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, chest
and shoulder protection (for versions/
markets, where provided).
The deactivation device fig. 14is located
on the edge of the glove compartment; to
access it open its flap. fig. 14
F0P0115m
Use the ignition key to turn the pawl of
the deactivation device to O
OFF
to deacti-
vate the airbag or to O
ON
to 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/markets
where provided) are reactivated.
SIDE BAGSThe car is equipped with front side airbags
for driver and passenger (for
versions/markets, where provided) pelvis,
chest and shoulder protection (front side
bags), airbags for protecting the heads of
front 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-high
severity, by placing the bag between the
occupant and the internal parts of the side
structure of the vehicle. Therefore non-
deployment of the side bags in other types
of impacts (front, rear, roll-overs, etc.)
does not indicate a system malfunction.
Side airbags (for versions/markets where
provided) 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.
An electronic control unit will inflate the
bags, when necessary, in the event of a
side impact. The bags will inflate instanta-
neously placing themselves between the
occupant bodies and the structures which
could cause injuries;

IMPORTANT Do not affix rigid objects to
the garment hooks or support handles.
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.

stantly inflating bag which protect 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 M-ON, the warn-
ing 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.

MAINTENANCE
Fabric upholstery of your ve-
hicle is purpose-made to
withstand common wear re-
sulting from normal use of the
vehicle. It is however absolutely neces-
sary to prevent hard and/or prolonged
scratching/scraping caused by clothing
accessories like metallic buckles, studs,
“Velcro” fixings, etc. that stressing lo-
cally the fabric could break yarns and
damage the upholstery as a conse-
quence. CLEANING SEATS
AND FABRICS
Remove dust with a soft brush and vacu-
um cleaner. For velvet seats use a damp
brush.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral de-
tergent.
Never use flammable prod-
ucts like oil ether or rectified
petrol for cleaning vehicle interiors.
Electrostatic discharges generated by
rubbing during cleaning operations
could cause fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the vehicle: they might ex-
plode. Aerosol cans must never be ex-
posed to a temperature above 50° C.
The temperature inside the vehicle
exposed to the sun may go well be-
yond that figure.
WARNING
INTERIORSPeriodically check that water is not trapped
under the mats (due to water dripping off
shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which could cause
oxidisation of the sheet metal.STEERING WHEEL/GEAR LEVER
KNOB WITH GENUINE
LEATHER COVERING
These components shall only be cleaned
with water and neutral soap.
Never use spirit or alcohol-based prod-
ucts.
Before using special products for clean-
ing interiors, read carefully label instruc-
tions and indications to make sure they
are free from spirit and/or alcohol-based
substances.
If when cleaning the windscreen with spe-
cial glass products, some drops fall on the
leather covering of the steering wheel/gear
lever knob remove them immediately and
then clean with water and neutral soap.
IMPORTANT Take the utmost care when
engaging the steering lock to prevent
scratching the leather covering.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
For routine cleaning of interior plastic parts
use a soft cloth moistened with water and
neutral soap. Remove grease or persisting
stains using appropriate solvent-free prod-
ucts designed to preserve appearance and
colour of plastic components.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol, petrols
and derivatives to clean the instrument
panel lens.
