SUNROOF OPENING/CLOSING
With key without remote control
(where provided)
Opening: turn the key clockwise in the
door revolving plug.
Closing: turn the key counterclockwise in
the door revolving plug.
With key with remote control
Opening: prolonged pressing (for more
than 2 seconds) on button
Ë.
Closing: prolonged pressing (for more
than 2 seconds) on button
Á.
When buttons
Á/Ë, are released, the
above functions are cut-off.
When opening, blades and curtain open at
the same time.
When closing, the curtain closes first and
then are closed the blades.ANTI-CRUSHING SAFETY
SYSTEM
The anti-crushing safety system fitted on
the front curtain outline is active along the
whole closing range of the curtain and cuts
into operation when an obstacle (e.g.: fin-
ger, hand, etc...) is met. This safety device
guarantees the reversal for a short sec-
tion.
In addition, the anti-crushing safety system
is active on the rear border of the first
blade and on the front outline of the sec-
ond blade: in this case it is active on the
whole closing range of the curtain and cuts
into operation when an obstacle (e.g.: fin-
ger, hand, etc...) is met. This safety device
guarantees the reversal for a short sec-
tion.
As concerns the first blade it is active on
the whole rotation range and guarantees
the reversal of the whole stroke.
After anti-crushing system activation, re-
setting can be carried out with the fol-
lowing 2 procedures:
❒pushing knob A-fig. 83upwards (reset
previously stopped movement);
❒turning knob Ato another position.INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
Sunroof shall be re-initialised after dis-
connecting the battery or if the relevant
protection fuse is blown:
❒turn knob A-fig. 81to “0” (fully
closed);
❒keep the knob pressed for over 5 sec-
onds: the sunroof will close jerkily;
❒keep the knob pressed and wait for
complete closing of the sunroof, until
the sun curtain clicks twice.
Sunroof is now initialised and it shall work
regularly. Otherwise, contact Fiat Deal-
ership.
IMPORTANT Carry out the initialisation
procedure with the engine running. If stop-
ping the initialisation procedure before
ending it, repeat it from the beginning.

ANTI-CRUSHING SYSTEM
INHIBITION
Ice or other foreign matters in the sun-
roof rails could cause anti-crushing re-
peated operation. Therefore make sure
there is no obstacle.
In this case it is possible to inhibit the an-
ti-crushing system by closing the roof
(within 5 seconds from system activation),
turning knob A-fig. 81to 0and keeping
it pressed upwards until closing.
IMPORTANT During this operation do
not release knob A; if releasing the knob
and then pressing it again, it will be nec-
essary to carry out the initialisation pro-
cedure described in the previous para-
graph.
IMPORTANT During this operation the
anti-crushing system is cut-out.EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the electrical control device does not
work, the sunroof can be operated man-
ually as follows:
❒remove the front ceiling light A-
fig. 82pressing on the sides of the plas-
tic shape as shown by the arrow;
❒insert the proper emergency key B-
fig. 83(located inside the ceiling light)
into the seat C-fig. 84;
❒turn the key to open or close (accord-
ing to the rotation direction) the glass
blades.Then, carry out the initialisation proce-
dure described on previous page.

FRONT AIR BAGS
The car is fitted with front multistage air
bags (“Smart bag”) for driver and passen-
ger, front side bags (where provided), rear
side bags (where provided) and window
bags (where provided).
“SMART BAG” SYSTEM (FRONT
MULTISTAGE AIR BAGS)
The front air bag (driver and passenger)
has been designed to protect the occu-
pants in the event of head-on crashes of
medium-high severity, by placing the cush-
ion between the occupant and the steer-
ing wheel or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect
car’s occupants in front crashes and there-
fore non-activation in other types of col-
lisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-
overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.In case of front crash, an electronic con-
trol unit, when required, triggers the in-
flation of the cushion according to the
severity of the collision.
The cushion immediately inflates, placing
itself as a protection between the body
of the front occupants and the structure
that could cause injuries. Immediately af-
ter, the cushion deflates.
The front air bag (driver and passenger) is
not a replacement of but complementary
to the use of belts, which should always
be worn, as specified by law in Europe and
most non-European countries.
In case of crash, a person not wearing the
seat belt moves forward and may come in-
to contact with the cushion while it is still
inflating. Under this circumstance the pro-
tection offered by the air bag is reduced.
Do not apply stickers or oth-
er objects to the steering
wheel or to the air bag cover on the
passenger’s side or on the side roof
lining. Do not put objects on the
dashboard on passenger side (e.g. mo-
bile phones) since they could interfere
with proper passenger air bag infla-
tion and cause injuries to the car’s
passengers.
WARNING
Front air bag may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in collisions against highly deformable
objects not affecting the car front sur-
face (e.g. bumper collision against guard
rail);
❒car wedging under other vehicles or
protective barriers (for example under
a truck or guard rail);
as it offers no additional protection com-
pared with the seat belts, consequently,
it would be pointless. Therefore, failure to
come into action in the above circum-
stances does not mean that the system is
not working properly.

SIDE AIR BAGS
(Side bag -
Window bag)
SIDE BAG (where provided)
They are composed by two types of in-
stant inflation cushions and are housed in
the back rests of the front seats fig. 24
and in the side stuffing of the rear seats
(where provided) fig. 25. The task of the
side air bags is to increase protection of
the occupants’ chest in the event of a side
crash of medium-high severity.
WINDOW BAG (where provided)
fig. 26
They consist of two “curtain” cushions lo-
cated behind the side coverings of the roof
and covered by proper finishings; this so-
lution, studied for the head protection, al-
lows offering the best protection to the
front and rear occupants in the event of
side crash, thanks to the wide cushion in-
flation surface.In minor side crashes (for which the re-
straining action of the seat belts is suffi-
cient), the air bags are not deployed. Also in this case it is of vital importance to
wear the seat belts since in case of side
crash they guarantee proper positioning
of the occupant and prevent the occupants
to be pitched out of the car in case of vi-
olent crashes.
Therefore the front and rear side bags
(where provided) are not a replacement
of but complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always wear, as
specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash,
you can obtain the best protection by the
system keeping a correct position on the
seat, allowing thus a correct window bag
unfolding.

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of toxic
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.
