SKY DOME SUNROOF
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The large electric sunroof comprises two
panes of glass, one of which is mobile and
the other fixed. These are equipped with
two shutters (front and rear) that can be
moved manually. The shutters can be used
in the “fully closed” or “fully open” posi-
tions (they have no fixed intermediate po-
sitions). To open the shutters: grip handle
A-fig. 68, release it and move it in the
direction of the arrows to the “fully open”
position. To close them, carry out the
procedure in reverse. The sunroof can be
operated only when the ignition key is
turned to MAR. The controls A-B fig. 67
on a dedicated dashboard near the front
ceiling lights open and close the sunroof.
To open
Press and hold button B-fig. 67, and the
front pane will set to the “spoiler” posi-
tion; press button B-fig. 67 again for over
half a second to make the sunroof slide au-
tomatically to the wide open position;
press the button once more to stop the
sunroof at an intermediate position.To close
When in wide open position, press but-
ton A-fig. 67for over half a second to set

verse roof rack is fitted.
Do not open the sunroof if
there is snow or ice: it could
be damaged.
When leaving the car, al-
ways remove the key from
the ignition to avoid the risk of injury
due to accidental operation of the
sunroof. Improper use of the roof can
be dangerous. Before operation, al-
ways check that no-one is at risk of
being injured by the moving sunroof
or by objects getting caught and
dragged by it.

Following the locking of the doors using:
❒remote control;
❒door catch;
it will not be possible to unlock them by
pressing button
A-fig. 72located on the
dashboard.
IMPORTANT With central locking on,
pulling the internal handle of one of the
front doors will unlock that door. Indi-
vidual doors can be unlocked by pulling
the internal handle of one of the rear
doors.
If a power supply is not present (blown
fuse, battery disconnected, etc.) it is, how-
ever, possible to lock the doors manually.
After exceeding a speed of 20 km/h, all
doors will be centrally locked automati-
cally if the setup menu function has been
selected (see paragraph “Multifunction dis-
play” in this section).
Once the dead lock system is
engaged, it is impossible to
open the doors from inside the vehi-
cle. Before getting out of the car,
please therefore check that there is
no-one left on board. If the remote
control battery is flat, the system can
be disengaged only by inserting the
key in either of the door locks as de-
scribed previously: in this case the de-
vice remains active only for the rear
doors. DEAD LOCK
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This safety device inhibits the operation of:
❒interior handles;
❒locking/unlocking button A-fig. 72;
thereby preventing the opening of the
doors from inside the passenger com-
partment if there has been a break-in at-
tempt (e.g. a window has been broken).
The dead lock device therefore offers the
best possible protection against break-in
attempts. We recommend engaging it
whenever the vehicle is parked and left un-
attended.Device activation
The dead lock device is automatically ac-
tivated on every door by briefly pressing
the remote control button
Áfig. 70twice.
Device activation is indicated by 3 flashes
of the direction indicators and a flash of
the LED on button
A-fig. 72on the dash-
board.
If one or more of the doors is not closed
correctly, the dead lock device will not ac-
tivate, thus preventing a person from get-
ting stuck inside the passenger compart-
ment by entering the car through, and
then closing, the open door.
Device deactivation
The system is disabled automatically on
every door in the following cases:
❒when opening the driver’s door using
the key without remote control;
❒when unlocking doors using the remote
control;
❒when turning the ignition key to MAR.

MSR system
(engine braking regulation)
This is an integral part of the ASR system
that, in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts
in to provide torque to the engine, thus
preventing excessive driving wheel drag
that, especially in poor grip conditions, can
lead to loss of stability.
Switching the systemon/off fig. 97
The ASR system switches on automatically
each time the engine is started.
When travelling, the ASR can be switched
off and on again by pressing buttonAlo-
cated on the dashboardfig. 97.If the system is off, the LED on the button
lights up together with a message shown
on the multifunction display (for versions/
markets, where provided).
If the ASR is switched off when travelling,
it will turn on again automatically the next
time the engine is started.
When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the
ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, the
driving wheels skidding when moving off
makes it possible to get better traction.
For the correct operation of
the ESP and ASR systems,
the tyres must be the same make and
type on all wheels, in perfect condi-
tion and, above all, of the type, make
and size recommended.

ASR SYSTEM (Anti-slip Regulator)
This function controls car drive and cuts
in automatically every time one or both
driving wheels skid.
Depending on how skiddy the road is,
two different control systems are acti-
vated:
❒if the skidding involves both drive
wheels, the ASR function intervenes
by reducing the power transmitted by
the engine;
❒if the skidding involves only one dri-
ving wheel, the ASR system cuts in by
automatically braking the wheel that
is sliding.
The ASR system is particularly helpful in
the following circumstances:
❒skidding of the inner wheel when cor-
nering due to the effect of dynamic
load changes or excessive acceleration;
❒too much power transmitted to the
wheels in relation to the conditions of
the road surface;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or
icy surfaces;
❒loss of grip on a wet surface (aqua-
planing).

STEERINGSYSTEM
The car is equipped with an electrically
controlled power steering system called
“Dualdrive”, working only with the igni-
tion key atMARand the engine running,
that customises steering force according
to the driving conditions.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
(CITY function)
To activate/deactivate the function, press
the button on the dashboard.
Activation is indicated by:
❒the wordCITYon the instrument
panel (for versions with multifunction
display);
❒the wordCITYlit up on the button
after it has been pressedfig. 98.When theCITYfunction is on, the steer-
ing wheel effort is lighter, making parking
easier: therefore, this function is particu-
larly useful for driving in city centres.
For the Sport version, this function guar-
antees improved driving comfort because
the accelerator pedal is better calibrated
for gradual acceleration/deceleration.

Do not place a cradle seat
facing backwards on the
front seat if the passenger side airbag
is enabled. Deployment of the airbag
in an accident could cause fatal in-
juries to the baby regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable
to always carry children in dedicat-
ed child seats on the rear seat, which
is the most protected position in the
event of an accident.
WARNING
SERIOUS HAZARD Should
it be absolutely necessary to
carry a child on the front
seat in a backwards-facing
cradle seat, the passenger’s
front and side airbags should
be deactivated through the setup
menu. Deactivation can be verified by
checking the
“warning light on the
instrument panel. Also, the passen-
ger seat should be as far back as pos-
sible to avoid contact between the
child seat and the dashboard.
WARNING

child seat.
WARNING
GROUPS 0 e 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing
backwards
on a cradle seat, which, by supporting the
head, does not induce stress on the neck
in the event of sharp deceleration.
The cradle is held in place by the car seat
belts fig. 8and in turn it must restrain the
child with its own belts.
GROUPS 1
From 9 kg to 18 kg of weight, children may
be carried facing forwards.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is fitted with front airbags for the
driver and the passenger, and with a knee
bag on the driver’s side (for versions/mar -
kets, where provided).
The front driver/passenger airbags and the
driver’s knee bag (for versions/markets,
where provided) have been designed to
protect the occupants of the front seats
in the event of head-on crashes of medi-
um/high severity, by placing the bag be-
tween the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Non-activation in other types of crash
(side-on collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs,
etc.) is therefore not a sign of system mal-
function.
An electronic control unit causes the bag
to inflate in the event of a head-on crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously, placing
itself between the front occupant’s body
and the structures which could cause in-
jury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
The front driver/passenger airbags and the
driver’s knee bag (for versions/markets,
where provided) are not a replacement
for, but rather complement the use of,
seat belts, which should always be worn,
as specified by law in Europe and most
non-European countries.The volume of the front airbags at maxi-
mum inflation fills most of the space
between the steering wheel and the dri-
ver and between the dashboard and the
passenger.
In the event of an impact, someone not
wearing a seat belt will move forward and
come into contact with the bag which is
still in the opening stage. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in such
a case.
Front airbags may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in collisions against highly strainable ob-
jects that do not affect the front surface
of the car (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, piles of gravel etc.);
❒jamming of the car underneath other
vehicles or protective barriers (e.g. un-
derneath a truck or a guard rail); in this
case, the bags would offer no addition-
al protection with respect to the seat
belt and their deployment is unneces-
sary. In these cases, non-deployment of
the airbag does not necessarily indicate
a system malfunction.
Do not apply stickers or oth-
er objects on the steering
wheel, passenger side airbag cover or
upper side upholstery. Do not place
objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger side dashboard because
these could interfere with the correct
opening of the airbag and cause se-
vere injury to occupants.
WARNING
The airbags are not deployed in the event
of minor collisions (for which the with-
holding action of the seat belts is suffi-
cient). For this reason, the seat belt must
be worn at all times. In the case of side-
on collisions, the seat belts hold occupants
in the correct position and prevent them
from being thrown out of the car by a very
violent collision.
