The red steering wheel light on a Fiat Punto typically indicates a problem with the power steering system. It may suggest that the power steering has failed or that there is an issue with the steering column. If this light appears, it's important to stop the vehicle safely and consult the owner's manual or a mechanic, as driving without functional power steering can be dangerous.
if you have a girly button for the steering make the steering lighter then the p/s is electric so you have no fluid to fill up
