When leaving the car, always 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 and during operation, always
check that no-one is at risk of being injured by
the moving sunroof or by objects getting caught
or hit by it.
WARNING
If a transverse roof rack is fitted, the
sunroof should be used in the “spoiler”
position only.
Do not open the sunroof when there is
snow or ice as it could get damaged.
ANTI-PINCH SAFETY DEVICE
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system capable of
detecting the presence of an obstacle whilst the roof is
closing; when this happens, the system stops and the
movement of the glass is immediately reversed.

BOOT
OPENING THE BOOT
The boot can be opened by pressing button A-fig. 72.
It can also be opened by pressing button Ron the
remote control fig. 73.
The direction indicators will blink twice when the
tailgate is opened using the remote control.
When using the boot, never exceed the
maximum admissible loads (see the
“Technical specifications” section). Make sure
that the objects are well arranged in the boot so
that they will not be projected forwards
following sudden braking, causing injury to
passengers.
WARNING
Putting additional objects onto the parcel
shelf or rear door (speakers, spoiler, etc.),
except when approved by the
manufacturer, can affect the correct operation of
the side gas shock absorbers of the rear door
itself.

SATELLITE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
CAPABILITY
(for versions/markets where available)
On cars equipped with the Blue&Me™system, there
may be (on request) a setup for installing the
Blue&Me™TomTom
®satellite navigation system, which
is available from Lineaccessori Abarth.
Install the navigation system by inserting the specific
support bracket into the housing shown in fig. 104.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electrical supply
(sound system, satellite antitheft system, etc.) or
accessories that in any case burden the electric supply,
contact an Abarth Dealership, whose qualified personnel,
besides suggesting the most suitable devices belonging to
Lineaccessori Abarth, will also evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the car’s electric
system is able to withstand the load required, or
whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful
battery.
Take care when fitting additional spoilers,
alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs:
they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes
and affect efficiency during sharp, repeated
braking or on long descents. Make sure that
nothing obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.)

LOW ENGINE OIL PRESSURE (red)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR, the
warning light switches on, and should go out
as soon as the engine is started.
The warning light switches on constantly together with
the message in the display when the system detects that
the engine oil pressure is insufficient.
v
If the warning light vturns on when
travelling (with the message on the
display) stop the car immediately and contact
an Abarth Dealership.
WARNING
EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
In normal conditions, when the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning light turns on and
should go off after engine start-up. The initial switching-
on indicates that the warning light is working properly.
If the warning light stays on or turns on when travelling:
❒on permanently: this means there is a fault in the
supply/ignition system which could cause high
exhaust emissions, loss of performance, poor
handling and high fuel consumption levels.
The display shows the dedicated message.
Under these conditions, you may continue travelling at a
moderate speed without demanding excessive effort
from the engine. Prolonged use of the car with the
warning light on may cause damage. Contact an Abarth
Dealership as soon as possible.
The warning light switches off if the failure disappears,
but it is still stored by the system.
❒flashing: this indicates possible damage to the
catalytic converter (see “EOBD system” in the
“Knowing your car” section).
