What it means
"DUALDRIVE" ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on but it should switch off after a few
seconds. If the warning light stays on, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the
display, you may not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel
could be notably increased; steering is, however, possible.
In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the warning light switches on while driving (on some versions, together with a dedicated message
on the display) you may not have steering assistance. Although it will still be possible to steer
the vehicle, 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 stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT NOTE The steering must be initialised after disconnecting the conventional battery. The
warning light turns 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.
OPEN DOORS / BONNET / BOOT (versions with multifunctional display)
The warning light appears on the display, together with a dedicated message, on some versions,
when one or more doors, the tailgate or the bonnet (for versions/markets, where provided) are not
properly closed. An acoustic warning is also emitted with the doors open and the car in motion.
What it means

BRAKE PAD WEAR

The warning light switches on, together with a dedicated message on the display, if the front or rear
brake pads (on version/markets, where provided) are worn. In this case have them replaced as soon
as possible.
