Warning light
What it means
Electric parking brake on
The warning light switches on when the parking brake is engaged.
On certain versions, if the car is moving the acoustic warning will also sound.
WARNING If the warning light turns on while driving, check that the parking brake is not engaged.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE
The warning light switches on when the ignition device is brought to the ENGINE position, but it
should switch off after a few seconds.
If the warning light stays on, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display, you
may not have power steering and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be notably
increased; steering is, however, possible. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
If the warning light switches on while driving (on some versions, together with a dedicated message
on the display) you may not have steering assistance. Although it will still be possible to steer
the vehicle, the effort needed to operate the steering wheel could be increased: contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING In some circumstances, factors independent of the electric power steering could cause
the warning light on the instrument panel to switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately (if you
are moving), stop the motor for about 20 seconds (taking the ignition device to the STOP position)
and then restart the motor ("READY" status). If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING The steering must be initialised after disconnecting the 12V battery. The warning light
turns on to indicate this. To carry out this procedure, slowly turn the steering wheel all the way from
one end to the other or drive in a straight line for about a hundred metres.
