Front passenger-side and rear doors
(for versions/markets where provided)
The front passenger door armrest and rear door armrests
feature switches A-fig. 92 for controlling the correspond-
ing window.
Press button A-fig. 93 to disable the controls located on
the rear doors (for versions/markets where provided). IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-crushing function
is activated 5 times in only 1 minute, the system will au-
tomatically enter the “recovery” mode (self-protection).
This condition is apparent from the window closing in
stages.
On such occasions, it is necessary to carry out the system
restore procedure, acting as follows:
❒open the windows;
or
❒turn the ignition key to STOP and then to MAR.
If no malfunction is present, the window returns to its nor-
mal operation automatically.
IMPORTANT With the ignition key at STOP or removed,
the windows remain activated for about 2 minutes and are
deactivated as soon a door is opened.KNOWING

When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel effort
is lighter, making parking easier: therefore, this function
is particularly useful for driving in city centres.
For the Sport version, this function guarantees improved
driving comfort because the accelerator pedal is better cal-
ibrated for gradual acceleration/deceleration.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the electric power steering system is indicat-
ed by instrument panel warning light
gcoming on together
with a message on the multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets where provided) (see “Warning lights and
messages”). In the event of electric power steering system
failure, the car can be driven with mechanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors independent
of the electric power steering could cause the
gwarning
light on the instrument panel to come on.
In this case, stop the car immediately, switch off the en-
gine for about 20 seconds and then restart the car. If the
warning light
gis still on, along with the message on the
multifunction display (for versions/markets where provid-
ed), contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres requiring a lot
of steering, the steering may become harder; this is nor-
mal and is due to the intervention of the system that pro-
tects the electric steering motor from overheating, so no
intervention is required. The power steering system will
start working properly again the next time the car is used.

CAR INACTIVITY
(with Start&Stop system without dummy pole)
(for versions/markets where provided)
In case of car inactivity, special attention must be paid due
to the disconnection of the battery power supply. Proceed
as follows: detach the connector A-fig. 123 (by pressing
button B) from sensor C for monitoring the battery sta-
tus installed on the battery negative pole D. This sensor
should never be disconnected from the pole except if the
battery is replaced. OPERATING IRREGULARITIES
In the case of malfunctions the Start&Stop system is dis-
abled. The driver is informed of the problem by the gen-
eral failure warning light A-fig. 121, where provided, com-
ing on with an information message and the system fail-
ure symbol B-fig. 121 on the control panel. In this case,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
CAR INACTIVITY fig. 122
(with Start&Stop system with dummy pole)
(for versions/markets where provided)
In case of vehicle inactivity conditions, pay special atten-
tion to the disconnection of the battery power supply. The
procedure must be made by disconnecting the quick re-
lease negative terminal A-fig. 122 from the dummy nega-
tive pole B, as the battery negative pole C has a sensor D
for battery condition monitoring that must never be dis-
connected (unless the battery is replaced).KNOWING

HANDBRAKE fig. 147
The handbrake lever is located to the left side of the dri-
ver’s seat. Pull the lever upwards to operate the handbrake.
Four or five notches are normally sufficient to secure the
car on flat terrain, while nine or ten may be necessary on
a steep slope with the car loaded.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, contact a Fiat Deal-
ership to have the handbrake adjusted.
When the handbrake is on and the ignition key is at
MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
xwill come on.
To release the handbrake, proceed as follows:
❒pull up slightly on the lever and press release button A;
❒hold button Adown and lower the lever. The x
warning light on the instrument panel will go out.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this operation
to prevent the car from moving accidentally.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (first gear if the vehicle is parked uphill
or reverse if it is facing downhill) and leave the wheels
turned.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is further advis-
able to block the wheels with a wedge or stone. Do not
leave the key in the ignition as this drains the battery.
Always remove the key when you leave the car.
Never leave children unattended in the
car. Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the car and take it with you.
