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;

TRACTION PLUS SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful for setting off in
poor grip conditions (snow, ice, mud, etc.) which
allows the drive force to be distributed in the best
way over the front axle when one wheel is slipping.
In effect, Traction Plus acts by braking the wheels
with poor grip (or those slipping more than the
others), thereby transferring the drive force to those
which have more grip on the ground.
This function can be activated manually by pressing
button T+ on the side control panel fig. 102 and
operates under 50 km/h. When this speed is
exceeded, it is automatically deactivated (the LED on
the button is still on) and it is reactivated again
when the speed falls below 50 km/h.Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when starting up. To
activate the "Traction Plus" system, press the button
(T+ fig. 102): the LED on the button switches on.
The activation of the Traction Plus system involves
the following functions being switched on:
inhibition of the ASR function, in order to fully
exploit the engine torque;
the differential locking effect on the front axle,
through the braking system, to improve traction
on irregular grounds.
If the "Traction Plus" system is faulty, the "general
failure" instrument panel warning light
comes on
steady.
