"DUALDRIVE" ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE (red)
During the engine start
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the warning
light switches on, but it should switch off after a few
seconds. If the warning light stays on, turn the
ignition key to STOP position and start the engine
again.
If the warning light stays on (on some versions,
together with a message and a symbol on the
display), the effort to operate the steering wheel
could be increased; steering is, however, possible.
In this case, contact Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
While driving
If the warning light switches on whilst driving (on
some versions, together with a message and a
symbol on the display) you may not have steering
assistance.
Although it will still be possible to steer the car, the
effort needed to operate the steering wheel could be
increased: contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors
independent of the electric power steering could
cause the warning light on the instrument panel to
switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately
(should it be in motion), stop the engine for about
20 seconds and then restart the engine. If the
warning light (or, on some versions, a message and a
symbol on the display) remains on constantly,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the
steering must be initialised. The warning light
switches on to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the way
from one end to the other or drive in a straight line
for about a hundred metres.
CRUISE CONTROL (green)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on when the ignition key
is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a
few seconds, if the Cruise Control is deactivated.
The warning light switches on when the Cruise
Control ring nut is turned to
"Cruise Control" paragraph in the "Knowing your
car" chapter).
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
