Posts: 6 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | ![]() Hi Guys Is it only me or did they design the Seicento Speedo warning lights in a bad location or what, mines smack bang behind the steering wheel and I can not see any of the headlight or indicator warning lights. Is the steering column adjustable and I can't work out how to adjust it? Regards Keith

![]() | Re: hard to see speedo warning lights Depends on the sei you have. I disagree its a problem or a design fault. The MPI idiot lights are dotted around the speedo and are fairly easy to see. There are some SPI speedos that have the idiot lights displayed at the top of the dash in a long line and some SPI speedos that have them that are at the side. I cant see it being a problem however, no ones mentioned it before Can you adjust the seat at all. Further back etc. Perhaps try and change your driving posistion? As mentioned the coloum is not adjustable. Also welcome ![]() ![]()

Posts: 6 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: hard to see speedo warning lights Hi Guys Thanks for all the replies but unfortunately there is no fix to my solution as my driving position is good, I'm worried about leaving my indicators on for miles before I realise, was thinking about installing a little LED on the dash in a inconspicuous place to warn me I have left the blinkers on. Any one know how to get to the Speedo bulbs as one of mine are out and needs replacing. please help ![]() Regards

![]() | Re: hard to see speedo warning lights Right just been out to look at my dash and it would seem its not much of an issue IMO, its easy to see the important lights, as you say headlights and indicators and also key code light are hard to see as they are round very top but indicators should turn off on their own (as mentioned already) and the other don't really matter - i mean you can't leave your lights on by accident in a fiat. down left side got oil, temp and battery lights and on right injector, airbag and power steering lights. I have absolutely no trouble seeing them, how tall are you? (i'm just under 6 foot)

With the buckets lowered by about 2 inches, my oval steering wheel clears the indicators by an inch or so. With the original seats and steering wheel, had a little trouble with the top indicators like you.
