WINDOW WINDERS
FRONT POWER WINDOWS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Buttons fig. 70have been provided on the
driver’s door panel to control the follow-
ing functions with the ignition turned to
MAR:
A:opening/closing of left-hand window;
B:opening/closing of right-hand window.
Press buttons Aor Bto open/close the
desired window.
When one of these buttons is pressed
shortly, the window “jogs”; when pressed
for long, continuous automatic window
lifting or lowering is engaged. The window
stops in the required position when but-
ton Aor Bis pressed again.
The power windows are fitted with a safe-
ty system (for versions/markets, where
provided) that detects the presence of an
obstacle during window closing and cuts
in by stopping and reversing the window
stroke.IMPORTANT If the anti-crush function is
enabled for 5 times within 1 minute, the
system automatically switches to “recov-
ery” mode (self-protection). This condi-
tion is highlighted by upward jogging of the
window while closing.
In this case, it is necessary to carry out the
system restore procedure as follows:
❒open the windows;
or
❒turn the ignition key to STOPand then
to MAR.
If no malfunction is present, the window
returns to its normal operation automat-
ically.
IMPORTANT With ignition key in STOP
position or removed, the power windows
remain activated for about 2 minutes and
are deactivated immediately as soon as a
door is opened.

Incorrect use of the power
windows may be dangerous.
Before operation, always check that
no passenger is exposed to the risk of
being injured directly by the moving
window or by objects getting caught
in or dragged by the window.
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, al-
ways remove the ignition key
to avoid the risk of injury due to ac-
cidental operation of the power win-
dows.

If warning light xonly lights
up on the instrument panel
(with a message on the display in
some versions), immediately stop the
vehicle and go to the nearest Fiat
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic flu-
id from the braking system jeopardis-
es the functionality of the braking sys-
tem, either of the conventional type
or with ABS.

EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>and xon the instru-
ment panel (together with the dedicated
message on the display in some versions)
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-
ly lock and the vehicle may swerve. Dri-
ve carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance
integral with ESP)
(for versions/markets, 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 thus supporting the driver to
obtain prompt and effective braking.
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, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the car 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, (for versions/markets,
where provided) also the MSR system (ad-
justing the engine braking torque) and the
HBA system (improving the braking force
during emergency braking) are provided.
ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-
ing light
áon the instrument panel, to in-
form the driver that the car is in critical
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.

MSR system (engine braking
torque control)
It is an integral part of the ASR system that
in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in pro-
viding torque to the engine thus prevent-
ing excessive driving wheel drive that, spe-
cially in poor grip conditions, can lead to
loss of stability.
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, for versions/mar-
kets, where provided.
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.
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
fig. 93F0M0317m
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)
The ASR function controls car drive and
cuts in automatically every time one or
both driving wheels slip.
According to slipping conditions, two dif-
ferent control systems are activated:
❒if slipping involves both driving wheels,
the ASR function intervenes reducing
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).

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of
emission-related components of the vehi-
cle. It also alerts the driver, by switching
on of the warning light Uon the instru-
ment panel (together with relevant mes-
sage on the display in some versions)
when these components are no longer in
peak conditions (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
The objective of this system is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒to warn about increased emissions due
to a vehicle malfunction;
❒to warn of the need to replace deteri-
orated components.The system also has a diagnostic connector
that can be interfaced with appropriate
tools, which makes it possible to read the
error codes stored in the control unit to-
gether with a series of specific parameters
for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by the
traffic police.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the prob-
lem, to check the system completely, Fi-
at Dealerships are obliged to run a bench
test and, if necessary, road tests which
may also call for a long journey.Go to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible if warning
light Udoes not light up when the
key is turned to MAR or if, during
travel, the warning light comes on ei-
ther steady or blinking (along with a
message on the display). The opera-
tion of the warning light Umay be
checked by the traffic police using
specific devices. Follow the laws in
force in the country where you are
driving.

DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin clots with consequent anomalous
operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different
types of diesel are distributed according to
the season: summer type, winter type and
arctic type (cold, mountain areas). If refu-
elling with diesel fuel whose features are not
suitable to the temperature of use, it is ad-
visable to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART addi-
tive in the proportions shown on the con-
tainer with the fuel. Pour the additive in-
to the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold areas,
it is advisable to refuel using locally avail-
able fuel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the
tank over 50% full.For diesel engines, use diesel
fuel for motor vehicles com-
pliant with EN590 European
specifications only. The use of
other products or mixtures may dam-
age the engine beyond repair and con-
sequently cause lapse of warranty in
relation to the damage caused. If you
accidentally introduce other types of
fuel in the tank, do not start the engine
and empty the tank. If the engine has
run also for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel feed sys-
tem emptied in addition to the tank.
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the pump switches off. Further top-
ups could cause faults in the fuel feeding
system.
