Units of state of the art
At launch, the Fiat Freemont offered with front-wheel drive and two diesel engines: a 140 bhp 2.0 Multijet 16V 2 and a 2.0 Multijet 16v 170 hp 2. A true concentrate of technology, it ensures the optimal balance between fuel economy performance and driving pleasure. The Freemont will soon be available in all versions drawn with 170 hp 2.0 Multijet 276 bhp and two petrol 3.6 V6, both with 6-speed automatic gearbox to ensure driving comfort and safety at the same time . With the exception of the powerful 3.6-liter engine, Chrysler Group family Penta Star, all units of power produced and developed by Fiat Powertrain.
140 bhp or 170 bhp 2.0 Multijet 2
2.0 Multijet 2 is equipped with a turbocharger and a new variable oil pump, variable displacement, as well as benefit from the power of the state-of-the-art second generation Multijet technology. 2 Multijet engines to ensure economic, environmental and performance in a single market. Unlike the first generation Multijet engines, the fuel supply is now equipped with injectors faster to be able to perform multiple injections in a row. In particular, the system can now run the most important modulated fuel injection, and the important steps in anticipation of those who follow. 2 Multijet system, the servo valve with a balanced piston is able to handle up to eight injections per cycle, providing greater speed, flexibility and precision in various stages of operation. This makes it much less complicated system, with 40% fewer components, thus boosting the economy and reliability.
MultiJet with 2, with this new type of injector, strategies are now focused on optimizing the combustion of more sophisticated can be made, such as injection rate Shaping (IRS), which involves two injections consecutive so close in time to generate a continuous supply of fuel and modulated in bottles. With this method, the improvement of combustion process, all for the benefit of particulates and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Today 2 MultiJet engines fully meet Euro-5 standard and also marks a decisive step towards levels of stricter regulations in the future.
Improved with new technology, MultiJet 2 equipped with a reliable and modern 6-speed. Freemont Fiat's 2.0-liter engine is at the top of its class for performance and responsiveness. Proof of this is that the maximum torque (350 Nm) is reached at only 1750 rounds and remains constant up to 2500 revolutions per minute to 170 HP version (up to 2000 rpm to 140 HP version). For the normal operating range (from starting the engine to 3000 rpm), the couple never drops below 300 Nm, thus avoiding unpleasant "downgrade" and increase driving pleasure. This makes the engine very flexible, with optimum acceleration from 0-100 km / h and top speed: 11 seconds and 195 km / h to 170 hp model, 12.3 seconds and 180 km / h to 140 HP. All this results in driving dynamics and safe: the two versions of power in a combined cycle is 6.4 l/100km and the values of 169 g / km of CO2.
Compliance with the Euro 5 emission values is ensured by means of close-coupled DPF (CCDPF) and an advanced exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), where all subcomponents are grouped together, a compact element (EGF-module).
Driving pleasure
Fiat Freemont surrounds the driver and passengers with technologies that offer the highest degree of comfort on board, as indicated by the control triple-zone automatic climate, innovative infotainment system and keyless entry / go. Similarly, driving pleasure guaranteed both the suspension and tires specifically designed and padded interior environment that is comfortable and free of vibrations through the super-efficient car insulation.
Triple-zone automatic climate control
The climate inside the vehicle is a major factor of comfort when traveling and it is also important for preventive safety, but comfort, humidity and ventilation affect the driver's welfare and therefore his / level of care . Not to mention that heating and ventilation is also responsible for defrosting the windshield and side windows.
That is why the Fiat Freemont has a triple-zone automatic climate control, which allows three different levels of temperature and air distribution can be programmed at the same time, the cab right to left and behind the area. The system works automatically to control the temperature, air flow, its distribution, operation of the compressor and an air recirculation function. Positions of the holes and the exit speed are automatically subject to the conditions of entry, such as outside temperature, inside temperature, solar radiation and temperature of the refrigerant. If necessary, the direction and velocity of air flow can be manually selected and fixed.
Multimedia Infotainment
The first trim level comes with an innovative infotainment standard with a large color touch screen (4.3 "), which allows you to control vehicle functions, including setting the temperature of the atmosphere three zones controlled and adjust the stereo system. The system offers unmatched technology with Radio/CD/MP3, USB port, auxiliary jack and Bluetooth connectivity.
After launch, a rearview camera will be available, allowing the driver to see an image of the area behind the vehicle on the touch screen when reverse gear is selected.
Remote keyless entry / go
The Freemont Fiat offers "keyless entry / go system" standard, which in your car and start the engine simple and convenient. No need to search your key, put it in the lock, turn, and once in the driver's seat, put it in the ignition to start the engine. All you need is your personalized remote control keys and everything changes. When you approach the car and pull the door handle keyless entry / go system checks the electronic control unit if the key is in the neighborhood. When the key is the secret code and is transmitted via radio frequency is confirmed as correct, the door opens automatically. At this point, all you have to do is take the wheel and start the engine by pressing the button on the dashboard. Once it reaches its destination, the same procedure performed in reverse. Turn the engine by pressing the same button, and once outside the car, push the door handle.
In order to control the unit, this is a sign that you are leaving the car, so that the keyless entry / go system, lock the doors.
Simple, practical and intelligent, the system also has a series of measures to ensure it is completely safe and secure. For example, to prevent accidental movement of the vehicle, which could be dangerous (for a child, for example) when you press the button to start the engine, the brake pedal must be pressed to communicate a true intention of leaving.
After closing the doors, a person who has the key can be used to start. The system blocks not only the type of products, but all locks can be closed by pressing the divisions to manage their own product. This will avoid the need to walk around the car and use the handle of the door to the central control block.
Front and rear suspension
Fiat Freemont ensures maximum driving pleasure, thanks to its suspension, which provides the best management and "independence" of the street. The dynamic handling and comfort is improved vehicle suspension system reformed so that the external appearance of the streets. Adjustments were made in different parts of the suspension design, including stiffening of the suspension bushings, improved front suspension geometry to reduce the angle of inclination, and the adjustment of the suspension and shock absorber calibration of the optimal combination of comfort and handling, which is in line with European standards.
The MacPherson front suspension Fiat Freemont with coil springs, gas shocks and stabilizer bar. The advantages of the MacPherson suspension reduced in size and the ability to calibrate the geometry of the suspended load transport. At the rear, the vehicle is equipped with a multi-link suspension with coil springs, gas shocks and a stabilizer bar to reduce chassis roll when cornering to improve ride comfort and handling.
Tyres
Fiat Tyres Freemont use taking materials and drawings created to optimize traction on wet and dry for effective treatment with minimal noise. These characteristics have been established for each package of suspension tuning and developed in collaboration with suppliers of tires.
With its 19 "alloys, the vehicle is equipped with" M + S tires Type ", which can be used in all seasons, without the use of winter tires during the cold months.
World-class security
Freemont Fiat has been designed and built to achieve the ultimate in passive and active safety. The chassis has been designed to be highly shock absorbent, so as to ensure the most efficient case of collisions. Body, bonnet, doors, seats and steering column are all designed to protect the occupants of the vehicle. Behavior in case of accident has been extensively studied. More than a third of his body is extremely durable alloy steel, Freemont Fiat has a solid and safe, offering an excellent absorption of energy created by the collision, the greater comfort and maneuverability.
High quality sound insulation and fittings means that the noise from the road surface, wind and the transmission line is minimized. As for the mass, has 36% of the vehicle structure high strength steel plates hot pressed that are designed to optimize body weight and structural strength. The extensive use of dual phase steel in the front and rear rails, tunnel reinforcement in components and entry thresholds means that these components can handle larger loads with relatively small dimensions. The stub axles front and center hot pressed steel can reduce the weight of the upper body of 14 kg.
The Fremont has a Fiat hatchback with lightweight materials in a room that reduces vehicle weight and facilitates the opening and closing. The structural rigidity of the new Fiat car limit noise, vibration and the transmission of the surface roughness of the road to the cabin.
Active safety
Consistent and predictable handling car driver error compensation, allowing critical situations to be addressed easily. In addition to an excellent braking system, the Fiat Freemont comes with the most sophisticated electronic devices for controlling dynamic braking to traction.
Braking
Brake system fiat Freemont is very efficient, to ensure a rapid and progressive braking and reduces stopping distances. Brakes on front wheels are equipped with 302 mm ventilated discs and floating calipers with 66 mm piston, while the rear wheels are 305 mm brake discs and calipers with 43 mm pistons.
ABS with EBD
And a braking system that offers excellent performance, the Fiat Freemont equipped with one of the most advanced available today on ABS and the control system of electric braking, EBD (electronic brake force distribution). EBD distributes braking force to all four wheels to prevent the wheels locking and ensure full control of the car in all conditions. The system also adapts its operation under the conditions of adhesion of the wheels and the effectiveness of brake pads and reduce overheating of the latter.
ESP (Electronic Stability Program)
This system operates in close relation to the programmed limit when car stability is at risk and helps the driver steer the car. The device allows the driver complete freedom to control the vehicle under normal conditions, and only intervene immediately before the situation becomes critical.
When there is a healthy change in conditions of low grip, response MSR (Motor Schleppmoment Regelung), restore the engine torque and prevents the wheels from locking and sliding. To achieve this, ESP constantly monitor tire grip in both longitudinal and lateral directions and restore directionality and ride stability in the event of a skid. Using sensors, it detects the rotation of the body around the vertical axis (yaw speed), the lateral acceleration of the vehicle and the wheel angle set by the driver (which indicates the chosen direction). The device then compares this data with the parameters processed by a computer, and sets out - using a mathematical model very complex - if the car is driven into a corner under his control, or if it is turn (understeer or oversteer).
To bring the car on the right lane, it generates a yaw moment opposite to the one that caused the initial instability, braking the appropriate wheel individually (internal or external) and reducing engine power (runs on gas).
TCS (traction control)
This anti-skid system optimizes traction at all speeds, which means that the brakes and engine control. The number of wheel revolutions calculated by the ABS sensors, the device computes degree of slip of the tongue and the rear grip, allows two different control systems. If excessive force is applied, causing both wheels to slip (as in the case of aquaplaning and the acceleration of the road or a road of ice or snow), engine torque is reduced, decreasing the angle of the throttle opening and then the air intake. If on the other hand, one wheel is slipping (for example, an inside of the bend, after acceleration or dynamic load changes), the system automatically brakes the wheel without the driver having to use the brake pedal. The result is similar to the self-locking differential. This allows the Fiat Freemont handle low grip road surface with ease.
Brake Assistance and Hill Holder
The Freemont Fiat is also equipped with Brake Assist System (the hydraulic braking assistance automatically increases braking pressure in emergency braking situations) and the Hill Holder system that, during a hill start, maintains the braking action for a few seconds after the brake was released, making it easy to remove power and prevent the car back.
Electronic Rollover Mitigation (ERM)
This is an additional function of ESP that occurs when a wheel leaves the road surface: in fact, every time a dynamic extremist movement is detected, the electronic device for turning, mitigation helps to rebalance the vehicle and control returns to the driver's car. The ERM system determines when a vehicle is operating potential and applies appropriate braking force to reduce the likelihood of this event to occur. The ERM was designed to help the driver maintain vehicle stability during emergency maneuvers or maneuvers necessary to avoid an accident.
TSC (Trailer Sway Control)
The TSC stabilizer is another new safety feature made possible by the ESP. TSC is a trailer for the intelligent control system, once it was found that the trailer is moving through special sensors, intervenes by automatically applying braking action of the appropriate wheels to maintain control and avoid the trailer dangerous oscillations. With this system, drivers can feel safe and confident in own-account transport.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
This new model Fiat is also equipped with a control system pressure (TPMS), a device that indicates the potential anomalies as a beep and a display on the screen. The TPMS is connected to an LED indicator light located in the instrument panel. If the tire pressure is low, the warning light (ISO symbols) on the instrument panel and a beep warns the driver of the immediate situation.
Rear parking sensor
When parking, may be that there are no obstacles behind the vehicle, not the driver's field of vision, or more simply, a driver may not know how close he / she has a car parked in the back. At this point, "Park Assist" can help, is activated whenever the vehicle is recovered. This system consists of four ultrasonic sensors, placed in the rear molding, which act as intermediaries, and pulse Smart receptors. The pulses are released when the reverse gear is selected, and when they meet an obstacle, which will be reflected as an echo and received by the sensors. At this point, the input signal is converted into a digital signal and sent to the electronic control unit, which activates a visual indicator of the instrument cluster display.
Passive safety
The Fiat Freemont is on top of its class in terms of passive safety features: six airbags are standard on all vehicles in the range, with active head restraints and three points for every seat (the seats before they are also equipped with pretensioners and load limiters), ISOFIX and boosters for children are properly installed on board.
Dual-stage front airbags
The front airbags Fiat Freemont has a peak two-stage system that adapts to inflation depending on the severity of an accident, as demonstrated by the restraint system and ECU sensors located front of the vehicle. The device of inflation for the first phase goes into action immediately in a collision that requires activation of an airbag. The timing device to the second phase determines if the input power required is low, medium or high. If an offer is low enough to meet the needs of the situation, the second stage, release delayed to eliminate, in the case of an accident, the pyrotechnic material is activated by the system.
The front passenger airbag is also equipped with a new "active ventilation", which is adjusted for inflation to reduce the risk of injury from the airbag. Each side air bag, a small hole, as in most of the air bags with an active vent, which is used by this innovative feature. The most active vents, in a crash to allow the airbag to inflate fully, to ensure adequate protection for a belt size passenger safety for adults.
Active head restraints
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk by limiting head movement in a crash. Maintaining the ECU system determines whether the severity or type of rear-end collisions requires activation of the rear head restraints. If their activation is necessary, the front half of the two active head restraints front extends to reduce the distance to the neck of the occupants.
Bags and side bags window
To protect passenger's pelvis and chest when the side of the car is beaten, the Fiat Freemont is equipped with side airbags that are in the files, ensure better protection of the occupants, regardless of size position take, and adjusting the seats. Standard on all vehicles in the range, window airbags was created to lower the windows to protect the heads of occupants in a side collision. Compared to other solutions, Fiat Freemont window bags offer more protection (because they always inflate in the correct position), and are faster to inflate and less invasive for passengers. They open from top to bottom, without risk of causing secondary damage to occupants' arms with their movement. Thus, they effectively protect the heads of both front seat passengers and those who were sitting behind it are as wide as the windows.
Window air bags also ensure that passengers are protected if the vehicle rolls over. The two pillows (one for the right and one to the left) are located under the roof beams collapsed in a closed compartment.
The driver and front passenger knee protection
The lower structure of the dashboard collapsed on the impact of reducing the load on the upper legs and to ensure that the driver is in the right position relative to the airbags. The lid of the storage room located under the dashboard also serves as a knee support and strengthen the protection of the front passenger. The lid collapses on impact to reduce the load on the thighs of the passenger, ensuring that he / she is responsible in the right position relative to the airbag.

Drives State-of-the-art
At launch, the Fiat Freemont is offered with front-wheel and two diesel engines: the 2.0 Multijet 16v and 140 bhp 2.0 Multijet 16v two 170 hp 2. A true concentrate of technology, which ensures the optimal balance between performance and fuel economy and driving pleasure. The Freemont soon be available in all wheel drive versions with 170 hp 2.0 Multijet 276 CV 2 and 3.6 V6 petrol, both with six-speed automatic gearbox, to provide driving comfort and safety, including time. With the exception of the powerful 3.6-liter Pentastar Chrysler Group family unit, all units of energy are produced and developed by Fiat Powertrain.
140 bhp or 170 bhp 2.0 Multijet 2
2.0 Multijet 2 is equipped with a turbocharger and a new variable oil pump, variable displacement, as well as benefit from the power of the state-of-the-art second generation Multijet technology. 2 Multijet engines to ensure economic, environmental and performance in a single market. Unlike the first generation Multijet engines, the fuel supply is now equipped with injectors faster to be able to perform multiple injections in a row. In particular, the system can now run the most important modulated fuel injection, and the important steps in anticipation of those who follow. 2 Multijet system, the servo valve with a balanced piston is able to handle up to eight injections per cycle, providing greater speed, flexibility and precision in various stages of operation. This makes it much less complicated system, with 40% fewer components, thus boosting the economy and reliability.
With the Multijet 2 with this new type of injector, now based strategies to optimize the most advanced combustion can be done, as the injection rate Shaping (IRS), which consists of two consecutive shots so close in time to generate a continuous supply of fuel into the cylinders and modulated. With this method, the combustion process is better, all in favor of particulates and nitrogen oxide (NOx). Today, the two Multijet engines fully meet the Euro 5 and at the same time, a decisive step towards more stringent regulation in the future.
Improved with new technology, Multijet 2 is equipped with a reliable and modern 6-speed gearbox. Freemont Fiat 2.0 liter engine is at the top of his class, and system performance. Proof of this is that the value of torque (350 Nm) is reached only 1750 rpm and is constantly up to 2500 rpm 170 hp version (up to 2000 rpm 140 hp version). For the normal operating range (from starting the engine to 3000 rpm), torque fall below the 300 nm to avoid the unpleasant "climb" and improve ride comfort. This makes the engine very flexible, which is the optimum acceleration 0-100 km / h and the optimal speed for maximum 11 seconds and 195 km / h, model 170 hp, 12.3 seconds and 180 km / h, the HP 140 . All this means driving dynamics and safe: the current versions, and combi-values are 6.4 l/100 km and 169 g / km of CO2.
Compliance with Euro 5 emission values is provided by a piece DPF (CCDPF) and an exhaust gas recirculation peak (EGR), where all components are combined in a single compact component (EGR module).
Driving pleasure
Fiat Freemont is surrounded by both the driver and passenger with technologies that ensure the highest level of comfort on board evidenced by a triple-zone automatic climate control, an innovative infotainment system and keyless entry / go. Similarly, the driving pleasure is guaranteed with the planned suspension and tires, and padded interior, comfortable and free of vibration isolation by super-efficient car.
Triple-zone automatic climate control
The climate inside the vehicle is a major factor of comfort when traveling and it is also important for preventive safety, but comfort, humidity and ventilation affect the driver's welfare and therefore his / level of care . Not to mention that heating and ventilation is also responsible for defrosting the windshield and side windows.
This is why the Fiat Freemont has a tri-zone automatic climate system, which allows three different temperatures and levels of air distribution to be programmed simultaneously, to the right of the left and rear cabin area. The system works by automatically controlling temperature, air capacity, air distribution, the use of the compressor and the recirculation of air. The positions of ventilation and the speed is automatically adjusted according to conditions of entry, such as outdoor temperature, indoor temperature, solar radiation and temperature of the coolant. If necessary, the direction and velocity of air flow can be manually selected and fixed.
Multimedia infotainment
The first level of trim, with an innovative infotainment system as standard, as well as a large color touch screen (4.3 "), which allows you to control various vehicle functions, such as setting the temperature of the three air-conditioned areas, and control the stereo system. System offers unmatched technology, radio / CD / MP3 player, USB, auxiliary input and Bluetooth connectivity.
Since its launch, back-up camera are also available, which allows the driver to see the image behind the vehicle touch screen when reverse gear is engaged.
Remote keyless entry / go
Fiat Freemont provides "keyless entry / go system" standard, which in the car and start the engine, simple and comfortable. You no longer need to get your key is inserted into the lock, turn, and once in the driver's seat, put it in the contact to start the engine. All you need is your personal touch with a remote control and everything changes. As you approach the car and pull the door handle, keyless entry / go control unit of the electronic system checks whether the key is nearby. When the key is located, and the secret code transmitted via radio frequency is confirmed as correct, the door opens automatically. At this point, all you have to do behind the wheel and start the engine by pressing the button on the dashboard. Once you've reached your destination is the same procedure carried out in reverse order. Turn off the engine by pressing the same button, and once out of the handle to the car door.
In order to control the unit, this is a sign that you are leaving the car, so that the keyless entry / go system, lock the doors.
Simple, practical and intelligent, the system also has a series of measures to ensure it is completely safe and secure. For example, to prevent accidental movement of the vehicle, which could be dangerous (for a child, for example) when you press the button to start the engine, the brake pedal must be pressed to communicate a true intention of leaving.
After closing the doors, the person who has the key is able to access the boot. The system not only locks the back door, but all locks are reclosable pressing the handle of the same back door. This avoids the need to give back to the car and use a door handle to control the central locking.
Front and rear suspension
Fiat Freemont ensures maximum driving pleasure, thanks to its suspension, which provides optimal management and "independence" of the road. The dynamic behavior and comfort has been improved thanks to the redesigned suspension of the car to ensure a configuration generally in line with European roads. Adjustments were made in different parts of the suspension design, the rigidity of the suspension brackets, improved front suspension geometry to reduce body roll and adjusts the shock absorbers and suspension calibrated for the optimal combination of comfort and maneuverability, which is consistent with European standards.
Fiat Freemont is a MacPherson strut front suspension with coil springs, gas shock absorbers and stabilizer bar. Benefits MacPherson suspension of their small size and ability to tune the suspension geometry, while to recover. Rear of the vehicle is a multi-link suspension with coil springs, gas shock absorbers and stabilizer bar which reduces the mobile platform to enhance cornering and handling.
Tires
Fiat Tyres Freemont use taking materials and drawings created to optimize traction on wet and dry for effective treatment with minimal noise. These characteristics have been established for each package of suspension tuning and developed in collaboration with suppliers of tires.
With its 19 "alloys, the vehicle is equipped with" M + S tires Type ", which can be used in all seasons, without the use of winter tires during the cold months.
World-class security
The Freemont Fiat is designed and built to achieve the highest degree of passive and active safety. The chassis is designed with a high damping capacity, to ensure maximum effectiveness in a crash. The body, hood, doors, seats and steering column are all designed to protect vehicle occupants. Their behavior in the case of an accident has been carefully studied. With more than a third of his body alloy high strength steel, Freemont Fiat offers a robust and reliable that provides excellent absorption of the energy created by a collision, increasing the driving comfort and excellent maneuverability.
High quality insulating materials and equipment means that wind noise road surface and the transmission is reduced to a minimum. Massa, 36% of the vehicle structure includes a resilient hot-pressed sheet steel, which is designed to optimize the body's weight and structural integrity. Extensive use of dual-phase steel front and rear members, the strengthening of the components in the tunnel and the door sill means that these components can be controlled with relatively small loads bigger. Knuckles, front control and central-forged steel, can be shortened on the body weight of 14 kg.
The Fremont has a Fiat hatchback with lightweight materials in a room that reduces vehicle weight and facilitates the opening and closing. The structural rigidity of the new Fiat car limit noise, vibration and the transmission of the surface roughness of the road to the cabin.
Active safety
Constant, predictable handling of the car to compensate for driver error, which deal with critical situations with ease. In addition to an excellent braking system, the Fiat Freemont more sophisticated electronic controls with dynamic braking and grip.
Braking System
The braking system is very effective Fiat Freemont, ensure the rapid and progressive braking, and reduce braking distances. The brakes on the front wheels are equipped with ventilated brake discs 302 and piston floating calliper with 66 mm in diameter, while the rear wheels with 305 mm brake discs and calipers with 43 mm pistons.
ABS with EBD
And a braking system that delivers excellent performance, the Fiat has an advanced ABS Freemont available today, and the control system of electric braking, EBD (electronic brake). EBD distributes braking on four wheels to stop the wheels locking and ensure full control of the car in all conditions. The system also adapts its operation under the conditions of adhesion of the wheels and the effectiveness of brake pads, while reducing it to overheat.
ESP (Electronic Stability Program)
This system operates under conditions close to scheduled when vehicle stability is at risk, and helps the driver control the car. The device allows the driver complete freedom to control the vehicle under normal conditions and intervenes only immediately before the situation becomes critical.
When there is a changing dynamics in low grip, the function takes MSR (Motor Schleppmoment Regelung), torque and preventing the restoration of the wheels from locking and sliding. To achieve this, ESP constantly monitors tire grip in both longitudinal and lateral, and restore directionality and ride stability in case of a slip. The use of sensors, detects the rotation of the body around its vertical axis (yaw speed), vehicle lateral acceleration and steering wheel angle set by the driver (which indicates the chosen direction). The device compares this information with the parameters processed by a computer and provides - through a complex mathematical model - whether the car is driving change within their control, or is about to Veer (understeer or oversteer).
To bring the car on the right lane, it generates a yaw moment opposite to the one that caused the initial instability, braking the appropriate wheel individually (internal or external) and reducing engine power (runs on gas).
TCS (traction control)
This anti-skid system optimizes traction at all speeds, which means that the brakes and engine control. The number of wheel revolutions calculated by the ABS sensors, the device computes degree of slip of the tongue and the rear grip, allows two different control systems. If excessive force is applied, causing both wheels to slip (as in the case of aquaplaning and the acceleration of the road or a road of ice or snow), engine torque is reduced, decreasing the angle of the throttle opening and then the air intake. If on the other hand, one wheel is slipping (for example, an inside of the bend, after acceleration or dynamic load changes), the system automatically brakes the wheel without the driver having to use the brake pedal. The result is similar to the self-locking differential. This allows the Fiat Freemont handle low grip road surface with ease.
Brake assist, and Hill Holder
Fiat Freemont is also equipped with automatic station (hydraulic braking assistance automatically increases braking pressure in emergency braking situations) and the Hill Holder system, during which the hill start, maintains braking for a few seconds after that the brake is released, making it easier to avoid the car and set off a recession.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM)
This is an additional function of ESP that occurs when a wheel leaves the road surface: in fact, every time a dynamic extremist movement is detected, the electronic device for turning, mitigation helps to rebalance the vehicle and control returns to the driver's car. The ERM system determines when a vehicle is operating potential and applies appropriate braking force to reduce the likelihood of this event to occur. The ERM was designed to help the driver maintain vehicle stability during emergency maneuvers or maneuvers necessary to avoid an accident.
TSC (Trailer Sway Control)
The TSC stabilizer is another new safety feature made possible by the ESP. TSC is a trailer for the intelligent control system, once it was found that the trailer is moving through special sensors, intervenes by automatically applying braking action of the appropriate wheels to maintain control and avoid the trailer dangerous oscillations. With this system, drivers can feel safe and confident in own-account transport.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
This is the new Fiat model is also equipped with a pressure monitoring system (TPMS), a device to indicate any deviation of an acoustic signal and the display. TPMS is connected to the LED is located on the instrument panel. If a tire is low pressure, the warning lights (ISO symbol) and the instrument panel and a beep warns the driver of the situation immediately.
Rear Parking Sensor
When parking, may be that there are no obstacles behind the vehicle, not the driver's field of vision, or more simply, a driver may not know how close he / she has a car parked in the back. At this point, "Park Assist" can help, is activated whenever the vehicle is recovered. This system consists of four ultrasonic sensors, placed in the rear molding, which act as intermediaries, and pulse Smart receptors. The pulses are released when the reverse gear is selected, and when they meet an obstacle, which will be reflected as an echo and received by the sensors. At this point, the input signal is converted into a digital signal and sent to the electronic control unit, which activates a visual indicator of the instrument cluster display.
Passive safety
The Fiat Freemont is on top of its class in terms of passive safety features: six airbags are standard on all vehicles in the range, with active head restraints and three points for every seat (the seats before they are also equipped with pretensioners and load limiters), ISOFIX and boosters for children are properly installed on board.
Two-stage front airbags
Freemont front airbags and Fiat has dual advanced system that adapts to the inflation rate the severity of the collision, the controller detects a security system and the sensors are located in front of the vehicle. Inflation for the first phase of the practice during the immediate effect that requires activation of airbags. The clock in the second phase to determine the required power is low, medium or large. If power is low enough to meet the situation, the second phase of publication has been delayed in order to eliminate, if it crashes, the system activates the pyrotechnic material.
The front passenger air bag is also equipped with a new "active valve" feature, which adjusts the airbag inflation to reduce accidents. Each side air bags, a small opening in the hole, such as airbags and the latest active vent, which is used by this innovative feature. Active ventilation holes in the collision, in order to inflate the air bag completely, to ensure adequate protection of an adult-sized passenger wearing a seat belt.
Active head restraints
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk by limiting head movement in a crash. Maintaining the ECU system determines whether the severity or type of rear-end collisions requires activation of the rear head restraints. If their activation is necessary, the front half of the two active head restraints front extends to reduce the distance to the neck of the occupants.
Side bags and window bags
