S.B.R. SYSTEM
The car is fitted with the S.B.R. system
(Seat Belt Reminder), consisting of a
buzzer which, together with the blinking
of warning light
el, warns the driver to fasten the seat belt.
The buzzer can be deactivated temporar-
ily (until next engine stop) by the follow-
ing procedure, to be carried out within
1 minute from turning the ignition key to
MAR:
❒fasten the driver’s seat belt.
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then re-
lease the driver’s seat belt.
For permanent deactivation, contact Fiat
Dealership.
The S.B.R. system can only be reset
through the set-up menu (see section
“Warning lights and messages” at para-
graph “Seat belts not fastened”).FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT

Four different adjustments in height are
provided.
To adjust, press button A-fig. 5and low-
er or raise the grip B.

in case of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when the
belt passes half way between the end of
the shoulder and the neck.
fig. 5F0C0096m
Make the height adjustment
when the car is stationary.
WARNING
After adjustment, always
check that the slider is an-
chored in one of the positions pro-
vided. To do this, with the button
A-fig. 5 released, exert a further pres-
sure to allow the anchor device to
catch if release did not take place at
one of the preset position.

MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF
PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG
Should it be absolutely necessary to car-
ry a child on the front seat, the passenger’s
front air bag can be deactivated.
Deactivation/reactivation takes place with
ignition key at STOP, and operating it in
the special key switch on the right-hand
side of the dashboard. You can reach the
switch only if the door is opened.
When the door is open, the key can be in-
serted and removed in both positions.
IMPORTANT Operate the switch only
when the engine is not running and the ig-
nition key is removed.The key-operated switch has two posi-
tions fig. 23:
❒Passenger’s front air bag activated (ON
position
P): warning light Fon in-
strument panel off; it is absolutely pro-
hibited to carry a child on the front
seat.
❒Passenger’s front air bag deactivated
(OFF position F): warning light Fon instrument panel on; it is possible to
carry a child protected by special re-
straint system on the front seat.The warning light
Fon the instrument
panel stays on permanently until the pas-
senger’s air bag is reactivated.
Deactivation of the passenger’s front air
bag does not inhibit operation of the side
bag.

SERIOUS DANGER: In pres-
ence of small size occupants
(children, etc.) on the rear

tivate the rear side bags
through the apposite deactivation
switch located in the boot.

Remember that with the key
engaged and at MAR, even
with the engine not running, the air
bags may be triggered on a stationary
car if it is bumped by another moving
car. Therefore, never seat children on
the front seat even when the car is
stationary. On the other hand, re-
member that with the key at STOP
no safety system (air bags or preten-
sioners) is triggered in the event of an
impact; in this case, failure to come
into action cannot be considered as a
sign that the system is not working
properly.
WARNINGGENERAL WARNINGS
If when turning the ignition
key to MAR, the warning
light ¬does not turn on or if it stays
on when travelling (together with the
message on the display) there could
be a failure in safety systems; in this
event air bags or pretensioners could
not trigger in case of impact or, in a
minor number of cases, they could
trigger accidentally. Contact Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the
system checked.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of
front and rear seats with
trims or covers that are not suitable
to be used with side bags.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on
your lap, in front of your
chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. be-
tween your lips; injury may result in
the event of the air bag being trig-
gered.
WARNING
Always keep your hands on
the steering wheel rim when
driving, so that if the air bag is trig-
gered, it can inflate without meeting
any obstacles which could cause seri-
ous harm to you. Do not drive with
the body bent forwards, keep the seat
back rest in the erect position and
lean your back well against it.
WARNING
If the car has been stolen or
an attempt to steal it has
been made, if it has been subjected to
vandals or floods, have the air bag
system checked by Fiat Dealership.

When the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the warning
light
F(with passenger’s front air
bag deactivation switch at ON) turns
on and flashes for few seconds to re-
mind that the passenger’s air bag will
be deployed in a crash, after which
it should go off.
WARNING
When the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the warning
light
À(with the rear side bag de-
activation switch at ON) turns on and
flashes for few seconds to remind that
the rear side bags will be deployed in
a crash, after which it should go off.
WARNING
Do not wash the seat back
rest with pressurised water
or steam (by hand or at automatic
seat washing stations).
WARNING
The front air bag is triggered
for shocks greater in magni-
tude than the pretensioners. For im-
pacts between these two thresholds,
it is therefore normal that only the
pretensioners are triggered.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to
the coat hooks and to the
support handles.
WARNING
The air bag does not substi-
tute the seat belts, but only
increases their effectiveness. More-
over, since the front air bags do not
come into operation in the event of
front impact at low speed, side colli-
sions, bumps from behind or over-
turning, in these circumstances the
occupants would only be protected
by the seat belts which must therefore
always be fastened.
WARNING

ENGINE STARTING
The car is fitted with an electronic engine
lock device: if the engine fails to start, see
the paragraph “The Fiat CODE system” in
section “Dashboard and controls”.
The engine may be noisier than usual dur-
ing the first seconds of operation, espe-
cially after it has not been used for a while.
This characteristic feature of the hydraulic
tappet system does not compromise func-
tionality or reliability. This timing system
for petrol engines was adopted to limit
servicing.
Engine starting is guaranteed up to a min-
imum temperature of -18°C (Italy and
Middle Europe) and -20°C (North Eu-
rope).

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒pull up the handbrake;
❒set the gear lever to neutral;
❒press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVVand let
it go the moment the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to STOP
before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warn-
ing light
Yremains lit together with
warning light U, turn the key to STOP
and then back to MAR; if the warning light
remains on, try with the other keys pro-
vided with the car.
We recommend that during
the initial period you do not
drive to full car performance
(e.g.: excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp brak-
ing, etc.).
Running the engine in con-
fined areas is extremely dan-
gerous. The engine consumes oxygen
and produces carbon monoxide
which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.
WARNING
When the engine is switched
off never leave the ignition key
at MARto prevent pointless
current absorption from drain-
ing the battery.
If you are still unable to start the engine,
perform the emergency start-up proce-
dure (see “Emergency start-up” in section
“In an emergency”) and contact Fiat Deal-
ership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ignition key
at MARwhen the engine is off.
