also on the rear doors, buttons F fig. 62
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
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.

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The “GSI” (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a special indication on the
display fig. 99.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
Therefore, for driving oriented towards
reducing fuel consumption, it is
recommended to stick to "Natural" or
"All Weather" mode and to follow the
suggestions of the Gear Shift Indicator,
where the traffic conditions allow it.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a higher
gear, when the SHIFT DOWN (
SHIFT) icon is displayed, it advises
the driver to engage a lower gear.NoteThe indication in the instrument
panel remains on until the driver shifts
gear or the driving conditions go back
to a situation where gearshifting is
not required to improve consumption.

turned to MAR-ON, the following
occurs:
❒quick movement (up and down) of
the speedometer and rpm gauge;
❒lighting of graphic symbols/display;
