FAILURE INDICATIONS fig. 94
Any failure is indicated by instrument pan-
el warning light
gcoming on together
with the message on the reconfigurable
multifunction display (where provided),
see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, fac-
tors independent from the electric pow-
er steering could cause the illumination of
the warning light
gon the instrument
panel. ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
CITY FUNCTION fig. 92 and 93
To connect/disconnect the CITY function,
press button A.
Connection of this function is signalled by
CITYwarning light coming on.
When the CITYfunction is on, the steer-
ing wheel effort is lighter and thus parking
operations are easier: therefore this func-
tion is particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
fig. 92F0G0145mfig. 93F0G0162mfig. 94F0G0163m
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out whatever after-
market operation involving steering
system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect per-
formance and safety, cause the lapse
of warranty and also result in non-
compliance of the car with homolo-
gation requirements.
