IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
The front airbags and/or side bags
(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.Every control, repair and
replacement operation concerning
the airbags must be carried out only
at Fiat Dealerships.
If you are having the vehicle
scrapped, have the system
deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first.
If the vehicle changes ownership,
the new owner must be informed of
how to use the airbags and the
above warnings and also be given
this "Owner Handbook".
Pretensioners, front airbags and
front side bags are deployed
differently according to the type of
collision. Failure to deploy of one
of the devices does not necessarily
indicate a system malfunction.

WARNING
76) If thewarning light does not
turn on when the key is turned to
MAR, or if it stays on when
travelling (together with the
message on the display on some
versions), there could be a failure
in the restraint systems. If this
is the case, the airbags or
pretensioners may not trigger in
the event of an accident or, less
likely, they may trigger
accidentally. Before proceeding,
contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system
checked.
77) Do not travel carrying objects in
your lap, in front of your chest or
between your lips (pipe, pencils,
etc.): they could cause severe
injury if the airbag is deployed in
an accident.

WARNING
105) If the replaced fuse blows again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
106) Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE. If a general protection fuse
(MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) is activated, contact a Fiat Dealership. Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition
key has been removed and that all the other services are switched off and/or disengaged.
107) Contact a Fiat Dealership if a safety system (airbags, brakes), engine system (engine, gearbox) or steering system
general protection fuse blows.
