Anti-crush safety device
(for versions/markets, where provided)
11)
This safety system detects the
presence of an obstacle during the
window closing travel and intervenes by
stopping and reversing the window
travel, depending on its position.
The anti-pinch function is active both
during manual and automatic operation
of the electric windows. Following the
intervention of the anti-pinch system,
the window travel is immediately
interrupted and subsequently reversed
until the lower end of travel is reached.
The window cannot be operated in
any way during this time.Electric window system
initialisation
If power supply is interrupted when the
window is moving, the electric window
automatic operation must be
reinitialised.
The initialisation procedure must be
carried out with the doors closed and
for each door, as described below:
fully close the window to be
initialised, with manual operation;
after the window has reached the
upper end of travel, hold the up button
pressed for at least one second.
WARNING
20)Improper use of the electric windows
can 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, always remove the
ignition key to avoid the risk of injury for
people still on board due to accidental
operation of the electric windows.

hold down button B: after
approximately 10 seconds the roof
moves jerkily to closing position. Once
the operation has ended (roof closed)
release button B;
turn the ignition key to STOP and
keep it there for 10 seconds;
turn the ignition key to the MAR
position;
Press button B in closed position;
hold down button B until the roof is
completely closed: the initialisation
procedure has ended;
press button B again within 3
seconds from the conclusion of the
initialisation procedure;
hold down button B: the roof will
perform an automatic opening and
closing cycle: should this not occur,
repeat the operation from the
beginning;
keeping button B held down, wait
until the roof is completely closed.
WARNING
21)When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition switch to
avoid the risk of injury to those still inside
the car 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.
WARNING
12)Do not open the sun roof if there is
snow or ice on it: you may damage it. In
vehicles with sun roof no roof rack can be
fitted.
CONTROLS
DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This only operates with the ignition
key turned to MAR and the engine
started. Electric power steering allows
the force required at the steering wheel
to be adapted to the driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition
key quickly, full power steering
functionality can be achieved after a
few seconds.
Activation / Deactivation (CITY
function)
Press the CITY button (A-fig. 27) to
activate the function. When this
function is active, the word CITY on the
instrument panel will light up.
26L0F0299C
27L0F0428C
29

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.
To deactivate the function press the
button again.
IMPORTANT During parking
manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering,
the steering may become harder: this is
normal and is due to the intervention
of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating, so no
repair is required. When the car is
used again later on, the power steering
will work normally.
ECO FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Press the ECO button fig. 28 for at least
5 seconds to activate the function.When the ECO function is activated,
the car is set for city driving,
characterised by less effort on the
steering wheel (Dualdrive system on)
and reduced fuel consumption.
When this function is activated, the
word ECO on the display will light up on
some versions.
This function stays in the memory, so
when the vehicle is started again,
the system keeps the setting it had
before the engine was stopped. Press
the ECO button again to deactivate
the function and restore the normal
driving setting.
WARNING
22)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
23)Before starting any servicing operation,
stop the engine and remove the key from
the ignition switch to operate the steering
lock, particularly when the wheels do
not touch the ground. If this is not possible
(for example if the key needs to be turned
to MAR or the engine must be running),
remove the main fuse that protects the
electric power steering.
