Fault indications
In the event of a fault, the ESP system will be
automatically switched off and the
warning light
will switch on constantly in the instrument panel
along with a message in the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where provided) (see “Warning
lights and messages” section). The LED in the ASR
button will switch on. Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
WARNING
ESP performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary or
unfounded risks. Driving style must always be
adapted to road conditions, visibility and
traffic.The driver is always responsible for road
safety.
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
It is integral to the ESP system. It automatically
activates with the following conditions:
❒
uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, brake pressed and
gearbox in neutral or gear (other than reverse)
engaged;
❒
downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a
gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake
pressed and reverse gear engaged.
When setting off, the ESP system control unit will
maintain braking pressure on the wheels until the
torque required for starting is attained or, in any
case, for a maximum of 2 seconds in order that the
right foot can be moved easily from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal.
When 2 seconds have elapsed, without any
departure having taken place, the system is
automatically deactivated, gradually releasing the
braking pressure. During this release stage, the
typical brake disengagement noise indicating that the
vehicle is going to move imminently will be heard.
