I assume you mean the ‘City’ button found in Fiat Group cars. This increases the power assistance for the steering at low speeds, lessening the effort requires to turn the steering wheel. It makes parking in town (and city!) particularly easy.

By pushing the CITY button, usually found on the steering wheel, the power assistance is increased for steering at low speeds. This makes the steering lighter, lessening the effort required to turn the steering wheel. CITY mode is found on the Fiat 500, Fiat Panda, Fiat Punto and Fiat Tipo models.

City driving means a lot of waiting at traffic lights with the engine left running. Your car is often operating with reduced airflow through the radiator, which strains your engine’s cooling system.

Traffic density and city hazards make driving in a city more difficult.

Well, cities tend to be more congested. That means more cars on the road with you and maybe slower traffic than you see in a small town. Slower is probably helpful. More cars can be intimidating, but if you stay calm you can just ignore the crowding.

If you are being tailgated, it is best to allow more room to open up in front of your vehicle. This will help you avoid the need for sudden stops, which could result in the tailgater rear-ending you, and will make it easier for the tailgater to pass.

Most automobile safety experts agree that hydroplaning is most likely to occur at speeds greater than thirty-five miles per hour.

Whilst aquaplaning can happen at speeds as low as 30mph, it is at its most critical at speeds of around 54mph + according to NASA research. Standing water can be as little as just 1/10 inch deep to be sufficient to cause aquaplaning.

How Do You Recover From Hydroplaning?

1. Do not make any sudden turns and do not touch the brakes.
2. Ease off the gas. The vehicle will slow down on its own and regain traction.
3. Ease on the brake to further slow the vehicle.
4. Gently turn the steering wheel in the direction you want to go.

How do I Avoid Hydroplaning?

1. Keep your tires properly inflated.
2. Rotate and replace tires when necessary.
3. Slow down when roads are wet: the faster you drive, the harder it is for your tires to scatter the water.
4. Stay away from puddles and standing water.
5. Avoid driving in outer lanes where water tends to accumulate.

The key to safe driving in snow is being smooth with the steering wheel, accelerator, and brakes. Jerky movements with the controls easily unstick tires that have a tenuous grip on the slippery road, so every turn of the wheel, push of the brakes, and movement of the throttle must be deliberate, gentle, and gradual.
