2020 FIAT TALENTO alarm

In this case, the ESC and traction
control system are deactivated. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
PBA (Panic Brake
Assist) SYSTEM
This is a complementary system to the
ABS that lets you reduce the vehicle's
braking distance.
Operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In such cases, the
power brake immediately creates the
maximum braking, causing the ABS
system to also intervene.
ABS intervention lasts until the brake
pedal is released.
Hazard warning lights on
Depending on the versions, these lights
can go on when you slow down
abruptly.
Anticipated braking
Depending on the versions, when you
quickly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates braking so as to
diminish the braking distance.
When using Cruise Control:
if you are using the accelerator pedal,
with you release it, the system can
activate;
if you are not using the accelerator
pedal, the system will not activate.Irregular operation
When the system detects an
operational irregularity, the message to
that effect will appear on the instrument
panel with the alarm light
going
on.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
TSA (Trailer Stability
Assist) DRIVING
ASSISTANCE WITH A
TRAILER
This system helps you maintain control
of the vehicle in case you are using a
trailer. It detects the swinging motion of
the trailer in certain driving conditions.
Operating conditions
the towing system must be
type-approved by the Fiat Dealership;
the wiring has to be approved by a
Fiat Dealership;
the trailer has to be connected to the
vehicle.
Operating principle
The function stabilises the vehicle by:
asymmetrical front wheel braking to
reduce swinging caused by the trailer;
four wheel braking and a limitation in
engine torque to reduce the vehicle
speed until the swinging stops.
The warning light
flashes on the
instrument panel to inform you of the
situation.
TRACTION PLUS
(GRIP CONTROL)
147) 23)
Where the vehicle is provided with one,
road grip check ensures easier control
of the vehicle in conditions where grip is
reduced (crumbly terrain).
"Road" mode
When the vehicle is started, the
appropriate message appears on the
display screen. The indicator light
on the instrument panel is off. This
position guarantees optimal use in
normal road conditions (dry, wet
roadbed, light snow, etc.).
The "Road" mode uses the traction
control system functions.
"Traction +" Mode
Press button 1 fig. 207: the warning
light

WARNING
214)Always turn off the ignition device
before working in the engine compartment
(see the related information in the “Starting
the engine” paragraph in the “Starting and
driving” chapter).215)Handle the battery carefully, because
it contains sulphuric acid that must not
come into contact with eyes or skin. If that
happens, rinse thoroughly with water. If
necessary, see a doctor. Keep open
flames, incandescent items and sources of
sparks far from the battery's elements: risk
of explosion.
216)When you intervene near the engine,
this last could be hot. Moreover, the
cooling fan could start up at any time. The
warning light serves to remind you of
this condition. Risk of injury.
217)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
218)Using the battery with low fluid will
irreparably damage the battery and may
cause an explosion.
219)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
IMPORTANT
50)Since the battery is specific, you need
to make sure you replace it with its
equivalent. Consult a Fiat Dealership.
51)Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your vehicle. If after purchasing
the vehicle, you want to install accessories
(alarm, mobile phone, etc.), contact the Fiat
Dealership who will be able to suggest the
most suitable devices and, above all, offer
advice on the need to use a more powerful
battery.
