Mileage

A little unsure if this means anything or not or if i should be worried or not. Was driving along this morning and first of all the controls on my steering wheel seemed to stop working. I couldn't change the song on my Ipod from the steering wheel then i noticed on the screen my mileage was flashing. Its never done it before. Is this normal?

May need a software update or might be a problem with the electrical connections from the steering wheel, T knows best along with some other FIAT experts.

I had the same problem with the controls and it turned out i needed the clockspring changing. Although my horn also started playing fun and games as well.

Re: Mileage

My mileage does that everynow and then, I just turn the engine and electrics off and then on again, soon cures it.
