FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is provided with front airbags
for the driver and the passenger (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front airbags on both the driver’s and
passenger’s side (for versions/markets,
where provided) have been designed to
protect the 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-deployment of the airbags in other
types of collisions (side collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not neces-
sarily indicate a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag
to inflate in the event of a front crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing
itself between the front occupant’s body
and the structures which could cause in-
jury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags (for
versions/markets, where provided) are
not a replacement of, but complementary
to, the seat belts, which you are recom-
mended to always wear as specified by law
in Europe and most non-European coun-
tries.In the event of a collision, a person not
wearing the seat belt may be thrown for-
ward and come into contact with the bag
before it has fully opened. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in such a
case.
Front airbags may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in front collisions against highly de-
formable objects which do not affect
the front surface of the vehicle (e.g.
bumper collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒vehicle penetration under other vehi-
cles or protective barriers (e.g. trucks
or guard rails);
they could not provide any additional pro-
tection compared with seat belts, so their
deployment would be improper. In these
cases non-deployment of the airbag does
not necessarily indicate a system malfunc-
tion.Do not apply stickers or oth-
er objects on the steering
wheel, on the dashboard (in passen-
ger side airbag area) and on the seats.
Do not place objects (e.g. cell phones)
on the passenger’s side dashboard be-
cause these could interfere with cor-
rect deployment of the passenger’s
airbag and cause severe injury to ve-
hicle occupants.
WARNING
The front airbags on the driver’s and pas-
senger’s sides are designed and calibrated
to protect the front seat passengers who
wear safety belts.
The volume of the front airbags at max.
inflation fills most of the space between
the steering wheel and the driver and be-
tween the dashboard and the passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event
of front collisions of low severity (for
which the withholding action of the seat
belts is sufficient). Safety belts must always
be worn. In the event of a front crash they
ensure the correct positioning of the oc-
cupant.

SAFETY
When the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the warning
light
¬turns on (front airbag on pas-
senger’s side enabled) and blinks for
a few seconds to remind that the pas-
senger airbag will activate in the
event of a collision. Then it turns off.
WARNING
The front airbags deploy in
the event of more severe col-
lisions than those required for de-
ploying the pretensioners. When the
shock is within the two deployment
thresholds, it is normal that preten-
sioners only are engaged.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace
seat belts, but increases their
efficiency. Furthermore, since front
airbags are not deployed after low
speed collisions, side collisions, rear-
end shunts or roll-overs, the vehicle
occupants are only protected by the
seat belts, which must be fastened at
all times.
WARNING
When the ignition key is in
and turned in the MAR posi-
tion and the engine is off, the airbags
may deploy if the vehicle is crashed by
another moving vehicle. For this rea-
son, children must never sit on the
front seat, even if the vehicle is not
moving. We remind you that if the key
is inserted and turned in the STOP po-
sition, no safety device (airbag or pre-
tensioner) activates following a colli-
sion. Non-deployment in such cases
must not be considered as the sign of
a malfunction.
WARNING
If the vehicle is stolen or an
attempt is made to steal it, if
it is subject to criminal attacks or
flooding, have the airbag system
checked by the Fiat Dealership.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after a few
seconds.
The warning light stays on glowing steadi-
ly if there is a failure in the airbag system.
On certain versions the dedicated mes-
sage is displayed.FRONT PASSENGER
AIRBAG/SIDE BAGS
DISABLED
(amber)
The warning light “comes on when the
front passenger’s airbag and the side bags
(where provided) are disabled. With front
passenger’s airbag on, turning the ignition
key to MAR, the warning light “comes
on steadily for about 4 seconds, it flashes
for other 4 seconds and then it goes off.
¬“
If the warning light ¬does
not turn on or stays on dur-
ing vehicle travel when turning the
key to MAR, a failure may be present
in the restraint systems. If this is the
case, the airbags or pretensioners
may not be deployed after an impact
or, in a minor number of cases, they
may be deployed accidentally. Con-
tact the Fiat Dealership immediate-
ly to have the system checked imme-
diately.
WARNING
The failure of the warning
light ¬is indicated by the
warning light flashing longer than the
expected 4 seconds “, thus signalling
that the front passenger airbag is de-
activated. In addition, the airbag sys-
tem automatically disables the airbag
on the passenger’s side (both front
and side airbags, for versions/markets,
where provided). In this case, warn-
ing light ¬may not indicate a fault
in the system. Contact the Fiat Deal-
ership immediately to have the sys-
tem checked before driving off.
WARNING
When the warning light “
comes on, it indicates that
the light ¬has failed. In addition, the
airbag system automatically disables
the airbag on the passenger’s side
(both front and side airbags, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided). Con-
tact the Fiat Dealership immediate-
ly to have the system checked before
driving off.
