NOTE If you continue to press the
“ESC OFF” switch after the electronic
stability control function is turned off,
the “mistaken operation protection
function” will activate and the electronic
stability control function will turn back
on.
NOTE Even if the electronic stability
control function is turned off, it may
activate depending on the vehicle’s
movement.
Active Traction Control function
On slippery surfaces, the active traction
control function prevents the drive
wheels from spinning excessive, thus
helping the vehicle to start moving from
a stopped condition. It also provides
sufficient driving force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while
pressing the acceleration pedal.
217)
WARNING
201)The brake assist system is not a
device designed to exercise braking force
greater than its capacity. Make sure to
always keep a sufficient distance between
vehicles in front of you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.
202)The ABS cannot prevent accidents. It
is your responsibility to take safety
precautions and to drive carefully.203)To prevent failure of the ABS, be sure
all 4 wheels and tyres are the same size
and the same type.
204)Do not install any aftermarket limited
slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The
ABS may stop functioning properly.
205)The ABS exploits the grip available to
the full, but it cannot improve it. Therefore,
you should take great care when driving on
slippery surfaces, without taking
unnecessary risks.
206)When the ABS intervenes and you
notice the brake pedal pulsating, keep the
pedal pushed down and don’t be alarmed.
This will help you to stop in the shortest
distance possible, depending on the road
conditions.
207)If the ABS intervenes, it means you
have almost reached the grip limit between
the tyres and the road surface: slow down
to make sure that you drive in accordance
with the available grip.
208)The ABS cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and can’t increase the grip
available according to the condition of the
road.
209)The ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those due to excessive speed on
corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
210)The capability of the ABS must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.211)Do not over-rely on the ESC. Even the
ESC cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle. This
system, like any other system, has limits
and cannot help you to maintain traction
and control of the vehicle in all
circumstances. Reckless driving can lead
to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility
to drive carefully. This means into account
the traffic, road and environmental
conditions.
212)The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
213)Be sure to use the same specified
type and size of tyre on all 4 wheels.
Otherwise, the ESC may not work
correctly.
214)Do not install any aftermarket limited
slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The
electronic stability control function may
stop functioning properly.
215)For safety reasons, the “ESC OFF”
switch should only be operated when the
vehicle is stopped.
216)Be sure to keep the electronic stability
control function on while driving in normal
circumstances.
217)When driving a vehicle on a snowy or
icy road, be sure to install snow tyres and
drive the vehicle at moderate speeds.

SAFETY
Type 1
Type 2
However, the Speed Limiter
immediately starts controlling and the
vehicle decreases as if an accelerator
pedal is closed fully, when the vehicle
speed is higher than the set speed.
247)
IMPORTANT
153)Because the system does not use
service brake (hydraulic brake), the vehicle
speed may exceed the set speed on the
downhill.
WARNING
244)There is a possibility for the Speed
Limiter to allow abrupt acceleration
corresponding to accelerator pedal
position. So be careful of the abrupt
acceleration.
245)Be careful about over speed.
246)There is a possibility for the Speed
Limiter to allow abrupt acceleration
corresponding to accelerator pedal
position when the Speed Limiter is
deactivated. Be careful.
247)There is a possibility to occur jerk,
depending on a running resistance. Be
careful.

painted surfaces of the vehicle. Spilt
electrolyte should be flushed immediately
with ample amounts of water. Irritation to
eyes or skin from contact with electrolyte
requires immediate medical attention.
379)Ventilate when charging or using the
battery in an enclosed space.380)Always wear protective eye goggles
when working near the battery.
381)Keep it out of reach of children.
382)Using the battery with insufficient fluid
irreparably damages the battery and may
cause an explosion.
IMPORTANT
188)Incorrect assembly of electrical and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if you want to install accessories
after purchasing the vehicle (alarms,
radiophone, etc.): they will suggest the
most suitable devices and advise you
whether a higher capacity battery needs to
be installed.
189)If the vehicle needs to be off the road
for a long period under conditions of
intense cold, remove the battery and take it
to a heated location, otherwise it may
freeze.
190)Do not bring the nearby parts, the
plastic parts and so on into contact with
sulphuric acid (battery electrolyte) which
may crack, stain or discolour them. If they
are in contact, wipe off with soft cloth,
chamois or the like and an aqueous
solution of neutral detergent then
immediately rinse the affected parts with
plenty of water.
191)If the vehicle must remain unused for
a long time at a very low temperature,
remove the battery and take it to a warm
place, to avoid freezing.192)Never disconnect the battery when
the ignition switch or the operation mode is
in the “ON” position; doing so could
damage the vehicle’s electrical
components.
193)Never short-circuit the battery. This
could cause it to overheat and be
damaged.
194)If the battery is to be quick-charged,
first disconnect the battery cables.
195)In order to prevent a short circuit, be
sure to disconnect the negative (-) terminal
first.
