CENTRAL SUNROOF AND
WINDOW LOCKING SYSTEM
Central locking/opening of sunroof
and windows can be actuated at the
following conditions:
– ignition key removed
– all doors closed correctly.To actuate central locking by
means of the remote control, keep
buttonB(fig. 188) depressed for
more than 3 seconds after closing
the doors: the sunroof and window
winders will be actuated until they
are completely closed or the button
is released.
To actuate central locking by
means of the remote control, keep
buttonA(fig. 188) depressed for
more than 3 seconds after opening
the doors: the sunroof and windows
winders will be actuated until they
are completely open or the button is
released.
This function can be used before
getting into the car when it has been
parked in the sun, in order to aerate
the passenger compartment.Central locking can also be actuat-
ed by turning the key in the lock of
one of the front doors: keep the key
turned to 2(fig. 189) for more than
3 seconds. The sunroof and window
winders are actuated until they are
completely closed or the key is
released.
By keeping the key turned to 1
(fig. 189) for more than 3 seconds,
both the sunroof and all the win-
dows will open. The sunroof and
window winders are actuated until
they are completely open or the key
is released.

SOLAR CELLS
The upper part of the sunroof
incorporates 21 solar cells that pro-
duce a maximum power of 24 W to
feed the climate control system fan,
when the car is parked with the sun-
roof closed or in pivoting position.
Fan actuation is automatic and air
distribution corresponds to the latest
setting made before switching the
car off.
This function is useful especially on
summer days, since it greatly
reduces the temperature inside the
passenger compartment as well as
the duration of the cooling cycle
after car start-up, thus avoiding the
accumulation of warm air in the air-
conditioning unit lines.
In winter, the ventilation function
reduces dampness inside the passen-
ger compartment.EMERGENCY MANOEUVRE
In case the electric actuation device
fails to operate, the sunroof can be
actuated manually, proceeding as
follows:
1)Take the Allen screw wrench D
(fig. 191) out of the tool kit and use
it to actuate the sunroof in an emer-
gency.
2)Remove front ceiling light caps
AandB(fig. 190) by levering with
a screwdriver on the outer side (the
caps are press-fitted).
3)Take out screws C(fig. 191)
and remove the ceiling light by
releasing it from the front clamps.
IMPORTANTDo not disconnect
the ceiling light connectors.4)Insert the Allen screw wrench D
into the hexagonal seat of the sun-
roof starter motor, then turn it:
– clockwise to open the sunroof
– counterclockwise to close the
sunroof.
5)After completing the closing or
opening operation, put the ceiling
light back to its place by fitting in
the front clamps first and then fixing
the rear screws.
IMPORTANTWhen refitting the
ceiling light, check that the electric
cables are positioned correctly.
6)Press-fit the screw cover caps.

BOOT
The boot can be opened both from
the outside and the inside of the car.
IMPORTANTFaulty closing of the
boot is signalled by the lighting of
the relevant symbol on the multi-
function display, together with mes-
sage “BOOT OPEN”With the battery flat, or
after the interruption of
one of the protection
fuses, or if you want to disconnect
a loaded battery (e.g. for a car
stop period), before opening the
luggage compartment bonnet
carefully read and comply with
the instructions contained in the
paragraph “If battery is to be dis-
connected” in the chapter “In an
emergency”.
OPENING FROM THE INSIDE
Boot tailgate is opened electrically.
It can be opened only when the igni-
tion key is at MARand the car is
stopped, or for 3 minutes after turn-
ing the key to STOPwithout open-
ing or closing a door.
To open the boot, press button A
(fig. 192), placed on the central con-
sole, as follows:
– a short pressure of the button will
release the boot lock– a prolonged pressure of the but-
ton will release the lock and open
the boot.
Boot lifting is facilitated by the
action of gas dampers.
The dampers are cali-
brated so as to ensure
correct lifting of the boot
tailgate with the weights estab-
lished by the manufacturer.
Addition of extra equipment (e.g.
spoiler, etc.) can adversely affect
operation and safety of use.

OPENING FROM THE OUTSIDE
WITH THE KEY (fig. 193)
The boot lock is electrified: press
buttonAon the tailgate to open it.
In an emergency (battery run down
or electrical system failure), the tail-
gate can be opened by fully turning
counterclockwise the key in the lock
and exerting at the same time a
slight pressure on the lower edge of
the number plate holder to reduce
the opening effort.
IMPORTANTIf the boot was
opened using the key, at closing the
automatic function will be deacti-
vated. To restore the automatic
function press button A.OPENING BY MEANS OF THE
REMOTE CONTROL
The tailgate can be opened from
the outside by pressing button A
(fig. 194) on the remote control,
even when the electronic alarm is on.
When the electronic alarm is on,
boot opening is accompanied by
double flashing of direction indica-
tors; boot closing is accompanied by
one flashing.
IMPORTANTIf the boot is opened
with the key when the electronic
alarm is on, the latter will not be
deactivated.If the electronic alarm is on, both
the volumetric protection and the
boot control sensor will be switched
off, and the system will emit (except
for versions of certain markets) two
beeps.

CLOSING THE BOOT
To close the bonnet,
lower it down until you lay
it on the lock, without
however slamming it. The lock is
electric and the bonnet will close
automatically.BOOT CEILING LIGHT (fig. 195)
The boot is lit by ceiling light A,
which switches on automatically
when the tailgate is opened.
The light switches off automatical-
ly when the tailgate is closed.
If the tailgate is left open, the ceil-
ing light will switch off after about
20 minutes: to switch it on again,
close and then open again the tail-
gate.LUGGAGE NETS

After placing the load with the pro-
tection, secure it by means of the
belt to prevent it from shifting in
case of sudden braking or collision.
To secure the protection with the
load:
1) Get the protection belt to pass
around the armrest.
2) Hold the belt tight by pulling its
end, while holding buckle A(fig.
209).3) Secure the load by inserting the
attachment of belt A(fig. 210) into
the buckle of the central rear safety
belt.To release the protection with the
load:
1) Release the belt by pressing the
button on the safety belt buckle.
2) Loosen the tension of the belt by
making the latter slide into buckle A

If repairs need to be car-
ried out inside the engine
compartment when this is
still hot, be careful not to burn
yourself and keep away from the
electric fan as this may cut in at
any time, even if the key is
removed from the ignition switch.
Wait until the engine has cooled.
Scarves, ties and other
loose articles of clothing
could easily get caught up
in moving parts.To close the bonnet:
Lower the bonnet at approx. 20 cm
from the engine compartment and
then let it drop, ensuring that it is
fully closed and not just held in posi-
tion by the safety catch. If the bonnet
does not close properly do not push it
down but open it again and repeat the
above procedure.
For safety reasons the
bonnet shall always be
perfectly closed when trav-
elling. Always check for proper
bonnet locking. If the bonnet is left
inadvertently open, stop the car
immediately and close the bonnet.FUEL FILLER CAP
The fuel filler cap flap is controlled
automatically controlled by the cen-
tral door locking system.
When central door locking is on,
the fuel filler flap cannot be opened;
when central door locking is off, the
flap can be opened by simply press-
ing on the front part in point A(fig.
215).
Open the fuel filler flap by turning
it in the direction shown by the
arrow until it is completely opened.

ABS
GENERAL
If this is the first car with ABS you
drive, get familiar with it by some
preliminary “driving tests” on poor
grip roadbeds, obviously under safe-
ty conditions and in compliance with
the traffic regulations of the Country
you are driving in. Read carefully
the following instructions.
The ABS (wheel anti-locking) sys-
tem prevents wheel locking and con-
sequent slipping in all road surface
conditions. This ensures greater con-
trol, as it is possible to steering and
brake at the same time, and reduces
braking space.
If the road conditions decrease the
friction coefficient (i.e. due to the
presence of water, snow, ice, etc.) a
wheel may slip; in this case, the
wheel does not ensure correct decel-
eration or the possibility of main-
taining the running direction and
the ability to steer. Here, the ABSsystem comes into operation, elimi-
nating hydraulic pressure only from
the brake caliper of the locked wheel
and, as soon as the latter start spin-
ning again, brakes it again, thus
ensuring optimum braking and car
driveability.
EBD (ELECTRONIC BRAKE-
FORCE DISTRIBUTOR)
The car is equipped with an elec-
tronic brakeforce distributor (EBD)
which, by means of the ABS control
unit and sensors, makes it possible
to optimally distribute the braking
force between the front and rear
wheels, thus avoiding car skidding
in the most difficult situations.ABS OPERATION
The electronic control unit receives
and processes the signals from the
brake pedal and from the four sen-
sors on the wheels. It consequently
controls the hydraulic system so to
decrease, hold or increase the pres-
sure in the braking circuit of every
single wheel, and prevent locking.
The main components of the ABS
system are:
- an electronic-hydraulic control
unit, which processes the signals
from the various sensors and per-
forms the most appropriate opera-
tions by acting on the solenoid
valves
- four sensors which detect the
rotation speed of every single wheel
- a pump provided with pressure
switch, to restore brake fluid pres-
sure.
IMPORTANTA slight pulsation of
the brake pedal may be felt when
the ABS system comes into play.
