2019 FIAT FIORINO ESP

READ THIS CAREFULLY
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with an octane rating (RON) of no less than 95 conforming to the European specification EN
228.
Diesel engines: only use diesel fuel for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN 590. The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
Refuelling with methane: refuel only with methane for motor vehicles. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine
beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Versions with manual transmission (petrol engines): make sure that the handbrake is engaged; put the gear lever in neutral; fully
depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with manual transmission (Diesel engines): Turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning light
to go out. Turn
the ignition key to AVV and release as soon as the engine starts.
Versions with Comfort-matic transmission: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral).
Then depress the brake pedal, turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electrical system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance enables the vehicle to perfectly maintain performance and safety characteristics, its environmental friendliness and low
running costs over time.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS
... important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your vehicle over time. Special attention
must be paid to the symbols(safety of persons)(environmental protection)(vehicle integrity).

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do
not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering cars with
steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on cars with steering wheel on the right side, the position or
construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key
for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current chapter at the side of each even page.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your
vehicle.
There are alsoPRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle,
which could cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore allWARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSmust always be carefully followed.
WARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSare recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle integrity;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.
That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

Each time the stalk is moved, the
instrument panel warning light
comes on and the corresponding
message appears on the display (see
“Warning lights and messages” in
the "Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter) for as long as the function
remains on. The warning light comes
on when the stalk is first operated and
stays on until the function is
automatically deactivated. Each
movement of the stalk only increases
the amount of time the lights stay on.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the
steering wheel for more than 2
seconds.INTERIOR LIGHTS

DRIVER PROTECTION
LADDER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, a fixed ladder fig. 54
is provided to protect the driver from
unstable loads and allow greater
loading capacity from the passenger
side.
COMBI VERSIONS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Fixed partition fig. 55This is located behind the backrest of
the rear seats.
SECURING YOUR LOAD
Hooks (various number, according to
version) are fixed to the floor for easy
securing load.
Cargo versions fig. 56;
Combi versions fig. 57.LOADING ADVICE
Some simple suggestions can improve
driving safety, comfort and vehicle
duration: - distribute the load evenly
over the platform: if it must be
concentrated it in a single area, choose
an area mid-way between both axles;
- lastly, remember that the dynamic
behaviour of the vehicle is affected by
the transported weight: in particular, the
stopping distances are longer,
especially at high speed.
24) 25) 26) 27)
WARNING
24)Bumpy roads and abrupt braking may
cause unexpected load shifting with
consequently hazardous situations for the
driver and passengers: before setting
off, secure the load tightly using the
partition and appropriate hooks, steel
cables, ropes or chains strong enough to
hold the items to be secured.
25)Even when the car is stopped on a
steep hill or side slope, opening the rear or
side doors could cause unsecured goods
to fall out.
26)If you wish to carry a reserve of petrol
in a can, observe the legal restrictions
and only use a can that is type-approved
and properly secured to the load
anchorage eyebolts. In the event of a
collision the fire risk is increased all the
same.54F0T0177

KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

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 the 2 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.
Fault warnings
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” in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is
not a parking brake, therefore do not
leave the vehicle without activating the
handbrake, switching off the engine
and engaging first gear.
48)
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip
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 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, the ASR intervenes
automatically braking the wheel that
is slipping.
The action of the ASR system is
especially useful in the following
conditions:
slipping of the inner wheel round
bends due to dynamic variations in the
load of excessive acceleration;
excessive power transmitted to the
wheels, also in relation to road surface
conditions;
acceleration on slippery, snowy or
icy road surfaces;
in the case of loss of grip on a wet
surface (aquaplaning).
48) 49) 50) 51)
MSR SYSTEM (engine
drive regulation)
This is an integral part of the ESC
system that, in the event of a sudden
gear down shift or an ABS braking,
cuts in and provides torque to the
engine thus preventing excessive
driving wheel drive which, especially in
poor grip conditions, can lead to a
loss of stability.
Turning the ASR system on/off
The ASR comes on automatically
whenever the engine is started.
When travelling, the ASR system can
be switched off and on again pressing
button fig. 81 located among the
controls in the instrument panel.
Switching off is shown by the warning
light
on the instrument panel
switching on together with a message
shown in the multifunction display,
for versions/markets where provided.
If the ASR is switched off while driving,
it is automatically switched on again
when the car is started up.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn
the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions,
the drive wheels skidding when setting
off gives you better traction.

SAFETY

FAULT WARNINGS
In the event of a failure, the ASR will be
automatically switched off and the
warning light
will come on constantly
in the instrument panel along with a
message in the multifunction display
(for versions/markets where provided)
(see “Warning lights and messages”
section in the "Knowing the instrument
panel" chapter). In this case, contact
the Fiat Service Network as soon as
possible.HYDRAULIC BRAKE
ASSIST (assistance
during emergency
braking)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The HBA system is an integral part
of the ESC system and is designed to
improve the vehicle’s braking capacity
during emergency braking. The system
detects emergency braking by
monitoring the speed and force with
which the brake pedal is pressed, and
consequently applies the optimal brake
pressure. This can reduce the braking
distance: the HBA system therefore
completes the ABS.
Maximum assistance of the HBA
system is obtained pressing the brake
pedal very quickly; in addition, the
brake pedal should be pressed
continuously during braking, avoiding
intermittent presses, to obtain benefits
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.
53) 54) 55)
WARNING
45)The ESC system can’t overrule the
natural laws of physics, and can’t increase
the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
46)The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
47)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.
48)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.
49)The ASR cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and cannot increase
the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
50)The ASR system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
51)The capability of the ASR must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.

52)Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with this system.
Your driving style must always be suited to
the road conditions, visibility and traffic.
The driver is always responsible for road
safety.
53)The HBA system cannot overrule the
natural laws of physics, and cannot
increase the grip available according to the
condition of the road.
54)The HBA system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
55)The capability of the HBA must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.iTPMS System
(indirect Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System iTPMS can monitor the tyre
inflation status through the wheel speed
sensors. The system warns the driver
if one or more tyres are flat by switching
on the
warning light on the
instrument panel and a warning
message on the display, along with an
acoustic signal.
It is advisable to check the pressure of
all four tyres. This indication is displayed
also when turning the engine off and
on until the “Reset” procedure is carried
out.
“Reset” procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driving on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the “Reset”
procedure is carried out.
The “Reset” procedure must be carried
out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is
fitted. Before carrying out the “Reset”
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the “Reset” procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on
one or more tyres.
To carry out the “Reset” procedure,
with the vehicle stopped and the
ignition device at MAR, use the Setup
Menu as follows:
briefly press thebutton: the
display will show "Reset";
press thebutton or the
button to select ("Yes" or "No");
briefly press thebutton: the
display will show "Confirm";
pressbutton orto select
("Yes" to “Reset” or "No" to exit the
video page);
press thebutton again to return
to the standard screen or to the main
menu according to where you are in the
menu.
After the “Reset” the display will show
the "Reset saved" message, indicating
that the "self-learning" has been
started.
