Front window anti-pinch safety
device
(where provided)
This safety system can recognise the
presence of any obstacle during the
window closing movement. If this
occurs, the system stops the window's
movement and reverts it, depending on
its position. 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.
Front 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 up the
button;
once the window has closed
completely, keep holding the button
down for at least a further 3 seconds;
open the window by holding down
the button;
once the window has opened
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.

2 different positions:
Floor level (low)fig. 48: allows use
of the full luggage compartment
capacity.
Sill level (high)fig. 49: combined
with folding the rear seats and front
passenger seat, it allows long items to
be loaded and also makes
loading/unloading items in the luggage
compartment easier. It also allows the
space underneath (double bottom) to
be used as a further compartment for
stowing objects which are more fragile
or small.
The load platform can also be tilted,
and is equipped with a washable plastic
surface, useful for instance for
transporting wet or muddy items.
IMPORTANT Movements of the load
platform must take place in a central
position relative to the luggage
compartment.

MOVING THE CAR
To move the car, from P press the brake
pedal and, using the button on the gear
lever, move the lever to the desired
position (D, R or "Sequential mode").
The display will show the gear engaged.
When the brake pedal is released, the
car starts moving forwards or
backwards, as soon as the manoeuvre
is activated ("creeping" effect). The
accelerator should not be pressed in
this case.
IMPORTANT The inconsistency
between the speed actually engaged
(shown on the display) and the position
of the gear lever is indicated by the
letter corresponding to the position of
the lever flashing on the trim (also
accompanied by an acoustic signal).
This condition should not be interpreted
as an operational fault, but simply as a
request by the system to repeat the
manoeuvre.
IMPORTANT With the electric parking
brake released and brake pedal
released, engine at idling speed and
gear lever in position D, R or sequential,
pay the utmost care because the car
can move even without the operation of
the accelerator pedal. This condition
can be used with the car on a level
surface during tight parking
manoeuvres using the brake pedal only.GEAR ENGAGEMENT
INHIBITION
This system prevents you from moving
the gear lever from position P (Park) or
N (Neutral) if the brake pedal has not
been previously depressed.
When the ignition device is in MAR
(engine on or off):
to shift the gear to a position
different from P (Park) or from N to R,
you need to press the brake pedal and
the button A fig. 91 on the knob of the
gear lever;
to shift the lever from position N to
position D, press the brake pedal.
In case of a failure or when the vehicle's
battery is flat, the lever remains locked
in position P. To manually unlock the
lever, see paragraph "Automatic
transmission - lever unlocking" in the "In
an emergency" chapter.
VEHICLE SHUTDOWN
Versions equipped with the Keyless
Go system: this function requires the
gear lever to be positioned at P (Park);
then bring the ignition device to STOP.
Versions equipped with key without
remote control: this function requires
the gear lever to be positioned at P
(Park) before extracting the key from the
ignition device.If the vehicle battery is flat and the
ignition key is engaged, the latter is
locked in position. To remove the key
manually see paragraph "Automatic
transmission - key removal" in the
chapter "In an emergency".
"RECOVERY" OPERATION(where provided)
Transmission operation is constantly
monitored to detect any fault. If a
condition that might damage the
transmission is detected, the "recovery"
function is activated.
In this condition, the transmission stays
in 4
thgear, regardless of the selected
gear.
Positions P (Parking), R (Reverse) and N
(Neutral) still work. Icon
might light
up in the display.
In the case of "recovery" operation
immediately contact the nearest Fiat
