Fiat 500

Electric Windows

Electric windows operate with the ignition device at MAR and for about 3 minutes after the ignition device switches to STOP (or key removed). When one of the front doors is opened, this operation is disabled.

Driver Side Front Door Controls

All windows can be controlled from the driver side door panel fig. 35.

  • A: front left window opening/closing. "Continuous automatic" operation during window opening/closing stage and anti-pinch system activated.
  • B: right front window opening/closing. "Continuous automatic" operation during window opening/closing stage and anti-pinch system activated (if present);
  • C: enabling/disabling of rear door electric window controls;
  • D: left rear window opening/closing (if present). "Automatic continuous" operation, only while opening;
  • E: right rear window opening/closing (if present). "Automatic continuous" operation, only while opening.

Window Opening

Push the buttons to open the desired window fig. 36.

When any of the buttons on front or rear doors is pressed briefly, the window moves in stages; if the button is held down, "continuous automatic" operation is activated. If the button is pressed again, the window will stop in the desired position.

Window Closing

Lift the buttons to close the desired window fig. 37.

When any of the buttons on front or rear doors is pressed briefly, the window moves in stages; "continuous automatic" operation is possible only for the windows of the front doors. The rear door windows can only be closed in stages.

Front Window Anti-Pinch Safety Device (where provided)

This safety system can recognize 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 then lowers by about 5 cm in relation to the first 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 reinitialized. The initialization procedure described below must be carried out with the doors closed and for each door:

  • Close the window by keeping the button pressed;
  • Once the window is completely closed, keep the button pressed for at least 3 seconds.

Warning

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 (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.
