POWER WINDOWS
Power windows are fitted with anti-crush-
ing safety device to detect the presence of
an obstacle in the window closing stroke.
If an obstacle is detected, the safety sys-
tem will stop window closing and will re-
verse window stroke.
IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-
crushing function is activated 5 times in
only 1 minute, the system will automati-
cally enter the “recovery” mode (self-pro-
tection). This conditions is pointed out by
the fact that, in the closing phase, the win-
dow goes up in jerks.
So, it is necessary to carry out the sys-
tem restore procedure, acting as follows:
❒open the windows;
or
❒turn the ignition key to STOPand then
to MAR.If no malfunction is present, the window
returns to its normal operation automat-
ically. In the event of failure make refer-
ence to section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”.
IMPORTANT With the ignition key to
STOPor removed, the power windows
remain activated for about 2 minutes and
are deactivated immediately the moment
a door is opened.CONTROLS
Driver side fig. 87
On the driver’s door panel are set the but-
tons for controlling, with ignition key at

A: front left window opening/closing;
window opening or closing in “auto-
matic continuous” mode;
B: front right window opening/closing;
window opening or closing in “auto-
matic continuous” mode;
C: rear power window enabling/disabling
controls;
D: rear left window opening/closing; “au-
tomatic continuous” operation just
during window opening;
E: rear right window opening/closing;
“automatic continuous” operation just
during window opening.

The system conforms to the
forthcoming standard
2000/4/EC concerning the safety of
passengers leaning out of the pas-
senger compartment. At the same
time, the upper outer gasket is not
equipped with anti-crush protection
in order to guarantee protection
against unwanted access from outside
the car.

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.
