also on the rear doors, buttons F fig. 62
are provided to control the associated
windows.
Anti-crush safety device
The car is equipped with an anti-crush
function for the raising of the front
and rear windows.
This safety system detects the
presence of an obstacle during the
window closing travel and intervenes by
stopping and reversing the window
travel, depending on its position. This
device is also useful if the windows are
activated accidentally by children on
board the car.62
A0K0581
57

The anti-crush safety function is active
both during the manual and the
automatic operation of the window.
When the anti-crush system is
activated, the window travel is
immediately interrupted and then
reversed. The window cannot
be operated in any way during this
time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush protection
intervenes 5 consecutive times within
a minute or is faulty, the automatic
closing operation of the window
is inhibited, only allowing it in steps of
half a second with the button released
for the subsequent manoeuvre.
In order to restore the correct operation
of the system, the relevant window
must be lowered.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP
or removed, the electric windows
remain active for about 3 minutes and
are deactivated when a door is opened.
IMPORTANT With the anti-crush
system, when the

iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)(for versions/markets, where provided)
DESCRIPTION
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by the dedicated
warning light
continuously on and a
warning message on the display.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is anyway
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS system needs an initial
"self-learning" phase (with length
depending on the driving style and road
conditions) which starts when the
RESET procedure is carried out.
The Reset procedure must be carried
out:
❒whenever the tyre pressure is
modified;
❒when even only one tyre is changed;
❒when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET, inflate
the tyres to the rated pressure values
specified in the inflation pressure table
(see "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" section).
If the RESET is not carried out, in all
above cases, the warning light
may
give false indications on one or more
tyres.To carry out the RESET, with the car
stopped and the ignition key at
MAR-ON, press the button
fig. 86 on
the dashboard for 2 seconds; after
the RESET, the display shows the
message "RESET SAVED", indicating
that the "self-learning" has started.
