WARNING
Always drive keeping your hands on the
steering wheel rim so that the air bag
can inflate freely if necessary. Do not drive with
your body bent forward. Keep your back straight
against the backrest .
Passenger side front air bag
This consists of an instantly-inflating bag contained in
a special compartment in the dashboard fig. 105:
this bag has a larger volume than that on the driver's
side.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER:When an active
passenger air bag is fitted, DO NOT
install backwards-facing child seats on
the front seat . Deployment of the air
bag following an impact could cause fatal
injuries to the child. Always deactivate the
passenger air bag if it is needed to place a child
seat on the front seat .The passenger seat must
also be slid back as far as possible in order to
avoid the child seat from coming into contact
with the dashboard. Although this is not
mandatory by law, the air bag should be
immediately reactivated when children are no
longer transpor ted to ensure better protection
for adults.

Deactivation of passenger side front air bag
and side bag for chest/pelvis protection (for
versions/markets, where provided)
If a child must be carried in backwards-facing seat on
the front seat, deactivate the front passenger side
air bag and side bags for chest/shoulder protection
(for versions/markets where provided). With the air
bags deactivated, the
warning light switches on
in the instrument panel.
IMPORTANT To deactivate the air bags see the
description in the "Getting to know your car"
chapter, "Menu Options" paragraph.
SIDE BAGS (Side bag - Window bag)
The car is fitted with front side airbags for driver and
passenger (for versions/markets where provided)
for protecting the chest and pelvis, and window bags
(for versions/markets where provided) for protecting
the heads of front and rear occupants.
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.Side bags
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These comprise two types of bags located in the
front seat backrests fig. 106 which protect the chest
and shoulder area of the occupants in the event of
a side impact of medium-high severity.

WARNING
If the key is inser ted and turned to MAR
when no faults are indicated by the
warning lights, air bags may be deployed if
another vehicle crashes into the vehicle even if
the engine is not running and the vehicle is
stationary. For this reason, children must never
occupy the front seat , even if the car is not
moving. On the other hand, if the key is inser ted
in STOP position, none of the safety devices
(air bags or pretensioners) will be deployed in
the event of impact . Non-deployment of these
devices does not indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
For versions/markets where provided,
when the ignition key is turned to MAR,
the “yellow”
warning light switches on for a
few seconds. If the passenger air bag/side bag is
active, the “yellow” warning light switches off
after a few seconds. If the passenger air bag/side
bag is NOT active, the “yellow” warning light
stays on.
WARNING
The air bag deployment threshold is
higher than that of the pretensioners.
For collisions in the range between the two
thresholds, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.
WARNING
The air bag does not replace seat belts
but increases their effectiveness.
Because front air bags are not deployed for
low-speed crashes, side collisions, rear-end
shunts or rollovers, occupants are protected, in
addition to any side bags, only by their seat
belts, which must therefore always be fastened.
WARNING
If the “red”
warning light does not
switch on for a few seconds when the
key is turned to MAR, there may be a fault with
the “red” warning light . In this case, the
“yellow” warning light star ts to flash after a few
seconds and, for versions/markets where
provided, the explosive charges of the passenger
air bag and the side bag are deactivated. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
