What it means What to do
redINCOMPLETE DOOR/LOAD COMPARTMENT
CLOSURE
On certain versions the warning light switches on
when one or more doors or the load compartment are
not completely shut.
On some versions, the display shows a dedicated
message that indicates left/right front door or rear/load
compartment door opening.
A buzzer will sound when doors/tailgate are open and
the vehicle is moving.
redPOWER STEERING FAILURE
When the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON the
warning light on the dial turns on, but it should turn off
after a few seconds.
If the warning light stays on together with the message
shown on the display and a buzzer, the power steering
is ineffective and the effort on the steering wheel
increases significantly even though the vehicle can be
steered.Contact a Fiat Dealership.
redSELF-LEVELLING SUSPENSION FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light switches on when a fault is present
in the self-levelling suspension system.
65

ASR (AntiSlip
Regulation) SYSTEM
It is an integral part of the ESC system.
It automatically operates in the event
of one or both drive wheels slipping,
loss of grip on wet roads (aquaplaning)
and acceleration on slippery, snowy
or icy roads, etc.
Depending on the slipping conditions,
two different control systems are
activated:
if the slipping involves both drive
wheels, the ASR intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
if the slipping only involves one
of the drive wheels, it intervenes
automatically braking the wheel that is
slipping.
61)
Engagement/ disengagement of the
ASR system
The ASR is switched on automatically
each time the engine is started.
While driving, the ASR can be switched
off and subsequently switched on
again by pressing the ASR OFF button
(A fig. 101).
62)
On some versions, the intervention of
the system is indicated by a message
shown on the display.When the system is not active, the LED
on the button ASR OFF turns on and,
on some versions, a message appears
on the display.
If the ASR is disengaged during driving,
it is automatically reactivated when
the vehicle is next started.
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.
HBA SYSTEM
(Hydraulic Brake Assist)
The HBA system is designed to
improve the vehicle’s braking capacity
during emergency braking. The system
detects an emergency braking by
monitoring the speed and strength with
which the brake pedal is pressed,
thereby applying the optimal brake
pressure.This can reduce the braking distance:
the HBA system therefore completes
the ABS.
Maximum assistance from the HBA
system is obtained pressing the brake
pedal very quickly. In addition, the
brake pedal must be pressed
continuously during braking, avoiding
intermittent presses, to benefit 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.
63) 64) 65)
ERM ELECTRONIC ROLLOVER
MITIGATION SYSTEM
(Electronic Rollover Mitigation)
The system monitors the tendency of
the wheels to rise from the ground if the
driver performs extreme manoeuvres
like quick steering to avoid an obstacle,
especially in poor road conditions.
If these conditions occur, the system
intervenes on the brakes and engine
power to reduce the possibility that the
wheels are raised from the ground.
It is not possible to avoid the tendency
to roll over if this is due to reasons
such as driving on high side gradients,
collision with objects or other vehicles.

PROCEDURE FOR
NATURAL POWER
VERSIONS
(For versions/markets, where provided)
The various engine cranking methods
are described below:
METHANE tank not on reserve –
petrol tank not empty:
the engine is always started in methane
mode;
METHANE tank empty – petrol tank
not empty:
the engine is forced to start on petrol
and it will not switch to methane until
the methane tank has been filled. At the
same time, the reserve warning light
will turn on and the "REFUELLING
REQUIRED" message will be shown on
the instrument panel display;
METHANE tank not on reserve –
petrol tank empty:
the engine is always started in methane
mode.

WARNING
116)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and engine exhaust contains
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and
other toxic gasses.
WARNING
14)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessive intense braking,
etc.) during the initial period of use.
15)When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.
16)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the
transmission is automatically placed in
neutral will be signalled by a buzzer.
17)
If the warning light
flashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates a
problem in the glow plug pre­heating
system. Use the vehicle normally if the
engine starts, but contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible. 18)
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational until the
engine has been started, so you need to
apply much more force than usual to
the brake pedal and steering wheel. 19)
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This
could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair. 20)A quick burst on the accelerator before
stopping the engine serves no practical
purpose; it wastes fuel and is especially
damaging to turbocharged engines. 21)
In some cases, when the engine
switches off, the fan could activate for max.
120 seconds.

In the absence of the tool box the
vehicle front tow hook is housed in the
on-board documentation container,
together with the Owner Handbook.
To use it, proceed as follows:
Open the flap A and remove it as
shown fig. 203;
turn the lock knob B fig. 203
anticlockwise and remove it to allow the
compartment fig. 204 to be removed;
take the screwdriver provided from
the box and prise up at the point
shown to raise the cap C fig. 206;
take the tow ring D from the box and
screw onto the threaded pin fig. 206.
The rear ring B fig. 207 is located at the
point shown in the figure.
VERSIONS WITH COMFORT-MATIC
TRANSMISSION
Make sure that the gearbox is in neutral
(N) (checking that the vehicle moves
when pushed) and proceed in the same
way as for towing a normal vehicle
with a manual transmission.
If the gearbox cannot be put in neutral,
do not tow the vehicle and contact a
Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
176)Screw on the tow ring and check that
it stops at the end of travel position.
177)Before towing, switch off the steering
lock (see "Starting device" paragraph
under the "Dashboard and controls"
section).
178)The power brakes and power steering
will not operate while the vehicle is being
towed. More effort on the brake pedal and
steering wheel will therefore be required.
179)Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing operations, make sure that the
fastened joint does not damage adjoining
components.
180)When towing the vehicle, it is
necessary to obey specific road regulations
which relate both to the towing device as
well as to the behaviour to adopt on the
road.
181)Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
182)Towing must be made exclusively on
roads/streets; the device must not be used
to recover the vehicle if it got off the road.
183)Towing must not be made for getting
past significant obstacles on the road
(e.g. heaps of snow or material on the road
surface).
