Dynamic Steering Torque - Fiat 500L 2014 Owner's Manual

WARNING!
There may be situations on minor hills with a loaded
vehicle, or while pulling a trailer, when the system
will not activate and slight rolling may occur. This
could cause a collision with another vehicle or object.
Always remember the driver is responsible for brak-
ing the vehicle.
Disabling/Enabling HSA
If you wish to turn the HSA system on or off, it can be
done using the Customer Programmable Features in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to
"Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)" in "Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel" for further informa-
tion.

Dynamic Steering Torque

The DST function uses the integration of the ESC system
with the electric power steering to increase the safety
level of the whole car.
In critical situations (understeering, oversteering, brak-
ing with different grip conditions), through the DST
function the ESC system controls the steering to imple-
ment an additional torque contribution on the steering
wheel, to suggest the most correct manoeuvre to the
driver.
The coordinated action of brakes and steering increases
the safety and car control feeling.
NOTE: The DST is a driving aid system and does not
replace the driver's actions while driving the car.
