INDEXFRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front airbags for the driver and,
for versions/markets where provided, front airbags for
the passenger.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags (for versions/markets
where provided) have been designed to protect the front-
seat occupants in the event of head-on crashes of medi-
um-high severity, by placing the bag between the occu-
pant and the steering wheel or dashboard.
Non-activation in other types of crash (side-on collisions,
rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is therefore not a sign of sys-
tem malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate, if nec-
essary, in the event of a head-on crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously, placing itself between
the front occupant’s body and the structures which could
cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
Front driver/passenger airbags (for versions/markets
where provided) are not a replacement for, but rather
a complement to, the seat belts, which should be worn
at all times as specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a seat
belt could move forward and come into contact with a bag
which is still in the opening phase. The protection offered
by the bag is reduced in such a case. The front airbags may not be activated in the following
situations:❒head-on impacts against highly deformable objects that
do not affect the vehicle’s front surface (e.g. front wing
hitting the guard rail);
❒car getting wedged under other vehicles or protective
barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they could not provide any additional protection com-
pared with seat belts, so their activation would not be
worthwhile. In these cases, non-deployment of the airbag
does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.
Do not apply stickers or other objects to
the steering wheel, the dashboard in the
passenger side airbag area and the seats. Do not
place objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passen-
ger side dashboard because these could interfere
with the correct opening of the airbag and cause
severe injury to occupants.
WARNING
The front driver and passenger airbags are designed and
calibrated to best protect front-seat passengers wearing
seat belts.
The volume of the front airbags at maximum inflation fills
most of the space between the steering wheel and the
driver and between the dashboard and the passenger.

INDEXAIRBAG FAILURE (red)
Turning the key to the MAR position illuminates
the warning light, but it will switch off after a few
seconds. The warning light stays on constantly if
there is a failure in the airbag system. A specific message
is displayed on certain versions.
¬
If the warning light ¬does not come on
when turning the key to MAR or stays on
during car travel, a failure may be present in the
restraint systems. If this is the case, the airbags
or pretensioners may not be deployed after an
impact or, less likely, they may be deployed ac-
cidentally. Before continuing your journey, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked
immediately.
WARNING
The failure of warning light ¬is indicat-
ed by warning light
“flashing for longer
than the usual four seconds, thus signalling that
the front passenger airbag is deactivated. In ad-
dition, the airbag system automatically disables
the airbags on the passenger’s side (both front
and side airbags where provided). In this case,
warning light ¬may not be indicating that there
is a fault in the restraint systems. Before driving
off, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system
checked immediately.
WARNING
PASSENGER/SIDE AIRBAGS
DEACTIVATED
(amber)
The warning light
“comes on when the front
passenger airbag and the side bag (for versions/markets
where provided) are disabled. With the front passenger
airbags enabled, when the ignition key is turned to MAR
the
“warning light comes on steadily for about four sec-
onds, flashes for another four seconds and then should
go out.
“
Failure of the warning light “is indicat-
ed by warning light
¬coming on. In ad-
dition, the airbag system automatically disables
the airbags on the passenger’s side (both front
and side airbags where provided). Before driving
