❒downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake
pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.
At pickup the
ESPsystem control unit will maintain the
braking pressure at the wheels until the necessary torque
for starting is reached or, in any case, for a maximum of
2 seconds in order to move easily from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal. When two seconds have
elapsed, without starting, the system is automatically
deactivated, gradually releasing the braking pressure.
During this release stage, the typical brake
disengagement noise indicating that the vehicle is going
to move imminently will be heard.
Failure warning
The
áwarning light in the instrument panel will come
on in the event of a failure (see “Warning lights and
messages” section).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake; therefore, never leave the vehicle without having
engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off and
engaged first gear. FAILURE WARNING
In the event of a failure, the ESP will be automatically
switched off and the áwarning light will come on
constantly in the instrument panel along with a message
in the multifunction display (for versions/markets where
provided) (see “Warning lights and messages” section).
The LED in the ASR OFF button will light up. Contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if this happens.
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with an ESP system.
Your driving style must always be suited to the
road conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver
is ultimately responsible for road safety.
WARNING
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the
ESPsystem and it is
provided to facilitate starting on hills.
It is automatically activated in the following conditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, clutch and brake
pedal pressed, gearbox in neutral or gear other than
reverse engaged;
For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be
the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size specified.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis)
allows continuous diagnosis of emission-related
components on the vehicle.
It also alerts the driver, by turning on the
Uwarning
light on the instrument panel (together with a relevant
message in the multifunction display, for versions/
markets where provided) (see “Warning lights and
messages” section), when these components are no
longer in peak condition.
The goal of the system is to:
❒keep the system efficiency under control;
❒warn about increased emissions due to a vehicle
malfunction;
❒warn of the need to replace deteriorated
components.
The system also has a diagnostic connector that can be
interfaced with appropriate equipment, which makes it
possible to read the error codes stored in the control
unit together with a series of specific parameters for
engine operation and diagnosis. This check can also be
carried out by traffic control authorities.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the problem, to check
the system completely, Fiat Dealerships run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for
a long journey.
If, when the ignition key is turned to the
MAR-ON position, the Uwarning light
either does not come on or, when driving,
it comes on constantly or flashing (along with
a message in the multidirection display,
for
versions/markets where provided
) contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible. The operation of
the warning light Umay be checked by the
traffic control authorities using specific devices.
Always comply with the traffic regulations in
force in the country where you are driving.

Detection distances
Central action range: 140 cm ±10 cm
Side action range: 60 cm ±20 cm
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only the
nearest one is considered.
FAILURE WARNING
Any parking sensor failures will be indicated when
engaging reverse by the
twarning light in the instrument
panel together with the message in the multifunction
display coming on for versions/markets where provided
(see “Warning lights and messages” section).
PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets where provided)
The parking sensors are located in the rear bumper,
fig. 136 and their function is to inform the driver,
through an intermittent buzzer, about the presence of
obstacles behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when the
reverse gear is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer to the
bumper, the beeping becomes more frequent.
WARNING BUZZER
When reverse gear is engaged an intermittent beeping is
automatically activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance increases;
❒remains constant if the distance remains unchanged;
if this situation concerns the side sensors, the
buzzer will stop after about 3 seconds to avoid,
for example, warning indications in the event of
manoeuvres along walls.

S.B.R. SYSTEM
The vehicle is fitted with a Seat Belt Reminder system
(S.B.R.), consisting of a buzzer and a flashing warning
light
that the seat belt must be fastened.
The buzzer can be deactivated (until the next engine
stop) as follows:
❒fasten the driver’s seat belt;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR-ON;
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then release one of the
seat belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact the Fiat Dealership.

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of a collision, all
passengers must be seated and wearing adequate
restraint systems. This is even more important for
children. This prescription is compulsory in all EU
countries pursuant to Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with adults, a child’s head is proportionally
larger and heavier than the rest of the body, while
muscles and bone structure are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems are necessary
which are different from adult seat belts. The results of
research in relation to the best protection for children
is summarised in European Regulation EEC-R44, which
divides the restraint systems into five groups in addition
to making their use compulsory:
Group 0 up to 10 kg of weight
Group 0+ up to 13 kg of weight
Group 1 9–18 kg in weight
Group 2 15–25 kg in weight
Group 3 22–36 kg of weight
As you can see, the groups overlap partly and, in fact,
there are devices on sale that cover more than one
weight group. All child restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the control mark,
on a label solidly fixed to the seat which must never be
removed.
Do not place a cradle seat facing
backwards on the front seat if the
passenger side airbag is on. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the baby regardless of the severity of the
collision. It is advisable to always carry children
in dedicated child seats on the rear seat, which
is the most protected position in the event of an
accident.
WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER Should it be
absolutely necessary to carry a child on
the front seat in a backwards-facing
child seat, the passenger’s front and side
airbags must be deactivated through the
setup menu. Deactivation can be verified by
checking the Fwarning light on the
instrument panel. Move the passenger’s seat as
far back as possible to avoid contact between
the child seat and the dashboard.

INDEX
Below is a summary of the rules of safety to be
followed for carrying children:
1) The recommended position for installing child seats
is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected area in
the event of a crash.
2) If the passenger’s air bag is deactivated always check
the amber warning light on the control panel to make
sure that it has actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system which are mandatory by law.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle along with the other
papers and this handbook. Do not use second-hand
child seats without instructions.
4) Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
5) Only one child is to be strapped into each retaining
system; never carry two children using one child seat.
6) Always check that the seat belts do not restrain the
child’s throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly
or release the belts.
8) Never carry children on your lap, even newborns.
No-one, however strong, can restrain a child in the
event of an accident.
9) In the event of an accident, replace the child’s seat
with a new one.
Do not place a cradle seat facing
backwards on the front seat if the
passenger side airbag is on. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the baby regardless of the severity of the
collision. It is advisable to carry children in an
appropriate restraint system on the rear seat
which is the most protected position in the
event of an accident.
WARNING
“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX”
CHILD RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY SETUP
Provision has been made on the vehicle to fit
a Universal Isofix child restraint system, a new European
standardised system for carrying children safely. An
example of a child seat is shown in fig. 152. Due to its
different anchoring system, the Universal Isofix child’s
seat must be secured using the special lower metal rings
A-fig. 153, positioned between rear backrest and
cushion. The upper belt (provided with the child’s seat)
must be then secured to ring B-fig. 154 located in the
lower part of the seat. It is possible to have a mixed
assembly of traditional child seats and Universal Isofix
seats.
Remember that, in the case of Universal Isofix child
seats, you can use all those seats bearing the marking
ECE R44/03 Universal Isofix.

SIDE BAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front side bags for driver and
passenger (for versions/markets where provided) for
protecting the chest and window bags (for versions/
markets where provided) for protecting front and rear
passengers’ heads.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) protect
occupants from side impacts of medium-high severity, by
placing the bag between the occupant and the internal
parts of the side structure of the vehicle. Non-activation
of side bags in other types of collisions (head-on
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not an
indication of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate
in the event of a side impact. The bags inflate
instantaneously placing themselves between the
occupants’ bodies and the structures which could cause
injury. They deflate immediately afterwards.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) are not
a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always wear, as specified by
law in Europe and most non-European countries.
FRONT SIDE BAGS – CHEST AND PELVIS
ZONE fig. 157 (for versions/markets where provided)
Housed in the seats’ backrests, they consist of an
instantly-inflating bag designed to protect the occupants’
chest and pelvis zone in the event of a side impact of
medium-high severity. MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER’S
FRONT AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG CHEST
PROTECTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
Whenever a child needs to be carried on the front seat,
the passenger’s front airbag and the Side Bag chest
protection (for versions/markets where provided) must
be deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
Fwill switch on
constantly until the passenger’s front air bag and Side
Bag (chest protection) are reactivated (for versions/
markets where provided).
To deactivate the passenger’s front air
bag and the side bag (chest protection)
(for versions/markets where provided), refer to
paragraphs “Digital display” and “Multifunction
display” in section “Dashboard and controls”.
