DANGER: Do not put cradle seats facing
backwards on the front seat if the front
passenger airbag is enabled. Deployment
of the airbag in an accident could cause
fatal injuries to the child. It is advisable to
carry children on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an accident.
Child seats must not be fitted on the front seat
of vehicles with a passenger airbag; their deploy-
ment in an accident, however serious, could cause
fatal injuries to the child. If necessary, children can
travel in the front seat, if the front passenger
airbag can be disabled. In this case, check that the
airbag is actually deactivated by making sure the
“warning light appears on the instrument pan-
el (see “Front passenger airbag” in the “Front
airbags” section). Also, the passenger seat should
be as far back as possible to avoid contact be-
tween the child seat and the dashboard.
WARNINGOver 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint
systems, children are considered as adults and wear seat
belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat has child seats for each weight group.
These devices are recommended, having been specifically
designed for Fiat vehicles.

FRONT 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 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 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-Eu-
ropean 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 compared
with seat belts, so their activation would not be worth-
while. 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 dri-
ver and between the dashboard and the passenger.

The airbags are not deployed in the event of small head-
on collisions (for which the withholding action of the seat
belts is sufficient). Seat belts must always be worn. In the
event of head-on collisions, they ensure the correct po-
sitioning of the occupant.
FRONT AIRBAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 123
This consists of an instant-inflating bag contained in a spe-
cial compartment in the centre of the steering wheel.
FRONT AIRBAG ON PASSENGER’S SIDE
fig. 124 (for versions/markets where provided)
This consists of an instant-inflating bag contained in a spe-
cial compartment in the dashboard: this bag has a larger
volume than that of the driver’s.
Do not put cradle seats facing backwards
on the front seat if the passenger airbag
is activated. Deployment of the airbag in
an accident could cause fatal injuries to
the child. Always deactivate the passen-
ger airbag when placing a child seat on the front
seat. Also, the passenger seat should be as far back
as possible to avoid contact between the child seat
and the dashboard. Although this is not manda-
tory by law, the airbag should be immediately re-
activated when children are no longer carried to
ensure better protection for adults.

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is on;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒fully depress the clutch pedal without touching the ac-
celerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV and let it go the moment
the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, the instrument panel
warning light
Yremains on together with warning light
U, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the
warning light remains on, try the other keys provided with
the vehicle. If you still cannot start the engine, perform
an emergency start (see “Emergency starting” in the “In
an emergency” section) and go to a Fiat Dealership.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The vehicle is fitted with an immobiliser: if the engine fails
to start, see the paragraph on “The Fiat CODE system” in
the “Dashboard and controls” section.
The engine may be noisier during the first few seconds of
operation, particularly after a long period of inactivity. This
is due to the hydraulic tappets, the timing system chosen
for petrol engine versions to reduce the number of ser-
vicing interventions, and affects neither functionality nor
reliability.
STARTING AND DRIVING
It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g. exces-
sive acceleration, long distances at high
speeds, excessive intense braking, etc.) during the
initial period of use.
To avoid draining the battery, do not leave
the ignition key in the MAR position when
the engine is off.
It is dangerous to run the engine in closed
environments. The engine takes in oxygen
and discharges carbon dioxide, carbon monox-
ide and other toxic gases.
