air bag. Deployment of the air bag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby
regardless of the severity of the collision. It
is advisable to always carr y children in a child
restraint system on the rear seat , which is
the most protected position in the event of a
collision.

Should it be necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front seat in a
rearward facing child restraint system, the
passenger side front airbag and side bag (for
versions/markets, where provided) must be
deactivated through the Setup menu.
Deactivation should be verified by checking
whether the
warning light is switched on in
the instrument panel.The passenger seat must
also be positioned back as far as possible in
order to avoid the child restraint system from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
WARNING

child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.

WARNING
Fit the child seat according to the
instructions, which must be included
with this type of restraint system.
Main recommendations to carry children
safely:
❒Install the child seats on the rear seat, which is the
most protected position in the event of an
accident.
❒Keep children in rearward facing restraint systems
for as long as possible, until 3–4 years old.
❒Should a rearward facing restraint system be
installed on the rear seats, it is advisable to
position it as far forward as the position of the
front seat allows.
❒If the passenger's front airbag is deactivated always
check the warning light on the instrument panel
to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system itself. Keep the instructions
in the car along with the other documents and this
handbook. Do not use second-hand child restraint
systems without instructions.❒Only one child is to be strapped into each
restraint system; never carry two children using
one child restraint system.
❒Always check that the seat belts do not interfere
with the child's throat.
❒Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
❒While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly
or unfasten the belts.
❒Never allow a child to put the belt's diagonal
section under an arm or behind their back.
❒Never carry children on your lap, even newborns.
No-one can restrain a child in the event of an
accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace the child
restraint system with a new one.

AIRBAGThe car is equipped with front airbags for driver and
passenger, driver's knee bag (for versions/markets,
where provided), seat-mounted side airbags for
driver's and passenger pelvis-chest-shoulder
protection (for versions/markets, where provided),
and window airbags for protecting the heads of front
and rear outer occupants.
The location of the airbags on the car is marked by
the writing "AIRBAG" in the middle of the steering
wheel, on the dashboard, on the side trim or on
a label placed next to the airbag deployment area.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags and the driver's
knee bag (for versions/markets, where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in the event of
frontal impacts of medium/high severity, by placing
the bag between the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-deployment in other types of impacts
(side impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not
indicate a system malfunction.
Front (driver and passenger) airbags are not a
replacement for, but are complementary to, the seat
belts, which you are recommended to always wear,
as specified by law in Europe and most non-European
countries.
In the event of impact, those not wearing a seat belt
are projected forwards and may come into contactwith the bag which is still inflating. The protection
offered by the bag is compromised in these
circumstances.
Front airbags may not activate in the following
situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformable objects
not involving the front surface of the car (e.g.
wing collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒underride impacts with other vehicles or wedging
under protective barriers (e.g. trucks or guard
rails).
Failure to activate in the conditions described above
is due to the fact that they may not provide any
additional protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would be inappropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment of the airbag does
not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dashboard
in the passenger airbag area, on roof side trims
or on the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile
phones) on the passenger side of the dashboard
since they could interfere with correct inflation
of the passenger airbag and also cause serious
injur y to the passengers.

WARNING
SEVERE DANGER:When an active
passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install rearward facing child restraints
on the front seat . Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the baby regardless of the severity of the
collision.Therefore, always release the
passenger airbag when a rearward facing child
restraint is installed on the passenger front seat .
The front passenger seat must also be
positioned back as far as possible in order to
avoid the child restraint from coming into
contact with the dashboard. Immediately
reactivate the passenger airbag as soon as the
child restraint system has been removed.
