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 direc-
tional 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 downshifts) and the HBA system (automatic
increase in the braking pressure during emergency brak-
ing) 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 in-
strument 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 vehi-
cle 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.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions equipped with
ESP, in the event of ESP system failure (indicated by warn-
ing light
ácoming on together with the message in the
multifunction display, where provided).
When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your
foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop
in the shortest distance possible under the road
conditions at the time.

INDEX
At pick-up, the ESP system control unit will maintain the
braking pressure at the wheels until the necessary engine
torque for moving away is reached or, in any case, for a
maximum of 1.75 seconds in order to move easily from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
If the vehicle has not departed after this time, the system
will deactivate automatically by gradually releasing the brak-
ing pressure.
During this release stage, the typical brake disengagement
noise indicating that the vehicle is going to move immi-
nently will be heard.
Failure indications
System failure is indicated by the turning on of warning
light
*in the instrument panel with digital display and
warning light
áin the instrument panel with multifunction
display (for versions/markets where provided) (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
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.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ESP will be automatically
switched off and the
áwarning light will come on per-
manently in the instrument panel along with a message in
the multifunction display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) (see “Warning lights and messages” section). The
LED on the ASR OFF button will also light up. Contact the
Fiat Service Network 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 al-
ways ultimately responsible for road safety.
WARNING
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the ESP system and facilitates
hill starts. It is automatically activated in the following con-
ditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient high-
er 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 per cent, engine running, brake pedal de-
pressed and reverse gear 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 drive regulator)
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 dri-
ve 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
by pressing switch fig. 101, which can be found between
the front seats to the side of the handbrake lever.
When the ASR is switched off, this is shown by the LED
on the switch coming on and by the relevant message ap-
pearing on the multifunction display, where provided.
ASR SYSTEM (Anti-slip Regulator)
This is a traction control system that cuts in automatical-
ly every time one or both drive wheels slip.
Depending on the slipping conditions, two different con-
trol systems are activated:
❒if both drive wheels are slipping, the ASR function in-
tervenes by reducing the power transmitted by the en-
gine;
❒if the slipping only involves only one drive wheel, the
ASR system cuts in by automatically braking the wheel
that is slipping.
The action of the ASR system is especially useful in the fol-
lowing conditions:
❒slipping of the inner wheel when cornering due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or excessive accelera-
tion;
❒too much power transmitted to the wheels also in re-
lation to the conditions of the road surface;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy surfaces;
❒in the case of loss of grip on a wet surface (aquaplan-
ing).
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.

2. Avoid pointless actions such as revving up when at
traffic lights or before stopping the engine. The latter
action, like double-declutching, is unnecessary and
causes increased fuel consumption and pollution.
3. Gear selection: select a high gear as soon as possi-
ble (taking into account normal engine operation and
traffic conditions) without pushing the engine to high
revs during the intermediate gears. Using low gears
at high revs to get lively acceleration increases fuel
consumption, harmful emissions and engine wear.
4. Vehicle speed: fuel consumption increases expo-
nentially as the speed of the vehicle increases. Keep
your speed moderate and as even as possible, avoid-
ing unnecessary braking and acceleration, which
cause excessive fuel consumption and increased
emissions. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in
front helps to maintain a steady speed.
5. Acceleration: accelerating violently severely affects
consumption and emissions. Acceleration should be
gradual and should not exceed the maximum engine
torque rate.
5. Remove
roof racks or ski racks after use. These
accessories reduce the vehicle’s aerodynamic pene-
tration and have a negative effect on fuel consump-
tion.
6. It is better to use a trailer to transport particularly bulky objects.
7. Use the vehicle’s air vents if possible: travelling with the windows open impairs the aerodynamics.
8. Only use electrical devices for the amount of time needed. The heated rear window, auxiliary head-
lights, windscreen wipers and fan heater use up
a considerable amount of current, causing increased
fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
9. Using the climate control leads to higher fuel con- sumption (on average up to +30%). If the tempera-
ture outside is not too extreme, try and use the air
vents.
Driving style
1. After starting the engine you should drive away
immediately and slowly, avoiding high revs. Do not
warm up the engine at low or high revs when the
vehicle is stationary; this causes the engine to warm
up more slowly, thereby increasing fuel consumption,
emissions and mechanical component wear.
