WINDOWS (where provided)
Buttons fig. 70have been provided on the
driver’s door panel to control the follow-
ing functions with the ignition turned to
MAR:
A:opening/closing of left-hand window;
B:opening/closing of right-hand window.
Press buttons Aor Bto open/close the

When one of these buttons is pressed
shortly, the window “jogs”; when pressed
for long, continuous automatic window
lifting or lowering is engaged. The window
stops in the required position when but-
ton Aor Bis pressed again.
The power windows are fitted with a safe-
ty system (where provided) that detects
the presence of an obstacle during win-
dow closing and cuts in by stopping and
reversing the window stroke.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush function is
enabled for 5 times within 1 minute, the
system automatically switches to “recov-
ery” mode (self-protection). This condi-
tion is highlighted by upward jogging of the
window while closing.In this case, it is necessary to carry out the
system restore procedure as follows:
❒open the windows;
or
❒turn the ignition key to STOPand then
to MAR.
If no malfunction is present, the window
returns to its normal operation automat-
ically.
IMPORTANT With ignition key in STOP
position or removed, the power windows
remain activated for about 2 minutes and
are deactivated immediately as soon as a
door is opened.

Incorrect use of the power
windows may be dangerous.
Before operation, always check that
no passenger is exposed to the risk of
being injured directly by the moving
window or by objects getting caught
in or dragged by the window.
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, al-
ways remove the ignition key
to avoid the risk of injury due to ac-
cidental operation of the power win-
dows.

EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>and xon the instru-
ment panel (together with the dedicated
message on the display in some versions)
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-
ly lock and the vehicle may swerve. Dri-
ve carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.BRAKE ASSIST
(emergency braking assistance
integral with ESP)
(where provided)
The system, which cannot be cut out, rec-
ognizes emergency braking (on the ground
of the brake pedal operation speed) and
considerably increases the pressure in the
brake circuit thus supporting the driver to
obtain prompt and effective braking.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the versions
equipped with ESP, in the event of ESP sys-
tem failure (indicated by warning light
áswitching on together with the message
on the multifunction display, where pro-
vided).
ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(where provided)
The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the car stability in the event of
tyre grip loss.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road sur-
faces changes.
In addition to the ESP system, ASR system
and Hill Holder, (where provided) also the
MSR system (adjusting the engine braking
torque) and the HBA system (improving
the braking force during emergency brak-
ing) are provided.
ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-
ing light
áon the instrument panel, to in-
form the driver that the car is in critical
stability and grip conditions.
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road con-
ditions.

PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 95and their function is to in-
form the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle comes
closer to the bumper, the buzzer becomes
more frequent.BUZZER WARNING
When reverse gear is engaged, an inter-
mittent buzzer automatically turns on (a
short beep to indicate the activation of the
system).
The beep:
❒becomes louder as the vehicle goes
closer to the obstacle;
❒becomes continuous when the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is
inferior to 30 cm and stops immediately
if the distance increases;
❒is constant if the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle does not
change.Detection distances
Central operating range 120 cm
Side operating range 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the parking sensors is indi-
cated when engaging reverse gear by a
beep lasting 3 seconds.
fig. 95F0T0211m
The sensors must be clean
from mud, dirt, snow or ice in
order to work correctly. Be
careful not to scratch or dam-
age the sensors while cleaning them.
Avoid using dry, rough or hard cloths.
Wash the sensors with clean water with
the addition of car shampoo, if neces-
sary. In washing stations, clean sensors
quickly keeping the vapour jet/high
pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at
least from the sensors.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is provided with front airbags
for the driver and the passenger.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front airbags on both the driver’s and
passenger’s side (where provided) have
been designed to protect the occupants in
the event of head-on crashes of medium-
high severity, by placing the bag between
the occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Non-deployment of the airbags in other
types of collisions (side collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not necessa-
rily indicate a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag
to inflate in the event of a front crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing
itself between the front occupant’s body
and the structures which could cause
injury. It will deflate immediately af-
terwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags (whe-
re provided) are not a replacement of, but
complementary to, the seat belts, which
you are recommended to always wear as
specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.In the event of a collision, a person not
wearing the seat belt may be thrown
forward and come into contact with the
bag before it has fully opened. The pro-
tection offered by the bag is reduced in su-
ch a case.
Front airbags may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in front collisions against highly defor-
mable objects which do not affect the
front surface of the vehicle (e.g. bum-
per collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒vehicle penetration under other vehi-
cles or protective barriers (e.g. trucks
or guard rails);
they could not provide any additional pro-
tection compared with seat belts, so their
deployment would be improper. In these
cases non-deployment of the airbag does
not necessarily indicate a system malfunc-
tion.Do not apply stickers or
other objects on the steering
wheel, on the dashboard (in passen-
ger side airbag area) and on the seats.
Do not place objects (e.g. cell pho-
nes) on the passenger’s side dash-
board because these could interfere
with correct deployment of the pas-
senger’s airbag and cause severe
injury to vehicle occupants.
WARNING
The front airbags on the driver’s and pas-
senger’s sides are designed and calibrated
to protect the front seat passengers who
wear safety belts.
The volume of the front airbags at max.
inflation fills most of the space between
the steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the passen-
ger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event
of front collisions of low severity (for whi-
ch the withholding action of the seat belts
is sufficient). Safety belts must always be
worn. In the event of a front crash they
ensure the correct positioning of the oc-
cupant.
