WARNING: Do not put child seats facing backwards on the front seat if the
passenger’s airbag is enabled (ON).
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby.
Should it be absolutely necessary to place a
child seat on the front seat, always deactivate
the passenger airbag. Move the passenger’s seat
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.

To manually deactivate the passenger’s
front and side air bags, refer to
paragraph “Reconfigurable multifunction
display” in the section “Knowing your car”.
WARNING
SIDE AIRBAGS
The car is fitted with front side bags for driver and
passenger for protecting the chest, and window bags for
protecting front and rear passengers’ heads.
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 frontal crash.
The bags inflate instantaneously placing themselves
between the front occupant’s body and the structures
which could cause injury. They deflate immediately
afterwards.
Side bags are not a replacement for, 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.
MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER’S
FRONT AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
front seat, the passenger front and side airbags can be
deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
“will stay on
constantly until the passenger front and side airbags are
reactivated.

CONTENTS
If the key is turned to MAR, even if the
engine is switched off, airbags may be
deployed when the car is stationary and hit by
another vehicle. For this reason, children must
never sit on the front seat, even if the car is not
moving. We remind you that if the key is turned
to the STOP position, no safety device (airbag
or pretensioner) activates following a collision.
Non-deployment in such cases should not be
considered as the sign of a malfunction.
WARNING
If the car has been stolen or has been
the subject of an attempted theft, if it
has been vandalised or flooded, have the airbag
system checked at an Abarth Dealership.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to MAR,
the warning light “turns on (with front
airbag on passenger’s side enabled) and blinks
for a few seconds to remind you that the
passenger airbag will activate in the event of a
collision. Then it turns off.
WARNING
Do not pressure wash the seats with
steam or water (either by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
WARNING
The front airbags deploy in the event of
more severe collisions than those
required for deploying the pretensioners. For
collisions in the range between the two
activation thresholds, pretensioner activation
alone is normal.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to clothes
hangers and support handles.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace seat belts; it
increases their effectiveness.
Furthermore, since front airbags are not
deployed in low speed collisions, side-on
collisions, rear-end shunts or roll-overs, the
passengers are protected only by the seat belts
which must therefore be fastened at all times.
