❒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.
WARNING

F0N0119mfig. 131
PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets where provided)
The parking sensors are located in the rear bumper,
fig. 131 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.

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).OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is automatically disabled when
the electric cable plug of the trailer is fitted into the
vehicle tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically enabled again when the
trailer cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT If you wish to leave the tow hook fitted
without towing a trailer, it is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership for the relevant system update operations
because the tow hook could be detected as an obstacle
by the central sensors.
When using special washing equipment such as high
pressure jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors very
quickly keeping the jet more than 10 cm away.
