market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in non-
compliance of the car with homolo-

gation requirements.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure is indicated by instrument pan-
el warning light g coming on together
with the message on the reconfigurable
multifunction display (where provided)
(see section "Warning lights and mes-
sages").
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, fac-
tors independent from the electric pow-
er steering could cause the illumination of
the warning light g on the instrument
panel.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
In this case, immediately stop the car, turn
off the engine for about 20 seconds and
then turn on again the engine. If the warn-
ing light g is still on, along with the mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multifunction-
al display (where provided), contact Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT The steering may become
slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres
including a great deal of steering. This is
normal and caused by a system to prevent
motor overheating. No servicing is re-
quired. The power steering system will re-
turn to normal operation the next time
the car is used.
