2015 FIAT 500X key

Front window anti-pinch safety
device(where provided)
This safety system can recognise the
presence of any obstacle during the
window closing movement. If this
occurs, the system stops the window's
movement and reverts it, depending
on its position. The window then lowers
by about 5 cm in relation to the first
stop position. The window cannot be
operated in any way during this time.Electric window system
initialisationIf power supply is interrupted, the
electric window automatic operation
must be reinitialised.
The initialisation procedure described
below must be carried out with the
doors closed and for each door:
❒close the window by keeping the
button pressed;
❒once the window is completely
closed, keep the button pressed for at
least 3 seconds.
WARNING
21)Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that nobody
is exposed to the risk of being injured
either directly by the moving window or
through objects getting caught or by being
hit. When leaving the vehicle (equipped
with mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.

glass panels (the front one is mobile
and the rear one fixed) and is fitted with
two manually operated sun blinds.
Operation of the sun roof is only

SWIVEL OPENINGTo bring the roof into "swivel" position,
press and release button C fig. 38.
This type of swivel-opening can be
activated irrespective of the position of
the sun roof. When starting with the
roof in closed position, pressing the
button automatically causes its
swivel-opening. If the roof is already
open, the button must be held until the
roof reaches the swivel-opening
position.Pressing button C again during
automatic movement of the roof will
stop it.
ANTI-PINCH DEVICEThe sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement: if this happens, the
system intervenes and the movement
of the roof is immediately reversed
into opening.EMERGENCY OPERATIONIf the control buttons fail to operate, the
sun roof can be moved manually,
proceeding as described below:
❒remove protective cap A fig. 39 on
the internal trim;
❒take Allen key B provided;
❒place Allen key B into housing A;❒turn Allen key B in a clockwise
direction to open the roof or in an
anticlockwise direction to close it.
INITIALISATION
PROCEDUREAfter irregular behaviour of the sun roof
or an emergency manoeuvre (see
description in the previous paragraph),
the automatic operation of the sun
roof must be initialised again.
Proceed as follows:
❒press button A fig. 38 to bring the
roof into completely closed position;
❒bring the ignition device to STOP and
wait at least 10 seconds;
❒bring the ignition device to MAR;
❒hold button A down for at least 10
seconds, then you should hear the
mechanical stop of the roof motor;
❒within 5 seconds hold button A
down: the roof will perform a complete
automatic opening and closing cycle (to
indicate that the initialisation procedure
has been successful). If this does not
occur, the procedure must be restarted
from the beginning.

The vehicle is equipped with a
reconfigurable load platform A, which
makes the boot volume modular.
The load platform can be set to 2
different positions:
❒Floor level (low)fig. 47: allows you
to exploit the entire volume of the boot.
❒Threshold level (high)fig. 48: in
conjunction with the lowering of the rear
seat and front passenger side seat
backrests, permits long objects to be
loaded. It also facilitates loading/
unloading of objects in the boot. It also
allows the space underneath (false
bottom) to be used as a further
compartment for stowing objects which
are more fragile or small.

ENGINE STARTING
F
AILURE
Starting the engine with electronic
key battery (Keyless Go) run down
or flatIf the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run
down or flat. Therefore, the system
does not detect the presence of the
electronic key on board the vehicle and
displays a dedicated message. In this
case, rest the rounded edge of the
electronic key (the side opposite the
metal insert) on the ignition device and
press the button using the electronic
key. The ignition device is thus
activated and the engine can be
started.
WARNING
103)Do not try to start the engine by
pouring fuel or other flammable fluid inside
the throttle body air intake: this might
damage the engine and injury people
nearby.
104)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and produces carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
105)The brake servo is not operational
until the engine has been started; therefore
you need to apply much more force than
usual to the brake pedal.
