KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means
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 remains on, the power steering may have no effect and the effort required to
operate the steering wheel may increase significantly even though it is possible to steer the car.
Contact a Dealership in this case.
If the warning light comes on while driving 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 Dealership as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT 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
Dealership.
IMPORTANT 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.
