IMPORTANT In the event of side crash, you can obtain
the best protection by the system keeping a correct po-
sition on the seat, allowing thus a correct window bag
deployment.
IMPORTANT The front air bags and/or side bags may be de-
ployed if the car is subject to heavy collisions or accidents
involving the underbody area, such as for example violent
shocks against steps, kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the car
in big holes or sags in the road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will be released
when the air bags are deployed. The dust is harmless
and does not indicate the beginning of a fire. Furthermore,
the surface of the deployed bag and the interior of the
car may be covered with residual dust. This dust can irri-
tate skin and eyes.
SIDE AIRBAGS
(Side bag – Front Window bag)SIDE BAG fig. 114
It consists of an instant inflation bag housed in the back-
rest of the front seat and increases protection of the pas-
sengers’ chest in the event of a side crash of medium-high
severity.WINDOW BAG fig. 115The two “curtain” window bags are located behind the
side roof upholstery and are covered by special trimming.
They were designed to protect the head of front and rear
passengers in case of side collisions, thanks to the wide
cushion inflation surface.

INTERIORSRegularly check that water is not trapped under the mats
(due to water dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.), as this
would cause oxidation of the sheet metal.
Never use flammable products, such as
petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the
car inside. The electrostatic charges which are
generated by rubbing during the cleaning opera-
tion may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol bottles in the vehicle:
risk of bursting. Aerosol bottles must not
be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50 °C.
When the car is exposed to sunlight, inner tem-
perature can greatly exceed this value.
WARNING
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution of
water and neutral detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with a moist cloth and
a solution of water and mild soap. Use specific products
for cleaning plastic, without solvents and specifically de-
signed to prevent damage to the appearance and colour
of the treated parts to remove grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petroleum to clean
the instrument panel.
CLEANING SEAT PROTECTORS
In order to clean/remove stains from the
seat protectors, it is not advisable to use
alcohol or alcohol based products (e.g. solvents).
