2014 FIAT BRAVO steering wheel

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE (red)
The warning light comes on when the ignition key is
turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off after
a few seconds.
The electric power steering system will not work
when the warning light is on and considerably more
effort is needed on the steering wheel. The car
can still be steered. In this case, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
The display will show the dedicated message.“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING ACTIVATION (indication
on display)
The indication CITY switches on when the
"Dualdrive" electric power steering system is
activated by pressing the
button on the dashboard.
The indication CITY will switch off when the
button is pressed again.
EXCESSIVE ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE (red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the
warning light switches on, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. The warning light turns on when
the engine is overheated. If the warning light comes
on, proceed as follows:
❒when driving normally:stop the car, switch off
the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait
for the engine to cool down, then slowly and
carefully open the cap, top up with coolant and
check that the level is between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir. Also check visually for
any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning
light switches on again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
❒If the car is used under demanding
conditions(e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully
loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on, stop
the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine
running and slightly accelerated to further favour
the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine.
Check the correct coolant level as described
above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable
to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for
a few minutes before switching it off.
The display will show the dedicated message.

IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or
more flat tyres as handling may be compromised.
Stop the car, avoiding harsh braking and steering
manoeuvres. Replace the wheel immediately with the
space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided) or carry out a repair using the dedicated
kit (see “Changing a wheel” in the "In an emergency"
chapter) and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Check tyre pressure
This warning light switches on in the instrument
panel to indicate that the tyre pressure is below the
value recommended to guarantee long tyre life
and low fuel consumption. It may also indicate a slow
loss of pressure.
Should two or more tyres be flat, the display will
show the indications corresponding to each tyre in
sequence.
Restore correct tyre pressures as soon as possible
(see “Cold tyre pressures” in the “Technical
specifications” chapter).Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
Should you need to travel at a speed higher than 160
km/h, inflate the tyres to the pressures specified in
“Tyre pressures” paragraph.
If the TPMS system (for versions/markets where
provided) detects that the pressure of one or more
tyres is unsuitable for the current speed, the warning
light will turn on (together with the message on
the display) (see “Tyre pressure low” in this chapter)
and it will stay on until the car slows down to a
speed below the preset threshold.
IMPORTANT In this case slow down immediately
since tyre overheating could impair tyre performance
and life beyond repair, and even make the tyre to
blow-out.
WARNING
Particularly strong radio frequency
interference may cause the TPMS to
function incorrectly.This condition is indicated
to the driver by a message (for versions/markets
where provided).The message will disappear
automatically as soon as the interference ceases
to affect the system.

WARNING
This procedure must be performed by
expert personnel because incorrect
actions could cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and
lighted cigarettes away from the battery and do
not cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not active until
the engine is started. A much greater effort will
therefore be required to use the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
CHANGING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the “Fix&Go Automatic
Kit”: see paragraph “Fix&Go Automatic Kit” for
instructions on how to use this device. As an
alternative to the “Fix&Go Automatic Kit” the car
may be equipped with a space-saver wheel: see
the instructions on the following pages for changing
the wheel.
WARNING
The space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided) is specific to
your car, do not use it on other models, or use
the space-saver wheel of other models on your
car.The space-saver wheel must only be used
in case of emergency. It must only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a service
point and the car speed must not exceed 80
km/h.The space-saver wheel has an orange
sticker that summarises the main cautions for
use and limitations. Never remove or cover
the sticker.The following information is
provided in four languages on the sticker:
"Important! For temporary use only! 80 km/h
max.! Replace with a standard wheel as soon as
possible. Never cover this indication". Never
apply a hub cap on a space-saver wheel.

WARNING
Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR-ON and then to STOP without
removing it .The steering column will
automatically lock when the key is removed and
the wheels cannot be steered.
WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power steering is not available, greater
force needs to be exerted on the brake pedal
and more effort is required on the steering
wheel. Do not use flexible cables when towing
and avoid jerky movements. During towing,
make sure that the trailer hitch does not
damage any components it is touching.When
towing the car, it is compulsor y to respect
specific highway code regulations relating to
the tow hook and procedures for towing on the
road.
WARNING
Do not star t the engine while towing the
car.
