Anti-crush safety device
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car’s anti-crush function is active as the windows are being raised.
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 time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush protection intervenes 5 consecutive times
within a minute or is faulty, the automatic closing operation of the
window is inhibited, only allowing it in steps of half a second with the
button 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.

unlocked when the car is in motion.OPENINGWhen unlocked, the boot can be opened from outside the car by

button on the remote control.
The direction indicators will flash twice and an internal light will switch
on when the luggage compartment is opened: the light switches off
automatically when the luggage compartment is closed. The light
switches off automatically after a few minutes if the luggage
compartment is left open.Emergency opening from the inside
