INDEX

At pick-up, the ESP system control unit will maintain the
braking pressure at the wheels until the necessary engine
torque for moving away is reached or, in any case, for a
maximum of 1.75 seconds in order to move easily from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.

If the vehicle has not departed after this time, the system
will deactivate automatically by gradually releasing the brak-
ing pressure.

During this release stage, the typical brake disengagement
noise indicating that the vehicle is going to move immi-
nently will be heard.

Failure indications

System failure is indicated by the turning on of warning
light

in the instrument panel with digital display and

warning light

in the instrument panel with multifunction

display (for versions/markets where provided) (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).

IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake; therefore, never leave the vehicle without having
engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off and engaged
the first gear.

FAILURE INDICATIONS

In the event of a failure, the ESP will be automatically
switched off and the

warning light will come on per-

manently in the instrument panel along with a message in
the multifunction display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) (see “Warning lights and messages” section). The
LED on the ASR OFF button will also light up. Contact the
Fiat Service Network as soon as possible if this happens.

Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your
vehicle is fitted with an ESP system. Your

driving style must always be suited to the road
conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is al-
ways ultimately responsible for road safety.

WARNING

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM

This is an integral part of the ESP system and facilitates
hill starts. It is automatically activated in the following con-
ditions:
❒ uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient high-

er than 5%, engine running, brake pedal pressed and
gearbox in neutral or gear other than reverse;

❒ downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient

higher than 5 per cent, engine running, brake pedal de-
pressed and reverse gear engaged.

For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be

the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size specified.
