TWO-SIDED REAR
SWING-DOORS fig. 74
Two-sided rear swing-doors are supplied
with a spring loaded system that stops
them during opening with an approx. an-
gle of 90 degrees.
fig. 74F0T0139m
This spring loaded system
has activation forces which
were designed for optimised comfort.
Accidental shocks or a strong wind-
blast may release the springs and let
the door sides close spontaneously.
WARNING

WINDOWS (where provided)
Buttons fig. 78have been provided on the
driver’s door panel to control the follow-
ing functions with the ignition turned to
MAR:
A:opening/closing of left-hand window;
B:opening/closing of right-hand window.
Press buttons Aor Bto open/close the
desired window.
When one of these buttons is pressed
shortly, the window “jogs”; when pressed
for long, continuous automatic window
lifting or lowering is engaged. The window
stops in the required position when but-
ton Aor Bis pressed again.
The power windows are fitted with a safe-
ty system (where provided) that detects
the presence of an obstacle during win-
dow closing and cuts in by stopping and
reversing the window stroke.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush function is
enabled for 5 times within 1 minute, the
system automatically switches to “recov-
ery” mode (self-protection). This condi-
tion is highlighted by upward jogging of the
window while closing.In this case, it is necessary to carry out the
system restore procedure 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.
IMPORTANT With ignition key in STOP
position or removed, the power windows
remain activated for about 2 minutes and
are deactivated immediately as soon as a
door is opened.
fig. 78F0T0044m
Incorrect use of the power
windows may be dangerous.
Before operation, always check that
no passenger is exposed to the risk of
being injured directly by the moving
window or by objects getting caught
in or dragged by the window.
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, al-
ways remove the ignition key
to avoid the risk of injury due to ac-
cidental operation of the power win-
dows.
WARNING
FRONT MANUAL
WINDOW WINDERS
Some versions feature manual window
winders.
To open/close, operate the handle.

CLOSING THE BONNET
Proceed as follows:
❒lift the hood with one hand and with the
other pull toward you the device A-fig.
92and then lower the lever B;
❒lower the hood to approximately 20
centimetres from the engine compart-
ment, then let it drop, ensuring, trying
to lift it, that it is fully closed, not just
hooked in safety position. In the latter
case do not press on the hood, lift it
again and repeat the operation.IMPORTANT A label with a description
of the above engine hood opening/clos-
ing operations is located under the engine
hood (see fig. 92a).
The bonnet must always be
perfectly closed during trav-
el for safety reasons. Make sure that
the bonnet is perfectly closed and
that the lock is engaged. If you dis-
cover that the bonnet is not perfect-
ly closed during travel, stop immedi-
ately and close the bonnet in the cor-
rect manner.

ABS SYSTEM
The vehicle is fitted with an ABS braking
system, which prevents the wheels from
locking when braking, makes the most of
road grip and gives the best control when
emergency braking under difficult road
conditions.
The system is completed by EBD (Elec-
tronic Braking Force Distribution), which
distributes the braking action between
front and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To achieve maximum effi-
ciency of the braking system, a running-
in period of about 500 km is required.
During this time, avoid sudden, repeated
and prolonged braking.ABS SYSTEM INTERVENTION
Intervention of the ABS is detected by a
slight pulsing of the brake pedal accompa-
nied by noise: such an event indicates that
you need to adjust your speed to the type
of road on which you are travelling.
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current
road conditions.
WARNING
When the ABS trips, it means
that you are approaching
the grip limit between tyres and road:
slow down to exploit all the available
grip.
WARNING
The ABS system exploits the
tyre-road grip at best, but it
cannot improve it. Therefore, you
should take great care when driving
on slippery surfaces without taking
unnecessary risks.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning light
>on the instrument pan-
el (together with the dedicated message
on the display in some versions) (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
In the case, the braking system preserves
its efficiency, but cannot rely on the ex-
tra potentials offered by the ABS system.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership to have the system checked.EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by the turning on
of warning lights
>and xon the instru-
ment panel (together with the dedicated
message on the display in some versions)
(see section “Warning lights and mes-
sages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-
ly lock and the vehicle may swerve. Dri-
ve carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system checked.If warning light xonly lights
up on the instrument panel
(with a message on the display in
some versions), immediately stop the
vehicle and go to the nearest Fiat
Dealership. Leakage of hydraulic flu-
id from the braking system jeopardis-
es the functionality of the braking sys-
tem, either of the conventional type
or with ABS.

PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 96and their function is to in-
form the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the vehicle.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.
As the obstacle behind the vehicle comes
closer to the bumper, the buzzer becomes
more frequent.BUZZER WARNING
When reverse gear is engaged, an inter-
mittent buzzer automatically turns on (a
short beep to indicate the activation of the
system).
The beep:
❒becomes louder as the vehicle goes
closer to the obstacle;
❒becomes continuous when the distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle is
inferior to 30 cm and stops immediately
if the distance increases;
❒is constant if the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle does not
change.Detection distances
Central operating range 120 cm
Side operating range 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the parking sensors is indi-
cated when engaging reverse gear by a
beep lasting 3 seconds.

SAFETY
When the ignition key is tur-
ned to MAR, the warning li-
ght
¬turns on (front airbag on pas-
senger’s side enabled) and blinks for
a few seconds to remind that the pas-
senger airbag will activate in the
event of a collision. Then it turns off.
WARNING
The front airbags deploy in
the event of more severe col-
lisions than those required for de-
ploying the pretensioners. When the
shock is within the two deployment
thresholds, it is normal that preten-
sioners only are engaged.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace
seat belts, but increases their
efficiency. Furthermore, since front
airbags are not deployed after low
speed collisions, side collisions, rear-
end shunts or roll-overs, the vehicle
occupants are only protected by the
seat belts, which must be fastened at
all times.
WARNING
When the ignition key is in
and turned in the MAR posi-
tion and the engine is off, the airbags
may deploy if the vehicle is crashed by
another moving vehicle. For this rea-
son, children must never sit on the
front seat, even if the vehicle is not
moving. We remind you that if the key
is inserted and turned in the STOP po-
sition, no safety device (airbag or pre-
tensioner) activates following a colli-
sion. Non-deployment in such cases
must not be considered as the sign of
a malfunction.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stolen or an
attempt is made to steal it, if
it is subject to criminal attacks or
flooding, have the airbag system
checked by the Fiat Dealership.
