Active Safety Systems; Abs (Anti-Lock Braking System); Esc (Electronic Stability Control) System - Fiat TALENTO Owner's Handbook Manual

136) The ISOFIX anchorages have been
designed exclusively for child restraint
systems with the ISOFIX system. Never
fasten other child restraint systems, nor
seat belts or other objects to these
anchorages. Check that there are no
obstacles at the level of the anchor points.
If the vehicle has been involved in a road
accident, have the ISOFIX anchorages
checked and replace the child restraint
system.
137) Never install a child restraint system
with support feet on the central rear seat.
Risk of death or serious injury.

ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
Depending on the version, they can
consist of:
by the anti-lock braking system
(ABS);
electronic stability control (ESC) with
understeering and traction control
system;
driving with a trailer assistance;
emergency brake assistance;
road grip control;
assisted departure on inclines.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking
System)
138) 139) 140) 141)
In case of sharp braking, the ABS
avoids wheel locking, so it manages the
braking distance and maintains vehicle
control.
In these conditions you can carry out
manoeuvres while braking fully.
Moreover, this system optimises the
braking distance, especially on slippery
surfaces (wet roadbed, etc.).
Every time you activate this device, you
know because the brake pedal shakes.
The ABS never improves the "physical"
performance associated with grip
between the wheel and the road. The
rules of the road must be respected
(safety distance between vehicles, etc.).
IMPORTANT In an emergency, we
advise you to apply strong, continuous
pressure to the brake pedal. You do not
need to pump it. The ABS will modulate
the force applied to the brakes.
Irregular operation:
and lit on the instrument
panel accompanied by the dedicated
message on the display indicate
deactivation of the ABS, of the ESC
and of the emergency servo brake.
Braking is always guaranteed;
and STOP lit on the
instrument panel, along with the
dedicated message on the display,
indicates that there is a fault in the
brake system.
In both cases, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) SYSTEM
142) 143)
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps maintain control of
the vehicle in "critical" driving conditions
(avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip in a
curve, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor on the steering wheel
recognises the driving trajectory that the
driver set.
Other sensors installed in the vehicle
measure the real trajectory.
