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
Page 178 of 232

207)For safety and to respect legislation in
force, when replacement is necessary, you
must only fit the same brand, size, type
and structure tyres on the same axles.
They have to have a load and speed
capacity that is at least identical to the
original tyres, or they correspond to those
recommended by a Fiat Dealership. Failure
to observe these instructions can
compromise safety and vehicle
compliance. Risk of losing control of the
vehicle.
208)If the tyres are "unidirectional", do not
switch tyres from the right-hand side of the
vehicle to the left-hand side, and vice
versa. This type of tyres can only be
switched from the front axle to the rear axle
and vice versa, keeping them on the same
side of the vehicle.
209)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
IMPORTANT
53)Some driving accidents, such as
"hitting the curbstone" can damage the
tyres and change the front or rear end
adjustments. In that case, have them
checked by a Fiat Dealership.
54)Caution, a missing or badly screwed on
valve cap could impact the tyre's grip and
cause a loss of pressure. Always use valve
caps that are identical to the original ones
and make sure that they are screwed on
fully.55)Snow chains cannot be fitted with 17”
tyres, you must obtain specific equipment
from the Fiat Dealership.
56)Snow chains can only be fit on tyres of
the same dimensions as those originally on
the vehicle.
57)If you want to fit chains, contact the
Fiat Dealership.
58)Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h.
Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps or
pavements, and do not drive long
distances over roads without snow, to
avoid damaging both your vehicle and the
road surface.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WIPER
WIPER BLADES
IMPORTANT Check the status of the
wiper blades. Their duraton depends on
proper maintenance:
clean both windscreen and rear
window wipers regularly with soapy
water;
do not use them when the
windscreen and rear window are dry;
detach them from the windscreen or
rear window if they have not been used
for a long time.
