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.

INCOMPLETE DOOR/LOAD
COMPARTMENT CLOSURE (red)
On some versions the warning light turns on
when one or more doors or the tailgate are not
properly closed.
On some versions, the display shows a dedicated
message that indicates left/right front door or rear/load
compartment door opening.
A buzzer will sound when doors/tailgate are open and
the vehicle is moving.
´
Degraded engine oil should be replaced as
soon as possible after the warning light
comes on, and never more than 500 km after it
first comes on.
If the above instructions are not complied with,
the engine could be severely damaged and it may
invalidate the warranty. Please note also that the
switching on of this warning light does not depend
on the oil quantity in the engine; when the
warning light flashes, never add oil.
WARNING
EBD FAILURE (red)
(amber)
Warning lights
xand >lit at the
same time with the engine running,
indicate an EBD system failure or that the system is not
available. Early locking of the rear wheels may occur in
the event of violent braking causing the car to swerve.
Drive very carefully to a Fiat Dealership to have the
system inspected immediately.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.
>
SEAT BELT NOT FASTENED (red)
The warning light on the display will light up
when the vehicle is moving and the driver’s
seat belt is not correctly fastened. The warning
light will flash and a buzzer will sound if the front seat
belts are not correctly fastened with the vehicle in
motion. The SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system’s audible
warning can be disabled only by a Fiat Dealership. On
some versions the system may be reactivated from the
setup menu.

the following checks must be carried out more often
than indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad conditions and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks and lever
cleanliness and lubrication;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel
– brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒check and if necessary change engine oil and oil filter.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Before long journeys, check and, if necessary, restore:
