Automatic Operation
Press the button or pull it, beyond the re-
sistance point. The window opens or clos-

SIDE AIR BAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front side bags
for driver and passenger (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) for pro-
tecting the chest and window bags (for
versions/markets, where provided) for
protecting front and rear passengers’
head.
Side bags (for versions/markets, where
provided) protect vehicle occupants from
side crashes of medium-high severity, by
placing the cushion between the occupant
and the internal parts of the side structure
of the vehicle.
Non-activation of side bags in other types
of collisions (front collisions, rear shunts,
roll-overs, etc...) is not a system malfunc-
tion.In case of side crash, an electronic control
unit, when required triggers the inflation
of the cushion. The cushion immediately
inflates, placing itself as a protection, be-
tween the occupant’s body and the struc-
ture that could cause injuries. Immediate-
ly after, the cushion deflates.
Side bags (for versions/markets, where
provided) are not a replacement of but
complementary to the belts, which you
are recommended to always wear, as
specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.

SIDE WINDOW BAGS - HEAD
PROTECTION fig. 20
(for versions/markets, where provided)
They consist of two “curtain” cushions,
one on the right and the other on the left
side of the vehicle, located behind the side
coverings of the roof and covered by
proper finishing.
Window bags have been designed for pro-
tecting the head of front and rear occu-
pants in the event of side crash, thanks to
the wide cushion inflation surface.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash,
you can obtain the best protection by the
system keeping a correct position on the
seat, allowing thus a correct window bag
unfolding.IMPORTANT The front air bags and/or
side bags may be deployed if the vehicle
is subject to heavy knocks or accidents in-
volving the underbody area, such as for
example violent shocks, against steps,
kerbs or low obstacles, falling of the ve-
hicle in big holes or sags in the road.
IMPORTANT When the airbag inflates it
emits a small amount of dusts. These dusts
are harmless and is not the beginning of
a fire; then the unfold cushion surface and
the vehicle interiors can be covered by a
dusty remains: this dust can irritate skin
and eyes. In case of contact, wash yourself
using neutral soap and water.
Expiry dates for pyrotechnic charge and
coil contact are specified on the label in-
side the glovebox. As this date approach-
es, contact Fiat Dealership to have it re-
placed.
fig. 20F0P0117m
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in
which any of the safety devices is activat-
ed, take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership to
have the devices activated replaced and to
have the system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement op-
erations concerning the air bags must on-
ly be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.
If you are having the vehicle scrapped,
have the air bag system deactivated at a
Fiat Dealership first. If the vehicle changes
ownership, the new owner must be in-
formed of the method of use of air bags
and the above warnings and also be given
this “Owner Handbook”.

Never rest head, arms and

to prevent possible injuries during in-

Never lean head, arms and

WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
If when turning the key to M
the warning light ¬does not
turn on or if it stays on when travel-
ling there could be a failure in safety
systems; in this event air bags or pre-
tensioners could not trigger in case of
impact or, in a minor number of cas-
es, they could trigger accidentally.
Contact Fiat Dealership immediately
to have the system checked.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of
front and rear seats with
trims or covers that are not suitable
to be used with side bags.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on
your lap, in front of your
chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. be-
tween your lips; injury may result in
the event of the air bag being trig-
gered.
WARNINGIMPORTANT The triggering of preten-
sioners, front air bags and side bags is de-
cided in a differentiated manner by the
electronic control unit, depending on the
type of crash. The failure to deploy one or
more of them does not mean that the sys-
tem is not working properly.
Always keep your hands on
the steering wheel rim when
driving, so that if the air bag is trig-
gered, it can inflate without meeting
any obstacles which could cause seri-
ous harm to you. Do not drive with
the body bent forwards, keep the seat
back rest in the erect position and
lean your back well against it.
