Switching the systemon/off
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
When travelling, the ASR can be switched
off and on again pressing button A - fig. 93
set on the dashboard.
When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led on the
button 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.
fig. 93F0M0317mThe 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.
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. 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.FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of malfunctioning, the ASR
system is automatically disconnected and
the warning light
áwill come with fixed
light on the instrument panel together
with the message on the multifunction dis-
play, where provided, (see section “Warn-
ing lights and messages”). In this case con-
tact Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

STARTING
AND DRIVING
All four tyres should be the same (brand
and track) to ensure greater safety when
driving and braking and better driveabili-
ty.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the rotation direction of tyres.
The max. speed of snow
tyres with “Q” mark must
not exceed 160 km/h, respecting how-
ever the applicable rules of the High-
way Code.
WARNING
SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in compli-
ance with local regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only to
the front wheel tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the chains after the
first few metres have been driven.
Keep your speed down when
snow chains are fitted. Do not
exceed 50 km/h. Avoid pot-
holes, steps and pavements
and also avoid driving long distances on
roads not covered with snow in order
to prevent damaging the vehicle and
the roadbed.
PROLONGED VEHICLE
INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be stopped for longer
than one month, the following precautions
must be taken:
❒park the vehicle indoors in a dry and, pos-
sibly, well-ventilated place;
❒engage a gear and check that the hand-
brake is not engaged;
❒disconnect the negative terminal of the
battery and check charge (see paragraph
“Battery” in section “Maintenance and
care”);
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts
using special compounds readily available;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the vehicle with a piece of fabric or
perforated plastic sheet; do not use com-
pact plastic tarpaulins, which prevent hu-
midity from evaporating from the surface
of the vehicle;
❒inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar
above the normal specified pressure and
check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.
