SUNROOF
(for versions/markets where available)
The large electric sun roof comprises two glass panels; the
front one is mobile and the rear one fixed. These are
equipped with two sun blinds (front and rear) that can be
moved manually. With the sun roof closed, the blinds can
be placed in any position. To open the blinds: grip han-
dle C-fig. 49, and move the blind to the required position
by following the direction of movement shown by the ar-
row. To close them, carry out the procedure in reverse. The
sun roof can be operated only with the ignition key turned
to MAR. The controls A-B fig. 49 on the front courtesy
light trim operate the roof opening/closing functions.
Opening
Press and hold down button B-fig. 49. The front glass
panel will move into the spoiler position; press button B
once again and hold down for more than half a second
to automatically move the sun roof to an intermediate po-
sition (“Comfort” position). If the opening control is
pressed again for more than half a second, the roof will
automatically continue until it reaches the end of travel
position; the roof glass can be stopped in an intermediate
position by operating the button again.
IMPORTANT During the sun roof opening operation, the
blind will follow the movement of the sun roof.

Closing
With the roof in the fully open position, press button
A-fig. 49 and, if the button is operated for more than half
a second, the front roof glass will automatically assume
the intermediate position (comfort position).
If the button is operated again for about half a second the
roof will assume the spoiler position. Lastly, if the clos-
ing button is pressed again, the roof will assume the fully
closed position.
fig. 49L0E0108m
Use the sunroof only at “spoiler” position if
cross roof racks are fitted. Never open the roof
in presence of snow or ice to prevent damage.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
key from the ignition to avoid the risk of in-
jury to those still inside the car due to acci-
dental operation of the sunroof. Improper use of the
roof can be dangerous. Before operation, always
check that no-one is at risk of being injured by the
moving sunroof or by objects getting caught and
dragged by it.
Anti-pinch device
The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety system 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 reversed.IMPORTANT The blind will remain in the fully open po-
sition when closing the sun roof. If you would like to close
it, this must be done manually.

INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
After the battery has been disconnected or a fuse has
blown, the operation of the sun roof must be initialised
again.
Proceed as follows:
❍press button A-fig. 49 until the sun roof is completely
closed. Release the button;
❍press and hold down button A for at least 10 seconds
and/or until the glass panel moves forwards by one
click. Release the button at this point;
❍press button A within 5 seconds of this operation and
keep it pressed: the glass panel will complete a full
opening and closing cycle. Release the button only at
the end of this cycle.EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the switch does not work, the sunroof can be operated
manually as follows:
❍remove protective cap A-fig. 50 on the rear part of the
internal cover;
❍take the Allen key provided from the container with
the on-board documentation or from the luggage
compartment (versions with Fix&Go automatic);
❍fit the key into seat B and turn it:
– clockwise to open the roof;
– anticlockwise to close the roof.

CLOSING THE TAILGATE fig. 56
To close, lower the tailgate pressing near the lock until
you hear it click. There are handles B provided inside the
tailgate to allow it to be closed more easily.
fig. 56L0E0047m
If you travel in areas with few filling stations
and you want to transport fuel in a spare
tank, comply with the regulations in force
and use only an approved, suitably secured tank. In
the event of a collision the fire risk is increased all
the same.
Take care not to knock objects on the roof rack
when opening the tailgate.
Never exceed the maximum allowed load in
the luggage compartment; see chapter 6.
Make sure that the objects are well arranged
in the boot so that they will not be projected for-
wards following sudden braking. Never travel with
the tailgate open: exhaust gases may get into the
passenger’s compartment.

ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
FASTENERS
The attachments are located in the areas illustrated in fig.
66 and can only be reached with the doors open.
Lineaccessori provides a specific roof rack/ski rack for
the tailgate.
IMPORTANT Follow the instructions contained in the as-
sembly kit carefully. Assembly must be performed by
qualified personnel.
fig. 66L0E0111m
Comply with applicable laws concerning
maximum overall dimensions.
Evenly distribute the load and take into ac-
count, when driving, the increased respon-
siveness of the car to side wind.
Never exceed the maximum permitted loads;
see chapter “6”.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB
radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the car
unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of such devices inside the passen-
ger compartment (without a separate aerial), may cause
the car’s electronic systems to malfunction. This could
compromise safety in addition to constituting a poten-
tial hazard for passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices
may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle
body. As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is
concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), follow the instructions
for use provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.REFUELLING THE CAR
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number (R.O.N.)
not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads to
harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pol-
lution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.

SAFETY163
FRONT AIR BAGS
The car is provided with front air bags for the driver and
the passenger, driver’s knee air bag (for versions/markets
where provided) and front side bags (side bags – window
bags).
The front air bags (driver, passenger driver’s knee bag)
protect the occupants of the front seats in the event of
moderate to serious front impacts by positioning the bag
between the occupant and the steering wheel or the dash-
board.
Therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the bag inflate in the
event of a frontal impact.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself be-
tween the front occupants body and the structures which
could cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knee air
bags) do not replace but rather complement the seat
belts, which you are always recommended to wear, as
specified by law in Europe and most non-European coun-
tries.
In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a seat belt
could move forward and come into contact with a bag
which is still in the opening phase. The protection offered
by the bag is reduced in such a case.The front air bags may not be activated in the following
situations:
❍front collisions against highly deformable objects not
affecting the front surface of the car (e.g. bumper col-
lision against guard rail, etc.);
❍car wedging under other vehicles or protective barri-
ers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they may not provide any additional protection compared
with seat belts, so their activation would be inappropri-
ate. Therefore, failure to come into action in the above
circumstances does not mean that the system is not work-
ing properly.
Do not apply stickers or other objects on the
steering wheel, on the dashboard in the pas-
senger side airbag area, on side upholstery
on roof and on the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mo-
bile phones) on the passenger’s side dashboard since
they could interfere with proper air bag inflation
and also cause serious injury to the passengers.

166SAFETY
SIDE AIR BAGS
(Side bag – Window bag)
SIDE BAG fig. 10
It consists of an instantly-inflating bag housed in the front
seat backrest. It protects the chest and the pelvis of the
passengers in the event of side impacts of medium-high
severity.WINDOW BAG fig. 11
This is formed by two “curtain” window bags located be-
hind the side roof cover and are covered by special trim.
They are designed to protect the head of front and rear
passengers in the event of side collisions, thanks to the
wide cushion inflation surface.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side impact, the system
provides best protection if the passenger sits on the seat
in a correct position, thus allowing correct window bag
deployment.
