AIR BAGThe car is fitted with front air bags (for versions/markets
where provided) for the driver and the passenger and front
side bags (side bag – window bag).
FRONT AIR BAGS
The front driver/passenger air bags have been designed to
protect the occupants in the event of head-on crashes of
medium-high severity, by placing the cushion between the
occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect car’s passengers in
head-on crashes and therefore non-activation in other
types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs,
etc.) is not a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the bag inflate in the
event of a front crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself between
the front passengers’ body and the structures which could
cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags are not a replacement
of but complementary to the seat belts, which should al-
ways be worn, as specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat belt will
move forward and come into contact with the bag which
is still inflating. The protection offered by the air bag cush-
ion is reduced in such a case.Front air bags may not be activated in the following situ-
ations:
❒
in collisions against highly deformable objects not af-
fecting the car front surface (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, etc.);
❒
car wedging under other vehicles or protective barri-
ers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they could not provide any additional protection compared
with seat belts, so their activation would be improper.
Therefore, failure to come into action in the above cir-
cumstances does not mean that the system is not work-
ing properly.
Do not apply stickers or other objects to
the steering wheel, to the passenger’s side
air bag cover side or on the side roof lining. Nev-
er put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the pas-
senger’s side dashboard since they could interfere
with proper air bag inflation and also cause seri-
ous injury to the passengers.

DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 111
It consists of an instant inflating bag contained in a special
recess in the centre of the steering wheel.
PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 112
This consists of an instant inflating bag contained in a spe-
cial recess in the dashboard: this bag has a larger volume
than that of the driver’s. The driver’s and passenger’s front air bags have been de-
signed and calibrated to protect front seat occupants wear-
ing seat belts.
At their maximum inflation, their volume fills most of
the space between the steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor front
collisions (for which the withholding action of the seat belts
is sufficient). Safety belts must always be worn. In the event
of front crash they guarantee correct positioning of
the passenger.

IMPORTANT Only operate the switch with the engine off
and the ignition key removed.
The key-operated switch has two positions, fig. 113:❒

forbidden to carry a child on the front seat.
❒

carried on the front seat.
The warning

light on the instrument panel remains
on constantly until the passenger’s air bag is reactivated.
Deactivation of the passenger’s front air bag does not in-
hibit operation of the side air bag.
SERIOUS DANGER: never place cradle
child seats facing backwards on the front
passenger’s seat of cars fitted with pas-
senger’s air bag. Deployment of the airbag
in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the baby. Always deactivate the passenger air
bag when placing a child seat on the front seat.
Move the passenger’s seat as far back as possi-
ble to avoid contact between the child seat and
the dashboard. Although this is not mandatory by
law, the air bag should be immediately reactivat-
ed when children are no longer carried to ensure
better protection for adults.
WARNING
MANUALLY DEACTIVATING
THE PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat, the passenger’s front air bag on the car can be
deactivated.
Deactivation/reactivation takes place with ignition key at
STOP and operating it in the special key switch in the glove
compartment.
The key can be fitted and removed in both positions.

At the end of the procedure❒
stow the space-saving wheel D-fig. 122 in the space pro-
vided in the boot;
❒
fit the partially-open jack in its box C by forcing it slight-
ly to prevent it from vibrating when travelling;
❒
put the tools back into their locations;
❒
arrange the container and tools in the spare wheel and
secure the clamping device B;
❒
correctly reposition the boot stiff cover.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with tubeless tyres.
Check the inflation pressure of the tyres and the space-
saving wheel regularly.
IMPORTANT You will need to change the set of bolts if
you want to change the type of wheels fitted (alloy rims
instead of steel rims, and vice versa).The whole set of fas-
tening bolts must be replaced by another set of suitably
sized bolts and use a special space-saving wheel having dif-
ferent building characteristics.
You should keep the bolts and space-saving wheel in case
you decide to use the original type of wheel later on.

Refer to the tables on the following pages to identify the
protection fuse.
If a general fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-
FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) cuts in, do not at-
tempt any repair and contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Before replacing a fuse, make sure the ig-
nition key has been removed and that all
the other services are switched off and/or
disengaged.If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other recovered material.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with another of high-
er power: FIRE HAZARD.
WARNING
REPLACING FUSESGENERAL FEATURES fig. 165
Fuses protect the electric system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a failure or improper action on the
system.
When a device does not work, check the efficiency of its
fuse: the filament A must be intact. If it is, replace the blown
fuse with another with the same amperage (same colour).
B undamaged fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.
To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pliers D hooked
to the fuse-box on the dashboard left-hand side.
