Fiat Bravo Owner's Manual page 96

When the function is on, the S symbol is
lit on the instrument panel. Press the but-
ton again to turn off the function and re-
store normal steering settings.
IMPORTANT when the SPORT button is
pressed, the function activates after about
5 seconds.
IMPORTANT during acceleration, when
the SPORT function is in use, it is possible
to feel steering judder, which is typical of
this sporty setting.
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 electric power steering sys-
tem will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs
will greatly affect consumption and emis-
sions: to contain fuel consumption accel-
eration should be gradual.
Using the SPORT function, fuel consump-
tion will be slightly higher than the values
stated in paragraph "Fuel consumption" in
this Supplement.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
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.
WARNING
Always switch the engine off,
remove the key from the
starting device and actuate the steer-
ing lock before carrying out any main-
tenance operation, especially when
the wheels are raised from the
ground. In case this is not possible
(e.g. when the key must be in MAR
position or the engine running), re-
move the electric power steering
main fuse before carrying out any
maintenance operation.
