Re: A New Problem

It's freezing temperatures and batteries are low. If it doesn't do it on the second start up then don't worry about it. It's just saying "Hey Boss, didn't think much of the voltage then"

You see that button that says "Caps Lock?"

Re: A New Problem

You won't necesarily need a new battery, the cold just saps power quicker than warmer temperatures.

If you do need a new battery, they start at 39.99 from a fiat garage (that's for a 1.2) although I think that might be if you're a member of 'The Stilo Club'.

Re: A New Problem

If you do treat your Stilo to a new battery then whatever you do NEVER, NEVER install a cheap battery - always fit the best you can get.

Personally I wouldn't bother though. Most warning messages on the Stilo can be prefaced with the word "I think there might be a problem with....". As Deckchair has said if the message isn’t repeated then just ignore it

It also helps on many Stilos if you give the car a chance to check all systems before you engage the starter (perhaps you do anyway)

Re: A New Problem

I have had this problem several times. But it only happens when the windows are frozen over, once thawed, normal automatic operation is reaumed...

The next time this happens i will defrost just the area of glass where the sensor is, and see if it happens again...
