Exceeding the programmed speed
Pressing on the accelerator pedal in order
to exceed the programmed speed will have
no effect, except if you press hard on the
pedal and you exceed the resistance point.
The restrictor is temporarily deactivated
and the programmed speed flashes.
In order to return to the restrictor func-
tion, reduce the speed until reaching a val-
ue inferior to the programmed speed.
Flashing of the speed indicator
The speed indicator flashes:
❒After having forced the accelerator re-
sistance point
❒When the restrictor cannot prevent
the increasing of the speed of the ve-
hicle due to the shape of the road or
due to a steep hill
❒In case of a powerful acceleration.Function Arrest
Move the knob to the 0position or take
out the starting key in order to arrest the
system. The last programmed speed is
memorised.Functioning Anomaly
The programmed speed is cancelled and
substituted by three dashes.
Please seek advice from the Fiat Dealer-
ship in order to have the system checked.
For a correct usage
The restrictor cannot, under any circum-
stances, substitute the respect of the
speed limit, nor the alertness and the re-
sponsibility of the driver. Be careful of the
shape of the road and powerful accelera-
tions. In order to hinder the functioning
of the pedals:
– Check that the car mat is in the correct
position
– Do not overlap several car mats.

AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT
The controls fig.110are located in the
bottom rear of the vehicle.
If the vehicle is fitted with pneumatic sus-
pensions with automatic adjustment, the
system will adjust automatically the height
of the vehicle according to the load.
The warning light
…on the instrument
panel will blink when the height level is not
adequate and is to be adjusted: in this case
let the engine run without accelerating un-
til the warning light turns off (optimum
suspension adjustment).
Under certain conditions it could be tem-
porarily not possible to perform the re-
quired adjustment:
❒one or more doors open;
❒vehicle braked (brake pedal pressed,
e.g. stop at red light).
Turning the system off
and on again
To turn the system off: keep button A-
fig. 110pressed until hearing the beep.
Double beep and button led Aturning on
will confirm deactivation.Once the system is deactivated, to reac-
tivate it (only with vehicle stationary) keep
button A-fig. 110pressed until hearing
the beep. Double beep and button led A
turning on will confirm reactivation.

LOAD
RECOMMENDATIONS
This vehicle has been designed and ap-
proved on the basis of several set maxi-
mum weights (see the tables “Weights” in
section “Technical Specifications”):
❒kerb weight;
❒payload;
❒total weight;
❒max. load on front axle;
❒max. load on rear axle;
❒towable load.
Each of these limits must be
borne in mind and MUST
NEVER BE EXCEEDED under any cir-
cumstances. In particular, never ex-
ceed the maximum weight permitted
on the front and rear axles when ar-
ranging loads in the vehicle (espe-
cially for special version vehicles).

FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>on the instrument pan-
el together with the message on the mul-
tifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided), (see section “Warning
lights and messages”).
In this case the braking system is still effi-
cient, though without the aid of the ABS
system. Drive carefully to the closest Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance
integral with ESP)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The system, which cannot be cut out, rec-
ognizes emergency braking (on the ground
of the brake pedal operation speed) and
considerably increases the pressure in the
brake circuit.
Brake Assist is deactivated on vehicles
equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP sys-
tem failure (indicated by the switching on
of warning light
™).
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.
WARNING
EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>, xand STOP on the
instrument panel together with the mes-
sage on the multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided), (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case with sharp braking the rear
wheels might lock too early, with the pos-
sibility of skidding. Drive extremely care-
fully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
If warning light xalone
comes on (together with the
message on the multifunction display,
for versions/markets, where provid-
ed), stop the vehicle immediately and
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
Fluid leaks from the hydraulic system,
in fact, can compromise the braking
system, both traditional systems and
systems with ABS.

ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the vehicle stability in the event
of tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road sur-
faces changes.
In addition to the ESP system and ASR sys-
tem, also the MSR system (adjusting the
engine braking torque) and the HBA sys-
tem (improving the braking force during
emergency braking) are provided.ESP SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The flashing led B-fig. 113present on the
button, is to inform the driver that the ve-
hicle is in critical conditions of road sta-
bility and adherence.
ESP SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
By pressing button A-fig. 113, situated on
the bridge of the central compartment, the
ESP system is deactivated.
The deactivation is signalled by the fixed
led light on the button.
The system is re-activated:
❒automatically, starting from 50 km/h
❒manually, by pressing the button again.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
In case of an eventual anomaly, the ESP
system automatically disconnects itself and
on the instrument panel the warning light
™is fixed, accompanied by a beeper and
a dedicated message on the display (see
chapter “Warning lights and messages”).
In which case please seek advice, as soon
as possible, from the Fiat Dealership.
Performance of the ESP sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility and traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.
WARNING
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulator)
The ASR system controls the vehicle
drive and cuts in automatically every
time one or both driving wheels slip.
In slipping conditions, two different con-
trol systems are activated:
❒ if slipping involves both driving wheels,
the ASR function intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping involves only one driving
wheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-
matically braking the wheel that is slip-
ping. The action of the ASR system is particu-
larly helpful in the following circumstances:
❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or ex-
cessive acceleration;
❒ too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the conditions
of the road surface;
❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces;
❒in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-
face (aquaplaning).
For correct operation of the
ESP and ASR systems, the
tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in per-
fect conditions and, above all, of
type, brand and size specified.

MSR system
(engine braking torque control)
It is an integral part of the ASR system that
in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in pro-
viding torque to the engine thus prevent-
ing excessive driving wheel drive that, spe-
cially in poor grip conditions, can lead to
loss of stability.Switching the system on/off
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
Switching the ESP system off will auto-
matically switch off the ASR system too.
When travelling, the ASR can be switched
off and on again by pressing switch Alo-
cated on the dashboard fig. 119.
When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led
B-fig. 119on the switch and by relevant
message on the multifunction display, for
versions/markets, where provided.
If the ASR is switched off when travelling,
it will turn on again automatically the next
time the engine is started.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the
ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slip-
ping of the driving wheels when moving off
makes it possible to obtain better drive.
The performance of the sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks.
The style of driving must in any case
always be adapted to the conditions
of the road surface, visibility and traf-
fic. Road safety is always the driver’s
responsibility.
WARNING
For correct operation of the ASR system,
the tyres must absolutely be of the same
brand and type on all wheels, in perfect
conditions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of malfunctioning, the ASR
system is automatically disconnected and
the warning light
™will come with fixed
light on the instrument panel, (see section
“Warning lights and messages”).
In this case contact Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.

PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 114and their function is to
inform the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the vehicle.
In order to deactivate the parking sensors,
press button A-fig. 115present between
the commands on the bridge of the cen-
tral compartment. The deactivation is sig-
nalled by the lighting of the led Bon the
button.
In order to re-activate them, press button
Aagain.
When the distance from the obstacle sit-
uated behind the vehicle diminishes, it cor-
responds with an increase in the frequen-
cy of the beeping.
WARNING The condition of the parking
sensors (activated or deactivated) is mem-
orised upon switching off the engine.BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated.
The acoustic signal:
❒becomes louder as the distance be-
tween the vehicle and the obstacle de-
creases;
❒becomes continuous when the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is
less than 30 cm and stops immediately
if the distance raises;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried;
if this situation concerns the side sen-
sors, the buzzer will stop after about
3 seconds to avoid, for example, warn-
ing indications in the event of manoeu-
vres along walls.FAILURE INDICATIONS
Parking sensor failures, if any, will be in-
dicated when engaging reverse by the
buzzer and the turning on of led
B-fig. 115together with the message on
the display.
