WARNING
If the remote control battery is flat , the
sys
tem can be engaged by inser ting
the metal key in the door lock as described
previously: in this case, the device only remains
active for the rear doors.
Switching the device on
The system is automatically enabled on all the doors
by pressing button
twice on the key with remote
control.
The direction indicators flash twice to let you know
that the device is active.
If one or more of the doors is not perfectly shut, the
dead lock device will not be activated, thus
preventing a person getting into the car through the
open door and, on shutting, it, remaining stuck
inside the passenger compartment.
Switching the device off
The system is disabled automatically on every door
when:
❒by unlocking the doors;
❒by turning the ignition key to the ON position.
ALARM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The alarm, in addition to all the previously described
remote control functions, is controlled by the
receiver located under the dashboard near the fuse
box.
ALARM TRIPPING
The alarm trips in the following cases:
❒unauthorised opening of a door, the bonnet, the
tailgate or a sliding side door (if present)
(perimeter protection)
❒unauthorized operation of the starting device (key
turned on using a key that is not enabled)
❒cutting of the battery leads
❒moving presence inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection)
❒anomalous lifting/tilting of the vehicle.
Depending on the market, the activation of the alarm
causes the activation of the siren and the direction
indicators (for about 26 seconds). Alarm tripping and
the number of cycles depend on the sales market.
There are a maximum number of acoustic/visual
cycles. When this is reached the system returns to
normal operation.
Volumetric and antilifting protections are disabled by
pressing the control button installed on the front
dashboard (see paragraph "Antilift protections).

With the twist switch at, the windscreen wiper
will automatically adapt to the speed of the vehicle.
With the windscreen wipers working, if reverse gear
is engaged, the rear window wiper is automatically
activated.
Do not use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to excessive
stress, prompting intervention from the motor
protection which prevents operation for a few
seconds. Contact the Fiat Dealership if operation
is not restored.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel (temporary
position) to operate the windscreen washer jet.
Keeping the stalk pulled for more than half a second,
with just one movement it is possible to operate
the washer jet and the wiper at the same time.
The wiper stops working three strokes after the
stalk is released.
A further stroke after approx. 6 seconds completes
the wiping cycle.REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER

❒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.
