POWER WINDOWS
For the 2-button version (only front power windows)
no type of automatism (either opening or closing) is
provided. For the 4-button version (front and rear
power windows), the driver side is provided with both
opening and closing automatism, whereas the
passenger side is only provided with opening
automatism (where provided also closing automatism).
Rear windows are only provided with opening
automatism.
IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-crushing
function is activated 5 times in only 1 minute, the
system will automatically enter the “recovery” mode
(self-protection). This conditions is pointed out by the
fact that, in the closing phase, the window goes up in
jerks.
WARNINGThe system conforms to Standard 2000/4/EC concerning the safety of
passengers leaning out of the windows. The system guarantees protection only
against obstacles set between the inside and the outside of the car but not
vice versa. So, it is necessary to carry out the system restore
procedure, acting as follows:
❒perform opening control;
or
❒turn the key to STOP and then to MAR.
The logic is restored if no malfunction is present, the
window returns to its normal operation automatically;
otherwise contact a Fiat Dealership.
