GENERAL WARNINGS If you are having the vehicle scrapped, have the system
deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the vehicle
changes ownership, the new owner must be informed of
how to use the air bags and the above warnings and also
be given this “Owner Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags and front side
bags are deployed according to different logics on the
basic of the type of collision. Non-deployment of one of
the devices does not necessarily indicate a system
malfunction.
Never rest head, arms or elbows on the
door, on the windows or in the window
bag deployment area to prevent possible
injuries during the inflation phase.
WARNING
Never lean head, arms or elbows out of
window.
WARNING
If when turning the key to MAR-ON the
warning light
¬does not turn on or if it
stays on when travelling (together with the
message on the multifunction display,
for
versions/markets, where provided
) there could be
a failure in the safety systems; in this event air
bags or pretensioners may fail to trigger in the
event of impact or, in a lower number of cases,
they could trigger accidentally. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked before driving off.
WARNING
Do not cover the front and rear seat
backrest with upholstery or seat covers
that hinder deployment of the side bag.
WARNING
Do not travel with objects in your lap,
in front of your chest, or with pipes,
pencils, etc. between your lips. In the event of
crash with airbag activation, you may be
seriously injured.

INDEX
With ignition key inserted, on MAR-ON,
even if the engine is off, the air bags can
activate even with the vehicle stopped, if it is hit
by another vehicle. For this reason, children
must never sit on the front seat, even if the
vehicle is not moving. On the other hand,
whenever the key is positioned on STOP,
the safety devices (airbags or pretensioners)
do not deploy after a collision. In this case
non-deployment of these devices does not
indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
If the vehicle has been subject to theft
or a theft attempt or if it has been
affected by vandalism, flooding or inundation,
have the air bag system checked at a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
Turning the ignition key to MAR-ON, the
warning light F(airbag on passenger’s
side enabled) goes on and flashes for a few
seconds, thus reminding the passenger that the
airbag on his/her side will deploy in the event of
a collision. After this time, the light goes off.
WARNING
Do not wash the car seats with water or
pressurised steam (either by hand or at
automatic washing stations).
WARNING
The front airbag is deployed in the event
of collisions with a more severe nature
than those required to activate the
pretensioners. For collisions in the range
between the two activation thresholds, the fact
that only the pretensioners activate is normal.
WARNING
Always drive keeping your hands on the
rim of the steering wheel so that, in the
event of airbag activation, it can inflate without
meeting obstacles. Do not drive with your body
bent forward. Keep the backrest in an upright
position, resting your back on it firmly.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to clothes
hangers or to the support handles.
The air bag does not replace seat belts but
increases their efficiency. Furthermore, since
front air bags are not deployed in low speed
collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts or roll-
overs, the passengers are only protected by the
seat belts which must be fastened at all times.

AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
When the key is turned to the MAR-ON
position the warning light comes on but should
go out after a few seconds.
The warning light stays on constantly if there is a failure
in the air bag system.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.
¬
If when turning the key to MAR-ON
the warning light ¬does not turn on
or if it stays on when travelling, there could be
a failure in the safety systems; in this event air
bags or pretensioners may not be deployed in
the event of impact or, in a lower number of
cases, they deploy accidentally. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
WARNING
HOT ENGINE COOLANT (red)
When the key is turned to the MAR-ON
position the warning light comes on but should
go out after a few seconds.
The warning light turns on when the engine is
overheated.
ç
If the warning light comes on, proceed as follows:
❒when driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off
the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is not, wait
for a few minutes for the engine to cool down then
slowly and carefully open the cap, top up with
coolant and check that the level is between the MIN
and MAX marks. Also check for any fluid leaks.
If, when restarting, the warning light should come on
again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
❒heavy duty use of vehicle (e.g.: towing trailer uphill
or fully laden car): decrease speed and if the warning
light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or
3 minutes with the engine running and slightly
accelerated to further accelerate the coolant
circulation. Then stop the engine. Check the correct
liquid level as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to
keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a few
minutes before switching it off.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.
