before getting out of the car check
that there is no one left on board. If the
remote control battery is flat, the device
can only be deactivated by using the
metal insert in one of the door locks.

provided); “continuous automatic”
operation during window
opening/closing stage.Window opening
Push the buttons to open the desired
window.
When one of the two buttons is
pressed briefly, the window moves in
"stages"; if the button is held down,
"continuous automatic" operation
is activated.
If the control button is pressed again,
the window will stop in the desired
position. If the button is held down for
several seconds, the window raises
or lowers automatically (only with
ignition key in MAR position).
Window closing
Lift the buttons to close the desired

The window closing stage occurs
following the same logics described for
the opening stage.
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 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.

60) Parking and other dangerous
manoeuvres are, however, always
the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres,
always make sure that no people
(especially children) or animals are
in the area concerned. The
parking sensors are an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never
allow their attention to lapse
during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed
at low speeds.REFUELLING THE
CAR
Stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol 95 R.O.N.
compliant with the European
specification EN228. The petrol octane
rating (R.O.N.) must not be lower than
95. In order to prevent damage to
the catalytic converter never introduce
even the smallest amount of leaded
petrol, even in the event of an
emergency.
DIESEL ENGINES
Use only diesel fuel compliant with
European specification EN590. The use
of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty,
due to the damage caused.
Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel thickens due to the formation
of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold,
mountain areas).
If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable
to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in
the proportions shown on the container
with the fuel. Pour the additive into
the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the car for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available fuel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
FILLING THE TANK
To fill the tank completely, top-up twice
after the first click of the fuel supply
gun. Further top-ups could cause faults
in the fuel feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP
The fuel flap is unlocked when the
central locking system is released and
automatically locked when the central
locking system is applied.
