IMPORTANT The best protection in the event of side-on
crash is achieved by maintaining a correct position on the
seat. This allows the side bag to be correctly deployed.
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with water or pres-
surised steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing sta-
tions).
GENERAL WARNINGS
The front airbags and/or side bags (where provided) may
be deployed if the vehicle is subject to heavy knocks or ac-
cidents involving the underbody area, such as for exam-
ple 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 indi-
cate 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 ex-
posure.
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 sys-
tem checked.
Any airbag checks, repairs or replacements must be car-
ried out at a Fiat Dealership. SIDE BAGS fig. 125
(for versions/markets where provided)
They consist of an instant-inflating bag housed in the front-
seat backrest and have the job of protecting the occupant’s
torso and head in the event of a side-on collision of medi-
um/high severity.

INTERIORS
Check regularly that water is not trapped under the mats
(from dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could cause
the metal to rust. Windows
Use specific detergents to clean the windows. Also use
clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or altering the
transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window gently with a cloth
in the direction of the filaments to avoid damaging the heat-
ing device.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid spraying the water jet
directly onto the electronic control units and the relay/fuse
control unit on the left side of the engine compartment
(as you look from behind the wheel). Have this operation
performed at a specialist garage.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position. After
the wash, make sure that the various protective devices
(e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been removed or
damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g. petrol)
or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the plastic lenses of
the front headlights.
Never use flammable products, such as pe-
troleum ether or modified petrol, to clean
the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during cleaning
may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle:
these could explode. Aerosol cans must
not be exposed to temperatures of more than
50 °C. When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the
temperature inside can greatly exceed this val-
ue.

LEATHER UPHOLSTERED STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR KNOB/HANDBRAKE LEVER
(for versions/market, where provided)
These components must be cleaned with mild soap and
water only. Never use spirits or alcohol-based products.
Read the product label carefully before using specific prod-
ucts for cleaning the interiors: make sure the product does
not contain spirits or alcohol-based substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen with special products,
window cleaner accidentally drips onto the leather of the
steering wheel/gear lever knob/hand brake, wipe away im-
mediately and then wash the affected area with mild soap
and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when installing a steering wheel
locking device not to damage the leather upholstery. SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a damp brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge and a solution of water and
mild soap.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts with a damp
cloth and a solution of water and non-abrasive mild soap.
To remove grease and tough stains, use products designed
specifically for cleaning plastics. These have no solvents
and have been designed so that they do not alter the ap-
pearance and colour of the components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirits or petroleum to clean the
instrument panel glass.
