DEAD LOCK(where provided)
8)
This safety device inhibits the operation
of the interior door handles and the
door locking/unlocking button.
Activating the device
The device is activated on all doors by
pressing the
"FIAT" button on the
key with remote control or for vehicles
with Keyless Entry, by pressing the
unlock button on the exterior door
handle of the car.
Turning the device off
The device disengages automatically:
when the doors are unlocked
(pressing button
on the key with
remote control);
when the ignition device is set to
MAR;
when one of the front handles is
gripped on vehicles equipped with
Keyless Entry.
CHILD SAFETY DEVICE
9) 10)
This system prevents the rear doors
from being opened from the inside.
The fig. 14 device can only be engaged
with the doors open:
position: device engaged (door
locked);
position: device not engaged
(door may be opened from the inside).
The device remains engaged even if the
doors are electrically unlocked.
IMPORTANT The rear doors cannot be
opened from the inside when the child
safety device is engaged.
WARNING
8)Once the Dead Lock system is engaged,
it is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Before getting out of the
car, please therefore check that there is
no-one left inside.9)NEVER leave children unattended inside
the car, let alone leave the car with the
doors unlocked in a place that children can
access easily. Children may seriously, or
even fatally, injure themselves. Also ensure
that children do not inadvertently operate
the electric parking brake, the brake pedal
or the automatic transmission lever.
10)Always use this device when carrying
children. After engaging the child lock on
both rear doors, check for effective
engagement by trying to open a door with
the internal handle.
IMPORTANT
2)Make sure to take the key with you once
a door or the tailgate is locked, to prevent
locking the same key inside the vehicle. If
the key has been locked in, it can only be
recovered using the second provided key.
3)The operation of the recognition system
depends on various factors, such as, for
example, any electromagnetic wave
interference from external sources (e.g.
mobile phones), the charge of the battery in
the electronic key and the presence of
metal objects near the key or the car. In
these cases it is still possible to unlock the
doors by using the metal insert in the
electronic key (see description on the
following pages).

Automatic main beam headlights
(where provided)
In order not to disturb other road users,
the main beam headlights are
automatically turned off when
approaching oncoming vehicles or
when following a vehicle travelling in the
same direction.
This function can be set using the
display Menu (see the instructions in the
"Display" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter); to activate
it, turn the light switch ring to AUTO.
To activate the function, push the lever
towards the instrument panel (it will
hold this position): the
light
illuminates on the instrument panel. If
the main beam headlights are on, the
light also illuminates. If the car is
stopped with the setting just described,
when it is restarted the automatic main
beam headlight function will have to be
set again: return the lever to the central
position and push it towards the
instrument panel as before.
When the speed is over 40 km/h and
the function is active, returning the lever
to the stable central position
deactivates the function and switches
the main beam headlights off.When the speed is lower than 15 km/h
and the function is active, the system
automatically switches main beam
headlights off.
If the lever is pulled back to the central
stable position and then pushed
towards the instrument panel again and
left there, this is interpreted as a request
for permanent main beam headlights:
the light illuminates on the instrument
panel and the main beam headlights
remain on until the car's speed rises
back above 40 km/h. Above this speed,
the function is automatically reactivated
and the
light illuminates again on
the instrument panel.

Front window anti-pinch safety
device
(where provided)
This safety system can recognise the
presence of any obstacle during the
window closing movement. If this
occurs, the system stops the window's
movement and reverts it, depending on
its position. The window is therefore
lowered by about 5 cm from its initial
stop position. The window cannot be
operated in any way during this time.
Front electric window system
initialisation
If power supply is interrupted, the
electric window automatic operation
must be reinitialised.
The initialisation procedure described
below must be carried out with the
doors closed and for each door:
close the window by holding up the
button;
once the window has closed
completely, keep holding the button
down for at least a further 3 seconds;
open the window by holding down
the button;
once the window has opened
completely, keep holding the button
down for at least a further 3 seconds.
WARNING
21)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that nobody is
exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or hit by it. When
leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.
ELECTRIC SUNROOF

system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement: if this happens, the
system intervenes and the movement of
the roof is immediately reversed into
opening.
EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the control buttons fail to operate, the
sun roof can be moved manually,
proceeding as described below:
remove protective cap A fig. 40 on
the internal trim;
