ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Le système ESP comprend:
❒Le système EBD (Electronic Braking
force Distribution) qui permet de ré-
partir le freinage entre les roues avant
et arrière.
❒ABS (Antiblocking System), système an-
tiblocage des roues en freinage;
❒ASR (Active Spin Regulation), qui per-
met de contrôler le patinage des roues
motrices en intervenant sur les freins
et sur le couple moteur;
❒MSR (Motor Schleppmomenten
Regelung - Regulation of engine braking
torque), which intervenes in the event
of a sudden change of gear whilst down-
shifting (preventing the wheels from
locking during deceleration when the
accelerator is released), restoring
torque to the engine, thereby avoiding
excessive drag of the driving wheels
which can lead to a loss of vehicle sta-
bility and control, particularly in poor
grip conditions;
❒HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist), système
qui rend plus efficace un éventuel
freinage d’urgence ;
❒HH (Hill Holder) which, if the brake
pedal is pressed, on a gradient (uphill or
downhill), keeps the vehicle braked for
the time required to set off while the
foot moves from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
For more details on the operation of the
above functions, refer to the Owner
Handbook under the ESP System section.
Compared with the version with two dri-
ve wheels, the ESP system includes the
ELD function (Electronic Locking Differ-
ential) which improves drive.ABS SYSTEM
This version is provided as standard with
the ABS system and includes:
❒EBD (Electronic Braking Force Distrib-
ution), that distributes the braking ef-
fect between front and rear wheels;
❒MSR (Motor Schleppmomenten
Regelung - Regulation of engine braking
torque), which intervenes in the event
of a sudden change of gear whilst down-
shifting (preventing the wheels from
locking during deceleration when the
accelerator is released), restoring
torque to the engine, thereby avoiding
excessive drag of the driving wheels
which can lead to a loss of vehicle sta-
bility and control, particularly in poor
grip conditions.

ELD - ELECTRONIC
LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The ELD (Electronic Locking Differential)
is a further aid when driving or starting the
car in poor grip conditions (snow, ice,
mud, etc.) since it enables to distribute
power adequately to the same axle when
one or more wheels are slipping.
The ELD actually brakes the wheels that
are loosing grip (or that are slipping more
than others) and it transmits power to
wheels having best grip.
This function can be turned on manually
by pressing the ELD button in the dash-
board and works below a level of 50 km/h.
When this speed is exceeded, it is auto-
matically deactivated (the LED in the ELD
button remains on) and it is reactivated as
soon as the speed goes below the level
of 50 km/h.ELD operation
At start-up the ELD system is off.
To turn the ELD system on, press button
fig. 1; the relevant button led will turn on.
The activation of the ELD system involves
the following functions being switched on:
– Permanent four wheel drive, so that the
vehicle is more responsive;
– Inhibition of the ASR function, in order
to fully exploit the engine torque;
– Differential lock effect on the front and
rear axles, via the braking system, to im-
prove drive on uneven surfaces.
If there is a problem with the ELD system,
the (ESP) warning light will come on con-
stantly.4 x 4 Drive - Signals
The warning light in fig. 2-3provides two
different types of signals:
❒signalling with flashing light: this indi-
cates that the differential lock function
(ELD) is activated, for versions with ESP
only and with the ELD button pressed;

❒signalling with light on constantly: this
indicates that there is a problem with
the 4 x 4 drive; go to a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible (where provided,
the display will show a dedicated mes-
sage). In addition, on versions with ESP,
if the ELD is on, the LED in the button
will go out.HEADLIGHT WASHER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The headlight washing system consists of
two nozzles for washing the external
headlight lens. This function can be acti-
vated using the windscreen washer stalk
only if dipped beams or main beams are
on. Operating the stalk to wash the wind-
screen will automatically start the head-
light washer.
This version features a windscreen wash-
er fluid reservoir with improved capaci-
ty, i.e.: 4.5 litres.
IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
General instructions
The vehicle may come (for versions/mar-
kets where provided) with either a space-
saver wheel or Fix & Go quick tyre repair
kit.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack
and space-saver spare wheel call for some
precautions as listed in the Owner Hand-
book this Supplement is attached to. In the
Owner Handbook you will also find how
to use the Fix & Go kit (quick tyre repair
kit).
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground should be flat and adequately
firm;
❒turn the engine off and pull up the hand-
brake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;

WASHING THE CAR
After using the car off-road (wheels, body,
underengine and underbody protections
very dirty), remember to wash it and to
clean accurately radiators (engine and air-
conditioner), radiator fan and wheels (rims
and wheelhouses), underengine and un-
derbody protections to preserve their
regular operation and to guarantee prop-
er ventilation of brake discs, perfect wheel
geometry and regular operation of the
propeller shaft.
TOWING THE CAR
The car can only be towed in one of the
following ways (always and exclusively
with the engine off, gearbox in neutral and
handbrake disengaged):
– with the 4 wheels on the roadbed;
– with front wheels raised or resting on
the wrecking car floor and rear wheels
resting on a suitable truck;
– with rear wheels raised or resting on the
wrecking car floor and front wheels rest-
ing on a suitable truck;
– on wrecking car, with front and rear
wheels resting on the wrecking car floor.
TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT If the car is used at its max.
towing capacity on sloping road, change
engine oil every 10,000 km.
As concerns tow hook installation in-
structions and warnings refer to the at-
tached Owner Handbook.
