FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This intervenes in the case of an impact causing:
❒the interruption of the fuel supply with the
engine consequently cutting out
❒the automatic unlocking of the doors
❒the automatic switching on of the interior lights
❒the switching on of the hazard warning lights.
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the car for fuel
leaks, for instance in the engine compartment,
under the car or near the tank area. After a
collision, turn the ignition key to STOP to prevent
the battery from running down.
To restore the correct operation of the car, proceed
as follows:❒turn the ignition key to the MAR position;
❒activate the right direction indicator;
❒deactivate the right direction indicator;
❒activate the left direction indicator;
❒deactivate the left direction indicator;

ELECTRIC WINDOWSThese operate when the ignition key is turned to
MAR and for about three minutes after turning
the key to STOP or removing it if one of the front
doors is open.
The control buttons are located in the door panels
(for versions/markets, where provided) (the driver
side door panel can be used to operate all the
windows).
An anti-crush device operates when the front and
rear windows are raised (for versions/markets,
where provided).
WARNING
Improper use of the electric windows
can be dangerous.
Before and during
operation, always check that passengers are
not exposed to the risk of being injured
either directly by the moving windows or
through objects getting caught or struck by
them. When leaving the car, always remove
the ignition key to avoid the risk of injury
of people still on board due to accidental
operation of the electric windows.CONTROLS

Front and rear passenger doors
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On the passenger side front door control panel,
and on some versions also on the rear doors,
buttons are provided to control the associated
windows.
Anti-crush safety device
The car is equipped with an anti-crush function
for the raising of the front and rear windows. This
safety system detects the presence of an obstacle
during the window closing travel and intervenes
by stopping and reversing the window travel,
depending on its position.
This device is also useful if the windows are
activated accidentally by children on board the
car.The anti-crush safety function is active both
during the manual and the automatic operation of
the window. When the anti-crush system is
activated the window travel is immediately
interrupted and then reversed. The window
cannot be operated in any way during this
operation.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush protection
intervenes 3 consecutive times within 1 minute or
is faulty, the automatic closing operation of the
window is inhibited, only allowing it in steps
of half a second; the button is released for the
subsequent manoeuvre. In order to restore the
correct operation of the system, the relevant
window must be lowered.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or
removed, the electric windows remain active for
about 3 minutes and are deactivated when a door
is opened.
IMPORTANT Where the anti-crush function is
present, pressing button
on the remote control
for more than 2 seconds opens the windows for as
long as the button is pressed. Pressing button
for more than 2 seconds closes the windows.
The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC
standard concerning the safety of
passengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment.

ABS SYSTEMABS is an integral part of the braking system
which prevents, whatever the road conditions and
force applied to the brake pedal, the wheels from
locking and consequently sliding under braking,
thus ensuring that the car remains under control
even during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force
Distribution) completes the system allowing the
brake force to be distributed between the front
and rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To obtain the maximum efficiency
of the braking system, a bedding-in period of
about 500 km is needed: during this period it is
better to avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged
braking.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most from the
available grip, but
it cannot improve
it; you should therefore take every care when
driving on slippery surfaces and not take
unnecessary risks.SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS system has come
into action because the brake pedal pulsates
slightly and the system gets noisier: it means that
the car speed should be altered to suit the type
of road surface.
WARNING
When the ABS cuts in and you feel
the brake pedal
pulsating, do not
remove your foot, but keep the pedal pushed
down; in doing so you, will stop in the
shortest distance possible under the road
conditions at the time.
WARNING
If the ABS system is activated, this
indicates that the
traction of the tires
on the road is nearing its limit. You must
slow down to a speed compatible with the
available wheel traction.

MSR SYSTEM
(Motor Schleppmoment Regelung)
This system is an integral part of the ABS, that
intervenes, if there is sudden downshifting,
restoring torque to the engine, thereby preventing
excessive drive at the drive wheels which,
especially in poor grip conditions, could lead to a
loss in stability of the car.
START&STOP SYSTEMINTRODUCTION
The Start&Stop system automatically stops the
engine each time the car is stationary and starts it
again when the driver wants to move off. In this
way, the car efficiency is increased, by reducing
consumption, dangerous gas emissions and noise
pollution.
The system activates every time the car is started.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops with
gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal released.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped
automatically after driving at a speed of more
than about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine from
being repeatedly stopped when driving at walking
pace.

stops.

ENGINE STOPPING FAILURE CONDITIONS
When the system is active, due to comfort,
emission control and safety reasons, the engine
does not stop in some conditions, among which:
❒engine still cold;
❒especially cold outside temperature;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒heated rear window activated;
❒windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒particulate filter regeneration (DPF) in progress
(diesel engines only);
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example, for parking
manoeuvres);
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets, where provided),
if an adequate level of thermal comfort has
not been reached or with MAX-DEF activation;
❒during the first period of use, to initialise the
system.
