panes of glass, one of which is mobile and
the other fixed. These are equipped with
two shutters (front and rear) that can be
moved manually. The shutters can be used
in the “fully closed” or “fully open” posi-
tions (they have no fixed intermediate po-
sitions). To open the shutters: grip handle
A-fig. 68, release it and move it in the
direction of the arrows to the “fully open”
position. To close them, carry out the
procedure in reverse. The sunroof can be
operated only when the ignition key is
turned to MAR. The controls A-B fig. 67
on a dedicated dashboard near the front
ceiling lights open and close the sunroof.
To open
Press and hold button B-fig. 67, and the
front pane will set to the “spoiler” posi-
tion; press button B-fig. 67 again for over
half a second to make the sunroof slide au-
tomatically to the wide open position;
press the button once more to stop the
sunroof at an intermediate position.To close
When in wide open position, press but-
ton A-fig. 67for over half a second to set
the front pane to the “spoiler” position;
press the button again to stop the sunroof
at an intermediate position; press button

ANTI-PINCH SAFETY SYSTEM
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety sys-
tem capable of detecting the presence of
an obstacle whilst the roof is closing; when
this happens, the system stops and the
movement of the glass is immediately re-
versed.
INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
The sunroof must be re-initialised after
disconnecting the battery or if the rele-
vant protection fuse is blown.
Proceed as follows:
❒press button A-fig. 69at close posi-
tion;
❒hold the button down so that the sun-
roof closes in stages;
❒after full closing, wait for sunroof’s elec-
tric motor to stop.When leaving the car, always remove the
key from the ignition to avoid the risk of
injury due to accidental operation of the
sunroof. 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 and
dragged by it.
EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the switch fails, the sun roof can be
moved manually as follows:
❒remove the protection cap located
between the two shutters;
❒take the Allen key (provided as stan-
dard) from the toolbox in the boot;
❒insert the key into hole A-fig. 69and
turn it:
– clockwise to open the roof;
– anticlockwise to close the roof.

ESPSYSTEM(Electronic
StabilityProgram)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is an electronic system that controls
car stability in the event of tyre grip loss,
helping to maintain directional control.
The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when road surface grip changes.
In addition to the ESP system, ASR system
and Hill Holder, the MSR system (adjusting
the engine braking torque) and the HBA
system (improving the braking force dur-
ing emergency braking) are also provided
(for versions/markets, where provided).
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
This is signalled by the flashing of warn-
ing light
áon the instrument panel, to in-
form the driver that the car is in critical
stability and grip conditions.
When the ABS cuts in and
you feel the brake pedal pul-
sating, do not remove your foot, but
keep the pedal pushed down; in do-
ingsoyou,willstopintheshortest
distance possible under the road con-
ditions at the time.
WARNINGEBD failure
This is indicated by the
>andxwarn-
ing lights on the instrument panel togeth-
er with the dedicated message on the mul-
tifunction display (for versions/markets,
where provided) coming on (see “Warn-
ing lights and messages” section).
In this case, the rear wheels may sudden-
ly lock and the vehicle may swerve when
braking sharply. Drive carefully to the
nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked.
If only thexwarning light
on the instrument panel
lights up (together with a message in
the multifunction display, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) stop
the vehicle immediately and contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid
leaking from the hydraulic system will
compromise the operation of the
braking system, whether it is of the
conventional type or with ABS.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
Any failure of the electric power steering
system is indicated by instrument panel
warning light
gcoming on together with
a message on the multifunction display (for
versions/markets, where provided) (see
section “Warning lights and messages”).
In the event of electric power steering sys-
tem failure, the car can be driven with me-
chanical steering.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, fac-
tors independent of the electric power
steering could cause the
gwarning light
in the instrument panel to come on.
In this case, stop the car immediately,
switch off the engine for about 20 seconds
and then restart the car. If the warning
light
gis still on, along with the message
on the multifunction display (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided), contact
a Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT The steering may become
stiffer during parking manoeuvres that re-
quire a lot of turns of the wheel. This is
normal and is caused by the electric con-
trol motor overheating protection system.
No repairs are needed. The power steer-
ing system will start working properly
again the next time the car is used.
It is absolutely forbidden to
carry out any after-market
operation involving steering system or
steering column modifications (e.g. in-
stallation of anti-theft device) that
could badly affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and
also result in the car failing to com-
ply with regulations.
WARNING
Before servicing the car,
switch off the engine and re-
move the key from the ignition to ac-
tivate the steering lock. This is espe-
cially important when the car wheels
are not touching the ground. If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the en-
gine must be running), remove the
main fuse that protects the electric
power steering.
