Operations which lead
to impacts, vibrations or
localised heating (above
100°C for a maximum of 6
hours) in the area around the
pretensioners may damage or
activate them. These devices are
not affected by vibrations
caused by uneven road surfaces
or low obstacles such as kerbs,
etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership
should intervention be
necessary.LOAD LIMITERS
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
To increase passenger safety in an
accident, the front and rear (for
versions/markets where provided)
seat belt reels contain a load limiter
which controls the force acting on
the chest and shoulders during the
restraining action of the belts in the
event of a head-on collision.
The pretensioner may
be used only once.
After it has been activated,
have it replaced at a Fiat
Dealership. Consult the plate
in the glove box to check the
status of the pretensioners.
Go to a Fiat Dealership to have
the device replaced when the
expiration date approaches.

If the key is inserted
and turned to MAR
when no faults are indicated by
the warning lights, airbags may
be deployed if another vehicle
crashes into the vehicle even if
the engine is not running and
the vehicle is stationary. For
this reason, children must
never sit on the front seat,
even if the vehicle is stationary.
On the other hand, if the key is
inserted in STOP position,
none of the safety devices
(airbags or pretensioners) will
be deployed in the event of
impact. Non-deployment of
these devices does not indicate
a system malfunction.
WARNING
For versions/markets
where provided, when
the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the “yellow” Fwarning
light switches on for a few
seconds. If the passenger
airbag is active, the “yellow”
warning light switches off after
a few seconds. If the passenger
airbag is NOT active, the
“yellow” warning light
stays on.
WARNING
If the “red” ûwarning
light does not switch on
for a few seconds when the key
is turned to MAR, there may be
a fault with the “red” warning
light. In this case, the “yellow”
warning light starts to flash
after a few seconds and, for
versions/markets where
provided, the explosive charge
of the passenger airbag is
deactivated.
WARNING
The expiry date of the
explosive charge is
shown on a specific label
contained in the glove box;
contact a Fiat Dealership to
have it replaced when this
expiry date approaches.
WARNING
In the event of “yellow”
Fwarning light
failure, the “red”
ûwarning
light switches on and, for
versions/markets where
provided, the explosive charge
of the passenger airbag is
deactivated.
