ESC (Electronic
Stability Control)
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
IN BRIEF
This is an electronic system that
controls vehicle stability in the
event of tyre grip loss, helping to
maintain directional control.
The ESC system is therefore
particularly useful when grip
conditions of road surfaces
change.
The MSR system (adjustment of
the engine braking torque during
gear changes) and the HBA
system (automatic increase in the
braking pressure during
emergency braking) are present
with ESC, ASR and Hill Holder
systems (for versions/markets
where provided).SYSTEM
INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of
the
warning light in the instrument
panel, to inform the driver that the
vehicle is in critical stability and grip
conditions.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The ESC system is automatically
activated when the vehicle is
started.
FAULT INDICATIONS
In the event of a fault, the ESC will
be automatically switched off and
the
warning light will come on
permanently on the instrument panel
along with a message on the
multifunction display (for versions/
markets where provided) (see
"Warning lights and messages"
section). The LED on the ASR OFF
button will also light up. Contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
58)
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the
ESC system and facilitates starting
on slopes. It is automatically
activated in the following conditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient higher than 5%,
engine running, brake pressed and
gearbox in neutral or gear (other than
reverse) engaged;
❒downhill: vehicle stationary on a road
with a gradient higher than 5%,
engine running, brake pressed and
reverse gear engaged.
When setting off, the ESC system
control unit maintains the braking
pressure at the wheels until the
torque necessary for starting is
reached, or in any case for a
maximum of 1.75 seconds, allowing
your right foot to be moved easily
from the brake pedal to the
accelerator.
If the vehicle has not departed after
1.75 seconds, the system will
deactivate automatically by gradually
releasing the brake force.
112
SAFETY
During this release stage, the typical
brake disengagement noise
indicating that the vehicle is going to
move imminently will be heard.
Fault indications
Any system fault is indicated by the
turning on of the
warning light on
the instrument panel with digital
display and the
warning light on
the instrument panel with
multifunction display (for versions/
markets where provided) (see
section “Warning lights and
messages”).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system
is not a parking brake, therefore
do not leave the vehicle without
activating the handbrake, switching
off the engine and engaging first
gear.
59)
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip
Regulator)
This is a traction control system that
cuts in automatically every time
one or both drive wheels slip.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.
The action of the ASR system is
particularly helpful in the following
circumstances:
❒slipping of the inner wheel on bends
due to dynamic variations in the load
or excessive acceleration;
❒excessive power transmitted to the
wheels, also in relation to road
surface conditions;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy
road surfaces;
❒loss of grip on wet road surfaces
(aquaplaning).
MSR system (engine
drive regulation)
This is a system that, in the event of
a sudden gear down shift, cuts in
and provides torque to the engine
thus preventing excessive drive
wheel drive 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.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be
switched off and subsequently
switched on again by pressing the
fig. 118 button on the dashboard.
Switching off is shown by the
warning light on the instrument
panel switching on and a dedicated
message shown in the multifunction
display, where provided.
If the ASR is switched off when
driving, it is automatically switched
on again when the vehicle is started
up.
113
TRACTION PLUS
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful
for setting off in poor grip conditions
(snow, ice, mud, etc.) which allows
the drive force to be distributed in
the best way over the front axle
when one wheel is slipping.
Traction Plus acts by braking the
wheels with poor grip (or those
slipping more than the others),
thereby transferring the drive force
to those which have greater grip on
the ground.
This function can be activated
manually by pressing the A fig. 147
button on the control panel and
operates under 50 km/h. When this
speed is exceeded, it is
automatically deactivated and it is
reactivated again when the speed
falls below 50 km/h.Traction Plus
operation
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the Traction Plus
system press the A fig. 147 button.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system involves the following
functions being switched on:
❒inhibition of the ASR function, in
order to fully exploit the engine
torque;
❒the differential locking effect on the
front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction
on irregular grounds.
If the Traction Plus system is faulty,
the
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on
constantly.
PARKING SENSORS
These are located in the rear
bumper fig. 148 and their function is
to inform the driver, through an
intermittent beeping noise, about
the presence of obstacles behind
the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically
activated when reverse is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle
gets closer to the bumper, the
frequency of the acoustic signal
increases.

STARTING AND DRIVING
Driving style
❒Afterstarting the engineyou
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.
❒Avoidpointless actionssuch 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.
❒Gear selection:select a high gear
as soon as possible (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.❒Vehicle speed:fuel consumption
increases exponentially as the speed
of the vehicle increases. Keep your
speed moderate and as even as
possible, avoiding 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.
❒Acceleration:accelerating violently
severely affects consumption and
emissions. Acceleration should
be gradual and should not exceed
the maximum engine torque rate.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold
starts do not allow the engine to
reach optimum operating
temperature.
This results in a significant increase
in consumption levels (from +15
to +30% on the urban cycle) and
emissions.Traffic and road
conditions
Rather high consumption levels are
linked to situations with heavy traffic,
for instance when travelling in
queues with frequent use of the
lower gears or in cities with many
traffic lights. Winding mountain
roads and rough road surfaces also
adversely affect consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g.
level crossings) the engine should
be switched off.
