ESP SYSTEM FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ESP will be automatically
switched off and the warning light
will come on
permanently on the instrument panel along with
a message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets where provided) (see “Warning
lights and messages” section). The LED on the ASR
OFF button will also switch on. In this case, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
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 always responsible for road safety.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE ASSIST (integrated ESP
emergency braking assistance)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This system, which cannot be deactivated, recognises
emergency braking (according to the brake pedal
operation speed) and provides additional hydraulic
braking pressure to support that applied by the
driver. This allows faster and more powerful
operation of the braking system.
The Hydraulic Brake Assist is deactivated on versions
equipped with ESP, if there is an ESP system failure
(indicated by the warning light
and the message on
the multifunction display, for versions/markets where
provided).
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It's integral to the ESP system. It automatically
activates with the following conditions:
uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient
of more than 2%, engine on, clutch and brake
pedals pressed and gearbox in neutral or gear
other than reverse engaged;
downhill: car at a standstill on a road with a
gradient higher than 2%, engine running, clutch and
brake pedal pressed and reverse gear engaged.
When setting off the ESP system control unit will
keep brake force on wheels until the torque
necessary for starting is reached, or in any case for
max. 2 seconds in order to pass easily from the
brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
When two seconds have elapsed, without starting,
the system is automatically deactivated, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During this release
stage, the typical mechanical brake release noise can
be heard, indicating that the car is about to move.
