HILL DESCENT CONTROL
(HDC) SYSTEM
It is an integral part of the ESC and is
aimed at keeping the vehicle at a
constant speed during a descent,
operating autonomously on the brakes
in various ways at the same time. In this
way the vehicle stability and completely
safe driving are guaranteed, above all
in poor grip conditions and/or steep
descents.
To activate the system, reach a speed
slower than 25 km/h and press the
corresponding button A fig. 83; the LED
on the button turns on and the display
shows a dedicated message.
After reaching the desired speed,
release the accelerator and brake
pedals completely (the LED on the
button flashes). If you want to
increase/decrease the speed, press the
accelerator/brake pedals again.IMPORTANT Do not use the device
with the gearbox in neutral position.
IMPORTANT It is important to engage a
gear suitable for the set speed, to
prevent the engine from stalling.
When this function is active the brake
lights turn on automatically.
While the HDC system is operating it is
also possible to take control of the
vehicle again by pressing the brake and
accelerator pedals.
If the function is not made available
when the button is pressed, this could
be due to brake overheating. In this
case, wait a few minutes before using
the function again.
IMPORTANT The system is available for
speeds below 25 km/h.
IMPORTANT On exceeding 25 km/h,
the HDC system is disabled and
remains ready to operate again (the
LED on the button remains on) when
the vehicle returns below 25 km/h.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 50 km/h,
the HDC system turns off completely
(the LED on the button turns off) and
any autonomous action on the brakes
is disabled. To reactivate it, press the
dedicated button again when the speed
is again below 25 km/h.
12)
WARNING
57)The ESC system can’t overrule the
natural laws of physics, and can’t increase
the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
58)The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
59)The capability of the ESC system must
never be tested irresponsibly and
dangerously, in such a way as to
compromise personal safety and the safety
of others.
60)For the correct operation of the ESC
and ASR system it is vital that the tyres are
the same make and the same type on all
the wheels, in perfect condition and, above
all, the recommended type and size.
61)The performance of the ESC and ASR
systems must not encourage the driver
to take unnecessary risks. Driving style
must always be suitable for road
conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver
is, in any case, responsible for safe driving.
62)The HBA system cannot increase
tyre grip on the road over the limits
imposed by laws of physics: always drive
carefully according to the conditions of the
road surface.
63)The HBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on bends, travelling on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.

SAFETY

WARNING
66)The Traction Plus system acts
effectively only on road surfaces that are
not homogeneous and/or differentiated
between the two drive wheels.
67)Until the setting off manoeuvre is
terminated, fully depress the accelerator
pedal in order to transfer all the drive
torque to the wheel with the best grip.
TPMS (Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
68) 69) 70) 71) 72) 73) 74) 75) 76)
DESCRIPTION
The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) warns the driver of low tyre
pressure on the basis of the cold
inflation pressure prescribed for the
vehicle.
Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressure to vary. This means
that a decrease in the outside
temperature corresponds to a decrease
in the tyre pressure.
Tyre pressure must always be adjusted
according to the cold inflation pressure.
Cold tyre inflation pressure is the tyre
pressure after letting the vehicle stand
for at least three hours or a travel
shorter than 1.6 km after an interval of
three hours.
The cold tyre inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure value printed on the side of
the tyre.
The tyre pressure also increases while
driving the vehicle: this is a normal
condition and does not require any
adjustment of the pressure.The TPMS continues to advise the
driver of the low tyre pressure condition
until this is corrected; the warning
continues until the pressure
corresponds or exceeds the pressure
prescribed for the cold tyres. When the
low tyre pressure check warning light
turns on continuously, the inflation
pressure must be adjusted until it
reaches the pressure prescribed for
cold tyres. After the automatic update
of the system, the tyre pressure control
warning light switches off. You may
need to drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.
NOTE
The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while adjusting
the tyre inflation pressure.
Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can
result in tyre failure. The low inflation
pressure reduces fuel efficiency and
tyre tread life and may also affect
handling and braking performance of
the vehicle.

SAFETY

replace the belt after an accident of
a certain severity even if it does not
appear to be damaged. Always replace
the belt if the pretensioners were
deployed;
prevent the retractors from getting
wet: their correct operation is only
guaranteed if water does not get inside;
replace the seat belt when it shows
wear or cuts.
WARNING
83)The pretensioner may be used only
once. After it is triggered, have it replaced
at a Fiat Dealership.
84)For maximum safety, keep the backrest
upright, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your chest
and pelvis. Always fasten the seat belts
on both the front and the rear seats!
Travelling without wearing seat belts will
increase the risk of serious injury and even
death in the event of an accident.
85)Removing or tampering with seat belt
and pretensioner components is strictly
prohibited. Any intervention on these
components must be performed by
qualified and authorised technicians.
Always go to a Fiat Dealership.86)If the belt has been sharply pulled, for
example as the result of an accident,
the seat belt, together with the anchoring
devices, the anchoring device fixing screws
and the pretensioner must be completely
replaced. Even if the belt does not present
any exterior signs of wear or damage, it
may have lost its restraining properties.
WARNING
13)Operations which lead to impacts,
vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C
for a maximum of six hours) in the area
around the pretensioners may damage or
deploy them. Contact a Fiat Dealership
should intervention be necessary on these
components.
CARRYING
CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint
systems, including newborn and other
children! This prescription is
compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of 1.50
metres and up to 12 years must be
protected with suitable restraint
systems and be seated on the rear
seats. Statistics on accidents indicate
that the rear seats offer greater safety
for children. Compared with adults,
a child's head is proportionally larger
and heavier than the rest of the body,
while muscles and bone structure
are not fully developed. Therefore,
correct restraint systems other than
adult seat belts are necessary, to
reduce as much as possible the risk of
injuries in the event of an accident,
braking or sudden manoeuvre. Children
must be seated safely and comfortably.
Depending on the characteristics of
the child restraint systems used, you
are advised to keep children in rearward
facing child restraint systems for as
long as possible (at least until 3-4 years
old), since this is the most protected
position in the event of an impact.
