Do not place a cradle seat facing
backwards on the front seat if the
passenger side airbag is on. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the baby regardless of the severity of the
collision. It is advisable to always carry children
in dedicated child seats on the rear seat, which
is the most protected position in the event of an
accident.
WARNING
WARNING Should it be absolutely
necessary to carry a child on the front
seat in a backwards-facing child seat, the
passenger’s front and side airbags should
be deactivated through the setup menu.
Deactivation can be verified by checking the “
warning light on the instrument panel. Move the
passenger’s seat as far back as possible to avoid
contact between the child seat and the dashboard.
WARNING
The figures are only examples for fitting
purposes. Fit the child seat according to
the instructions mandatorily supplied with the
seat.
WARNING
There are seats with Isofix attachments
which enable secure fastening to the
seat without using the vehicle’s seat belts.

Front airbags may not be activated in the following
situations:
❒in collisions against highly deformable objects that do
not affect the front surface of the car (e.g. bumper
collision against guard rail, piles of gravel etc.);
❒jamming of the car underneath other vehicles or
protective barriers (e.g. underneath a truck or a
guard rail); in this case, the bags would offer no
additional protection with respect to the seat belt
and their deployment is unnecessary. Therefore,
failure to activate in the above circumstances does
not mean that the system is not working properly.FRONT AIR BAGS
The car is fitted with front air bags for the driver and
the passenger, and with a knee bag on the driver’s side.
The front driver / passenger airbags and the driver’s
knee bag have been designed to protect the occupants
in the event of head-on crashes of medium/high severity,
by placing a cushion between the occupant 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 system malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the bag inflate in
the event of a frontal impact. The bag will inflate
instantaneously placing itself between the front
occupants body and the structures which could cause
injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
The front driver/passenger airbags and the driver’s knee
bag are not a replacement for, but rather complement,
the use of belts, which should always be worn, as
specified by law in Europe and most non-European
countries.
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.
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 cushion is reduced in such a case.

Do not apply stickers or other objects on
the steering wheel, passenger side airbag
cover or upper side upholstery. Do not place
objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger
side dashboard because these could interfere
with the correct opening of the airbag and
cause severe injury to occupants.
WARNING
The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor
collisions (for which the withholding action of the seat
belts is sufficient). For this reason, the seat belt must be
worn at all times. In the case of side collisions, the seat
belts hold occupants in the correct position and prevent
them being thrown out of the car by a very violent
collision.
