WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects to
the steering wheel, the dashboard in
the passenger side airbag area and the seats.
Do not place objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger side dashboard because these could
interfere with the correct opening of the airbag
and cause severe injur y to occupants.The front driver and passenger airbags are designed
and calibrated to best protect front-seat passengers
wearing seat belts. The volume of the front airbags at
maximum inflation fills most of the space between
the steering wheel and the driver and between
the dashboard and the passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of small
head-on collisions (for which the withholding action
of the seat belts is sufficient). Seat belts must always
be worn. In the event of head-on collisions, they
ensure the correct positioning of the occupant.

FRONT AIRBAG DRIVER'S SIDE
This consists of an instant-inflating bag contained in a
special compartment in the centre of the steering
wheel fig. 110.
FRONT AIRBAG PASSENGER'S SIDE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in
a special compartment in the dashboard: this bag
has a larger volume than the driver's.fig. 111
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER: Do not put cradle
seats facing backwards on the front seat
if the front passenger airbag is enabled.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the child. Always
deactivate the passenger airbag when placing a
child seat on the front seat . Also, the passenger
seat should be as far back as possible to avoid
contact between the child seat and the
dashboard. Although this is not mandatory by
law, the airbag should be immediately
reactivated when children are no longer carried
to ensure better protection for adults.

SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This consists of an instant inflating bag housed in the
front seat backrest fig. 112. It protects the chest
and the pelvis of the passengers in the event of a side
impact of medium-high severity.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side crash, the system
provides best protection if the passenger sits on
the seat in a correct position, thus allowing correct
side bag deployment.
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at automatic
seat washing stations).GENERAL WARNINGS
The front airbags and/or side bags (for versions/
markets, where provided) may be deployed if the
vehicle is subject to heavy knocks or accidents
involving the underbody area, such as for example
violent shocks against steps, kerbs or low obstacles,
or the vehicle falling into big potholes or depressions
in the road.
A small amount of dust will be released when the
airbags 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.
Should an accident occur in which any of the safety
devices are activated, take the vehicle to a Fiat
Dealership to have the activated devices replaced and
to have the whole system checked.
