2016 FIAT TALENTO display

Outside temperature gauge
When the outside temperature is
between -3°C and +3°C, the °C symbol
lights up (indicating risk of ice).
WARNING
82)Since ice formation on roads is due to
various weather factors, such as exposure,
local hygrometry and temperature, it is not
just the outside temperature that indicates
if there is ice or not.

reset to zero.
Resetting travel parameters
When one of the trip parameters is
selected on the display, press button
9 or 10 fig. 168 until the display is reset.
Interpreting some of the displayed
values after resetting
The further you travel after the last
reset, the more accurate and significant
the average fuel consumption,
autonomy and average speed become.
During the first kilometers travelled after
resetting, you will notice that the
autonomy increases as you travel. This
is because the system takes the
average fuel consumption since the last
reset into account. The average fuel
consumption can decrease when:
the vehicle is no longer accelerating;
the engine reaches operating
temperature (reset: cold engine);
going from urban to extra-urban
driving.
Automatic travel parameter reset
Reset is automatic when one of the
parameter's capacities is exceeded.

SAFETY

ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
Depending on the version, they can
consist of:
by the anti-lock braking system
(ABS);
electronic stability control (ESC) with
understeering and traction control
system;
driving with a trailer assistance;
emergency brake assistance;
road grip control;
assisted departure on inclines.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking
System)
131) 132) 133) 134)
In case of abrupt braking,the ABS
avoids wheel locking, so it manages the
braking distance and maintains vehicle
control.
In these conditions you can carry out
manoeuvres while braking fully.
Moreover, this system optimises the
braking distance, especially on slippery
surfaces (wet roadbed, etc.).
Every time you activate this device, you
know because the brake pedal shakes.
The ABS never improves the "physical"
performance associated with the
wheel's road grip. The rules of the road
must be respected (safety distance
between vehicles, etc.).IMPORTANT In an emergency, we
advise you to apply strong, continuous
pressure to the brake pedal. You do not
need to pump it. The ABS will modulate
the force applied to the brakes.
Irregular operation:
Depending on the vehicle,and
lit on the instrument panel along
with dedicated messages mean: the
ABS, ESC and emergency power
steering have been deactivated.
Braking is always guaranteed;
andSTOPlit on the
instrument panel, along with the
dedicated message on the display,
indicates that there is a fault in the
brake system.
In both cases, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) SYSTEM
135) 136)
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps maintain control of
the vehicle in "critical" driving conditions
(avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip in a
curve, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor on the steering wheel
recognises the driving trajectory that the
driver set.
Other sensors installed in the vehicle
measure the real trajectory.The system compares the driver's
adherence to the effective trajectory,
correcting it if necessary, braking a few
wheels and/or reducing engine power if
the system was activated and its
warning light
flashes on the
instrument panel.
Understeering control
This system optimises the ESC action
in case of noticeable understeer (loss of
front grip).
Traction Control System
This system limits the drive wheels
slipping and helps control the vehicle
when starting out, accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Thanks to the sensor in the wheels, the
system measures and compares the
drive wheel rotation speed, detecting
immediately loss of grip. If a wheel
starts sliding, the system intervenes by
braking to re-stabilise the drive that is
compatible with the level of road grip.
The system also acts on the engine
speed, adapting it to wheel road grip,
independently of the driver's use of the
accelerator.

SAFETY

Irregular operation
When the system detects an
operational irregularity, the dedicated
message appears on the display and
the warning lights
andturn
on. In this case, the ESC and traction
control system are deactivated. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
PBA (Panic Brake
Assist) SYSTEM
This is a complementary system to the
ABS that lets you reduce the vehicle's
braking distance.
Operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In such cases, the
power brake immediately creates the
maximum braking, causing the ABS
system to also intervene.
ABS intervention lasts until the brake
pedal is released.
Hazard warning lights on
Depending on the versions, these lights
can go on when you slow down
abruptly.
Anticipated braking
Depending on the versions, when you
quickly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates braking so as to
diminish the braking distance.
When using Cruise Control:
if you are using the accelerator pedal,
with you release it, the system can
activate;
if you are not using the accelerator
pedal, the system will not activate.
Irregular operation
When the system detects an
operational irregularity, the message to
that effect will appear on the instrument
panel with the alarm light
going
on.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
TSA (Trailer Stability
Assist) DRIVING
ASSISTANCE WITH A
TRAILER
This system helps you maintain control
of the vehicle in case you are using a
trailer. It detects the swinging motion of
the trailer in certain driving conditions.
Operating conditions
The two system must be authorised
by the Fiat Dealership;
the wiring has to be approved by a
Fiat Dealership;
the trailer has to be connected to the
vehicle.
Operating principle
The function stabilises the vehicle by:
asymmetrical front wheel braking to
reduce swinging caused by the trailer;
four wheel braking and a limitation in
engine torque to reduce the vehicle
speed until the swinging stops.The warning light
flashes on the
instrument panel to inform you of the
situation.
TRACTION PLUS (GRIP
CONTROL)
136)
22)
Where the vehicle is provided with one,
road grip check ensures easier control
of the vehicle in conditions where grip is
reduced (crumbly terrain).
"Road" mode
When the vehicle is started, the
appropriate message appears on the
display screen. The indicator light
on the instrument panel is off. This
position guarantees optimal use in
normal road conditions (dry, wet
roadbed, light snow, etc.).
The "Road" mode uses the traction
control system functions.
"Traction +" Mode
Press button 1 fig. 201: the warning
light
on the instrument panel turns
on along with the dedicated message.

TPMS – Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System
(For versions/markets where provided)
Tyre pressure loss warning
This system warns the driver of any
pressure loss in one or more of the
tyres.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except the spare) has a
built-in sensor in the inflation valve that
measures tyre pressure at regular
intervals while driving. Warning light 1
fig. 202 stays on to warn the driver in
case of tyre pressure loss (deflated tyre,
puncture, etc.).Re-initialising the tyre pressure
reference value
This operation must be done:when the tyre reference pressure has
to be changed so it can be adapted to
use conditions (empty, with a load,
highway driving, etc.);
after tyre rotation ( however, this
practice is not advised);
after replacing a tyre.
This operation must always be done
after a cold tyre inflation pressure of all
the tyres.
Inflation pressure has to correspond to
the vehicle's current use (empty, with a
load, highway driving, etc.).
Re-initialisation procedure
With the engine running and the vehicle
stationary.
briefly press on button 3 or 4
fig. 203 to select the "TYRE
PRESSURE SET < LONG PRESS >"
function on display panel 2;
keep button 3 or 4 pressed (for
about 3 seconds) to start initialisation.
The appropriate message indicates that
the request to restore the tyre pressure
reference values is being processed.
A few minutes of driving is required to
complete the initialisation.NOTE The tyre pressure reference value
must not be less than that advised and
indicated on the the driver's door pillar.
Display
The display 2 fig. 203 on the instrument
panel indicates any inflation faults
(deflated tyre, puncture, etc.).
Warning light 1 fig. 202 stays on
permanently along with the message to
that effect. This indicates that at least
one tyre is deflated.
If necessary, check and adjust the
pressure of the four tyres when cold.
The light goes off after driving for a few
minutes.
IMPORTANT Unexpected loss of tyre
pressure (blowout, etc.) might not be
detected by the system.
The warning light turns on fixed
together with a dedicated message and
an acoustic signal.
