Due to its different attachment
system, the child restraint system
must be secured using the special
lower metal rings A fig. 163,
positioned between rear backrest
and cushion. The upper belt
(provided with the child restraint
system) must be then secured
to ring B fig. 164 located in the
lower part of the seat. It is possible
to have a mixed assembly of
traditional child restraint systems
and Universal Isofix ones.
Remember that in case of Universal
Isofix child restraint systems, you
can use all those approved with the
marking ECE R44/03 “Universal
Isofix”.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is provided with front
airbags for the driver and the
passenger.
The front driver/passenger airbags
have been designed to protect
the front seat occupants in the
event of frontal impacts of
medium-high severity, by placing
the bag between the occupant and
the steering wheel or dashboard.
Therefore, non-activation in other
types of collisions (side collisions,
rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a
system malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make
the bag inflate in the event of a
frontal impact.
The bag will inflate instantaneously
placing itself between the front
occupants body and the structures
which could cause injury. It will
deflate immediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags
are not a replacement of but
complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always
wear, as specified by law in Europe
and most non-European countries.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.
In the event of an impact, someone
not wearing a seat belt will move
forward and come into contact with
the bag which is still in the opening
stage. The protection offered by
the bag is compromised in these
circumstances.
Front airbags may not activate in
the following situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the vehicle (e.g.
wing collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒jamming of the vehicle underneath
other vehicles or protective barriers
(e.g. underneath a truck or a guard
rail); in this case, the bags would offer
no additional protection with respect
to the seat belt and their deployment
is unnecessary. In these cases,
non-deployment does not indicate a
system malfunction.
114)
The airbags are not deployed in the
event of minor frontal collisions
(for which the restraining action of
the seat belts is sufficient). Safety
belts must always be worn. In
the event of frontal collisions they
guarantee correct positioning of the
passenger.
DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT
AIRBAG
It consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special recess in
the centre of the steering wheel

The vehicle is fitted with front side
bags for driver and passenger
(for versions/markets where
provided) for protecting the chest
and window bags (for versions/
markets where provided) for
protecting front and rear
passengers' heads.
Side bags (for versions/markets
where provided) protect occupants
from side impacts of medium-high
severity, by placing the bag
between the occupant and the
internal parts of the side structure
of the vehicle. Non-activation of
side bags in other types of
collisions (front collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not a
system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes
the bags to inflate in the event of a
side impact. The bags inflate
instantaneously placing themselves
between the occupants' bodies
and the structures which could
cause injury. They deflate
immediately afterwards.Side bags (for versions/markets
where provided) are not a

FRONT SIDE BAGS
FOR CHEST
PROTECTION
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Housed in the seats' backrests fig.
169, they consist of an instantly
inflating bag designed to protect
the occupants' chest in the event of
a side impact of medium-high
severity.SIDE AIRBAGS FOR
HEAD PROTECTION
(WINDOW BAGS)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
They consist of two curtain bags,
one on the right and the other
on the left side of the vehicle,
located behind the side coverings
of the roof and covered by specific
finishing fig. 170.
Window bags have been designed
for protecting the head of front
occupants in the event of side
impact, thanks to the wide bag
inflation surface.

128) The airbag does not replace
seat belts but increases their
efficiency. Furthermore, since
front airbags are not deployed in
low-speed frontal impacts, side
impacts, rear shunts or roll-overs,
the passengers are protected
only by the seat belts which must
therefore be fastened at all
times.
