AND CONTROLS
During the use of the space-
saver spare wheel, the ESP
system carries on working. However,
you must remind that the space-saver
spare wheel has dimensions smaller
than the standard tyre and therefore
its grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
System failure is indicated by the turning
on of warning light
áon the instrument
panel (together with the message on the
display) (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is
not a parking brake. Never get out of the
car without engaging the handbrake,
switching the engine off and engaging the
first gear.
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.
WARNING
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 the ASR system on/off
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”).
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 and traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.

AND CONTROLS
When using the spare wheel,
the ASR system is excluded
and the warning light
áon the in-
strument panel turns on glowing
steadily (together with the message
on the display) (see section “Warn-
ing lights and messages”).
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of malfunctioning, the ASR
system is automatically disconnected and
the warning light
áwill turn on with fixed
light on the instrument panel (together
with the message on the display) (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”). In
this case contact Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
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.
WARNING
When travelling ASR can be switched off
and on again by pressing switch ASR OFF
set on the dashboard next to the steer-
ing wheel fig. 101.
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.MSR system
(engine braking torque control)
The car is fitted with a special system, in-
tegral with the ASR system, that in case of
sudden gear shifting, cuts in providing
torque to the engine thus preventing ex-
cessive driving wheel drive that, specially
in poor grip conditions, can lead to loss of
stability.

Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs
will greatly affect consumption and emis-
sions: to contain fuel consumption accel-
eration should be gradual.
Using the SPORT function, fuel consump-
tion will be slightly higher than the values
stated in paragraph “Fuel consumption” in
this Supplement.
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in non-
compliance of the car with homolo-
gation requirements.
WARNING
Always switch the engine off,
remove the key from the
starting device and actuate the steer-
ing lock before carrying out any main-
tenance operation, especially when
the wheels are raised from the
ground. In case this is not possible
(e.g. when the key must be in MAR
position or the engine running), re-
move the electric power steering
main fuse before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
WARNING
When the function is on, the S symbol is
lit on the instrument panel. Press the but-
ton again to turn off the function and re-
store normal steering settings.
IMPORTANT when the SPORT button is
pressed, the function activates after about
5 seconds.
IMPORTANT during acceleration, when
the SPORT function is in use, it is possible
to feel steering judder, which is typical of
this sporty setting.
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 electric power steering sys-
tem will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.

ENGINE STARTING
The car is fitted with an electronic engine
lock device: if the engine fails to start, see
the paragraph “The Fiat CODE system” in
section “Dashboard and controls”.
The engine may be noisier than usual dur-
ing the first seconds of operation, espe-
cially after it has not been used for a while.
This characteristic feature of the hydraulic
tappet system does not compromise func-
tionality or reliability. This timing system
for petrol engines was adopted to limit
servicing.
Engine starting is guaranteed up to a min-
imum temperature of –18°C (Italy and
Middle Europe) and –20°C (North Eu-
rope).

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒pull up the handbrake;
❒set the gear lever to neutral;
❒press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVVand let
it go the moment the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to STOP
before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warn-
ing light
Yremains (or the symbol on dis-
play) lit together with warning light U,
turn the key to STOPand then back to
MAR; if the warning light remains on, try
with the other keys provided with the car.
We recommend that during
the initial period you do not
drive to full car performance
(e.g.: excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp brak-
ing, etc.).
Running the engine in con-
fined areas is extremely dan-
gerous. The engine consumes oxygen
and produces carbon monoxide
which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.
WARNING
When the engine is switched
off never leave the ignition key
at MARto prevent pointless
current absorption from drain-
ing the battery.
If you are still unable to start the engine,
perform the emergency start-up proce-
dure (see “Emergency start-up” in section
“In an emergency”) and contact Fiat Deal-
ership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key
at MARwhen the engine is off.
