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.

CORRECT USE
OF THE VEHICLE
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used
with a max speed index below the one
that can be reached by the vehicle (in-
creased by 5%), place a notice in the pas-
senger’s compartment, plainly in the dri-
ver’s view which states the max permis-
sible speed of the snow tyres (as per EC
Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand
and track) to ensure greater safety when
driving and braking and better driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of tyres.SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains is regulated by the
legislation in force in the country the ve-
hicle is driven in.
Snow chains should only be applied to the
driving wheels (front wheels). We rec-
ommend using Lineaccessori Fiat snow
chains.
Check the tension of the chains after the
first few metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT With snow chains, use the
accelerator with extreme care to prevent
or to limit as much as possible slipping of
the driving wheels that could cause chain
breaking resulting in damages to the ve-
hicle body or mechanical components.
SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the
normal tyres provided with the vehicle.
Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide
advice concerning the most suitable type
of tyre for the customer’s requirements.
The winter features of these tyres are re-
duced considerably when the tread depth
is below 4 mm. In this case, they should
be replaced.
Due to the snow tyre features, under nor-
mal conditions of use or on long motor-
way journeys, the performance of these
tyres is lower than that of normal tyres. It
is therefore necessary to limit their use to
the purposes for which they are certified.
The max speed for snow
tyres with “Q” marking is
160 km/h; 190 km/h for tyres with “T”
marking and 210 km/h for tyres with
H marking. The Road Traffic Code
speed limits must however be always
strictly observed.

❒Remove the hub-cap by using the tool
supplied with the vehicle. Unscrew the
anti-theft bolt (versions with alloy
wheel rims) (one per wheel) by using
the tool supplied with the vehicle and
then the remaining bolts so as to re-
move the wheel;
❒Make sure the contact surfaces between
spare wheel and hub are clean so that
the fastening bolts will not come loose.
Fit the spare wheel making one of the
holes C-fig. 6coincide with pin B;
❒Tighten the 5 fastening bolts;
❒Turn the jack handle to lower the ve-
hicle and remove the jack;
❒Fasten bolts completely, working in a
criss-cross fashion as shown in fig. 7;
❒Refit the wheel cap (for versions/ mar-
kets, where provided).When you have finished:
❒Stove the flat tyre into the proper hous-
ing under the floor and tighten the lock-
ing bolt;
❒Refit the handle and the jack into the rel-
evant retaining system;
❒Refit the tool retaining system by tight-
ening it into the relevant seat by means
of the locking device.
IMPORTANT Check the inflation pres-
sure of the tyres and the spare wheel reg-
ularly.IMPORTANT You will need to change the
set of bolts if you want to change the type
of wheels fitted (alloy rims instead of steel
rims, and vice versa). You will have to
change the entire set of fastening bolts
with another set of suitably sized bolts.
You should keep the bolts and spare
wheel in case you decide to use the orig-
inal type of wheel later on.
