Never use the rear window
wiper to remove ice or snow
from the rear window. In these
conditions, the wiper is sub-
mitted to excessive effort that results in
motor protection cutting in and wiper
operation inhibition for few seconds as
a consequence. If operation is not re-
stored (also after restarting the vehicle
by the ignition key) contact Fiat Deal-
ership.

FUNCTIONING
Manual operation
Press the button or pull it, without going
beyond the resistance point. The window
stops as soon as the command is released.
Automatic Operation
Press the button or pull it, beyond the re-
sistance point. The window opens or clos-
es completely after having released the
command: a new impulse stops the win-
dow movement.
The electrical functions of the window
winder are deactivated:
– Approx. 45 seconds after the key is tak-
en out of the switch.
– After the opening of one of the rear
doors, with the key taken out.ANTI-CRUSHING SAFETY
SYSTEM
If the vehicle is equipped with this system,
when the window rises and it meets with
an obstacle, it stops and it slightly lowers.
In case of a sudden opening of the window
upon closure, press the button until it is
completely open. Within 4 seconds, pull
the button until the window is complete-
ly closed.
During these operations, the safety sys-
tem is not active.Re-initialise of the anti-crushing
system
After a disconnection of the battery, it is
necessary to re-initialise the safety func-
tion.
Let the window lower completely and
then let it rise. It will progressively rise, a
few centimetres upon each pressure of
the button. Repeat the operation until the
window is completely open.
Keep the command pressed for at least a
second after the complete closure of the
window.
During these operations, the safety sys-
tem is not active.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver and passenger airbags
(for versions/markets where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in the
event of head-on impacts of medium-high
severity, by placing the bag between the
occupant and the steering wheel or dash-
board. Therefore non-deployment in
other types of impacts (side impacts, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not indicate
a system malfunction. Front driver and passenger airbags (for ver-
sions/markets where provided) are not a
replacement for, but are complementary
to, the seat belts, which you are recom-
mended to always wear, as specified by law
in Europe and most non-European coun-
tries.
An electronic control unit will inflate the
bag, when necessary, in the event of a
frontal impact. The bag will inflate instan-
taneously placing itself between the front
occupant’s body and the structures which
could cause injury. It will deflate immedi-
ately afterwards. The volume of front
airbags at max. inflation fills most of the
space between the steering wheel and the
driver and between the dashboard and the
passenger.
AIRBAGThe car is equipped with front airbags for
driver and passenger (for versions/markets,
where provided), seat-mounted side airbags
for driver’s and passenger pelvis-chest-
shoulder protection (for versions/ markets,
where provided), and window airbags for
protecting the heads of front and rear out-
er occupants (for versions/markets where
provided).
The location of the airbags on the car is
marked by the writing “AIRBAG” in the
middle of the steering wheel, on the dash-
board, on the side trim or on a label placed
next to the airbag deployment area.In the event of impact, those not wearing
a seat belt are projected forwards and may
come into contact with the bag which is still
inflating. The protection offered by the bag
is compromised in these circumstances.
Front airbags may not activate in the fol-
lowing situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformable
objects not involving the front surface of
the vehicle (e.g. wing collision against
guard rail, heaps of gravel, etc.);❒underride impacts with other vehicles;
Failure to activate in the conditions de-
scribed above is due to the fact that they
may not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their activa-
tion would be inappropriate. In these cas-
es, non-deployment of the airbag does not
necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF
THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS
(for versions/markets where provided)
If a child must absolutely be carried on one
of the front seats, deactivate the front pas-

markets, where provided).
The deactivation device fig. 14is located
on the edge of the glove compartment; to
access it open its flap. fig. 14

the deactivation device to O

vate the airbag or to O

Warning light
“

el stays on constantly until the front pas-
senger airbags and side bag for chest pro-
tection (side bag) (for versions/markets
where provided) are reactivated.
SIDE BAGSThe car is equipped with front side airbags
for driver and passenger (for
versions/markets, where provided) pelvis,
chest and shoulder protection (front side
bags), airbags for protecting the heads of
front and rear occupants (window bags)
(for versions/markets where provided).
The front side airbags (for versions/mar-
kets, where provided) protect the occu-
pants during impacts of medium-high
severity, by placing the bag between the
occupant and the internal parts of the side
structure of the vehicle. Therefore non-
deployment of the side bags in other types
of impacts (front, rear, roll-overs, etc.)
does not indicate a system malfunction.
Side airbags (for versions/markets where
provided) are not a replacement for, but
are complementary to, the seat belts,
which you are recommended to always
wear, as specified by law in Europe and
most non-European countries.
An electronic control unit will inflate the
bags, when necessary, in the event of a
side impact. The bags will inflate instanta-
neously placing themselves between the
occupant bodies and the structures which
could cause injuries;

IMPORTANT Do not affix rigid objects to

IMPORTANT Do not rest your head,

IMPORTANT Never lean your head, arms

WINDOW BAG fig. 16
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These comprise two “curtain” bags, one
on the right side and one on the left side
of the vehicle, housed behind the roof side
linings and covered by special trims. They
are designed to protect the head of front
and rear occupants in the event of a side
impact, thanks to the wide cushion infla-
tion surface.
In the event of a side impact, the system
provides best protection if the passenger
sits on the seat in a correct position, thus
allowing correct deployment of the side
bags.
