“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
SYSTEM (where provided)
The electric power steering only works when the ignition key is at MAR
and the engine is running. A new electrically controlled power steering
system called “Dualdrive” is fitted on the Fiat Punto that can be
customised by the driver according to the driving conditions.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION (CITY function)
To connect/disconnect the CITY function, push the button located on
the central tunnel .
Activation of this function is indicated by the word CITY on the
instrument panel (see figures beside).
When the CITY function is on the steering wheel effort is lighter and
thus parking operations are easier: therefore this function is particularly
useful for driving in city centres.
Additionally, in Sporting versions, this function ensures a more
comfortable drive by gradually dosing the accelerator pedal, suitably
calibrated for acceleration and deceleration.
