ANTI-PINCH SAFETY SYSTEM
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system capable of de-
tecting the presence of an obstacle whilst the roof is clos-
ing; when this happens, the system stops and the move-
ment of the glass is immediately reversed.
INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
The sunroof must be re-initialised after disconnecting the
battery or if the relevant protection fuse is blown.
Proceed as follows:
❒press button A-fig. 83 at close position;
❒hold the button down so that the sunroof closes in
stages;
❒after full closing, wait for sunroof’s electric motor
to stop.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the
ignition to avoid the risk of injury to those still inside the
car due to accidental operation of the sunroof. Improper
use of the roof can be dangerous. Before and during op-
eration, always check that no-one is exposed to the risk
of being injured by the moving sunroof or by objects get-
ting caught and dragged by it.

Versions with 4 electric windows (front and rear) are fit-
ted with an anti-crushing safety device to detect the pres-
ence of an obstacle when the window is being closed. If an
obstacle is detected, the safety system will stop the clos-
ing process and, according to window position, reverse
the movement of the glass.ELECTRIC WINDOW

BRAKE ASSIST
(integrated ESP emergency braking assistance)
(for versions/markets where available)
This system (which cannot be switched off) recognises
emergency braking (according to the speed of operation
of the brake pedal) and provides additional hydraulic brak-
ing pressure to support that applied by the driver. This
allows faster and more powerful operation of the brak-
ing system.
The Brake Assist is deactivated on versions equipped with
ESP if there is an ESP system failure (indicated by the warn-
ing light and the message on the multifunction display, for
versions/markets where provided). Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the
system checked.

CONTENTSIf only warning light xlights up on the in-

multifunction display, where provided), stop the
car immediately and contact the nearest Fiat
Dealership. Fluid leaking from the hydraulic sys-
tem will compromise the operation of the brak-
ing system, whether it is of the conventional type
or with ABS.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in, and you feel the
brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your
foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you will stop
in the shortest distance possible under the road
conditions at the time.

When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel effort
is lighter, making parking easier: therefore, this function
is particularly useful for driving in city centres.
For the Sport version, this function guarantees improved
driving comfort because the accelerator pedal is better cal-
ibrated for gradual acceleration/deceleration.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the electric power steering system is indicat-
ed by instrument panel warning light
gcoming on together
with a message on the multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets where provided) (see “Warning lights and
messages”). In the event of electric power steering system
failure, the car can be driven with mechanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors independent
of the electric power steering could cause the
gwarning
light on the instrument panel to come on.
In this case, stop the car immediately, switch off the en-
gine for about 20 seconds and then restart the car. If the
warning light
gis still on, along with the message on the
multifunction display (for versions/markets where provid-
ed), contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres requiring a lot
of steering, the steering may become harder; this is nor-
mal and is due to the intervention of the system that pro-
tects the electric steering motor from overheating, so no
intervention is required. The power steering system will
start working properly again the next time the car is used.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE TPMS
SYSTEM
The fault indications are not stored and will therefore not
be displayed after the engine has been switched off and
then on again. If the fault conditions persist, the control
unit will send the relative indications to the instrument
panel only after the vehicle has been in motion for a short
time.
WARNING Particularly strong radio frequency interference
may cause the TPMS system to function incorrectly. This
condition is indicated to the driver by a message on the dis-
play. The warning message will go off automatically as soon
as the interference stops disturbing the system.

CONTENTS
The presence of TPMS does not exoner-
ate the driver from regularly checking the
pressure of the tyres and the spare wheel (see
“Wheels” in the “Maintenance and care” section).
WARNING
The TPMS is not able to warn you of sud-
den tyre pressure losses (for example when
a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the car, braking
with care and avoiding sharp steering actions.
WARNING
Replacing the normal tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa requires an inspection
of the TPMS, which should be carried out only
by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The TPMS requires the use of specific
equipment. Contact a Fiat Dealership to
find out which accessories are compatible with the
system (wheels, hub caps etc.). Using other ac-
cessories may hinder the normal operation of the
system.
WARNING
Changes in outside temperature may
cause tyre pressures to vary. The TPMS
system may temporarily indicate insufficient pres-
sure. In this case, check the tyre pressures with the
tyres cold and, if necessary, pump them up.

IMPORTANT
Before opening the bonnet, make sure
that the car is switched off and the key is
in the OFF position. Follow the instructions on the
plate near the front crossmember fig. 124a. It is
advisable to extract the key when there are oth-
er people in the car. The car should always be
evacuated after the key has been removed or
turned to the OFF position. During refuelling op-
erations, it is necessary to make sure that the car
is off with the ignition key in the OFF position.
WARNING
For cars with a robotised transmission, if
the engine cuts out automatically on a
gradient, it is advisable to restart the engine by
moving the gear lever towards (+) or (-) without
releasing the brake pedal. For vehicles with Dua-
logic transmission, where the Hill Holder function
is present, if the engine cuts out automatically
whilst on a hill, it is advisable to restart it by mov-
ing the gear lever towards (+) or towards (-) with-
out releasing the brake pedal to make the Hill
Holder function – which is active only when the
engine is running – available.
WARNING
If you want to prioritise climate comfort,
the Start&Stop system can be disabled to
allow continuous operation of the climate control
system.
