The window is therefore lowered by
about 5 cm from its initial stop position.
The window cannot be operated in any
way during this time.
Electric window system
initialisation
If power supply is interrupted, the
electric window automatic operation
must be reinitialised.
The initialisation procedure described
below must be carried out with the
doors closed and for each door:
close the window by holding down
the button;
once the window has closed
completely, keep holding the button
down for at least a further 3 seconds.
WARNING
21) Incorrect use of the electric windows
may be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that nobody is
exposed to the risk of being injured either
directly by the moving window or through
objects getting caught or hit by it. When
leaving the vehicle (equipped with
mechanical key with remote control),
always remove the key from the ignition
device to prevent accidental operation of
the electric windows from being a hazard
for those still on board.
ELECTRIC SUN
ROOF

Operation of the sun roof is only
possible with the ignition device at
MAR.
OPENING
Press button A fig. 40: the roof will
open up completely.
The automatic motion can be

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

SWIVEL OPENING
To bring the roof into "swivel" position,
press and release button B fig. 40.
This type of swivel-opening can be
activated irrespective of the position of
the sun roof. When starting with the
roof in closed position, pressing the
button automatically causes its
swivel-opening. If the roof is already
open, the button must be held until the
roof reaches the swivel-opening
position.
Pressing button B again during
automatic movement of the roof will
stop it.
SUN BLIND MOVEMENT
The blind is manually-operated: it can
be stopped in any position.
ANTI-PINCH DEVICE
The sun roof has an anti-pinch safety
system capable of detecting the
presence of an obstacle during the
closing movement: if this happens, the
system intervenes and the movement of
the roof is immediately reversed into
opening.
EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the control buttons fail to operate, the
sun roof can be moved manually,
proceeding as described below:
remove protective cap A fig. 41 on
the internal trim;
take Allen key B provided;
place Allen key B into housing A;
turn Allen key B in a clockwise
direction to open the roof or in an
anticlockwise direction to close it.
INITIALISATION
PROCEDURE
After irregular behaviour of the sun roof
or an emergency manoeuvre (see
description in the previous paragraph),
the automatic operation of the sun roof
must be initialised again.
Proceed as follows:
press button A fig. 40 to bring the
roof into completely closed position;
bring the ignition device to STOP
and wait at least 10 seconds;
bring the ignition device to MAR;
hold button A down for at least
10 seconds, then you should hear the
mechanical stop of the roof motor;
within 5 seconds hold button A
down: the roof will perform a complete
automatic opening and closing cycle (to
indicate that the initialisation procedure
has been successful). If this does not
occur, the procedure must be restarted
from the beginning.
WARNING
22) When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key (where present) from the
ignition to avoid the risk of injury due to
accidental operation of the sun roof.
Improper use of the roof can be
dangerous. Before and during operation,
always check that no-one is exposed to
the risk of being injured by the moving
sunroof or by objects getting caught or hit
by it.
IMPORTANT
11) Do not open the sun roof if a roof rack
or crossbars are fitted. Do not open the
sun roof if there is snow or ice on it: you
may damage it.

DRIVING
ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
The vehicle can feature the following
driving assistance systems:
BSA (Blind Spot Assist);
FBC (Full Brake Control);
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System).
For the operation of the systems, see
the following pages.
BSA (Blind-Spot Assist)
SYSTEM
The car can be equipped with the BSA
(Blind Spot Assist) system for blind spot
monitoring. The BSA system uses two
radar sensors, located in the rear
bumper (one for each side - see
fig. 60 ), to detect the presence of cars
(cars, trucks, motorbikes, etc.) in the
rear side blind spots of the car. The system warns the driver about the
presence of cars in the detection area
by lighting up, on the relevant side, the
warning light located on the door mirror
fig. 61, along with an acoustic warning.
As soon as the ignition key is in MAR
position, or when the engine is started
(keyless version), the warning light turns
on to signal the driver that the system is
active.Sensors
The sensors are activated when any
forward gear is engaged at a speed
higher than about 10 km/h, or when
reverse is engaged.
The sensors are temporarily deactivated
with car at a standstill and the gear
lever in position P (Park) (versions with
automatic transmission), or with car at a
standstill and electric parking brake
engaged (versions with manual
transmission).
The detection area of the system
covers about a lane on both sides of
the vehicle (around 3 metres).
This area starts from the door mirror
and extends for about 6 metres
towards the rear part of the car.
When the sensors are active the system
monitors the detection areas on both
sides of the car and warns the driver
about the possible presence of cars in
these areas.
While driving the system monitors the
detection area from three different input
points (side, rear and front) to check
whether a warning needs to be sent to
the driver. The system can detect the
presence of a vehicle in one of these
three areas.

SAFETY

Driver knee bag
(where provided)
It is located in a specific compartment
arranged under the dashboard under a
specific cover fig. 89. It provides
additional protection in the event of a
frontal collision.Deactivating passenger front airbag
and seat-mounted side bag for
pelvis, chest and shoulders
protection
If a child must be carried on the front
seat in a rearward facing child restraint
system, deactivate the passenger side
front airbag and front side bag.
To deactivate the airbags use the
display Menu (see the instructions in the
"Display" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
TheOFF
andONLED are
present at the centre of the instrument
panel fig. 90.
Moving the ignition device to MAR
switches on the two LEDs for about
8 seconds. If not, contact a Fiat
Dealership. During the first seconds, the activation
of the LEDs does not actually show the
passenger protection status, but only
checks its correct operation. After a
check lasting a few seconds, the LEDs
will indicate the status of the passenger
airbag protection.
Passenger protection activated: the
LED
ON
turns on fixed.
Passenger protection deactivated:
the
OFF LED switches on with a
steady light.
The LEDs may light up with various
intensity levels depending on the vehicle
conditions. The intensity may vary
during the same key cycle.88F1B0127C

ENGINE STARTING
FAILURE
Starting the engine with electronic
key battery (Keyless Go) run down
or flat
If the ignition device does not respond
when the relevant button is pressed the
electronic key battery might be run
down or flat. Therefore, the system
does not detect the presence of the
electronic key on board the vehicle and
displays a dedicated message. In this
case, rest the rounded edge of the
electronic key (the side opposite the
metal insert) on the ignition device and
press the button using the electronic
key. The ignition device is thus activated
and the engine can be started.
WARNING
106) Do not try to start the engine pouring
fuel or other flammable fluid inside the
throttle body air intake: this might damage
the engine and injury people nearby.
107) It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
108) The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
