IMPORTANT After eliminating the in-
convenience, to check the system com-
pletely, Fiat Dealerships are obliged to run
a bench test and, if necessary, road tests
which may also call for a long journey.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
(where provided)
Certain versions feature a new electrical-
ly controlled power steering system called
“Dualdrive” working only with ignition key
at MARand engine running, that can be
customised by the driver according to the
driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning quickly the
ignition key, power steering full operation
is obtained after 1-2 seconds.
EOBD SYSTEM (petrol
versions)
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of
the components of the car correlated with
emissions. It also alerts the driver, by turn-
ing on the warning light
Ufig. 91on the
instrument panel together with relevant
message on the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display (where provided), when these
conditions are no longer in peak condi-
tions (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒warn when a fault causes emissions lev-
els to increase;
❒warn of the need to replace deterio-
rated components.
The system has a diagnostic connector
that can be interfaced with appropriate
tools, which makes it possible to read the
error codes stored in the control unit, to-
gether with a series of specific parameters
for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be performed by traf-
fic controller agents.

If turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light Udoes not turn on or if, while
travelling it turns on glowing
steadily or flashing (together with the
message on the reconfigurable multi-
function display (where provided), con-
tact Fiat Dealership as soon as possi-
ble. Warning light
Uoperation can be
checked by means of special equip-
ment by traffic agents. Always comply
with the traffic regulations in force in
the country where you are travelling.
