KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT Do not place objects on a
partly closed window: it could damage
the window.
Press functions
Depending on the versions, this mode
is an additional function to the electric
window described earlier. It concerns
only the driver's window. Briefly press
down or lift up switch 1 fig. 107: the
window either lowers or raises
completely. Any further action on the
switch stops the window movement.NOTE If the window encounters any
resistance during closing (for example a
tree branch, etc.) it stops and lowers a
few centimetres again.
Irregular operation
If the window closing fails to function,
the system moves to no pressure
mode: pull the concerned switch up as
much as needed until the window
closes completely (the window goes
back up gradually); then keep the
switch pulled up (always on the closing
side) for a second, then lower it and
raise it back up completely to reinstate
the system.
If necessary, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Rear sliding windows:
57)
Use the handle 4 fig. 108 and run the
window to the desired stop.
WARNING
55)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.
56)When you close the windows, check
that no part of a body (arm, hand, etc.) is
sticking out from the vehicle. Danger of
serious injury.
57)Before manoeuvring it, make sure no
occupant is sticking out of a window or an
open door.

(2): move the front seat as far forward as possible to install the child seat backwards from driving direction, then move it back
to maximum so it does not come into contact with the child seat.
(3): child seat facing forward: position the child seat backrest in contact with the seat backrest. In any case, remove the rear
seat headrest that the child seat is positioned against. This should be done before positioning the child seat (please see the
paragraph "Rear headrest" in chapter "Knowing your vehicle"). Do not move the seat in front of the child back more than half
the distance and do not incline it more than 25°.
WARNING
121)To prevent opening the door from the
inside, use the safety device (refer to the
"Child safety” paragraph in the “Knowing
your vehicle” chapter).
122)A collision at 50 Km/h is the
equivalent of falling 10 meters. Never hold
a child in your arms or on your knees, in
case of an accident you would never be
able to hold him even if you have your seat
bets fastened.
123)Never leave the vehicle unguarded
with the electronic key and a child, a
handicapped person or an animal inside,
even for a short time. This could result in
your own safety or that of others who
could start the engine, setting in motion
equipment such as the electric windows or
even locking the doors. Moreover, in hot
and/or sunny weather, the vehicle's interior
temperature will increase rapidly. Risk of
death or serious injury.124)Never leave a child alone in the
vehicle. Make sure the child always has
his/her seat belt fastened and correctly
adjusted. Avoid too heavy clothing that
causes the belts to be loose. Never allow
the child to put his/her head or arm out the
window. Make sure the child is seated
correctly throughout the trip. especially
when asleep.
125)Make sure the child seat or his/her
feet do not prevent the front seat from
locking into place correctly. Refer to the
"Front seat" paragraph in the "Knowing
your vehicle” chapter. Make sure that the
child seat installed in the vehicle is not at
risk of coming out of its housing. If you
have to remove the head rest, make sure it
is positioned so it is not thrown about in
case of abrupt braking or collision. Always
fasten the child seat even if you are not
using it so it is not thrown about in case of
abrupt braking or collision.
126)RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY: before installing a rear-facing child
restraint system in the front passenger
seat, check that the air bag has been
correctly deactivated (refer to the
"Passenger side airbag and child restraint
systems" paragraph in this chapter).
127)Install the child seat preferably in one
of the rear seats.128)Never install a child seat on the rear
centre seat. RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
129)Do not use child seats that could
unlock the belt holding it in place: the child
seat base must not rest on the seat belt
buckle and/or housing.
130)The seat belt must never be loose or
twisted. Never pass the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your back.
Check that the belt has not been damaged
by sharp edges. If the seat belt is not
working normally, it will not protect the
child. Contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not
use this seat until the belt has been
repaired.
131)Using a child seat inappropriate for
this vehicle will not properly protect the
child. You risk causing him/her serious
injury or death.

accessories turn off.
WARNING
139)Do not start the vehicle on an incline
with the gear in neutral. The power steering
might not activate. Risk of accident.140)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.
141)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.
142)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
143)Do not remove the key from the
starter device or the electronic key from the
reader before effectively stopping the
vehicle; stopping the engine means
deleting various aids: When the engine is
stopped, the power brakes, power steering
and safety devices like the air bags and
pre-tensioners no longer work.
144)Especially when you leave the car
with the electronic key in your pocket,
make sure the engine is effectively
stopped.
IMPORTANT
23)When the engine is stopped, never
leave the ignition device in the "M" position
to prevent useless current absorption from
draining the battery.
24)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
