The current socked is located on the central tunnel
and is powered with ignition key on MAR.
To use the socket, open the protection lid A.
Correct operation is ensured only if the connected ac-
cessories are provided with approved standard plugs, pre-
sent on all Lineaccessori Fiat components.
IMPORTANT With the engine off and ignition key in MAR,
the extended use (for instance for over one hour) of ac-
cessories which drain much current may reduce battery
efficiency and therefore cause misfiring.

moving roof either by personal objects getting
caught in the mechanism or by being injured by
it directly.
WARNING

HEADLIGHTSHEADLIGHT BEAM AIMING
The correct aiming of the headlights is important for the
comfort and safety of not only the driver but all other road
users. This is also covered by a specific rule of the high-
way code. The headlights must be correctly aimed to get
the best visibility conditions for all drivers while travel-
ling with headlights on. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights properly adjusted. Check headlight beam
aiming every time the load or its distribution change.
SLANT COMPENSATION fig. 83
The car is fitted with electric adjustment of the beams, op-
erating with ignition key at MAR and dipped headlights on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This means
the headlight beam rises.
In this case, repeat beams aiming by buttons + and −.The display provides a visual indication of the positions
during adjustment.
Correct positions depending on the load
Position 0 – one or two passengers on front seats.
Position 1 – four passengers.
Position 2 – four passengers + load in the boot.
Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load in the boot.

The system also has a diagnosis connector that can be in-
terfaced to suitable instruments, to read the error codes
stored in the control unit together with a series of specific
parameters for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by traffic control
authorities.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to check the sys-
tem completely, Fiat Dealerships run a bench test and, if
necessary, road tests which may also call for a long journey.
EOBD SYSTEM (petrol versions)The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis)
achieves a continuous diagnosis of the components of the
car correlated with emissions. It also alerts the driver, by
turning on the warning light
U
fig. 89 on the instrument
panel – together with relevant message in the reconfig-
urable multifunction display (for versions/markets, where
provided) – when these components are no longer in peak
condition (see “Warning lights and messages” chapter).
The goal of the system is to:
❒
keep the system efficiency under control;
❒
warn when a failure causes emissions levels to increase;
❒
warn of the need to replace deteriorated components.
If, when the ignition key is turned to the
MAR position, the
U
warning light either
does not come on or, when driving, it
comes on constantly or flashing – along with a
message in the reconfigurable multifunction display
(for versions/markets where provided) – contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. The operation of
the
U
warning light may be checked by the traffic
control authorities using specific devices. Always
comply with the traffic regulations in force in the
country where you are driving.

When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel effort
is lighter and thus parking operations are easier: there-
fore this function is particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
FAILURE INDICATIONS fig. 92
Possible power steering system failures are indicated by
the
g
warning light on the instrument panel – together
with the dedicated message in the reconfigurable multi-
function display (for versions/markets, where provided)
– coming on (see “Warning lights and messages” chapter).
In the event of electric power steering system failure,
the car can be driven with mechanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors independent
of the electric power steering could cause the warning light
g
on the instrument panel to come on.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM (for versions/markets, where provided)
Some versions feature an electric power steering system
which only works with the key at MAR and the engine run-
ning; this system, system called “Dualdrive” can be cus-
tomised by the driver according to the driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning quickly the ignition key,
power steering full functionality can be achieved after
1-2 seconds.
ENGAGEMENT/RELEASE OF CITY
function fig. 90 and 91
Press button A to engage/release the function.
When the function is engaged, the warning light CITY on
the instrument panel comes on.

It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
whatever after-market operation involv-
ing steering system or steering column modifica-
tions (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance and safety, cause
the lapse of warranty and also result in non-com-
pliance of the car with type approval require-
ments.
WARNING
Before starting any servicing operation,
stop the engine and remove the key from
the ignition switch to operate the steering lock,
particularly when the wheels do not touch the
ground. If this is not possible (i.e. if the key must
be kept in the MAR position or the engine must
be kept running), remove the electric power steer-
ing system main fuse.
WARNING
In this case, stop the car immediately, switch off the en-
gine for about 20 seconds and then restart the engine.
If the warning light
g
is still on, along with the message
on the reconfigurable multifunction display (for versions/
markets, where provided), contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The steering may become stiffer following
parking manoeuvres including a great deal of steering.
This is normal and caused by the system preventing the
electric control motor overheating. No repairs are need-
ed. The power steering system will start working properly
again the next time the car is used.
