FAILURE OF THE MODE
SELECTOR SYSTEM
The activation of the function is
signalled by the word CITY on the
display (in some versions it is signalled
by the word CITY appearing on the
instrument panel).
WARNING
WARNING In the event of system
failure or a fault with knob, no driving
modes can be selected. The display
will show a dedicated message.
125) It is absolutely forbidden to carry
out any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of
anti-theft device) that could badly affect
performance and safety, invalidate
warranty and also result in non-compliance
of the car with type approval requirements.
126) 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 (for example if the key needs
to be turned to MAR or the engine must
be running), remove the main fuse that
protects the electric power steering.
When the CITY function is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function
is particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
WARNING In this case it is not
advisable trying to drive down roads
with a steep gradient, the system
cannot help the driver in any way.

This only operates with the key turned
to MAR and the engine started. The
steering allows the force required at the
steering wheel to be adjusted to suit
driving conditions.

WARNING During parking manoeuvres
requiring a lot of steering, the steering
may become harder; this is normal and
is due to the intervention of the system
to protect the electric steering motor
from overheating so no intervention is
required. When the car is used again
later on, the power steering will work
normally.
WARNING When turning the ignition
key quickly, full power steering
functionality can be achieved after a
few seconds.
