INTERIOR FITTINGSSTORAGE COMPARTMENTS
Upper compartment
To open the compartment, press button A fig. 60
pushing it upwards and holding it down rotate the
flap as shown in the figure, until it reaches
"completely open" stop position.
IMPORTANT Do not insert objects of such a size
that the compartment cannot be completely closed.
Ensure that the compartment is completely closed
when driving.On some versions, the compartment may be cooled
by an air vent connected to the climate control
system (operate wheel B fig. 61 to adjust the air flow
rate inside the compartment).
The cooling function is only carried out with the
climate control system on.

ASR SYSTEM (AntiSlip Regulation)
It is an integral part of the ESC system. It
automatically operates in the event of one or both
drive wheels slipping, loss of grip on wet roads
(aquaplaning) and acceleration on slippery, snowy or
icy roads, etc…
Depending on the slipping conditions, two different
control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the ASR
intervenes reducing the power transmitted by the
engine;
❒if the slipping only involves one of the drive
wheels, it intervenes automatically braking the
wheel that is slipping.
Activation/deactivation of the ASR system
The ASR system activates automatically each time
the engine is started.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be deactivated and
subsequently activated again by pressing the ASR
OFF button fig. 109.
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display.
When the system is deactivated, the LED on the
button ASR OFF turns on and, on some versions, a
message appears on the display.
If the ASR is disengaged during driving, this is
automatically reactivated at the following car starting.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains,
it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these
conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when moving
off makes it possible to obtain better traction.
WARNING
For the ESC and ASR systems to operate
correctly, all four tyres must , above all,
be the prescribed brand and type, they must be
in excellent condition and feature the
prescribed type and size.
WARNING
The ESC functions even when the
space-saver wheel is being used. Always
remember that the space-saver wheel, being
smaller than the original wheel, provides less
grip.

SNOW TYRESUse snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres
provided with the car.
A Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice
concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the
customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures
and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph "Wheels" in section
"Technical specifications".
The winter performance of these tyres is
considerably reduced when the tread thickness is less
than 4 mm. Replace them in this case.
Due to the specific characteristics of snow tyres, in
normal weather conditions or on long motorway
journeys, the performance of these tyres is lower
than that of standard tyres.
Their usage should therefore be restricted in
accordance with their type-approval; always comply
with specific local regulations relating to the use
of snow tyres.
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track)
to ensure greater safety when driving and braking
and better driveability. Remember that you should
not change the rotation direction of the tyres.
WARNING
The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked "Q" is 160 km/h, while it is 190
km/h for "T" tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres.
The highway code speed limits must however
always be complied with.

SNOW CHAINSThe use of snow chains should be in compliance with
local regulations.
Snow chains may be fitted to the tyres of the front
wheels (drive wheels) only.
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first
few metres have been driven.
17" tyres cannot be fitted with chains. For other
tyres (15" and 16") fit only reduced size snow chains
with a maximum projection of 9 mm beyond the
tyre profile.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided). If a front tyre is punctured, replace a rear
wheel with the space-saver wheel and move the
rear wheel to the front axle. In this way, with two
normal drive wheels at the front, snow chains can be
fitted.
Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pavements and avoid
driving for long distances on roads not covered
with snow to prevent damaging the car and
the roadbed.
STORING THE CARIf the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be followed:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible
well-ventilated premises and slightly open
the windows;
❒engage a gear and check that the handbrake is not
engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal (for
versions with Start&Stop system refer to the
paragraph "Start&Stop system" in the chapter
"Knowing your car"); If the battery is not
disconnected the from the electrical system, check
its charge every thirty days;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds available commercially;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen
and rear window wiper blades and lift them off the
glass;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic
as they do not allow moisture on the car body
to evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the standard
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.
