2017 FIAT FIORINO gearbox

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;

START&STOP SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
INTRODUCTION
The Start&Stop device automatically stops the engine
each time the vehicle is stationary and starts it
again when the driver wants to move off. This
improves the efficiency of the vehicle by reducing fuel
consumption, the emission of harmful gases and
noise pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
With the vehicle stationary, the engine stops with
the gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal released.
WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
The engine cuts out if the vehicle stops with the
brake pedal pressed.
This condition can be maintained even if the brake
pedal is not depressed, if the gear lever is in position
N.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped automatically
after a speed of about 10 km/h is reached, to prevent
the engine from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
The engine being stopped is signalled by the icon
fig. 105 on the display, depending on the trim level.Engine restarting mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Press the clutch pedal to allow the engine to be
restarted.
WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
If the gear lever is in position N, place it in any other
gear, otherwise release the brake pedal or move
the gear lever to(+),(-)orR.
MANUAL ACTIVATION AND
DEACTIVATION
The device can be activated/deactivated by the
button, shown in fig. 106 on the dashboard. When
the function is not active, the button LED is on.
In addition, on some versions, additional information
concerning the deactivation or activation of the
Start&Stop system is given through a message on the
display.

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.The
clutch pedal should be used only for gear
changes. Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal, however slightly.The electronic
clutch control could cut in by interpreting the
incorrect driving style as a fault (for versions/
markets, where provided).SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for fuel saving and
reducing harmful emissions of CO2 and other
pollutants (nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons,
Particulate Matter (PM) etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel consumption are
listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressure at least once every four
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels
increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the vehicle (especially when driving in town)
and its trim greatly affect fuel consumption
and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories reduce the aerodynamic
coefficient of the vehicle and have a negative effect
