2014 FIAT PANDA dashboard

AIR BAGSThe car is fitted with front air bags for driver and
passenger, front side bags for driver and passenger
chest-shoulder protection (for versions/markets,
where provided) and window bags for protecting the
heads of front occupants.
FRONT AIR BAGS
The front (driver and passenger) air bags protect the
front seat occupants in the event of head-on 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) air bags are not a
replacement of but 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 an impact, those not wearing a seat
belt move forwards and may come into contact with
the bag which is still inflating. The protection offered
by the bag is compromised in these circumstances.
Front airbags may not deploy 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.);
❒car wedging under other vehicles or protective
barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they may not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their activation would
be inappropriate. In these cases, non-deployment
does not indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dashboard
in the passenger side air bag area, on side
upholstery on roof and on the seats. Never put
objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger's
side dashboard since they could interfere with
correct inflation of the air bag and also cause
serious injur y to the passengers.
Driver's front air bag
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in
a special recess in the centre of the steering wheel
fig. 104.

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.

REPLACING FUSESGENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they intervene
(blow) in the event of a failure or improper
intervention on the system.
When a device does not work, check the condition
of its protective fuse: the conductor element A
fig. 142 must be intact. If it is not, replace the blown
fuse with another with the same amperage (same
colour).
B = intact fuse;
C = fuse with damaged filament.To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pliers D
hooked to the fuse box lid on the dashboard
left-hand side.
Refer to the tables on the following pages to identify
the protective fuse.
WARNING
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with metal wires or
anything else.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with another with
a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
