ESC (Electronic
Stability Control)
system 15)
This is an electronic system that
controls vehicle stability in the event of
tyre grip loss, helping maintain
directional control.
The system is capable of recognising
potentially dangerous situations in
terms of the stability and intervenes
automatically on the brakes in a
differentiated manner for the four
wheels in order to provide a stabilising
torque.
The ESC system also includes the
following subsystems:
❒ HH (Hill Holder): it activates
automatically when starting with car
stationary, on a road with a
gradient higher than 5%.
❒ ASR (AntiSpin Regulation):
The system automatically operates
in the event of slipping, loss of grip
on wet roads (aquaplaning) and
acceleration on slippery, snowy or
icy roads, etc. on one or both drive
wheels.
The ASR comes on automatically
whenever the engine is started. When
driving it is possible to deactivate and
then reactivate the ASR system by
pressing the button A fig. 50: the
system activation is signalled by the
LED on the same button switching on
and, on some versions, by a message
on the display.
❒ HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist): it
operates automatically and
improves the braking capacity of the
vehicle during emergency braking.

message on the radio screen.
Connected services that can be
accessed on the vehicle
The eco:Drive™ and my:Car
applications were developed to
improve the customer’s driving
experience, therefore they are available
in all markets, where the Uconnect™
LIVEservices can be accessed.
If the navigation system is installed in
the radio, accessing the Uconnect™
LIVE services enables use of the
“Live” services.
eco:Drive™
The eco:Drive™ application allows you
to display your driving behaviour in real
time, in order to help you reach a more
efficient driving style as far as
consumption and emissions are
concerned.
In addition, the data can be saved on a
USB flash drive, and the data analysis
can be made on your personal
computer thanks to the eco:Drive™
desktop application, available on
www.DriveUconnect.eu.
Driving style is evaluated by means of
four indices which monitor the
following parameters: acceleration,
deceleration, gearchange, speed.

32) CHANGING A WHEEL
•The space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided) is specific to your car, do not use it on other models,
or use the space-saver wheel of other models on your car.
The space-saver wheel must only be used in an emergency.
Never use it for more than strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h.
•On the space-saver wheel there is an orange label,
summarising the main warnings regarding space-saver wheel
usage restrictions. Never remove or cover the label. The label
contains the following indications in four languages: “Warning!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace with standard
wheel as soon as possible. Never cover this indication.” Never
apply a wheel cap on a space-saver wheel.
•If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead of
steel rims and vice versa) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized bolts.
•Alert other drivers that the car is stationary in compliance
with local regulations: hazard warning lights, warning triangle,
etc. Any passengers on board should leave the car, especially
if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay away from on-
coming traffic while the wheel is being changed. On hills or
uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate objects to block the
wheels of the vehicle.
•The driving features of the car may change when a space-
saver wheel is fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The total life of a space-saver wheel is approximately 3,000
km, after which it must be replaced by another wheel of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a rim designed to
be used as a space-saver wheel.
PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
Have the wheel repaired and refitted as soon as possible. Using
two or more space-saver wheels at the same time is forbidden.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
•Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver wheel.
So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are needed,
a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the car and the
space-saver wheel should be fitted to the rear. In this way,
equipped with two normal drive wheels at the front, they can be
fitted with snow chains, thus resolving the emergency situation.
•If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it may come off when the
car is travelling.
Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Check
tyre and space-saver wheel pressures regularly, complying with
the values given in the “Technical specifications” chapter.
•The jack is a tool developed and designed only for changing a
wheel, if a tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the vehicle with
which it is supplied or on other vehicles of the same model.
Any other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or different
things, is strictly prohibited. Never use it to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the vehicle or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa.
Never go under the raised vehicle. If any work under the vehicle
is necessary, contact the Fiat Service Network. Incorrect
placing of the jack can cause the vehicle to drop: use it only in
the positions indicated.
