REDUCING THE MEMORIZED
SPEED
The stored speed can be increased in two
ways:
❒by turning the device off and then
storing a new speed;
or
❒ moving the stalk downwards (–) until
reaching the new speed which will be
memorised automatically.
Each movement of the lever will corre-
spond to a slight reduction in speed (about
1 km/h), while keeping the lever held
downwards will correspond to a continu-
ous speed reduction.
DISENGAGING THE DEVICE
Turn ring A-fig. 75to OFFor the igni-
tion key to STOP. If the device has been
disengaged, for example by pressing the
brake or clutch pedal.
If the device is faulty, turn
ring A to OFF, check the fuse
and contact a Fiat Dealership.

DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
The car is provided with an electric pow-
er steering system which only works with
the key at MARand the engine running.
The system called “Dualdrive” allows to
customise the effort required to turn the
steering wheel according to driving con-
ditions.
ON/OFF (CITY function)
Press CITY fig. 126in the central part of
the dashboard to turn the function on and
off.
The CITYwarning light on the instru-
ment panel will light up when the function
is on; in other versions, the message
CITYwill appear on the reconfigurable
multifunctional display.
With the CITYfunction the effort on the
steering wheel is lighter, thus facilitating
parking manoeuvres: this is particularly
useful when driving in towns.
fig. 126F0H0716m
Under no circumstances
should aftermarket opera-
tions involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety. This also
causes the warranty to become null
and void and results in vehicle non-
compliance with type-approval re-
quirements.
WARNING
The car can be driven using the mechani-
cal steering in case of failure to the elec-
tric power steering system. Take the car
to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT The steering may before
stiffer when parking requiring a lot of
steering. This is normal and caused by the
electric control motor overheating sys-
tem. No repairs are needed. The power
steering system will start working prop-
erly again the next time the car is used.
Before starting any mainte-
nance operation, stop the
engine and remove the key from the
ignition switch to operate the steer-
ing lock, particularly when the car is
lifted off the ground. If this is not pos-
sible (i.e. if the key must be kept in
the MAR position or the engine must
be kept running), remove the main
electric power steering system fuse.
WARNING
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Electric power steering failure is indicated
by the turning on of warning light
gon
the instrument panel together with the
dedicated message on the reconfigurable
multifunctional display (where provided),
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a bulb is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing it: refer to the “If a
fuse blows” paragraph in this chapter
for fuse location.
❒before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power.
❒Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb. Versions with alloy rims
❒Check that the hub contact surfaces
are clean;
❒fit the normal wheel centring it on the
pins, lead in the fastening screws and
tighten them using the wrench pro-
vided;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒using the wrench provided, fully tight-
en the bolts in the sequence shown
in fig. 16.
❒snap fit the wheel cup on the hub.
When you have finished
❒stow the spare wheel C-fig. 11 in the
space provided in the boot;
❒Fit the jack partially open in its box B-
fig. 11forcing it lightly to prevent it
from vibrating when travelling;
❒put the tools back into their places in
the container;
❒arrange the container and tools in the
spare wheel and secure the fastening
device A-fig. 11;
❒rearrange the preformed boot cover
correctly.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) that are not car-
ried out properly or do not take the
technical specifications of the system
into account can cause malfunctions
leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which may cause
small fragments of glass to be pro-
jected outwards if the bulb is broken.
WARNING
Halogen lamps must be han-
dled holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transpar-
ent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even compromise du-
ration of the lamp itself. In the case of
accidental contact, rub the lamp with
a cloth and spirit and leave to dry.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after hard rain or after wash-
ing, the area of headlamps or rear lights,
may steam up and/or form drops of con-
densation on the inside. This is a natural
phenomenon due to the difference in tem-
perature and humidity between the inside
and the outside of the glass which does
not indicate a fault and does not compro-
mise the normal operation of lighting de-
vices. The mist disappears quickly turn-
ing the lights on, starting from the centre
of the diffuser, extending progressively to-
wards the edges.
