POWER WINDOWS
Power windows are fitted with anti-crush-
ing safety device to detect the presence of
an obstacle in the window closing stroke.
If an obstacle is detected, the safety sys-
tem will stop window closing and will re-
verse window stroke.
IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-
crushing function is activated 5 times in
only 1 minute, the system will automati-
cally enter the “recovery” mode (self-pro-
tection). This conditions is pointed out by
the fact that, in the closing phase, the win-
dow goes up in jerks.
So, it is necessary to carry out the sys-
tem restore procedure, acting 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. In the event of failure make refer-
ence to section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”.
IMPORTANT With the ignition key to
STOPor removed, the power windows
remain activated for about 2 minutes and
are deactivated immediately the moment
a door is opened.CONTROLS

The system conforms to the
forthcoming standard
2000/4/EC concerning the safety of
passengers leaning out of the pas-
senger compartment. At the same
time, the upper outer gasket is not
equipped with anti-crush protection
in order to guarantee protection
against unwanted access from outside

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
surfaces changes.
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.
ESP SYSTEM OPERATION
The ESP system is automatically activat-
ed when the car is started and cannot be
de-activated.FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of failure, the ESP system is
automatically disconnected and the warn-
ing light
áwill turn on glowing steadily on
the instrument panel, together with the
message on the display (see section
“Warning lights and messages”). In this
case, go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
Performance of the ESP sys-
tem, in terms of active safe-
ty should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case al-
ways be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility an traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s re-
sponsibility.
WARNING
ESP SYSTEM INITIALISATION
(after disconnecting the battery)
After reconnecting the battery, to restore
regular operation of the ESP system, pro-
ceed as follows:
❒turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn both
clockwise and counterclockwise (to
pass through position “straight
wheels”);
❒turn the ignition key to STOPand then
back to MAR.
A few seconds later the warning light will
turn off; if it stays on contact Fiat Dealer-
ship.
These operations can also be performed
with the engine on.
During the use of the space-
saver spare wheel, the ESP
system carries on working. However,
you must remind that the space-saver
spare wheel has dimensions smaller
than the standard tyre and therefore
its grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.
WARNING
For correct operation of the
ESP system, the tyres must
absolutely be of the same brand and
type on all wheels, in perfect condi-
tions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.

the attached Supplement.
ACTUAL versions are provided with pre-
setting for sound system with aerial, wiring
and speakers.
To install the sound system, loosen screw

provided with the sound system and the
power cables for the electric connection. If turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light
Udoes not turn on or if, while
travelling it turns on glowing
steadily or flashing (together with the
message on the display), contact Fiat

and mechanical properties (e.g. water
tightness and door soundproofing) at Lin-

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
The car is provided with the electrically
controlled power steering system called
“Dualdrive” working only with ignition key
at MARand engine running, that can be
customised by the driver according to the
driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning quickly the
ignition key, power steering full operation
is obtained after 1-2 seconds.ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To connect/disconnect the CITY function,
push the button A-fig. 125located on the
central tunnel on the side of the gearbox
control lever.
Connection of this function is reported by
the word CITY on the “Multifunction dis-
play”.
When the CITY function is on the steer-
ing wheel effort is lighter and thus parking
operations are easier: therefore this func-
tion is particularly useful for driving in city
centres.FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure is indicated by warning light
gcoming on (together with the message on
the display) (see section “Warning lights
and messages”).
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.
IMPORTANT Under certain circum-
stances, factors independent from the
electric power steering could cause the il-
lumination of the warning light
gon the
instrument panel. We suggest to stop im-
mediately the car, turn off the engine for
about 20 seconds and then re-start the
car. If the warning light
gstays on (to-
gether with the message on the display),
contact Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT The steering may become
slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres
including a great deal of steering. This is
normal and caused by a system to prevent
motor overheating. No servicing is re-
quired. The electrical power steering sys-
tem will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.
