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

Improper use of the electric windows can
be dangerous. Before and during opera-
tion, always check that no-one is exposed to the
risk of being injured either directly by the moving
window or through objects getting caught and be-
ing dragged by it. When leaving the vehicle, al-
ways remove the key from the ignition to avoid
the risk of injury to anyone remaining in the
car due to accidental operation of the electric
windows.

CONTENTS
Do not rest your head, arms or elbows on
the doors, windows or window bag de-
ployment area as you could be injured during the
inflation phase.
WARNING
Never lean you head, arms or elbows out
of the window.
WARNING
Do not cover the front seat backrest with
sheets or covers that are not compatible
with side bags.
WARNING
If, when turning the key to MAR, the warn-
ing light
¬does not turn on or if it stays
on when travelling (together with the message on
the multifunction display, where provided), there
could be a failure in the safety systems; if this is
the case, the airbags or pretensioners may not trig-
ger in the event of an accident or, in a minor num-
ber of cases, they could activate incorrectly. Con-
tact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the
system checked before driving off.
WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
Do not travel with objects in your lap,
in front of your chest, or between your lips
(pipes, pencils, etc.). In the event of a crash when
the airbag is deployed, you may be seriously in-
jured.
WARNING
Always drive keeping your hands on the
steering wheel rim so that, in the event of
airbag activation, it can inflate without obstruc-
tion. Do not drive with your body slouched for-
wards; keep the backrest upright and lean back
into it.

Detergents cause water pollution. The ve-
hicle should be washed only in areas
equipped for collecting and purifying the
liquids used in the washing process.
Windows
Use specific detergents to clean the windows.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or al-
tering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window gently with a cloth
in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heat-
ing device.
Engine compartment
Wash the engine compartment thoroughly at the end of
every winter. Be careful not to direct the jet of water on-
to electronic control units. Adequately protect the up-
per air vents to prevent damage to the windscreen wiper
motor. Have this operation performed at a specialised
workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position. After
the wash, make sure that the various protective devices
(e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed or
damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol)
or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of the
front headlights.
Never use flammable products, such as
petroleum ether or modified petrol, to
clean inside the car. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during cleaning
may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle:
these could explode. Aerosol cans must
not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 50°C.
When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the tem-
perature inside can greatly exceed this value.
