FIAT Panda - Manual (Page 80)

WARNING
For the ESC and ASR systems to function
correctly, all four tyres must, above all,
be the type, brand and size prescribed, of the
same brand and type, and must be in excellent
condition.
WARNING
The ESC functions even when the
space-saver wheel is being used. Always
remember that the space-saver wheel, being
smaller than the original wheel, provides less
grip.
WARNING
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with the ESC and
ASR systems.Your driving style must always be
suited to the road conditions, visibility and
traffic.The driver is always responsible for road
safety.
TC (Traction Control)
It is an integral part of the ESC system. It
automatically activates if a drive wheel slips or loses
grip, automatically braking this wheel and getting
the effect of a self-locking differential.
The TC system switches on automatically each time
the engine is started and cannot be de-activated.
BRAKE ASSIST
The system, which cannot be turned off, recognises
emergency braking (on the basis of the brake pedal
operating speed) and speeds up the response of
the braking system. The Brake Assist device is
deactivated if there is a ESC system failure.
