealer-
ship;
❒re-start immediately if the tyre has
been inflated to 4 bar pressure;
fig. 13F0N0180m
fig. 14F0N0182m
Apply the sticker in a visible
position for the driver to in-
dicate that the tyre has been treat-
ed with the quick tyre repair kit. Dri-
ve carefully especially when corner-
ing. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
heavy braking and accelerating.
WARNING
❒after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check again the tyre pres-
sure; pull up the handbrake;
If the pressure falls below 3
bars, do not drive any fur-
ther: the quick tyre repair kit Fix & Go
automatic cannot guarantee proper
hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact Fiat Dealership.

❒if at laest 3 bar pressure is read, re-
store proper pressure specified in
paragraph” Tyre pressure” in section
“Technical Specifications” (with engine
running and handbrake on) and
restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the
nearest Fiat Dealership.
FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can be also used just for
restoring pressure. Disconnect the quick
connection Cand connect it directly to
the tyre valve fig. 15; in this way the cylin-
der is not connected to compressor and
the sealing fluid will not flow into the tyre.
NOTE If the tyre shall be deflated, con-
nect quick connection Cto the tyre valve
and press the yellow button set in the mid-
dle of the compressor switch.CYLINDER REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder proceed as fol-
lows:
❒disconnect connection A-fig. 17;
❒turn counter-clockwise the cylinder
to replace and raise it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clock-
wise;
❒fit connection Aand connect tube B
into its seat.
It is of vital importance to
communicate that the tyre
has been repaired using the quick tyre
repair kit. Hand the instruction
brochure to the personnel charged
with treating the tyre repaired with
the kit.
WARNING
fig. 17F0N0184mfig. 15F0N0181m
Repair may not be possible
if tyres other than those sup-
plied with the vehicle are used. If the
tyres are replaced, it is advisable to
fit products approved by the manu-
facturer. Consult the Fiat Dealership.
