panel.
Direction indicators switch off automatically when
the vehicle is back in a straight line.
If you want the indicator to flash briefly to show that
you are about to change lane, move the stalk up or
down without it clicking into position. When
released, the stalk will return to its default position.
Lane change function
If you wish to signal a lane change, put the left stalk
in the temporary position for less than half a second.
The direction indicator on the selected side will
flash three times and then switch off automatically.“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This device lights up the space in front of the vehicle
for a short time.
Activation
With the ignition key in the STOP position or
extracted, pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
and move it within 2 minutes of the engine switching
off.
Each time the stalk is moved, the lights stay on for an
extra 30 seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds;
then the lights are switched off automatically.
Each time the stalk is moved, instrument panel
warning light
comes on and the corresponding
message will appear on the display (see “Warning
lights and messages”) for as long as the function
remains on. The light comes on when the stalk is
first moved and stays on until the function is
automatically deactivated. Each movement of the
stalk increases only the amount of time the lights
stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steering wheel for
more than 2 seconds.

HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct direction of the headlights is essential
for the comfort and safety of the driver and other
road users. To ensure the best visibility when
travelling with the headlights on, the headlight
alignment must be correct. Contact a Fiat Dealership
to have the direction checked and, if necessary,
adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the MAR
position and the dipped headlights on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it is laden, raising
the beam.
The beams must therefore be aimed again in this
case.Adjusting headlight alignment
Press theorbuttons on the control
panelfig. 100.
The instrument panel display shows the position in
relation to the adjustment set.
Position 0 - one or two people in the front seats.
Position1-fivepeople.
Position2-fivepeople + load in the boot.
Position 3 - driver + maximum permitted load
stowed in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check the alignment of the light beams
each time the weight of the load transported
changes.
FOG LIGHT DIRECTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped headlights are directed for operation in
the country where the vehicle was originally
purchased. In countries where you drive on the
other side of the road, you need to alter the beam
direction by affixing a specially designed self-adhesive
film in order not to dazzle the vehicles travelling in
the opposite direction.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by warning light
in the
instrument panel coming on (together with the
appropriate message on the multifunction display on
some versions) (see “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the braking system will work as normal,
but without the extra capacity offered by the ABS
system. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.
EBD failure
ABS failure is indicated by warning light
andin
the instrument panel coming on (together with the
appropriate message on the multifunction display
on some versions) (see “Warning lights and
messages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and
the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.
WARNING
If only warning lightlights up in the
instrument panel (with a message in the
multifunction display on some versions), stop
the vehicle immediately and contact the nearest
Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaking from the
hydraulic system will compromise the operation
of the braking system, whether it is of the
conventional type or with ABS.

ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The ESC system improves the directional control and
stability of the vehicle in various driving conditions.
The ESC system corrects the vehicle’s understeer
and oversteer, distributing the brake force on the
appropriate wheels. The torque supplied by the
engine can also be reduced in order to maintain
control of the vehicle.
The ESC system uses the sensors in the vehicle to
determine the trajectory required by the driver
through steering and compares it with the real
trajectory of the vehicle. When the real trajectory
deviates from the desired trajectory, the ESC system
intervenes to counter the car’s understeer or
oversteer.
Oversteer: occurs when the vehicle is turning
more than it should according to the angle of
the steering wheel
Understeer: occurs when the vehicle is turning
less than it should according to the angle of the
steering wheel
The ESC system also includes the following systems:
Hill Holder
ASR
MSR
HBASYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the instrument panel
warning light
, to inform the driver that the car
is in critical stability and grip conditions.
Switching the system on
The ESC system is automatically activated when the
vehicle is started and cannot be deactivated.
Failure indications
In the event of a failure, the ESC system will be
automatically switched off and warning light
will
switch on constantly on the instrument panel along
with a message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where provided) (see chapter
"Warning lights and messages"). Contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to
excessive speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.

WARNING
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.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
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 pedal
pressed and gearbox in neutral or gear other than
reverse;
downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a
gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake
pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.
When setting off, the ESC system control unit
maintains the braking pressure on the wheels until
the torque necessary for starting is reached, or
in any case for a maximum of 2 seconds, allowing
your right foot to be moved easily from the brake
pedal to the accelerator. When two seconds have
elapsed, without starting, the system is automatically
deactivated, gradually releasing the braking pressure.
During this release stage, the typical brake
disengagement noise indicating that the vehicle is
going to move imminently will be heard.Failure indications
System failure is indicated by instrument panel
warning light
with digital display and 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, never leave the vehicle without
having engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off
and engaged the first gear.
WARNING
For the ESC and ASR systems to function
correctly, all four tyres must be the
same brand and type, must be in excellent
condition and, above all, must be of the
prescribed type and size.
ASR SYSTEM (Anti-Slip Regulation)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a traction control system that cuts in
automatically every time one or both drive wheels
slip.
Depending on how slippery the road is, two different
control systems are activated:
if slipping involves both driving wheels, the ASR
function intervenes reducing the power
transmitted by the engine;

Switching off is shown by the warning lighton the
instrument panel switching on together with a
message shown in the multifunction display, for
versions/markets where provided.
If the ASR is switched off when driving, it is
automatically switched on again when the vehicle is
started up.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains, it
may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in these
conditions, the driving wheels skidding when moving
off gives you better traction.
WARNING
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with this system.
Your driving style must always be suited to the
road conditions, visibility and traffic .The driver
is always responsible for road safety.FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ASR system will be
automatically switched off and warning light
will
appear permanently on the instrument panel along
with a message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where provided) (see “Warning
lights and messages” section). In this case, contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE ASSIST (assistance
during emergency braking)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The HBA system is an integral part of the ESC
system and is designed to improve the vehicle’s
braking capacity during emergency braking.
The system detects emergency braking by
monitoring the speed and force with which the brake
pedal is pressed, and consequently applies the
optimal brake pressure. This can reduce the braking
distance: the HBA system therefore completes
the ABS.
Maximum assistance of the HBA system is obtained
pressing the brake pedal very quickly; in addition, the
brake pedal should be pressed continuously during
braking, avoiding intermittent presses, to obtain
benefits from the system. Do not reduce pressure on
the brake pedal until braking is no longer necessary.
The HBA system is deactivated when the brake pedal
is released.

WARNING
The HBA system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
WARNING
The HBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due
to excessive speed on corners, driving on
low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.
WARNING
The capability of the HBA must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously,
in such a way as to compromise personal safety
and the safety of others.
iTPMS System (indirect Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring System iTPMS
can monitor the tyre inflation status through the
wheel speed sensors. The system warns the driver if
one or more tyres are flat by switching on the
warning light on the instrument panel and
a warning message on the display, along with an
acoustic signal.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can indicate its
position: it is in any case recommended to check the
pressure on all four tyres. This indication is displayed
also when turning the engine off and on until the
“Reset” procedure is carried out.
“Reset” procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-learning" phase (with
length depending on the driving style and road
conditions: optimal conditions being driving on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20 minutes)
which starts when the “Reset” procedure is carried
out.
The “Reset” procedure must be carried out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;

when the space-saver wheel is fitted. Before
carrying out the “Reset” procedure, inflate the
tyres to the rated pressure values specified in the
inflation pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph in
the "Technical specifications" chapter).
If the “Reset” procedure is not carried out, in all
above cases, the
warning light may give false
indications on one or more tyres.
To carry out the “Reset” procedure, with the vehicle
stopped and the ignition device at MAR, use the
Setup Menu as follows:
briefly press thebutton: the display will show
"Reset";
press thebutton or thebutton to select
("Yes" or "No");
briefly press thebutton: the display will show
"Confirm";
pressbutton orto select ("Yes" to
“Reset” or "No" to exit the video page);
press thebutton again to return to the standard
screen or to the main menu according to where
you are in the menu.
After the “Reset” the display will show the "Reset
saved" message, indicating that the "self-learning" has
been started.
Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above 15 km/h. In a
few situations such as sporty driving, particular
conditions of the road surface (e.g. icy, snowy,unsurfaced roads...) the signalling may be delayed or
partial in detecting the contemporary deflation of
more than one tyre. Under special conditions (e.g.
vehicle loaded asymmetrically on one side, towing
a trailer, damaged or worn tyre, fitting the
space-saver wheel, use of the "Fix&Go Automatic"
kit, fitting snow chains, fitting different tyres on
the axles) the system may give false indications or be
temporarily deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated, the warning
light
flashes for about 75 seconds and then is
continuously on; at the same time, the display shows
a dedicated message. This indication is displayed
also after the engine has been switched off and then
on again if the correct operating conditions are
not restored.
WARNING
The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while
driving.The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the traffic
conditions in order to drive in complete safety.
The driver must always maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front .
