DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS
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 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.
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, for versions/markets, where provid-
ed, (see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”). In this case contact Fiat Dealer-
ship as soon as possible.
TRACTION PLUS
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Traction Plus is a help with driving and set-
ting off in poor grip conditions (snow, ice,
mud, etc.) which allows the drive force to
be evenly distributed over the same axle
when both wheels are slipping.
In effect, Traction Plus acts by braking the
wheels with poor grip (or those slipping
more than the others), thereby transfer-
ring the drive force to those which have
more grip on the ground.
This function can be turned on manually
by pressing the T+ button located in the
dashboard (fig. 94) and operates
below a threshold of 30 km/h. When this
speed is exceeded, it is automatically de-
activated (the LED in the button remains
on) and it is reactivated as soon as the
speed goes below the level of 30 km/h.Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when starting
up. To activate the Traction Plus system,
press the T+ button (fig. 94): the LED in
the button will come on.
The activation of the Traction Plus system
involves the following functions being swit-
ched on:
❒inhibition of the ASR function, in order
to fully exploit the engine torque;
❒differential lock effect on the front ax-
le, via the braking system, to improve
drive on uneven surfaces.
If this is a problem with the Traction Plus
system the warning light
áin the instru-
ment panel will come on constantly.

LIGHT STAYS ON: LOW
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
(red)
FLASHING LIGHT: EXHAUSTED
ENGINE OIL
(only Multijet versions with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR
(ON), the warning light switches on and
should go out as soon as the engine is
started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light turns on and stays on
constantly (for versions/markets, where
provided) along with the message on the
display when the system detects that en-
gine oil pressure is low.ESP / TRACTION PLUS
SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
Turning the ignition key to MARthe
warning light turns on, but it should go off
after few seconds.
If the warning light does not go off or stays
on when travelling together with the but-
ton led ASR OFF, contact Fiat Dealership.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.
NoteWarning light flashing when driving
indicates that the ESP system is active.
áIf the warning light vturns on when the vehicle is
travelling (on certain versions to-
gether with the message on the dis-
play) stop the engine immediately
and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
2. Exhausted engine oil
(only Multijet versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific
message will appear on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided). The
warning light may flash in the following
ways, depending on the version:
– for 1 minute every two hours;
– for 3 minute cycles with the warning
light off for intervals of 5 seconds until oil
is changed.
After the initial warning, each time the en-
gine is started up, the warning light will
continue to flash in the above mentioned
modes, until the oil is changed. A specific
message will appear on the display (for
versions/markets, where provided) in ad-
dition to the warning light.
If the warning light flashes, this does not
mean that the car is defective but simply
informs the driver that it is now necessary
to change the oil as a result of regular ve-
hicle use.Note that engine oil is exhausted faster
under the following circumstances:
– use of the vehicle prevalently for city dri-
ving, requiring more frequent regenera-
tion of DPF
– use of the vehicle for short drives, in
which the engine does not have time to
reach its regular operating temperature
– repeated interruption of the regenera-
tion process, signalled by the DPF warn-
ing light coming on.
Exhausted engine oil should
be replaced as soon as pos-
sible after the warning light comes on,
never more than 500 km after the
warning light first comes on. Failure
to change the oil within the first 500
km may result in severe damage to
the engine and will result in forfeiture
of the warranty. Remember that
when the warning light flashes, it does
not mean that the level of engine oil
is low, so if the light flashes you must
not top up.
