IMPORTANT The front airbags and/or side bags may
be deployed if the car is subject to heavy knocks or
accidents involving the underbody area, such as for
example violent shocks against steps, kerbs or
obstacles, falling of the car in big holes or sags in the
road.
IMPORTANT When the airbag inflates it emits a small
amount of dusts. These dusts are harmless and is not
the beginning of a fire; then the unfold cushion surface
and the car interiors can be covered by a dusty
remains: this dust can irritate skin and eyes. In case of
contact, wash yourself using neutral soap and water.
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in which any
of the safety devices is activated, take the car to a Fiat
Dealership to have the devices activated replaced and
to have the system checked.All control, check, repair and replacement operations
concerning the airbags must be carried out c/o Fiat
Dealership only.
If you are having the car scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the car
changes ownership, the new owner must be informed
of the method of use of airbags and the above
warnings and also be given this “Owner Handbook”.
IMPORTANT The triggering of pretensioners, front
airbags and side bags is decided in a differentiated
manner by the electronic control unit, depending on
the type of crash. The failure to deploy one or more
of them does not mean that the system is not working
properly.
WARNING
WARNING
Never rest head, arms and elbows on the door, on the windows and in the
windowbag area to prevent possible injuries during the inflation phase. Expiration dates of pyrotechnic charge and coil contact are indicated on the label
inside the lower oddment compartment. As these dates approach, contact Fiat
Dealership to have them replaced.
WARNINGNever lean head, arms and elbows out of window.

For regular operation of Multijet versions with DPF, use only original oil. In an emergency (lacking the original product) only top up with max. 0,5

If using non original SAE 5W-40 products, oils with minimum ACEA A3 specifications for petrol engines and ACEA B4 specifications for Diesel
engines are admitted; in this event top engine performance is not guaranteed.
Use of products with low-quality properties than ACEA A3 and ACEA B4 could cause damages to the engine that are not covered by the war-
