Adjusting the mirrors is possible with the
ignition device at MAR and for about
3 minutes after the ignition device
switches to STOP (or also after the
mechanical key has been extracted, for
cars equipped with mechanical key with
remote control). When one of the front
doors is opened this operation is
disabled.Select the desired mirror using device A
fig. 29:
device in position 1: left mirror
selected;
device in position 2: right mirror
selected.
To adjust the selected mirror, press
button B fig. 29 in the four directions
shown by the arrows.
IMPORTANT To prevent accidental
movement once adjustment is
complete, rotate device A fig. 29 to
position 0.
Electric mirror folding
(where provided)
To fold the mirrors, press button Cfig. 29. Press the button again to restore
the mirrors to the driving position. If
button C is pressed during door mirror
folding (from closed to open position and
vice versa), their movement direction is
reversed.
You can fold or open the mirrors with the
ignition device at MAR and for about
3 minutes after switching the ignition
device to STOP (or also after extracting
the mechanical key, for cars equipped
with a mechanical key with remote
control). When one of the front doors is
opened this operation is disabled.
IMPORTANT While driving mirrors
must always be open and should never
be folded.
Mirrors realignment operation
In case one of the door mirrors has been
moved manually it may occur that the
mirror itself does not retain its position in
a stable way while driving.
In that case it is necessary to carry out
the following realignment operation:
manually close the mirror to the
parking position by folding it from
position 1 to position 2 fig. 30;
operate the mirror opening control C
fig. 29 once or twice to realign the
system and bring both mirrors to the
driving position.

Move the stalk upwards (unstable
position) to activate the MIST
function: operation is limited to the
time for which the stalk is held in this
position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the
windscreen wiper will be automatically
stopped.
IMPORTANT This function does not
activate the windscreen washer;
windscreen washer fluid will not
therefore be sprayed onto the
windscreen. To spray windscreen washer
fluid onto the windscreen, the washing
function must be used. With the ring A in
position
, the windscreen wiper is not
activated. In position, the pause time
between the strokes of the windscreenwiper is 10 seconds, independently of
the vehicle speed. In position
, the
pause time between two strokes is set
according to the vehicle speed: when the
speed increases, the time between two
strokes decreases. In positionLOorHI,
the windscreen wiper moves
continuously, i.e. without a pause
between two strokes.
“Smart washing” function
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
(unstable position) to operate the
windscreen washer.
When the stalk is held pulled for longer
than half a second, the windscreen wiper
moves with active control. Releasing the
stalk will activate three strokes.
With the ring A in theLOorHIposition,
the smart washing function is not
performed.
The windscreen wiper stops working
three strokes after the stalk is released.
IMPORTANT If the stalk is activated for
less than half a second, only the
windscreen washer jet is activated. Do
not prolong the activation of the "Smart
Washing" function for more than
30 seconds. Do not activate the
windscreen washer control when the
reservoir is empty.RAIN SENSOR

When one of the front doors is opened
this operation is disabled.
Driver side front door controls
The buttons are located on the trims of
the left side door panels (left hand drive
versions) or of the right side door panels
(right hand drive versions). All windows
can be controlled from the driver side

The window closing stage occurs
following the same logic described for
the opening stage, for the front door
windows only.
The rear door windows can only be closed
"in stages".
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 by a few centimetres,
depending on its position.
The anti-crush safety function isactivated both during the manual and the
automatic operation of the window.
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:
fully close the window to be
initialised, with manual operation;
after the window has reached the
upper end of travel, hold the up button
down for at least 3 seconds.
WARNING
22)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during their
operation, ensure that any passengers are
not at risk from the moving glass either by
personal objects getting caught in the
mechanism or by being hit by it directly.
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.

to those still inside the vehicle due to
accidental operation of the sun roof.
Improper use of the roof can be
dangerous. Before and during operation,
always check that no-one is exposed to the
risk of being injured by the moving
sunroof or by objects getting caught or hit
by it.
IMPORTANT
11)Do not open the sun roof if a
transverse roof rack is fitted. Do not open
the sun roof if there is snow or ice on it:
you may damage it.
