opening/closing stage.Window opening
Push the buttons to open the desired
window.
When one of the two buttons is
pressed briefly, the window moves in
"stages"; if the button is held down,
"continuous automatic" operation
is activated.
If the control button is pressed again,
the window will stop in the desired
position. If the button is held down for
several seconds, the window raises
or lowers automatically (only with
ignition key in MAR position).
Window closing
Lift the buttons to close the desired

The window closing stage occurs
following the same logics described for
the opening stage.
Front and rear
passenger doors
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On the passenger side front door
control panel, and on some versions
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.
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.

remain active for about 3 minutes and
are deactivated when a door is opened.
IMPORTANT With the anti-crush
system, when the
button on the
remote control is pressed for longer
than 2 seconds the windows will open,
whilst if the
button is pressed for

windows may be dangerous.
Before and during their operation,
ensure that any passengers are
not at risk from the moving glass
either by personal objects getting
caught in the mechanism or by
being hit by it directly. When
leaving the car, always remove
the key from the ignition to
prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a
hazard for those still on board.
