Timer function
The door windows can be opened or
closed for 30 seconds after the engine
is stopped. However, once the driver’s
door or the front passenger’s door is
opened, the windows cannot be
operated.
Safety mechanism (driver’s window
only)
74) 75) 76)
When the door window is automatically
closed by pulling up the switch fully, if a
hand or head is trapped in the closing
window, it will lower automatically.
Nonetheless, make sure that nobody
puts their head or hand out of the
window when closing the driver’s door
window. The lowered window will
become operational after a few
seconds.NOTE The safety mechanism can be
activated if the driving conditions or
other circumstances cause the driver’s
door window to be subjected to a
physical shock similar to that caused by
a trapped hand or head.
NOTE If the safety mechanism is
activated five or more times in a row,
the safety mechanism will be cancelled
and the door window will not close
correctly. In such a case, the following
procedure should be implemented to
rectify this situation. If the window is
open, repeatedly raise the driver’s door
window switch until that window has
been fully closed. Following this, release
the switch, raise the switch once again
and hold it in this condition for at least
1 second, then release it. You should
now be able to operate in the normal
way.
NOTE If the battery terminals are
disconnected or the fuse for electric
window is replaced, the safety
mechanism will be cancelled and the
door window will not automatically
open/close completely. If the window is
open, repeatedly raise the driver’s door
window switch until the window has
been fully closed. Following this, release
the switch, raise the switch once again
and hold it in this condition for at least
1 second, then release it. You should
now be able to operate the driver’s door
window in the normal way.
WARNING
69)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 by being hit.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key from the ignition switch to avoid the
risk of injury to anyone remaining in the car
due to accidental operation of the electric
windows.
70)Before operating the electric window
control, make sure that nothing is capable
of being trapped (head, hand, finger, etc.).
71)Never leave the vehicle without
removing the key. Never leave a child (or
other person who might not be capable of
safe operation of the electric window
control) in the vehicle alone.
72)A child may tamper with the switch at
the risk of its hands or head being trapped
in the window.
73)When driving with a child in the vehicle,
please press the window lock switch to
disable the passenger’s switches.
74)If the battery terminals are
disconnected or the fuse for electric
window is replaced, the safety mechanism
will be cancelled. If a hand or head got
trapped, a serious injury could result.
75)The safety mechanism is cancelled just
before the window is fully closed. This
allows the window to close completely.
Therefore be especially careful that no
fingers are trapped in the window.

TRAILER TOWING
In order to tow a trailer with your
vehicle, when having a trailer towing
device mounted that meets all relevant
regulations in your area, consult a Fiat
Dealership.
Check that your towbar coupling ball
does not obscure your vehicle’s licence
plate when the trailer or caravan is
disconnected. If it obscures the licence
plate, please remove the towbar
coupling ball. And if the towbar
coupling ball is lockable by using a key
or any kind of tools, please remove the
coupling ball and use a towbar coupling
ball which can be removed or
repositioned without the use of a key or
any kind of tools instead.
The regulations concerning the towing
of a trailer may differ from country to
country. You are advised to obey the
regulations in each area.
NOTE If you are going to tow a trailer,
pay careful attention to the following
points.
89)
Maximum towable weight with brake
and maximum trailernose weight
Never exceed the maximum towable
weight with brake and the maximum
trailer-nose weight as listed in the
specifications. (Refer to “Vehicle
weight”.If you tow a trailer at an altitude
of more than 1,000 m above sea-level,reduce your weight by 10 % of the
gross combination weight for every
increase of 1,000 m above sea-level, as
the engine output is lowered owing to
decrease in atmospheric pressure.
