69) The HBA system is an aid for the driver,
who must always pay full attention while
driving. The responsibility always rests with
the driver. The features of the HBA system
must never be tested in imprudent or
dangerous ways, with the possibility of
putting the safety of the driver, occupants
or other road users at risk.

TP (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.
Engagement/disengagement
The system is deactivated when
starting. To activate the Traction Plus
system, press the T+ button fig. 50: the
LED on the button switches on; the
display shows a dedicated message.
To disengage the system press the T+
button again.
Operation
This function operates below a
threshold of 30 km/h. When this speed
is exceeded, it is automatically
deactivated (the LED in the button
remains on) and it is reactivated as
soon as the speed goes below the level
of 30 km/h.
The activation of the Traction Plus
system causes 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
ESC warning light on the instrument
panel switches on constantly.
