Anti-crush safety device
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car’s anti-crush function is active as the windows are being raised.
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.
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
button on the
remote control is pressed for longer than 2 seconds the windows will
open, whilst if the
button is pressed for longer than 2 seconds
the windows will close.
The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC standard concerning
the safety of passengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment.
Incorrect use of the electric windows may be
dangerous. Before and during operation, always check
that no passenger is at risk of being injured directly
by the moving window or by objects getting caught in or
dragged by the window. 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.
Electric window system initialisation
The system must be re-initialised after disconnecting the battery or if
the relevant protection fuse is blown.
Initialisation procedure:
❒fully close the window to initialise with manual operation;
❒after the window has reached the upper end of travel, hold down
the closing control for at least 1 second.
For versions/markets where provided, after a break in power supply
for the control units (battery replaced or disconnected or protective
fuses for the electric window control units replaced), the automatic
operation of the windows must be restored.
The restoration procedure must be performed as described below with
the doors closed:
❒completely open the driver's door window, holding the operating
button down for at least three seconds after the (lower) end of travel
position;
❒completely raise the driver side window and hold the button down
for at least 3 seconds once the (upper) end of travel position has
been reached;

❒proceed in the same way as described in points 1 and 2 for the
passenger side door;

windows work automatically.
IMPORTANT With the central locking on, pulling the internal opening
lever for one of the doors switches the locking off for all the doors.
In the absence of electrical power supply (blown fuse, battery
disconnected, etc.) it is still possible to lock the doors manually. In this
case, the automatic lowering function of the windows is not available.
Press the window towards the inside of the car (see fig. 60) to open
or close the door with the window raised to ease the passage of the
window into the moulding.LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT
The luggage compartment is unlocked electrically and cannot be
unlocked when the car is in motion.
OPENING
When unlocked, the boot can be opened from outside the car by
pressing the electric logo fig. 61 until a click is heard which indicates
unlocking or by pressing the
button on the remote control.
The direction indicators will flash twice and an internal light will switch
on when the luggage compartment is opened: the light switches off
automatically when the luggage compartment is closed. The light
switches off automatically after a few minutes if the luggage
compartment is left open.
