Air Bag Warning Light
You will want to have the air bags ready to
inflate for your protection in a collision. The
Air Bag Warning Light monitors the internal
circuits and interconnecting wiring associated
with air bag system electrical components. While the air
bag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of
the following occurs, have an authorized studio service
the air bag system immediately.
• The Air Bag Warning Light does not come on during
the four to eight seconds when the ignition switch is
first turned to the ON/RUN position.
• The Air Bag Warning Light remains on after the four to
eight-second interval.
• The Air Bag Warning Light comes on intermittently or
remains on while driving. NOTE:
If the speedometer, or any electric vehicle related
gauges are not working, the Occupant Restraint Control-
ler (ORC) may also be disabled. The air bags may not be
ready to inflate for your protection. Promptly check the
Body Control Module (BCM) fuse block inside the ve-
hicle for blown fuses. Refer to the label located on the
inside of the fuse block cover for the proper air bag fuses.
See your authorized studio if the fuse is good.
Event Data Recorder (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder
(EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in
certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle
is designed to record such data as:

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 71
Page 108 of 350

•Conference Call — you can call another contact while
you are engaged in a phone conversation (with
Bluetooth® phones supporting this option).
• Call Waiting — while engaged in a phone conversa-
tion, you can receive notification of another incoming
phone call, answer the other incoming phone call, and
switch between two ongoing phone conversations.
(Call waiting is only supported by a subset of compat-
ible mobile phones).
• Refusing Incoming Call Or Ending A Call — you can
refuse an incoming call or end a current call by
pressing the Phone Hang-up button on the steering
wheel.
After pairing and connecting your phone with the
BLUE&ME™ system, you can make phone calls by
speaking keywords or pressing buttons on the steering wheel. When using the hands-free phone, the audio
output of a phone conversation is heard through your car
sound speakers.
Message Reader
The BLUE&ME™ message reader enables automatic
reading, through the car sound system, of the SMS texts
you receive on your Bluetooth® wireless technology
mobile phone that are received when the phone is paired
and connected to BLUE&ME™ system. It does not pro-
vide access to messages that were received before the
device was connected with the BLUE&ME™ system. The
message reader will also interpret any abbreviation and
emoticon contained in the SMS text.
NOTE:
Not all mobile phones support the SMS text
message reader function or automatic phonebook trans-
fer via Bluetooth®. Consult www.fiatusa.com for further
information on the list of compatible mobile phones.

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS
There is a standard 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlet,
located in the floor console, for added convenience. This
power outlet can power mobile phones, electronics and
other low power devices.Power is available when the ignition switch is in the
ON/RUN or START position. Insert the cigar lighter or
accessory plug into the outlet for use. To preserve the
heating element, do not hold the lighter in the heating
position.
CAUTION!
•
Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13
Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13 Amp) power
rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system
will need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs
only. Do not insert any other object in the power
outlets as this will damage the outlet and blow the
fuse. Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.

FUSES
WARNING!
•When replacing a blown fuse, always use an ap-
propriate replacement fuse with the same amp
rating as the original fuse. Never replace a fuse
with another fuse of higher amp rating. Never

material. Failure to use proper fuses may result in
serious personal injury, fire and/or property dam-
age.
• Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition
is off and that all the other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
WARNING!
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an autho-
rized dealer.

If a general protection fuse for safety systems (air bag
system, braking system), power unit systems (engine
system, gearbox system) or steering system blows,
contact an authorized Dealer.
