STEERING
Steering wheel play “c”:
0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)
Check the play of the steering wheel by
gently turning it from left to right and mea-
suring the distance that it moves before
you feel slight resistance. The play should
be between the specified values.
Check that the steering wheel turns eas-
ily and smoothly without rattling by turn-
ing it all the way to the right and to the left
while driving very slowly in an open area.
If the amount of free play is outside the
specification or you find anything else to
be wrong, an inspection must be per-
formed by your Fiat Dealership.
PARKING BRAKE
Ratchet tooth specification “b”:
6th – 8th
Lever pull force (1):
200 N (20 kg, 44 lbs)
Check the parking brake for proper ad-
justment by counting the number of clicks
made by the ratchet teeth as you slowly
pull up on the parking brake lever to the
point of full engagement. The parking
brake lever should stop between the spec-
ified ratchet teeth and the rear wheels
should be securely locked. If the parking
brake is not properly adjusted or the
brakes drag after the lever has been fully
released, have the parking brake inspect-
ed and/ or adjusted by your Fiat Dealer-
ship.
