by pressing the accelerator pedal
(in this case the system is not actually
turned off but the acceleration request
takes priority; the cruise control
remains activated, without the need to
the press button (B) fig. 143 to restore
the previous conditions once the
acceleration is over).
The device is automatically switched off
in the following cases:
if the ABS or ESC systems intervene;
with the vehicle speed below the set
limit;
in the event of system failure.
WARNING

a Fiat Dealership.
TRACTION PLUS
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful
for setting off in poor grip conditions
(snow, ice, mud, etc.) which allows the
drive force to be distributed in the best
way over the front axle when one wheel
is slipping.
Traction Plus acts by braking the
wheels with poor grip (or those
slipping more than the others), thereby
transferring the drive force to those
which have greater grip on the ground.
This function can be turned on
manually by pressing the button (A)
fig. 144 on the dashboard and works
below a level of 50 km/h.
Over this speed, it is automatically
deactivated and it is reactivated again
when the speed is below 50 km/h.

Traction Plus operation
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the Traction Plus
system, press the button (A) fig. 144.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system involves the following functions
being switched on:
inhibition of the ASR function, in
order to fully exploit the engine torque;
the differential locking effect on
the front axle, through the braking
system, to improve traction on irregular
grounds.
If the "Traction Plus" system is faulty,
the "general failure" instrument panel
warning light
comes on steady.
PARKING SENSORS
These are located in the rear bumper
fig. 145 and their function is to inform
the driver, through an intermittent
beeping noise, about the presence of
obstacles behind the vehicle.
