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
directional 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 changes) and the HBA system
(automatic increase in the braking pressure during
emergency braking) 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
instrument 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
vehicle 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.
The Brake Assist is deactivated on versions equipped
with ESP, in the event of an ESP system failure (indicated
by warning light
áswitching on together with the
message in the multifunction display, for
versions/markets where provided).
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, depending on the road conditions.

❒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.

MSR system
(engine braking torque control)
This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in the
event of a sudden gear down shift, cuts in and provides
torque to the engine thus preventing excessive drive
wheel drive which, especially in poor grip conditions,
can lead to a loss of stability. ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)
This is a traction control system that cuts in
automatically every time one or both drive wheels slip.
Depending on the slipping conditions, two different
control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the ASR
function intervenes by reducing the power
transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping only involves only one driving wheel,
the ASR system cuts in by automatically braking the
wheel that is slipping.
The action of the
ASRis particularly helpful in the
following circumstances:
❒slipping of the inner wheel when cornering due to
the effect of dynamic load changes or excessive
acceleration;
❒too much power transmitted to the wheels also in
relation to the conditions of the road surface;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy surfaces;
❒loss of grip on a wet surface (aquaplaning).
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.

Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when starting at traffic lights or
before switching off the engine. The latter action, like
doubling the clutch, is unnecessary and causes increase
of consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road conditions
allow. Using a low gear for faster acceleration will increase
consumption. In the same way improper use of a high gear
increases consumption, emissions an engine wear.
Max. speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed.
Keep your speed as even as possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which cause excessive fuel
consumption and increased emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently will greatly affect consumption and
emissions: acceleration should therefore be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum torque. Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount of time
needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore increasing the requirement
of current increases fuel consumption (up to +25% in
the urban cycle).
Climate control system
The climate control system is an additional load which
greatly affects the engine leading to higher consumption
(on average up to +20%). When the temperature
outside the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and consumption
levels.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the vehicle at a standstill or
at idle or high speed: under these conditions the engine
warms up much more slowly, increasing consumption and
emissions. It is therefore advisable to move off
immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds. This way the
engine will warm faster.
