NoteThe “Scheduled Servicing Plan” requires the
vehicle to be serviced every 30,000 km (or 18,000
mi). This indication will appear automatically, with
the key at MAR, starting from 2,000 km (or 1,240
mi) and will be displayed every 200 km (or 124 mi).
Below 200 km the signals become more frequent.
The display will be in km or miles according to
the unit of measurement set. When the next service
is close, when the ignition is turned ON the word
"Service" appears in the display followed by the

FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front airbags for driver and
passenger (for versions/markets where provided).
The front driver/passenger airbags (for versions/
markets, where provided) are designed to protect
the front-seat occupants in the event of head-on
crashes of medium-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 system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate, if
necessary, 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-European countries.
In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a
seat belt will move forward and come into contact
with the bag which is still opening. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in such a case.
Front airbags may not be activated in the following
situations:❒head-on impacts against highly deformable objects
that do not affect the front surface of the vehicle
(e.g. front wing hitting a guard rail);
❒vehicle 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 worthwhile. In these cases, non-deployment
of the airbag does not necessarily indicate a system
malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects to
t
he steering wheel, the dashboard in
the passenger side airbag area and the seats.
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 injur y to occupants.
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 driver 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 positioning of the occupant.
FRONT AIRBAG DRIVER'S SIDE
This consists of an instant-inflating bag contained in a
special compartment in the centre of the steering
wheel fig. 109.
FRONT AIRBAG PASSENGER'S SIDE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in
a special compartment in the dashboard: this bag
has a larger volume than the driver's.fig. 110WARNING
SEVERE DANGER: Do not put cradle
seat
s 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. Always
deactivate the passenger 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 mandatory by
law, the airbag should be immediately
reactivated when children are no longer carried
to ensure better protection for adults.

MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF
PASSENGER'S FRONT AIRBAG AND SIDE
BAG
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Whenever a child needs to be carried on the front
seat, the passenger's front airbag and side bags
(for versions/markets where provided) can be
deactivated.
The warning light
on the instrument panel stays
on until the passenger's front airbag and side bags
(for versions/markets where provided) are
reactivated.
IMPORTANT Refer to "Digital display" and
“Multifunction display” in the “Know your vehicle”
section to manually deactivate the passenger's front
airbag and side bags (for versions/markets, where
provided).
SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, the vehicle may be fitted with
driver and passenger's front side bags.
Side bags protect occupants from side-on crashes of
medium/high severity by placing the bag between
the occupant and the internal parts of the side
structure of the vehicle.
Non-activation of side bags in other types of
collisions (head-on collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs,
etc...) is not an indication of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate
in the event of a side-on collision. The bags inflate
instantaneously, placing themselves between the
occupant's body and the structures which could
cause injury. They deflate immediately afterwards.
Side bags are not a replacement of, but rather a
complement to, seat belts, which you are
recommended to wear at all times, as specified by
law in Europe and most non-European countries.
For this reason, the seat belt must be worn at all
times. In the case of side-on collisions, the seat belts
hold occupants in the correct position and prevent
them from being thrown out of the car by a very
violent collision.

SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This consists of an instant inflating bag housed in the
front seat backrest fig. 111. It protects the chest
and the pelvis of the passengers in the event of a side
impact of medium-high severity.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side crash, the system
provides best protection if the passenger sits on
the seat in a correct position, thus allowing correct
side bag deployment.
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at automatic
seat washing stations).
GENERAL WARNINGS
The front airbags and/or side bags (for versions/
markets, where provided) may be deployed if the
vehicle is subject to heavy knocks or accidentsinvolving the underbody area, such as for example
violent shocks against steps, kerbs or low obstacles,
or the vehicle falling into big potholes or depressions
in the road.
A small amount of dust will be released when the
airbags are deployed. The dust is not harmful and
does not indicate the beginning of a fire.
Furthermore, the surface of the deployed bag and
the interior of the vehicle may be covered in a dusty
residue: this may irritate your skin and eyes. Wash
with mild soap and water in the event of exposure.
Should an accident occur in which any of the safety
devices are activated, take the vehicle to a Fiat
Dealership to have the activated devices replaced and
to have the whole system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement operation
concerning the airbags must be carried out only at
Fiat Dealerships.
If you are having the vehicle scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the
vehicle changes ownership, the new owner must be
informed of the method of use of air bags and the
above warnings and also be given this "Owner's
Handbook".
Pretensioners, front airbags and front side bags are
deployed differently according to the type of
collision. Non-deployment of one of these devices
does not therefore indicate a system fault.

WARNING
There may be a fault in the retaining
sys
tems if the warning light
does not
light up when the key is turn on or remains on
while travelling (on some versions with a
message on the display). In this case, the airbags
or the pretensioners may not be activated in
the case of an accident or (more seldom) they
may be activated incorrectly. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
WARNING
The expiration dates of the explosive
ch
arge and the clock wire are shown on
a label contained in the glove box. Go to a Fiat
Dealership to have the devices replaced when
the expiration date approaches.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap,
in front of your chest or between
your lips (pipe, pencils, etc .): they could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
WARNING
Airbags may be deployed if another
v
ehicle crashes into yours if the key is
inserted and on, even if the engine is not
running and your vehicle is standing. For this
reason, children must never sit on the front
seat , even if when standing. On the other hand,
if the key is inserted and at STOP, none of the
safety devices (airbag or pretensioners) will
be deployed in a collision. Non-deployment of
the devices in this case does not indicate a
system fault .
WARNING
Have the airbag system checked by a
Fiat
Dealership if the car was stolen, if
theft was attempted, or if the car was subjected
to vandalism or flooding.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to MAR,
t
he warning light
(with passenger's
front airbag activated) comes on and flashes for
a few seconds to remind you that the
passenger's airbag will be deployed in a crash,
after which it should go off.

WARNING
The airbag deployment threshold is
high
er than that of the pretensioners.
For collisions in the range between the two
thresholds, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.
WARNING
Airbags do not replace seat belts, but
in
crease their efficiency. Furthermore,
since front airbags are not deployed in
low-speed head-on collisions, side-on impacts,
rear-end shunts or roll-overs, the passengers are
protected only by the seat belts which must
therefore be fastened at all times.
