2014 FIAT BRAVO charging

The activation of the function is signalled by the
word CITY on the display (in some versions it is
signalled by the switching on of the warning light
CITY).
When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel
effort is lighter and parking operations are easier:
therefore this function is particularly useful for
driving in city centres.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the electric power steering system is
indicated by instrument panel warning light
coming
on together with a message on the display (on
some versions together with a symbol on the display)
(see “Warning lights and messages” chapter).
In the event of electric power steering system failure,
the car can be driven with mechanical steering.
SPORT FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The vehicle may be equipped with a system that
allows a choice between two styles of driving, normal
and sports.
Pressing the SPORT button fig. 93 produces a sporty
driving setting characterised by higher acceleration
response and more effort required at the steering
wheel for a sporty driving sensation.
Pressing the SPORT button also activates the
turbocharger supercharging function (overboost).Via this function the engine management control unit
allows - in relation to the position of the accelerator
pedal and for a limited time - maximum pressure
levels to be reached inside the turbocharger, with a
consequent increase in engine torque with respect to
that which is normally possible.
This function is particularly useful whenever
maximum performance is required for a short time
(e.g. when overtaking).
The letter S is lit up in the instrument panel display
when the function is switched on. Press the button
again to switch the function off and restore the
normal driving setting.

and fire.
WARNING

battery: it must be thawed first ,
otherwise it may explode. If freezing has
