FRONT AIR BAGS
The driver’s front air bag is located behind
the center pad of the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s front air bag is lo-
cated behind the passenger’s side of the
dashboard. The words “SRS AIRBAG” are
molded into the air bag covers to identi-
fy the location of the air bags. If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink when the ignition
switch is first turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, or the “AIR BAG” light stays on, or
comes on while driving, the air bag system
(or the seat belt pretensioner system (if
equipped)) may not work properly. Have
the air bag system inspected by an autho-
rized Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

with proper air bag inflation and al-
so cause serious injury.

ROOF RAILS OR ROOF
RACK ANCHORS
(if equipped)
You can use the roof rails to attach the
optional roof rack which is available at
your Fiat Dealership. If you use a roof
rack, observe the instructions and pre-
cautions in this section and provided with
the roof rack.
❒Make sure the roof rack is securely in-
stalled.
❒To mount various types of cargo (such
as skis, bicycles, etc.) properly, use suit-
able attachments which are available
from your Fiat Dealership. Be sure to
install the attachments properly and se-
curely according to the instructions
provided. Do not mount cargo direct-
ly on the roof panel. The cargo can
damage the roof panel.
❒The gross weight of the roof rack plus
cargo must not exceed the loading ca-
pacity (50 kg -110 lbs). Also, do not let
the gross vehicle weight (fully loaded
vehicle including driver, passengers, car-
go, roof load and trailer tongue weight)
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing (GVWR) listed in the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section of this manual.

❒Mount and secure the cargo onto the
roof rack properly according to the in-
structions provided. Be sure to stow
the heaviest items at the bottom and
distribute the cargo as evenly as possi-
ble.
❒Do not carry items so large that they
hang over the bumpers or the sides of
the vehicle, or block your view.
❒Secure the front and rear ends of long
items – such as wood panels, surf-
boards and so forth – to both the front
and rear of the vehicle. You should pro-
tect the painted surfaces of the vehi-
cle from scuffing caused by tie-down
ropes.
❒Check periodically to make sure the
roof rack is securely installed and free
from damage.
❒For vehicles with roof rack anchors,
make sure the anchors are covered
with the caps when not in use.

Abrupt maneuvers or failure
to properly secure cargo can
allow the cargo to fly off the vehicle
and hit others, causing personal in-
jury or property damage.
Mount cargo securely and avoid
abrupt maneuvers such as “jackrab-
bit” starts, sharp turns, fast cornering
and sudden braking. Check periodi-
cally to make sure that cargo is se-
curely fastened.
Large, bulky, long, or flat items can
affect vehicle aerodynamics or be
caught by the wind, and can reduce
vehicle control resulting in an acci-
dent and personal injury. Drive cau-
tiously at reduced speed when carry-
ing this type of cargo.
