Active Traction Control Function - Fiat Fullback Single cab Owner's Manual

NOTE If you continue to press the
"ESC OFF" switch after the electronic
stability control function is turned off,
the "mistaken operation protection
function" will activate and the electronic
stability control function will turn back
on.
NOTE Even if the electronic stability
control function is turned off, it may
activate depending on the vehicle's
movement.

Active Traction Control function

On slippery surfaces, the active traction
control function prevents the drive
wheels from spinning excessive, thus
helping the vehicle to start moving from
a stopped condition. It also provides
sufficient driving force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while
pressing the acceleration pedal.

WARNING
201) The brake assist system is not a
device designed to exercise braking force
greater than its capacity. Make sure to
always keep a sufficient distance between
vehicles in front of you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.
202) The ABS cannot prevent accidents. It
is your responsibility to take safety
precautions and to drive carefully.
140
203) To prevent failure of the ABS, be sure
all 4 wheels and tyres are the same size
and the same type.
204) Do not install any aftermarket limited
slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The
ABS may stop functioning properly.
205) The ABS exploits the grip available to
the full, but it cannot improve it. Therefore,
you should take great care when driving on
slippery surfaces, without taking
unnecessary risks.
206) When the ABS intervenes and you
notice the brake pedal pulsating, keep the
pedal pushed down and don't be alarmed.
This will help you to stop in the shortest
distance possible, depending on the road
conditions.
207) If the ABS intervenes, it means you
have almost reached the grip limit between
the tyres and the road surface: slow down
to make sure that you drive in accordance
with the available grip.
208) The ABS cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and can't increase the grip
available according to the condition of the
road.
209) The ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those due to excessive speed on
corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
210) The capability of the ABS must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
211) Do not over-rely on the ESC. Even the
ESC cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle. This
system, like any other system, has limits
and cannot help you to maintain traction
and control of the vehicle in all
circumstances. Reckless driving can lead
to accidents. It is the driver's responsibility
to drive carefully. This means into account
the traffic, road and environmental
conditions.
212) The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
213) Be sure to use the same specified
type and size of tyre on all 4 wheels.
Otherwise, the ESC may not work
correctly.
214) Do not install any aftermarket limited
slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The
electronic stability control function may
stop functioning properly.
215) For safety reasons, the "ESC OFF"
switch should only be operated when the
vehicle is stopped.
216) Be sure to keep the electronic stability
control function on while driving in normal
circumstances.
217) When driving a vehicle on a snowy or
icy road, be sure to install snow tyres and
drive the vehicle at moderate speeds.
