REAR CEILING LIGHTS WITH REMOVABLE
TO RC H
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The light comes on automatically when you open the
sliding side doors (for versions/markets where
provided) and the rear swing doors, and goes out
when you close them.
Press switch A fig. 43 to turn the light on/off with
the doors closed.
Switch A can be set to three different positions:
❒switch in central position (position 0), light comes
on when a door is opened;
❒switch pushed up (position 1), light is always on;
❒switch pushed down (position2-AUTOOFF),
light is always off.TORCH FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is located on the right side of the load
compartment. It is used as both a fixed light and a
portable electric torch.
To use the removable torch A fig. 44, push button B
and remove the torch in the direction shown by
the arrow. Then press switch C to switch the light
on/off.
When the removable light is secured to its fixed
support, the electric torch battery is automatically
recharged.
With the vehicle stationary and the ignition key
either turned to STOP or removed, the courtesy
light is recharged for a maximum of 15 minutes.

WINDOWS
FRONT ELECTRIC WINDOWS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Buttons fig. 61 are located on the driver's door panel
to control the following functions with the key on:
A: Opening/closing left window
B: Opening/closing right window
Push button A or B to open/close the appropriate
window.
When one of the two buttons is pressed briefly, the
window moves in stages; if the button is held down,
"continuous automatic" operation is activated both
for closing and opening. Press button A or B again to
stop the window in its current position.
The electric windows are fitted with a security
system (for versions/markets, where provided) that
can detect the presence of an obstacle whilst thewindow is closing; when this happens, the system
kicks in and the movement of the glass is
immediately reversed.
IMPORTANT The system will automatically enter
“recovery” mode (self-protection) if the anti-crushing
function is activated 5 times in only one minute.
This condition is apparent because the window
closing in stages.
If this occurs, restore the system as follows:
❒open the windows;
or
❒turn the key off (STOP position) and then on
(MAR).
If no malfunction is present, the window returns to
its normal operation automatically.
IMPORTANT With the key off or removed, the
windows remain activated for about two minutes and
are deactivated as soon a door is opened.

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
the 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
It is signalled by the blinking of the instrument panel
warning light
, to inform the driver that the car
is in critical stability and grip conditions.
Switching the system on
The ESP system is automatically activated when the
vehicle is started and cannot be de-activated.Failure indications
In the event of a failure, the ESP will be automatically
switched off and the
warning light will come on
permanently on the instrument panel along with
a message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets, where provided) (see “Warning
lights and messages” section). The LED on the ASR
OFF button will also light up. Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
y
our vehicle is fitted with an ESP
system.Your driving style should always take
road conditions, visibility and traffic into
account .The driver is always responsible for
road safety.

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It's integral to the ESP system. It automatically
activates with the following conditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, brake pedal
pressed and gearbox in neutral or gear other than
reverse;
❒downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a
gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake
pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.
At pickup the ESP system control unit will keep
brake force on wheels until reaching the torque
suitable for starting, or in any case for max. 2
seconds in order to pass easily from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal.
When 2 seconds have elapsed, without any
departure having taken place, 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 indications
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 the first gear.WARNING
For the correct operation of the ESP and
A
SR systems, the tyres must be the
same make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size recommended.
ASR SYSTEM (Anti-Slip Regulation)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a traction control system that cuts in
automatically every time one or both drive wheels
slip.
Depending on how slippery the road is, two different
control systems are activated:
❒if slipping involves both driving wheels, the ASR
function intervenes reducing the power
transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping only involves one of the drive
wheels, it intervenes automatically braking the
wheel that is slipping.
The action of the ASR system is especially useful in
the following conditions:
❒slipping of the inner wheel round bends due to
dynamic variations in the load of excessive
acceleration;
❒excessive power transmitted to the wheels, also in
relation to road surface conditions;

❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy road
surfaces;
❒in the case of loss of grip on a wet surface
(aquaplaning).
WARNING
For the correct operation of the ESP and
A
SR systems, the tyres must be the
same make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size recommended.
MSR SYSTEM (engine drive regulation)
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.
Engagement/ disengagement of the ASR
system
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. 90located among the
controls in the dashboard.The switching off is shown by the LED in the actual
switch coming on together with a message shown
in the multifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided).
If the ASR is switched off when driving, it is
automatically switched on again when the vehicle is
started up.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it
may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these
conditions, the driving wheels skidding when moving
off gives you better traction.
WARNING
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
y
our vehicle is fitted with this system.
Your driving style must always be suited to the
road conditions, visibility and traffic .
The driver is always responsible for road safety.

For the correct operation of the ASR system, 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.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ASR system will be
automatically switched off and warning light
will
appear permanently on the instrument panel along
with a message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where provided) (see “Warning
lights and messages”). In this case, contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
TRACTION PLUS SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Traction Plus is a help with driving and setting 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 transferring the drive force to those
which have more grip on the ground.
This function can be turned on manually by pressing
the T+ button fig. 91 on the dashboard and works
below a level of 30 km/h. Over this speed, it is
automatically deactivated (the LED on the button is
still on) and it is reactivated again when the speed
is below 30 km/h.
