13) 14) 15)
Operating principle
The ultrasound sensors installed in the
rear bumpers (depending on the vehicle
version) "measure" the distance
between the vehicle and an obstacle.
If they detect an obstacle, the sensors
set off an acoustic warning, which
frequency increases when getting
closer to the obstacle, until it becomes
a single sound when the obstacle is
about 30 centimetres from the vehicle.
NOTE Make sure you check that the
ultrasound sensors are not covered
(with dirt, mud, snow, etc.).
NOTE The assisted parking system
does not take the towing and
transporting systems into account.Operation
When you put the gear in reverse, most
of the objects located less that
1.20 meters from the rear of the vehicle
are detected, an acoustic warning
signal goes off and, depending on the
type of vehicle, display 1 fig. 102 lights
up.

24 MONTHSMaintenance schedule
With the contact inserted, engine not on and the dedicated message on the
display, hold button 9 or 10 fig. 173 pressed for about 5 seconds to see the
service deadline (distance and time remaining until the next service deadline).
The following cases may occur as the next service deadline approaches:range less than 1500 km or one month: the dedicated message will appear
with the nearest due date (distance or time);
range at 0 km or the date for oil replacement reached: the dedicated
message appears on the screen along with the warning light .
The vehicle needs an oil change as soon as possible. SERVICE WITHIN 300 km / 24 DAYS
SERVICE
Depending on how old the vehicle is, the oil change limit will adapt to driving style (frequently at low speeds, door-to-door, the least prolonged
driving, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance that remains until the next oil change can, in certain cases, thus be reduced more rapidly than the
distance actually covered.
Reinitialisation:to reinitialise the oil change deadline, view the remaining range (distance and time), by holding button 9 or 10 pressed
fig. 173 for approximately 10 seconds until the fixed oil change deadline appears fixed.
ON-BOARD: information messages
These can help vehicle ignition, provide information on a selection or on driving conditions.
ON-BOARD COMPUTER: anomaly messages
They appear along with the warning light
.When these messages appear, drive carefully to the Fiat
Dealership. Failure to follow this instruction could damage the vehicle.
They are deleted when you press the viewing selection button, or automatically after a few seconds. However, they are stored
in the on-board log. The warning light
stays on.
ON-BOARD COMPUTER: alarm messages
They appear along with the STOP warning light to make you stop as soon as traffic conditions allow, for your own
safety. Stop the engine and do not turn it back on. Contact a Fiat Dealership.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

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.

Irregular operation
The electronic key with easy access will
not function in the following instances:
The electronic key might have dead
batteries
In the vicinity of a device functioning
on the same frequency (screen cell
phone, video games, etc.);
The vehicle is located in an area
known for a high presence of
electro-magnetic waves.A message to this effect appears in the
instrument panel.
Insert the electronic key in the reader 2
fig. 211 as far as it will go.
STOPPING THE ENGINE

Vehicles with an electronic key
The vehicle needs to be stopped.
With the electronic key in the reader 2
fig. 211 or in the detection area 3
fig. 212, press button 1 fig. 211: the
engine turns off. The steering wheel
lock locks when the driver's door opens
or when the vehicle is locked.
If the key is not in the passenger
compartment when you try to turn the
engine off, a dedicated message
appears on the instrument panel: press
button 1 fig. 211 for more than
2 seconds.
After turning the engine off, a few
accessories still on (radio, etc.) continue

accessories turn off.
WARNING
149)Do not start the vehicle on an incline
with the gear in neutral. The power steering
might not activate. Risk of accident.150)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
151)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
152)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
153)Do not remove the key from the
starter device or the electronic key from the
reader before effectively stopping the
vehicle; stopping the engine means
deleting various aids: When the engine is
stopped, the power brakes, power steering
and safety devices like the air bags and
pre-tensioners no longer work.
154)Especially when you leave the car
with the electronic key in your pocket,
make sure the engine is effectively
stopped.
IMPORTANT
24)When the engine is stopped, never
leave the ignition device in the "M" position
to prevent useless current absorption from
draining the battery.
25)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
