MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF
THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS
(for versions/markets where provided)
If a child must absolutely be carried on one of the front seats, deactivate the front pas-senger airbag and side bag for pelvis, chestand shoulder protection (for versions/markets, where provided).
The deactivation device on the edge of the glove compartment; toaccess it open its flap.
fig. 14F0P0115m
Use the ignition key to turn the pawl of the deactivation device to OFFto deacti- vate the airbag or to ONto activate it. Warning light “on the instrument pan-el stays on constantly until the front pas-senger airbags and side bag for chest pro-tection (side bag) (for versions/marketswhere provided) are reactivated.
SIDE BAGS
The car is equipped with front side airbagsfor driver and passenger (for ver-sions/markets, where provided) pelvis,chest and shoulder protection (front sidebags), airbags for protecting the heads offront and rear occupants (window bags)(for versions/markets where provided).The front side airbags (for versions/mar-kets, where provided) protect the occu-pants during impacts of medium-highseverity, by placing the bag between theoccupant and the internal parts of the sidestructure of the vehicle. Therefore non-deployment of the side bags in other typesof impacts (front, rear, roll-overs, etc.)does not indicate a system malfunction.
Side airbags (for versions/markets where provided) are not a replacement for, butare complementary to, the seat belts,which you are recommended to alwayswear, as specified by law in Europe andmost non-European countries.
An electronic control unit will inflate the bags, when necessary, in the event of aside impact. The bags will inflate instanta-neously placing themselves between theoccupant bodies and the structures whichcould cause injuries;

IMPORTANT Do not affix rigid objects to

IMPORTANT Do not rest your head,
arms or elbows on the door, windows or
the area in which the head protection side
bag (window bag) deploys to avoid possi-
ble injury during airbag inflation.
IMPORTANT Never lean your head, arms
or elbows out of the window.
WINDOW BAG fig. 16
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These comprise two “curtain” bags, one
on the right side and one on the left side
of the vehicle, housed behind the roof side
linings and covered by special trims. They
are designed to protect the head of front
and rear occupants in the event of a side
impact, thanks to the wide cushion infla-
tion surface.
In the event of a side impact, the system
provides best protection if the passenger
sits on the seat in a correct position, thus
allowing correct deployment of the side
bags.

SIDE BAG - fig. 15
(for versions/markets, where provided)
They are located in the backrests of the

pelvis, chest and shoulder area of the oc-
cupants in the event of a side impact of
medium-high severity.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
If, when the key is turned to
M, the ¬warning light does
not switch on or stays on whilst dri-
ving, a fault may have occurred in the
restraint systems. In this case the
airbags or pretensioners may not be
deployed in an impact or, in a lower
number of cases, they may be de-
ployed accidentally. Before continu-
ing, contact a Fiat Dealership imme-
diately to have the system checked.
WARNING
For versions/markets where
provided, if warning lights ¬and “stay on constantly contact a
Fiat Dealership for immediate check
of the system.
WARNING
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with
water or pressurised steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
IMPORTANT The front airbags and/or
side bags may be deployed if the car is sub-
ject to violent impacts involving the un-
derbody area (e.g. violent impacts against
steps or kerbs, big holes or dips in the
road, etc.).
IMPORTANT When the airbag deploys it
emits a small amount of dust. The dust is
not harmful and does not indicate the be-
ginning of a fire. Furthermore, the surface
of the deployed bag and the interior of the
vehicle may be covered with a dusty
residue: this may irritate your skin and
eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in
the event of exposure.
IMPORTANT Airbag checking, repair and
replacement must be carried out at a Fi-
at Dealership.
IMPORTANT If the vehicle is scrapped,
have the airbag system deactivated at a Fi-
at Dealership.IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags
and front side bags are deployed in differ-
ent ways, according to the type of impact.
Failure to deploy of one or more of the
devices does not indicate a system mal-
function.
Warning light ¬flashes to in-
dicate a failure of the “warning light: in this case, the py-
rotechnic charges of the passenger
airbag are deactivated (for versions/
markets, where provided). Contact a
Fiat Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.
WARNING
When the ignition key is
turned to MAR-ON, the
warning light
“(with front passenger
airbag active) switches on and flashes
for a few seconds to remind you that
the passenger airbag will be deployed
in an impact, after which it should
switch off.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of
the front seats with covers or
upholstery that are not suitable for use
with side bags.

If the vehicle has been stolen
or in the case of attempt to
steal it, if it has been subjected to
vandalism or floods, have the airbag
system checked by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The airbags may also be de-
ployed when the vehicle is
not moving, if the key is in the igni-
tion and turned to MAR-ON or when
the engine is off, if the vehicle is hit
by another moving vehicle. For this
reason, children must NEVER occupy
the front seats in a rearward facing
seat even if the vehicle is not moving.
Deployment of the airbag following
an impact could cause fatal injuries
to the child. Always deactivate the
front passenger airbag if arranging a
child restraint system on one of the
front seats is necessary. On the oth-
er hand, if the key is turned to STOP,
none of the safety devices (airbags or
pretensioners) will be deployed in the
event of an impact. Non-deployment
of these devices does not indicate a
system malfunction.
WARNING
The airbag 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 airbag does not replace
the seat belts but increases
their efficiency. Because front airbags
are not deployed for low-speed im-
pacts, side collisions, rear-end shunts
or rollovers, in these cases occupants
are protected only by their seat belts,
which must therefore always be fas-
tened.
WARNINGThe expiry dates of the py-
rotechnic charge and the
clock spring are shown on a specific
plate contained in the glove box. Con-
tact a Fiat Dealership when these
dates approach.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects
in your lap, in front of your
chest or between your lips (pipe, pen-
cils, etc.). They could cause severe in-
jury if the airbag is deployed.

OF THE VEHICLE
ENGINE STARTING
The vehicle is fitted with an electronic en-
gine lock device: if the engine fails to start,
see the paragraph “The Fiat CODE sys-
tem” in section “Dashboard and controls”.
The engine may be noisier than usual dur-
ing the first seconds of operation, espe-
cially after it has not been used for a while.
This characteristic feature does not com-
promise functionality or reliability of the
hydraulic tappets: the timing system de-
vised to limit servicing.
We recommend that during
the initial period you do not
drive to full vehicle perfor-
mance (e.g.: excessive accel-
eration, long journeys at top speed,
sharp braking, etc.).
When the engine is switched
off never leave the key into
the ignition switch to prevent
pointless current absorption
from draining the battery.
Running the engine in con-
fined areas is extremely dan-
gerous. The engine consumes oxygen
and produces carbon monoxide
which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.
WARNING
Remember that the servo-
brake and power steering
are not operational until the engine
has been started, therefore much ef-
fort than usual is required on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
WARNING
Dashboard and controls
Proceed as follows:
❒Ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒Put the gear lever into neutral;
❒Turn the ignition key to M: the warn-
ing light
mon the instrument panel
display will turn on;
❒Wait for the warning light mto turn
off. The hotter the engine is, the quick-
er this will happen;
❒Press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accelerator;
❒Turn the ignition key to Das soon as
warning light
mgoes out. If you wait
too long you will lose the benefit of the
work done by the glow plugs. Release
the key as soon as the engine starts.
