2016 FIAT TALENTO ABS

This position ensures optimum use on
crumbly terrain (sane, mud, dry leaves,
etc.). The "Traction +" mode makes use
of the traction control system functions.
The system automatically moves to
"Road" mode after 50 km/h and the
indicator light
on the instrument
panel turns off.
HILL HOLDER STARTING
ON AN INCLINE
ASSISTANCE
137)
Depending on the steepness, the
system helps the driver when
confronting an incline. It inhibits going
backwards, depending on the
steepness, intervening on the brakes
when the driver lifts his foot off the
brake to use the accelerator.System operation
It only functions when the gear lever is
not in idle and when the vehicle is
completely stopped (brake pedal
pressure).
WARNING
131)The brakes still work. However, abrupt
braking is dangerous, and for this reason
you need to stop immediately when traffic
allows. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
132)The ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those due to excessive speed on
corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
133)The capability of the ABS must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
134)For the correct operation of the ABS,
the tyres must of necessity be the same
make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the prescribed
type and dimensions.
135)The ESC system cannot alter the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase grip, which depends on the
condition of the road.136)These functions constitute an
additional contribution to safety in critical
driving conditions, allowing the driver to
adapt the vehicle's behaviour to the
trajectory set by the driver. However, these
functions cannot replace the driver. Nor so
they allow the the vehicle's driving limits to
be ignored, encouraging faster driving. As
a consequence, they do not exempt the
driver from normal driving care and
responsibility in case of an accident (the
driver must always pay close attention to
unexpected situation that could happen
while driving).
137)The assisted departure up a hill
cannot completely prevent the vehicle from
going backwards (steep inclines, etc.). The
driver can however use the brake pedal
and prevent the vehicle from going
backwards or forwards. Assisted departure
up a hill cannot be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal. This function
was not designed to immobilise the vehicle
permanently. If necessary, use the brake
pedal to stop the vehicle. The driver must
pay special attention to slippery surfaces or
poor grip and/or going uphill. Danger of
serious injury.
IMPORTANT
22)When replacement is needed, only
tyres of the same brand, size, type and
structure can be mounted on the vehicle.
They need to be identical to the original
equipment, or correspond to those
recommended by Fiat Dealerships.

SAFETY

IMPORTANT
23)When the engine is stopped, never
leave the ignition device in the "M" position
to prevent useless current absorption from
draining the battery.
24)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
USING THE
GEARBOX
144)
25)
To engage reverse (vehicle
stopped)
From the neutral position, lift up ring 1
fig. 207 against the lever knob to
engage reverse gear.
The reverse lights go on when the gear
is engaged (starter device in position
M).
WARNING
144)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat
and do not get in the way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
25)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.

STARTING AND DRIVING

INSTALLING THE
TOW HOOK
TO: 1,090 mm
Position the sphere with respect to
bolts 1 or 2 fig. 211, so they are in line
with height B fig. 210, which has to be
between 350 and 420 mm with the
vehicle loaded (as in the illustration
above).
To mount the tow hook, refer to the
device manufacturer’s installation
instructions.
147) 148)
IMPORTANT Always remove the tow
hook when not in use. In any case, the
local laws in force must be observed in
all cases.IMPORTANT Refer to the “Weights”
paragraph of the “Technical data”
chapter to find out the maximum
allowed load. We recommend keeping
the instructions provided by the device
manufacturer with the other vehicle
documents.
WARNING
147)The ABS with which the vehicle may
be equipped will not control the trailer's
braking system. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
148)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent from the hydraulic system of
the vehicle.

WARNING
161)If the replaced fuse blows again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
162)Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
163)If a general protection fuse (MAXI-FUSE, MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) blows, do not attempt any repair and contact a Fiat Dealership.
164)Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the key has been removed from the starter switch and that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
165)Contact Fiat Dealership if a safety system (airbags, brakes), engine system (engine, gearbox) or steering system general protection fuse
blows.
IMPORTANT
30)Never replace a fuse with metal wires or anything else.
31)If it is necessary to wash the engine compartment, take care not to directly hit the fuse box and the window wiper motors with the water
jet.
