IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will be released
when the air bags are deployed. The dust is not harmful
and does not indicate the beginning of a fire.
Furthermore, the surface of the deployed bag and the
interior of the vehicle may be covered in a dusty
residue: this may irritate your skin and eyes. Wash with
mild soap and water in the event of exposure.
The expiration dates of the explosive charge and the
clock wire are shown on a label contained in the glove
box. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the devices
replaced when the expiry date approaches.
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in which any of
the safety devices is activated, take the car to a Fiat
Dealership to have the activated devices replaced and to
have the system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement operation
concerning the air bags must only be carried out at
a Fiat Dealership. SIDE WINDOW BAGS – HEAD PROTECTION
fig. 153 (for versions/markets where provided)
They consist of two curtain bags, 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 special
finishing.
Window bags have been designed for protecting the
head of front occupants in the event of side impact,
thanks to the wide bag inflation surface.
IMPORTANT In the event of side impact, you can
obtain the best protection by the system by maintaining
a correct position on the seat, thus allowing the bags to
unfold correctly.
IMPORTANT The front air bags and/or side bags may
be deployed if the vehicle is subject to heavy knocks or
accidents involving the underbody area, such as for
example violent impacts, against steps, kerbs or low
obstacles, vehicle falling into big pot holes or
depressions in the road.
