If, when the ignition key is turned to the
MAR position, the warning light
does not come on or, when driving, it
comes on permanently or flashes (along with a
message in the multifunction display for
versions/markets where provided), contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.The operation
of warning light may be checked by the traffic
police using specific devices. Comply with the
laws and regulations of the country where you
are driving.
DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING
either
(for versions/markets, where provided)
A few versions have an electrically operated power
assisted system, that only works with the ignition key
in the MAR-ON position and the engine started,
known as Dualdrive. fig. 66, and allows the force
required at the steering wheel to adapt to driving
conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key quickly,
full power steering functionality can be achieved after
1-2 seconds.
For some versions the control to activate the
Dualdrive electric power steering is replaced by the
control to activate the SPORT or ECO function
(see paragraph "Controls" in this chapter).
CITY FUNCTION ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
Press button A fig. 66 to turn the function on/off.
When the function is active, the CITY warning light
on the instrument panel turns on.
When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel
effort is lighter, making parking easier: therefore, this
function is particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
