STEERING WHEEL LOCK
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passive electronic
steering wheel lock. This lock prevents steering the
vehicle without the ignition key. If the steering wheel is
moved to one of the lock positions with the key in the
off positions, the steering wheel will lock.
TO MANUALLY LOCK THE STEERING
WHEEL
With the engine running, rotate the steering wheel
one-half revolution in either direction (three o’clock or
nine o’clock position), turn off the engine and remove
the key. Turn the steering wheel slightly in either
direction until the lock engages.
TO RELEASE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK
Cycle the ignition and start the engine.
NOTE:If you turned the wheel to the right to engage
the lock, you must turn the wheel slightly to the right
to disengage it. If you turned the wheel to the left to
engage the lock, turn the wheel slightly to the left to
disengage it.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INFORMATION
CENTER (EVIC) DISPLAYS
The EVIC display consists of three sections:
1. The top line where compass direction, odometerline and outside temperature are displayed.
2. The main display area where the menus and pop up messages are displayed.
3. The reconfigurable telltales section below the odometer line.
The main display area will normally display the main
menu or the screens of a selected feature of the main
menu. The main display area also displays "pop up"
messages that consist of approximately 60 possible
warning or information messages. These pop up mes-
sages fall into several categories:
• Five Second Stored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for five
seconds and then returns to the previous screen. Most
of the messages of this type are then stored (as long as
the condition that activated it remains active) and can
be reviewed from the "Messages" main menu item. As
long as there is a stored message, an "i" will be displayed
in the EVIC's compass/outside temp line. Examples of
this message type are "Right Front Turn Signal Lamp
Out" and "Low Tire Pressure". • Unstored Messages
This message type is displayed indefinitely or until the
condition that activated the message is cleared. Ex-
amples of this message type are "Turn Signal On" (if a
turn signal is left on) and "Lights On" (if driver leaves
the vehicle).
• Unstored Messages Until RUN
This message type is displayed until the ignition is in the
RUN state. Example of this message type is "Press
Brake Pedal and Push Button to Start".
• Five Second Unstored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for five
seconds and then returns to the previous screen.
Examples of this message type are "Memory System
Unavailable - Not in Park" and "Automatic High Beams
On".
The Reconfigurable Telltales section is divided into the
white telltales area on the right, amber telltales in the
middle, and red telltales on the left.
When the appropriate conditions exist, the EVIC dis-
plays the following messages:
Turn Signal On (with a continuous warning chime if the
vehicle is driven more than 1.6 km with either turn
signal on)

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR (GSI) — (for
versions/markets, where provided)
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system is enabled on
vehicles with a manual transmission, or when a vehicle
with an automatic transmission is in manual shift mode.
The GSI provides the driver with a visual indication
within the EVIC when the recommended gear shift
point has been reached. This indication notifies the
driver that changing gear will allow a reduction in fuel
consumption.
When the shift up indicator (+) is shown on the display,
the GSI is advising the driver to engage a higher gear.
(fig. 10) (fig. 11)
When the shift down indicator (-) is shown on the
display, the GSI is advising the driver to engage a lower
gear.
(fig. 12) (fig. 13)
The GSI indicator in the EVIC remains illuminated until
the driver changes gear, or the driving conditions re-
turn to a situation where changing gear is not required
to improve fuel consumption.

OIL CHANGE DUE
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. The “Oil Change Due” message will
be in the EVIC display for approximately 10 seconds
after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change

engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent
upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
To turn off the message temporarily, press and release
the BACK button. To reset the oil change indicator
system please refer to a Fiat Dealership.
