Particularly strong radio frequency interfer-
ence may cause the T.P.M.S. system to func-
tion incorrectly. This condition is indicated
to the driver by a message (for versions/markets,
where provided).
The warning message will go off automatically as
soon as the radio-frequency noise ceases to disturb
the system.
External lighting failure (amber)
This warning light (or symbol on the display)
comes on when a failure is detected in any of
the following lights:
❍sidelights;
❍brake lights (for versions/markets, where provided);
❍rear fog lights;
❍direction indicators;
❍number plate lights;
❍daylight lights.
W
Rear fog lights (amber)
The warning light comes on when the rear fog
lights are turned on.
4
Front fog lights (green)
The warning light comes on when the front fog
lights are turned on.
5
Direction indicators
(green - intermittent)
The warning lights turn on when the direction
indicator control lever is moved downwards,
upwards or when the hazard warning light
button is pressed.

Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
This warning light (for versions/markets, where provid-
ed) comes on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but
it should go off after a few seconds.
Should it be necessary to travel at a speed higher than 160
km/h, inflate the tyres to the pressure value specified in
paragraph “Inflation pressures” in chapter “6”.
If the T.P.M.S. system (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) detects that the inflation pressure of one or more
tyres is unsuitable for the speed being maintained, it lights
up the warning light or symbol (together with a message
shown on the display) (see paragraph “Insufficient tyre
inflation pressure” in this chapter). The warning light
remains on until the vehicle speed is reduced to below a
certain threshold (see paragraph “T.P.M.S. system” in this
chapter).
IMPORTANT reduce speed immediately if this occurs.
Tyre overheating could irreparably compromise tyre per-
formance and life, and in extreme cases may even cause
the tyre to explode.The fault relating to these lights may be caused by: one or
more burnt lamps, a blown protection fuse or interruption
of the electrical connection.
The display will show a dedicated message.

When the function is active, “S” is displayed on the in-
strument panel. Press the button once again to deacti-
vate the function and return to the standard driving mode.
IMPORTANT The function is activated about 5 seconds
after the SPORT button is pressed.
IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and caused by a system to prevent the mo-
tor from overheating. No servicing is required. The pow-
er steering system will return to normal operation the next
time the car is used.Under no circumstances should after-market
operations be carried out involving steering
system or steering column modifications (e.g.:
installation of anti-theft device). This could nega-
tively affect performance and safety, cause the lapse
of the warranty and also result in vehicle non-com-
pliance with type-approval requirements.
Before servicing the car, switch off the engine
and remove the key from the ignition device to
activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels do not touch the
ground. If this is not possible (if the key must be on
MAR or the engine must be running), remove the
main fuse which protects the electric power steering.
On some versions, with the CITY function ac-
tivated, the SPORT function is not available.
To activate the SPORT function, deactivate the
CITY function and vice versa, because they are reci-
procally incompatible.

IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and is caused by a system to prevent the
motor from overheating. No servicing is required. The
power steering system will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car may be equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring
system (T.P.M.S.). This system comprises a radio fre-
quency transmitter fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim
inside the tyre), which is able to send information on the
tyre inflation pressure of each wheel to the control unit.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE
T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
The fault indications are not stored and will therefore not
be displayed after the engine has been switched off and
then on again. If the fault conditions persist, the control
unit will send the relative indications to the instrument
panel only after the vehicle has been in motion for a short
time.
Before servicing the car, always switch off the
engine and remove the key from the ignition
to activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels do not touch the
ground. If this is not possible (the key must be on
MAR or the engine must be running), remove the
main fuse that protects the electric power steering.
The T.P.M.S.system is not able to detect sud-
den tyre inflation pressure losses (for exam-
ple when a tyre explodes). In this case stop
the car, braking with care and avoiding sharp steer-
ing actions.
