Proceed as follows:
❒Hold the bonnet up with one hand and, with the oth-
er, remove rod C from housing E and fit it back into its
catch D;
❒Lower the bonnet to approximately 20 centimetres
from the engine compartment and let it drop. Make
sure that the bonnet is completely closed and not on-
ly fastened by the safety catch by trying to open it. If
it is not perfectly closed, do not try to press the bon-
net down but open it and repeat the procedure.
For safety reasons, the bonnet must al-
ways be perfectly closed while travelling.
Make sure that the bonnet is perfectly closed and
that the lock is engaged. If you discover whilst dri-
ving that the lock is not fully engaged, stop im-
mediately and close the bonnet in the correct
manner.

ABS SYSTEM
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an integral part of the braking system, which pre-
vents one or more wheels from locking or slipping re-
gardless of the road surface conditions and braking action,
giving the best control during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force Distribution)
completes the system, allowing the braking action to be
distributed between the front and rear wheels.
WARNING For maximum efficiency of the braking sys-
tem, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is needed: dur-
ing this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and pro-
longed braking.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has come into action
because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier: it means that the vehicle speed should be al-
tered to suit the type of road surface. Headlamp alignment adjustment
To adjust, press buttons Òandfig. 100 on the control
panel.
The display located on the instrument panel provides the
visual indication of the positions during the adjustment op-
eration.
Position 0 – one or two people in the front seats.
Position 1 – five people.
Position 2 – five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load stowed in
the luggage compartment.
WARNING Check the light beam alignment every time
the load transported changes.
FOG LIGHT DIRECTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
Contact the Fiat Service Network to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped headlamps are adjusted to work in the coun-
try where the vehicle was originally purchased. When in
countries where you drive on the other side of the road,
you need to alter the light beam direction by affixing a spe-
cially designed self-adhesive film in order not to dazzle the
vehicles travelling in the opposite direction. This film is
provided by Lineaccessori Fiat and is available at Fiat Ser-
vice Network.
When the ABS intervenes and you notice
the brake pedal pulsating, do not be afraid
to keep the pedal pushed down. This will help you
to stop in the shortest distance possible, depend-
ing on the road conditions.

EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by warning lights
>andxin the
instrument panel coming on (together with the appropri-
ate message on the multifunction display on some versions)
(see “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the ve-
hicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive carefully
to the nearest Fiat Service Network to have the system
checked.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by warning light
>in the instru-
ment panel coming on (together with the appropriate mes-
sage on the multifunction display on some versions) (see
“Warning lights and messages”).
In the case, the braking system will work as normal with-
out the extra capacity offered by the ABS system. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat Service Network to have the
system checked.
If the ABS intervenes, it means you have
almost reached the grip limit between the
tyres and the road surface: slow down to make
sure you can use the available grip.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most out of the available
grip, but it cannot increase it; you must
therefore always take care when driving on slip-
pery roads. Do not take any unnecessary risks.
WARNING
If only warning light xlights up in the in-
strument panel (with a message in the
multifunction display on some versions), stop the
vehicle immediately and contact the nearest Fiat
Service Network. Fluid leaking from the hydraulic
system will compromise the operation of the brak-
ing system, whether it is of the conventional type
or with ABS.

ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability Program)
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an electronic system that controls vehicle stability
in the event of tyre grip loss, helping to maintain direc-
tional control.
The ESP system is therefore particularly useful when grip
conditions of road surfaces change.
The MSR system (adjustment of the engine braking torque
during gear downshifts) and the HBA system (automatic
increase in the braking pressure during emergency brak-
ing) are present with ESP, ASR and Hill Holder systems
(for versions/markets where provided).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of warning light
áin the in-
strument panel, to inform the driver that the vehicle is in
critical stability and grip conditions.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESP system is automatically activated when the vehi-
cle is started and cannot be de-activated. BRAKE ASSIST (emergency braking assistance
integrated in ESP)
(for versions/markets where provided)
This system (which cannot be deactivated) recognises
emergency braking conditions according to the speed of
operation of the brake pedal and provides an additional
hydraulic braking pressure to support that provided by the
driver. This allows faster and more powerful operation
of the braking system.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions equipped with
ESP, in the event of ESP system failure (indicated by warn-
ing light
ácoming on together with the message in the
multifunction display, where provided).
When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your
foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop
in the shortest distance possible under the road
conditions at the time.
