Manual deactivation
The passenger side airbag can be de-
activated if it is absolutely necessary to
carry a child in the front passenger
seat.
Deactivation / reactivation shall be
carried out with ignition device at
STOP. Turn the specific switch fig.
142on the dashboard on passenger
side with the ignition key.IMPORTANTOperate the switch
only with engine off and ignition key
removed.
The switch fig. 142has two posi-
tions:
– Passenger front airbag on: (position
ON P): instrument panel warning
light
Foff. Do not carry children on
the front seat.
– Passenger front airbag off: (position
OFF F): instrument panel warning
light Fon. A child can be carried on
the front seat with a suitable restraint
system.
Warning light Fon the cluster
stays on permanently until the pas-
senger’s airbag is reactivated.
Deactivation of the passenger’s front
air bag does not inhibit operation of
the side air bag.SERIOUS DANGER:
With passenger’s
air bag active (ON),
never place child’s seats with the
cradle facing backwards since the
air bag activation could cause to
the child serious injuries, even
mortal. In the case of need, al-
ways deactivate the passenger’s
air bag when a child’s seat is
placed on the front seat. The
front passenger’s seat shall be ad-
justed in the most backward po-
sition to prevent any contact be-
tween child’s seat and dashboard.
Even if not compulsory by law,
you are recommended to reac-
tivate the air bag immediately as
soon as child transport is no
longer necessary.

96GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
The correct operation of
front airbags, side airbags
and pretensioners is en-
sured only if the vehicle is not
overloaded.
Do not wash the seat
back in vehicles with side
airbags with pressurised
steam or water in automatic seat
washing stations.
The airbag does not re-
place seat belts but rather
increases their effective-
ness. Furthermore, the airbag is
not fired in the event of low
speed front collisions, side colli-
sions, rear-end shunts and roll-
overs. In these cases, the passen-
gers are only protected by the
seat belts which for this reason
must always be fastened.
Always drive with both
hands on the rim of the
steering wheel so that the
airbag is free to inflate during a
head-on collision, and protect
you from serious injury. Do not
drive with your body bending to-
wards the steering wheel, but sit
in an upright position with your
back resting against the seat.
Do not cover the back-
rest of front seats with
trims or covers that are
not suitable to be used with side
bags.
It is important to re-
member that the airbag
can be fired if the ignition
key is fitted and at MAR also if
the engine is not running and the
vehicle it is hit by another vehicle
travelling at suitable speed. As a
consequence, Fiat recommends
sitting children in their specific
restraint systems on the back
seat, which is the most protected
position possible. On the con-
trary, the airbags will not be fired
if the vehicle is crashed into when
the key is not inserted or turned.
Consequently, in this case, the
fact that the system is not fired
does not indicate a fault.

108DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
IMPORTANTAfter a taxing drive
you should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by let-
ting it idle to allow the temperature in
the engine compartment to fall.
PARKING
Switch off the engine, pull up the
handbrake and engage a gear (1st gear
or reverse, according to whether the
vehicle is facing up or downhill) and
leave the wheels turned. If the vehi-
cle is left on a steep slope, wedges or
a rock should be used to lock the
wheels.
Do not leave the ignition key at
MARto prevent draining the battery.
Always remove the key when you
leave the vehicle.HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located be-
tween the two front seats.
Pull the handbrake lever upwards un-
til the vehicle cannot be moved. Four
or five clicks are generally enough
when the vehicle is on level ground
while nine or ten may be required if
the vehicle is on a steep slope or laden.
IMPORTANTIf this is not the
case, take the vehicle to a Fiat Deal-
ership to have the handbrake adjust-
ed.
Instrument panel warning light x
will come on when the handbrake
lever is pulled up and the ignition key
is at MAR.
To release the handbrake:
1)Slightly lift the handbrake and
press release button A-fig.1.
2)Keep the button pressed in and
lower the lever. Warning light xwill
go out.
3)Press the brake pedal when car-
rying out this operation to prevent the
vehicle moving accidentally. STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the key to STOPwhile the
engine is idling.
A quick burst on the ac-
celerator before turning
off the engine serves ab-
solutely no practical purpose and
wastes fuel.
Never leave children un-
supervised in the vehicle.

173VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
CLEANING SEATS
AND FABRICS
– Remove dust with a soft brush and
vacuum cleaner.
– Brush the seats with a damp
sponge with water and a neutral soap.
PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE THE
VEHICLE
Use appropriate products designed
to preserve the appearance of com-
ponents.
IMPORTANTDo not use alcohol
or petrol to clean the instrument pan-
el.
Do not keep aerosol
cans in the vehicle. There
is the risk they might ex-
plode. Aerosol cans must never
be exposed to a temperature
above 50°C; when the weather
starts to get hot the temperature
inside the vehicle might go well
beyond that figure. INTERIORS
From time to time check that water
has not collected under the mats
(from dripping shoes, umbrellas etc.)
which could cause the steel to rust.
Never use inflammable
products such as petrole-
um ether or petrol to
clean inside the vehicle. The elec-
trostatic charges that are gener-
ated while rubbing to clean could
become a fire risk.
STEERING WHEEL / GEAR
LEVER KNOB WITH
GENUINE LEATHER
COVERING
These components shall only be
cleaned with water and neutral soap.
Never use spirit or alcohol-based
products.
Before using special products for
cleaning interiors, read carefully label
instructions and indications to make
sure they are free from spirit and/or
alcohol-based substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen with
special glass products, some drops fall
on the leather covering of the steer-
ing wheel/gear lever knob remove
them immediately and then clean with
water and neutral soap.
IMPORTANTTake the utmost
care when engaging the steering lock
to prevent scratching the leather cov-
ering.
