For the correct operation of the ASR system, 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.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ASR will be automatically
switched off and warning light
áwill appear permanently
in the instrument panel along with a message in the mul-
tifunction display, where provided (see “Warning lights and
messages”). In this case, contact the Fiat Service Network
as soon as possible.
If the ASR is switched off during a journey, it comes back
on automatically when the engine is next started up.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it may
be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions,
the drive wheels slipping during take off gives you better
traction.
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your
vehicle is fitted with this system. Your dri-
ving style must always be suited to the road con-
ditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is always
ultimately responsible for road safety.

EOBD SY STE M
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) allows
continuous diagnosis of emission-related components on
the vehicle. It also alerts the driver, by turning on warn-
ing light U in the instrument panel (together with the rel-
evant message in the display on some versions), when
these components are no longer in peak condition (see
“Warning lights and messages” section).
The goal of the system is to:
❒keep the system efficiency under control;
❒warn about increased emissions due to a vehicle mal-
function;
❒warn of the need to replace deteriorated components.
The system also has a diagnostic connector that can be in-
terfaced with appropriate equipment, which makes it pos-
sible to read the error codes memorized in the control
unit together with a series of specific parameters for en-
gine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by traffic authorities.
WARNING After eliminating the problem, to check the
system completely, Fiat Service Network run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long
journey.
Go to the Fiat Service Network as soon
as possible if warning light
Udoes not
light up when the ignition key is turned to MAR
or if, while travelling, the warning light comes on
either permanently or flashing (along with a mes-
sage on the display on certain versions). The op-
eration of the
Uwarning light may be checked
by the traffic authorities using specific devices. Re-
spect the regulations in force in the country where
you are driving.
WARNING
SPEED BLOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
The vehicle is equipped with a speed limitation function
that can be set at the user’s request to one of four pre-
defined values: 90, 100, 110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function, contact the Fiat Ser-
vice Network.
Following the operation, a sticker will be applied to the
windscreen showing the top speed setting.
WARNING The speedometer could show a higher top
speed than the one set by the Dealership in accordance
with the regulations in force.

❒becomes continuous when the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than about 30 cm, and
stops immediately if the distance increases;
❒remains constant if the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle remains unchanged.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Parking sensor failures are indicated, when engaging re-
verse gear, by a three second beep.
PARKING SENSORS
These are located in the rear bumper fig. 102 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 reverse gear
is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer to the
bumper, the buzzer becomes more frequent.
BUZZER
The frequency of the buzzer:
❒increases as the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle;
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is automatically disabled when
the electric cable plug of the trailer is fitted into the vehi-
cle tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically enabled again when the trail-
er cable plug is removed.
The sensors must be clean of mud, dirt,
snow and ice in order for the system to
work. Be careful not to scratch or damage the sen-
sors while cleaning them. Avoid using dry, rough
or hard cloths. The sensors should be washed us-
ing clean water with the addition of car sham-
poo if necessary. 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.
WARNING

F0V0040mfig. 103
START&STOP SYSTEM
FOREWORD
The Start&Stop device automatically stops the engine each
time the vehicle is stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the vehicle by reducing fu-
el consumption, the emission of harmful gases and noise
pollution.
The system is activated each time the vehicle is started.
OPERATING MODES
Engine cut-out mode
WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION
With the vehicle stationary, the engine cuts out with the
gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal released.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, pay special attention to obstacles that
may be set above or below the sensors.
❒Sometimes, objects located very near the rear of the
vehicle are not detected and could therefore damage
the vehicle or be damaged themselves.
❒The signals sent out by the sensors can be altered by
dirt, snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by ul-
trasound systems (e.g. truck pneumatic brakes or pneu-
matic drills) near the vehicle.
❒The parking sensors work properly with the swing
doors closed. If they are open, they can cause the sys-
tem to send false signals: always close the rear doors.
The ultimate responsibility when parking
and carrying out other dangerous ma-
noeuvres still rests with the driver. When park-
ing, make sure that no-one is standing in the area,
especially children or animals. Parking sensors are
designed to assist drivers; however, you must al-
ways concentrate fully during potentially danger-
ous manoeuvres, even if carried out at low speeds.

WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
The engine cuts out if the vehicle stops with the brake ped-
al pressed.
This condition can be maintained even if the brake pedal
is not depressed, if the gear lever is in position N.
N.B.: The engine can only be stopped automatically after
a speed of about 10 Km/h is reached, to prevent the en-
gine from being repeatedly stopped when driving at walk-
ing pace.
The engine being stopped is signalled by a symbol fig. 103
on the display, depending on the trim level.
Engine restarting mode
WITH NORMAL TRANSMISSION
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine.
WITH ROBOTIZED GEARBOX
If the gear lever is in position N, place it in any other gear,
otherwise release the brake pedal or move the gear le-
ver to (
+), (–) or R.
F0V0039mfig. 104
MANUAL ACTIVATION AND
DEACTIVATION
The device can be activated/deactivated via button A-fig.
104 located to the side of the handbrake. When the func-
tion is not active, the button LED is on.
In addition, on some versions, additional information con-
cerning the deactivation or activation of the Start&Stop
system is given through a message in the display.
FAILED ENGINE CUT-OUT CONDITIONS
With the device activated, for reasons of comfort, limiting
emissions and safety, the engine does not stop in certain
conditions, including:
❒engine still cold;
❒particularly cold outside temperatures, where the ap-
propriate indication is provided;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;

❒vehicle in motion, for example when driving on hilly
roads;
❒stopping the engine through the Start&Stop system for
more than about three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system for establishing a
comfortable temperature or enabling the MAX – DEF
function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can only be automatical-
ly restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal. The dri-
ver is asked to perform this operation through the warn-
ing light flashing in the instrument panel fig. 103 and, where
provided, the message in the display.
N.B.: If the clutch is not depressed when the three min-
utes have elapsed since the engine was stopped, the en-
gine can only be restarted using the key.
N.B.: If you stall the engine, for example by releasing off
the clutch pedal quickly with gear engaged, if the
Start&Stop system is activated, the engine can be restart-
ed by fully depressing the clutch pedal or by putting the
gear lever into neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through the Start&Stop sys-
tem, if the driver unfastens his/her seat belt and opens the
driver’s side door or the passenger’s side door, the engine
can only be restarted using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition by a buzzer, through
the warning light flashing in the instrument panel fig. 103
and, where provided, by a message in the display.

ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
If, after the engine has been automatically restarted, the
driver does not take any action for a period of about 3 min-
utes, the Start&Stop system will definitively stop the en-
gine to avoid fuel consumption. The engine can only be
started using the key in such cases.
N.B.: In any case, it is possible to keep the engine running
by deactivating the Start&Stop system.
OPERATING IRREGULARITIES
In the case of malfunctions the Start&Stop system is dis-
abled. The driver is informed of the problem by the gen-
eral failure warning light A-fig. 105, where provided, com-
ing on with an information message and the system fail-
ure symbol B-fig. 105 in the control panel.
In this case, contact the Fiat Service Network. VEHICLE INACTIVITY
Versions with dummy pole fig. 106
If the vehicle is inactive, special care must be taken to dis-
connect the battery electrical power supply. This proce-
dure is carried out by disconnecting the rapid release neg-
ative terminal A from the negative false pole B because
there is a battery status monitoring sensor D at the neg-
ative battery pole C which should never be disconnected
except if the actual battery is replaced.
