1. BRIEFING
1.1 THE VEHICLE AND THE DESIGN
Exterior design is undoubtedly one of the strengths of the New Bravo.
Its appealing, sporty design is the result of in-depth studies by Fiat Style Centre aimed at restoring a
strong brand image in keeping with the true essence of the masterpieces of Italian car making that
marked Fiat's history.
Fiat's new challenger in the C-segment takes its styling clues from the Grande Punto to enhance Fiat's
new design philosophy and brand consistency. The dynamic, streamlined design of the hatchback body
conveys emotion and visual appeal combined with a sense of interior roominess and function.
The cab is roomy and easy to access thanks to the tall body, while the windscreen is more raked and
its base has been moved forward to lend the car a sleek, aerodynamic design. The compact, sloping
front blends smoothly with the windscreen's slanted lines and lends the car body a dynamic MPV look.
The wedge-shaped body and steep beltline provide an aggressive look, while curvy styling and
minimalist design make the New Bravo look like a sculpture.
Distinctive styling cues front and rear enhance the emotional, unmistakably Italian styling.
The front end takes its styling cues from the Grande Punto: sleek headlights inspired by the tradition of
Italian Grand Tourers, a narrow, rounded-contour grille and above all a striking balance between all
stylistic elements. All this communicates stylish appearance and strong brand identity combined with
fresh, original styling and a visible premium character compared to its sibling.
The stylish fog lights incorporating a cornering light function are flanked by massive air vents, whereas
the headlamps sport a contemporary look with cylindrical lights and chrome frames.
The grille boasts Fiat's new logo installed in a recess in the bumper.
The large wraparound bumper has been designed to meet the most stringent safety standards
concerning pedestrian protection and reduce damage in the event of a collision.
The clean, uncluttered, yet expressive design of the tail perfectly complements front end styling.
The tail lights recall those of the first-generation Bravo from the Nineties (one of the few car models
from that period that has successfully stood the test of time in terms of appearance and styling) to lend
character to the tail and perfectly blend in with other stylistic elements, such as the smoothly flowing
lines of the wide rear window.
The raked rear window greatly contributes to the overall impression of power and solidity of the tail
typical of Grand Tourers.
This is an unusual styling choice in this segment, traditionally focused on communicating functionality.
The result is a visibly strong shoulder that becomes apparent when seen from three-quarter views and
is further emphasised by the rear light clusters which have been pushed all the way out to the very
corners of the vehicle.
The broad anthracite protection shell emerging from the lower end of the bumper and flowing into the
signature omega-shaped panel enhances the sporty look of the tail and complements its clean overall
appearance.
Interior styling echoes the themes of bodywork design.
The refined, contemporary-looking dashboard offers a striking balance between moulded panels and
round surfaces, yet retains an impression of minimalist design.
This is an innovative concept based on driver-oriented design, with a broad, finely finished fascia
surrounding the instrument cluster and feature-packed central console.

1.6 ERGONOMICS AND COMFORT
Bravo design focuses on ergonomics and comfort, placing great emphasis on ease of access, interior
space and passenger accommodation. There are several factors contributing to the overall comfortable
and roomy feel of the cab:
Ergonomics
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
position of the pedal unit,
steering wheel alignment,
armrest position,
correct position of footrest,
shifter knob within easy reach is easier to operate
improved visibility of instruments and key controls
the seats offer great lateral support both in the standard and Sport configuration to hold occupant body
securely during a spirited drive.
Comfort
Protection from exterior noise intrusion
Interior noise
Reduction of vibration and rolling noise
Acoustic sensitivity to excitation transmitted through solids
Solid chassis response when riding over rough roads
Dynamic systems: engine, intake and exhaust
These factors contribute to the Bravo's high comfort levels in line with top competitors without
compromising on styling and performance.
1.7 ERGONOMICS AND INTERIOR SPACE
When evaluating cab components, customers' perception of in-cab comfort seems to focus entirely
around the driver's position.
The area surrounding the driver's seat and the components located in it seems to be the key factor in
determining customers' judgement on the overall comfort they can expect of a car.
As a matter of fact, nearly all components mentioned by the target when asked to list “the most
significant cab features in assessing in-cab comfort” are located in this area.
As a result, ergonomics research aims at achieving the following goals:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Reduction of critical transient environmental conditions: heat, cold, humidity, poor air exchange
Reduction of disturbing factors below the perception level: noise, electromagnetic fields, bothersome
air flow speed, ionising radiation, unpleasant odours, poor air hygiene, allergens, etc..
Constant replenishment of fresh, filtered air
Continuous, unobtrusive monitoring of significant biological parameters
Control of in-cab environmental conditions, with the possibility of customising conditions over time, in
space and according to the different needs of individual occupants.
Air free from chemical/physical/biological contaminants and pollutants which are kept below
concentrations triggering a biological response under all conditions
Elimination of complex manual adjustments, user-friendly controls
Continuous adaptation of driving and control systems, both globally and at each individual seat, to
changing usage, environmental and psychophysical conditions

Roominess: ability to accommodate user offering optimal posture (comfort-related) and giving a feel of
space (relates to pleasantness).
Access: ability to ensure ease of entry/exit (towards door opening, door sill, interior dimensions) with
minimal changes in posture and a natural movement (vertical, transverse, longitudinal, perceived)
Ergonomics is at the core of Bravo's design. The result is a perfect balance between Styling, Safety
and Customer needs in terms of comfort and roominess, ease of access, interior visibility (with an
optimal layout of controls, which are all fully visible and within easy reach) and exterior visibility, aided
by the generously sized side mirrors.
The Bravo offers a comfortable ride to occupants of all sizes, while achieving best-in-class boot
capacity with over 400 litres in the standard configuration with 5 passengers.
As a matter of fact, in-cab comfort means making space available to occupants right where they need it
and the Bravo boasts class-leading passenger volume. In addition, it affords a sense of protection
enhanced by the quality of interior trim and upholstery.
These winning features are becoming increasingly important due to the increasing amount of time
people spend driving, the growing popularity of high-end - roomier - car models and the increasing
average height of the population. Bravo provides excellent comfort in terms of shoulder room both front
and rear with top-of-the-class performance under all respects: roominess, ease of access, visibility and
user-friendliness. This means improved comfort when getting in and out of the car and - once seated creates a comfortable environment.
Great emphasis has been placed on occupant posture and seat configuration. Pedal position, steering
wheel alignment, ideal footrest position, the shifter ensuring great ease of operation and the fully visible
instruments and key controls make for a pleasant driving experience. The seats offer great lateral
support to hold occupant body securely during a spirited drive.
Cab profile has been designed to generously accommodate five passengers.
Vehicle set-up has been defined according to the most advanced ergonomics concepts in line with
styling and safety requirements:
1. Roominess and passenger volume
• Cab comfort
• Ease of access
• Visibility
• Load compartment
• Usability
All of these functions are associated with parameters that provide a measure of the car's ability to meet
passengers' requirements in terms of comfort.
Outlined below are Bravo's dimensions compared to those of its main competitors.

1.8 ROOMINESS AND PASSENGER VOLUME
Bravo's interior space achieves an optimal balance between cab volumes, offering unexpected
roominess for a car with such compact, dynamic exterior design.
Those parameters that dictate driver's and passengers' posture and seat position in the various
configurations, overall cab comfort and passenger volume have been optimised so as to achieve the
ideal balance between exterior styling and interior volume.
As a result, the Bravo boasts class-leading passenger volume.
Internal volumes are defined by the following dimensions: effective head room front and rear (H61-1
and H61-2), H point to Heel point front and rear (H30-1 and H30-2), accelerator to front H point (L61),
H point couple distance (L50-1), maximum effective leg room - accelerator (L34), minimum effective leg
room rear (L51) and shoulder room (W3-1 and W3-2).
Interior dimensions are measured in accordance with the GCIE List issued by the Global Car
Information Exchange Group to establish comparable dimensional parameters among manufacturers.
Again, a comparison of individual interior dimensions according to the GCIE List puts the Bravo at the
top of its class.
1.9 BOOT COMPARTMENT
The boot's regular shape has been designed to strike a balance between exterior styling and interior
volume, achieving over 400 litres in the 5-seat configuration and up to 1175 litres in the 2-seat
configuration.
Virtual modelling resulted in a roomy cargo compartment with ample, totally usable space.
Versatility is ensured by the folding rear seat for greatly enlarged load carrying capacity. The rear seat
is split to accommodate bulky items while retaining 3 to 4-passenger seating capacity.

3.4 DPF SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Installed in the exhaust line, the DPF uses a regeneration system to eliminate soot particles when they
have built up beyond a certain limit. Particulate matter is eliminated during a post-combustion phase.
Diesel-engine Fiat Bravo models equipped with DPF use a differential pressure sensor with a single
pressure port upstream of the filter; the second pressure port has been eliminated as the sensor is
ported to the atmosphere; filter clogging is determined based on the difference between pressure
upstream of the filter and the atmosphere and the ECU is set to process the modified differential
pressure parameter appropriately.
Shown in the following figure are the pressure inlets on the sensor

4. CLUTCH AND GEARBOX
All (petrol and Diesel) engines use clutch plates with environmentally-safe lining in accordance with
European Directives concerning environmental protection. All (petrol and Diesel) engines feature a
hydraulically-controlled Concentric Slave Cylinder (CSC) for clutch disengagement.
On Multijet versions, the CSC system is combined with a play take-up system that compensates for
clutch plate wear to ensure consistent clutch operation throughout vehicle life.
The 1.4 16V engine is mated to the C514 gearbox that provides ease of use, low running noise and
lightweight; driveline layout features a transversely mounted engine with end-on mounted gearbox and
differential; gear synchronisation for all gears (including reverse) is of the brass free-ring (Borg-Warner)
type and its layout is as follows: 1st and 2nd speed synchroniser ring on secondary shaft, 3rd, 4th and
5th speed synchroniser ring on main shaft, reverse synchroniser ring on intermediate shaft.
Since the 1st and 2nd speeds are most frequently used and heavily stressed in service, they use a
double-cone synchroniser that reduces engagement effort by 40% compared to equally sized
conventional synchronisers.
120 and 150 bhp Multijet engines are mated to the C530 gearbox, that offers superior performance and
smooth operation.
5. BRAKES
The braking system uses sophisticated electronic and mechanical technology normally found on lastgeneration upmarket vehicles:
ABS: (Anti-Lock Braking System), prevents wheel lockout;
EBD (Electronic Braking Distribution): distributes braking power evenly to front and rear wheels;
ESP (Electronic Stability Program): electronic stability control;
Hill Holder (with ESP): automatic feature for stopping and starting uphill with no need to operate the
handbrake.
HBA system (Hydraulic Brake Assistant): electro-hydraulic brake assist system that automatically
increases brake pressure in a panic braking situation (with ESP).
Bosch 8.1 ABS is the latest state-of-art technology available to date: it features a hydraulic control unit
with 8 solenoid valves, 4 active sensors and 4 channels with proportioning valve; in the ESP versions,
the electro-hydraulic unit features 12 solenoid valves; the steering wheel sensor is installed on the
steering column, whereas the yaw sensor is located on the central floor near the central console and
detects side acceleration, yaw speed and vehicle inclination (for the Hill Holder function).

A large-size long-stroke Bosch servo brake (10” diameter) with aluminium pump provides longer pedal
travel so as to ensure sufficient travel in the event of severe overheating under heavy-duty usage
conditions.
The Bravo uses a pedal unit with plastic support accommodating brake, clutch and accelerator pedals.
Accelerator and clutch pedals are made from plastic.
The pedal unit is equipped with an anti-intrusion system that causes the pedals to collapse in the event
of a collision for improved lower limb protection.

6. SUSPENSIONS
6.1 FRONT SUSPENSION DESCRIPTION
Independent Mac Pherson strut suspension with damper and spring providing dampening and acting
as stressed member and wheel location device.
The key components of the suspension are outlined below:
Twin-shell pressed metal wishbones (with the patented “butterfly” layout) provide significant weight
saving compared to the Stilo to reduce unsprung weight.
Extremely rigid front suspension crossbeam with a transverse linking strap close to the front link
attachments.
“Dual-path” double front strut mounts filter out road vibration more efficiently, while ensuring a high
level of structural rigidity for enhanced steering precision.
The anti-roll bar is stiffer than that of the Stilo for improved efficiency and is connected to the shock
absorbers via link attachments for enhanced stability and prompter response when cornering.
New, stiffer coil springs use the 'side-load' technique to optimise thrust axis, so as to reduce tangential
loads on the damper shaft and internal friction (system hysteresis) and provide a supple ride over minor
road bumps.
Double rate telescopic hydraulic dampers with 22 mm shaft on Multijet versions and 20 mm shaft on
1.4 petrol engine versions provide high lateral rigidity and better roadholding when cornering.
In addition, rigidity and caster angle have been increased by adopting a stiffer bodyshell and a
redesigned upper strut attachment to the bodyshell, resulting in improved steering precision, better
feedback and enhanced comfort.

6.3 REAR SUSPENSION DESCRIPTION
The semi-independent rear suspension with a rear torsion beam axle connecting the wheels is derived
from the Stilo predecessor, however with an optimised layout.
The new tubular anti-roll bar is derived from the Stilo but is 40% stiffer, resulting in a 40% increase in
anti-roll performance, which benefits both steering accuracy and roadholding.
The vertically mounted dampers are attached to the bodyshell inside the wheelarch to filter out road
vibration and sound-deadening has been improved to lessen cabin noise. The torsion beam axle is
made up two pressed metal side arms welded to a torsion side section with the new anti-roll bar
installed inside the crossbeam and welded to the side arms.
Axle hydraulic connection bushes ensure greater longitudinal flexibility and comfort than the rubber-onmetal bushes and feature sturdier design and shoulders; the new bushes come standard on the Stilo
since October 2005.

7.6 ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
Description
Bravo is equipped with an electric power steering system. This system generates torque (force*movement)
which supplements the torque applied by driver to the steering wheel to reduce steering effort.
The system consists of a steering box with a conventional rack-and-pinion system, an electric motor with a
rack and pinion connected to the steering column, a torque sensor (that measures the torque applied to the
steering wheel), a mode button to choose between two different assist levels (City or Normal) and a control
unit that determines the amount of assistance needed.
The assist force (power assist) to be added to the steering torque applied by the driver is dependant on the
following parameters:
•
•
•
•
•
steering torque applied by driver
vehicle speed
steering wheel rotation angle
steering wheel rotation speed
selected EPS mode (City or Normal)
This system provides the following functions under all operating conditions:
•
•
•
keeps steering effort below a certain value according to selected power assist mode (City - Normal)
ensure correct return of the steering wheel to centre position
dampen steering wheel oscillation during return.
Electric power steering offers the following benefits over hydraulic systems:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
fewer components mean less weight and a simplified layout
easier and faster installation and/or service
the system will only draw power when power assist is required, making for improved vehicle
performance and less consumption and emissions
less operating noise improves driving comfort
variable power assist depending on vehicle speed
power assist mode (City/Normal) can be selected to suit driver's needs to facilitate parking

FIAT BRAVO COURSE OUTLINE
Training Academy
On SPORT versions, a SPORT mode is available instead of the CITY mode: it kicks in in under 5
seconds after the mode button is pressed to deliver faster response under acceleration and a harder
steering for the appropriate steering feel
Basic control strategies
The electric power steering control unit controls the electric servomotor to provide assist torque and aid
steering wheel rotation depending on steering input from the driver and vehicle speed.
The motor applies assist torque to the steering column via a worm-gear transmission to decrease manual
steering effort.
Variable power assist depending on vehicle speed
Steering effort (turning torque applied to the steering wheel) decreases proportionally with increasing
vehicle speed as rolling resistance will decrease at higher speeds.
The control unit uses vehicle speed inputs to reduce power assist force.
Return assist
When the steering wheel is released after steering, the geometry of the vehicle's front end will cause it to
return it to centre position.
At low speed, the steering wheel is slower to return or may not return to centre fully and electric power
steering actuates the servo motor to achieve faster, more accurate return.
Return assist applies the required amount of assist force depending on vehicle speed:
•
•
maximum assist force is provided at low speeds
minimum or no assist force is provided at high speeds
Gearmotor
The cast aluminium housing of the gearmotor is mounted on vehicle chassis.
The gearmotor gear is integral and concentric with the steering column and is made of steel, whereas the
gear wheel mounted on the output shaft is co-moulded plastic.
The metal part of the gear is integral with the electric motor shaft that transmits the steering torque
(provided by the servomotor) to supplement manual torque applied by the driver.
The input and output shafts are connected by a calibrated torsion bar.
During steering, the steering resistance (torque) of the wheels is transmitted back to the output shaft and
the input shaft twists the torsion bar; hence, the angle of twist between the input and output shaft is
proportional to the torque applied to the steering wheel.
A torque sensor mounted inside the input shaft detects the twist between input and output shaft and sends
a proportional signal to the control unit.
The gearmotor housing also accommodates the external section of the "torque and position sensor”.
The input shaft sleeve is also connected to gearmotor housing, which accommodates both the ignition
switch and the stalk switch.

Operation
The system provides steering assist by applying the torque generated by a brushless motor to the steering
column via a worm and helical gear set.
A diagram showing system operation is provided below.
A - Optical torque sensor
B - Electric Power Steering Node
1 - Optical torque sensor signal
2 - Optical torque sensor power supply
3 - Motor control
4 - Motor position reading
5 - Data transfer over CAN network: vehicle speed, vehicle status, signals
6 - Connection with Body Computer Node (NBC)
7 - Power supply
The assist force (power assist) to be added to the steering torque applied by the driver is dependant on the
following parameters:
•
•
•
•
•
steering torque applied by driver,
vehicle speed,
steering wheel rotation angle,
steering wheel rotation speed,
selected assist mode (City or Normal).
This system provides the following functions under all operating conditions:
• keeps steering effort below a certain value according to selected power assist mode (City or Normal);
• ensures correct return of the steering wheel to centre position (return assist);
• dampens steering wheel oscillation during return (dampening function).

Control strategies
Assist torque is the resultant of the following forces:
•
•
a main component which is a function of the torques applied by the driver and supplied by selected
assist mode (City or Normal);
the "dampening" and "return assist" components, which are a function of steering speed (and torque
applied by the driver) and steering wheel angle, respectively;

Operation
The electric power steering system is managed by control unit M86.
The control unit is fed directly from the battery via a line protected by fuse F72 located in the maxi-fuse
box on battery B99 C, at pin A of connector A of M86.
Pin B of connector A of M86 is connected to ground.
Key-on power is provided by the line protected by fuse F24 of the engine compartment control unit B1, at
pin 1 of connector B of M86.
Body Computer M1 is fed directly from the battery via the line protected by the maxi-fuse of B99 at pin 18
of connector F that provides an interface with the under-dash control unit B2; key-on power (INT) is at pin
9 of connector F that provides an interface with control unit B2.
Control unit M86 is connected to the other nodes via the CAN network (pins 7-8 and 5-6 of connector B),
such as Body Computer M1 and instrument panel E50, to which it sends the signals for the "Electric
Power Steering malfunction light" and “CITY” mode on indication.
The CITY mode select button (that provides less steering effort) is located in the control assembly in the
middle of the dashboard, driver side, H90 connector A: the "CITY mode on" signal is sent to pin 20 of
connector H of M1 and relayed over the CAN network to control unit M86.
Self-diagnosis data are output to connector C of Body Computer M1; connector pin 9 receives the signals
from pin 4 of connector B of M86 via the dedicated diagnostics line.

9.3 TROUBLESHOOTING A BATTERY DRAINAGE PROBLEM
Examiner's “Can Network Monitor” function enables you to troubleshoot the causes for a battery
drainage problem or a battery not holding the charge due to CAN network failure events with the key
set to Stop; Examiner may be used to test the CAN network for the desired period of time (also in
excess of 24 hours).
The following procedure will enable you to easily determine which control units are causing the
problem:
1. Charge the battery and connect the Examiner Tester to the car's diagnostic connector; select Control
Unit Test, select model and version and run the CAN Network Monitor programme included in “Other
systems”.
2. Launch the programme and turn the ignition key to STOP. Access the Acquisition environment,
choose the network you want tested (B-CAN or C-CAN) and select acquisition time; at the end this time
interval, a list of all control units that have been sending messages over the network will be displayed.
3. From the Acquisition environment you may access the Graphics and Times functions for an in-depth
review of acquired information. Each screen provides PRINT and HELP buttons with a detailed
description of available functions.

9.4 ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
STEERING SHAFT
Steering noise
TROUBLE
Steering noise (repeated knocking noises).
PROCEDURE
-
Steer repeatedly in both directions at parking speed to check for steering noise (repeated knocking
noises).
If you find any steering noise, loosen the screw (1b - Fig.1) and detach the steering shaft yoke (1a)
from the pinion.
NOTE
-
Before disconnecting the steering shaft yoke, mark a timing mark across yoke (1a - Fig.1) and
steering box pinion splines so as to ensure correct orientation when you reconnect the yoke.
Turn the steering wheel and check for noise (ensure lower shaft does not interfere with pedals and
associated components).
Pull the lower end of the shaft as far it will go.
Apply about 10 cc of Klübersynth LI 44-22 grease on the sliding area of the lower shaft (see arrow in
Fig.1).
Fig. 1
-
Slide the male end of the shaft up and down (in an axial movement) so grease will fill all points of shaft
female end and keep the lower end of the shaft fully extended (pulled out).
Remove the fuse carrier cover (Op. 7040A37) to gain access to the upper section of the steering
column.
Connect a grease needle with an outer diameter of about 6 mm to a grease gun

FIAT BRAVO COURSE OUTLINE
Training Academy
Insert the grease needle into the upper hole of the steering shaft (1 - Fig 2) and push until it contacts
the top end of shaft male end; to verify contact, push the shaft slightly back in and observe the needle
being pushed back out.
NOTE Cut the needle tip at a 45° angle to facilitate insertion.
Fig. 2
-
Inject about 40 cc of Klübersynth LI 44-22 grease in several steps; hold the needle pushed all the way
in during the process.
Slide the male end of the shaft up and down (in an axial movement) so grease will fill all points of
shaft female end.
Refit the yoke to the steering box pinion (observe the timing mark to achieve correct orientation); do
not reuse the screw (1b - Fig.1); tighten the new screw to 5.0 ÷ 6.1 daNm.
NOTE
-
If the steering wheel is turned over more than 360° while the steering shaft is disconnected from
the pinion, you will have to perform the steering angle calibration procedure using Examiner.
Test the steering wheel to ensure the noise has disappeared.
