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
on the instrument panel turns
on along with the dedicated message.
