VOLUMETRIC PROTECTIONTo guarantee correct operation all the win-
dows and the sunroof, if any, should be
closed.
This function can be excluded (for exam-
ple when leaving animals on-board the car)
by performing the following operations in
quick succession: when the key is at MAR,
move the key to the STOPposition and
then return the key to MARand then once
again to the STOPposition. Remove the
ignition key.
The led in the car will come on for about
2 seconds to confirm that the function has
been excluded.To restore volumetric protection move the
ignition key to the MARposition and hold
it in this position for more than 30 seconds.
If requiring to activate an electric control
operated by the ignition key at MAR(e.g.
electric windows) with the volumetric pro-
tection deactivated, turn the ignition key
to MAR, operate the control and return the
key to STOPwithin a maximum time of
30 seconds. This way volumetric protection
is not restored.
CUTTING OUT OPERATION
OF THE SIREN (for versions/markets where
applicable)
When requiring to dispense with the siren
acoustic signalling in the alarm condition,
simply keep the remote control button (B-
fig. 10) pressed for 4 seconds when en-
gaging the system.
This condition is shown by a series of 5
beeps in quick succession after the normal
acoustic/visual signals when the system is
operated.
The next time the system is activated, nor-
mal operation of the siren is restored auto-
matically.fig. 10

Courtesy light (fig. 146)
(where required)
Lowering the passenger’s sun visor, the
courtesy light on the roof lining can be seen.
This light makes it possible to use the cour-
tesy mirror under conditions with dim light.
On Sportwagon versions there is also a
courtesy light under the driver’s sun visor.
Use switch (A) to turn it on and off, with
the ignition key at MAR.Rear roof light (fig. 147)
(except versions with sunroof)
In correspondence with each rear door
there is a light which turns on automatically
when a door is opened.
They are timed and work in the same way
as described for the front roof light.
They can be turned on and off by hand
pressing the transparent cover (A) on the
circular impression.Centre rear roof lamp (fig. 148)
(only versions with sunroof)
On the roof lamp there is a switch with
three positions.
When the switch (A) is in the central po-
sition (0) the roof lamp turns on automat-
ically when a door is opened.
Lighting up is timed and it works as de-
scribed for the front roof lamp.
Moving the switch to the right (position 1)
the roof lamp stays off all the time.
Moving the switch to the left (position 2)
the roof lamp stays on all the time.
WARNINGBefore leaving the car make
sure that the switch (A) is in the central po-
sition (0), so that the lamp goes out when
the doors are closed.

RADIO
TRANSMITTERS
AND CELLPHONESCellphones and other radio transmitters
(e.g. CB radios) cannot be used inside the
vehicle, unless you use a separate aerial
mounted outside the vehicle.
The transmission and reception efficiency
of this equipment may also be affected by
the shielding effect of the vehicle’s body.
SUNROOF(optional for versions/markets
where applicable)
The sunroof can only be operated when
the ignition key is in the MARposition.Do not open the sunroof
when snow or ice are on
the roof as this may dam-
age it.
The use of cellphones, CB
radios or similar inside the
passenger compartment (without
an outside aerial) produces electro-
magnetic RF fields; if these are am-
plified by the resonance inside the
passenger compartment, they may
not only result in a potential health
hazard, or poor functioning of the
electronic systems such as engine
control units, ABS/EBD control
units, etc., fitted to the vehicle, but
also put the safety of your vehicle
in jeopardy.
WARNING
Improper use of the sunroof
can be dangerous. Before
and while operating it, always
make sure that the passengers are
not exposed to the risk of harm
caused either directly by the sunroof
in motion or by personal items
drawn or knocked by it.
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle,
the ignition key should al-
ways be removed to avoid acci-
dents involving the sunroof which
could be inadvertently operated by
any passenger remaining in the ve-
hicle.

The sunroof is fitted with a curtain below,
which prevents sun radiation and is drawn
by hand using a catch.
The curtain is drawn by the roof when the
roof opens and is pushed completely inside
the roof panel when the roof is opened com-
pletely. With the closing movement the cur-
tain will come out partially so that the hand
catch is accessible (A-fig. 157).fig. 156

close it.
When the button is released, the sunroof
will stop in that position.
For versions/markets where applicable,

in an intermediate position called “Com-
fort”, which is advised for average speeds.
In this case, complete opening is obtained
pressing the rear end (1) of button (A)
