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
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.
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.

IMPORTANT In the event of a
side-on crash, the system offers
best protection if you keep a
correct position on the seat
because this allows the side bags
to inflate correctly.
IMPORTANT The front airbags
and/or side bags 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,
vehicle falling into big potholes or
depressions in the road.
IMPORTANT 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.IMPORTANT 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 only be carried
out at a Fiat Dealership.
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".
IMPORTANT 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
116) Never rest your head, arms or
elbows on the doors, on the
windows or in the window bag
area as this could cause injuries
during the inflation phase.
117) Never lean your head, arms and
elbows out of the window.
118) If when turning the key to
MAR-ON the warning light
does not turn on or if it stays
on when travelling (together with
the message on the multifunction
display, for versions/markets
where provided), there could be a
fault in the safety systems; in
this event, airbags or
pretensioners may not trigger in
the case of impact or, in a lower
number of cases, they could be
triggered accidentally. Contact a
Fiat Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
119) Do not cover the backrest of
the front or rear seats with covers
which are not suitable for use
with side bags.

SAFETY

SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below
for fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other
pollutants (nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter
(PM), etc.).
GENERAL
CONSIDERATIONS
The general factors that affect fuel
consumption are listed below.
Vehicle maintenance
Have checks and adjustments
carried out in accordance with the
“Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least
once every four weeks: if the
pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to
rolling is higher.Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded
luggage compartment. The weight
of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its geometry
greatly affect fuel consumption and
stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski
rack from the roof after use. These
accessories decrease aerodynamic
penetration of the vehicle and
have a negative effect on fuel
consumption. When transporting
particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.
Electric devices
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The heated
rear window, additional headlights,
windscreen/rear window wipers
and heater fan need a considerable
amount of energy, therefore
increasing fuel consumption (by up
to 25% in the urban cycle).Climate control
system
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average up to
+20%). If the temperature outside
permits, try and use the ventilation
only.
Devices for
aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified spoilers
may adversely affect air drag and
fuel consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
The main driving styles that affect
fuel consumption are listed below.
Cranking
Do not warm up the engine at low
or high revs when the vehicle is
stationary; this causes the engine
to warm up more slowly, thereby
increasing fuel consumption and
emissions. It is therefore advisable
to move off immediately, slowly,
avoiding high speeds: in this way
the engine will warm up more
quickly.
185

IMPORTANT
43) Keep your speed down when
snow chains are fitted; do not
exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
steps and pavements and avoid
driving for long distances on
roads not covered with snow to
prevent damaging the vehicle and
the roadbed.
PROLONGED
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be off the
road for longer than one month, the
following precautions must be
taken:
❒park the vehicle indoors in a dry and,
if possible, well-ventilated place;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not
engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery
terminal; if the vehicle is equipped
with a battery disconnection function
(disconnector), see the description
of the procedure in the "Controls"
paragraph in the "Dashboard and
controls" section;
❒clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds
available commercially;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the
windscreen and rear window wiper
rubber blades and lift them off the
glass;
❒slightly open the windows;❒cover the vehicle with a piece of
fabric or perforated plastic sheet. Do
not use compact plastic tarpaulins,
which prevent humidity from
evaporating from the surface of the
vehicle;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the
standard specified pressure and
check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling
system.
IMPORTANT If the vehicle is
equipped with an alarm system,
switch off the vehicle alarm with the
remote control.
IMPORTANT After turning the
ignition key to STOP and having
closed the driver side door, wait at
least one minute before
disconnecting the electrical supply
from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply
to the battery, make sure that
the ignition key is in the STOP
position and the driver side door is
closed.

IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING
141) Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc. to show that your
vehicle is stationary according to
the regulations in force.
Passengers should get out of the
vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel
to be changed away from the
traffic. Apply the handbrake. in
the event of a wheel change on a
slope or on unsurfaced roads,
put any object as stop under the
wheels.
142) The spare wheel supplied (for
versions/markets, where
provided) is specific for your
vehicle. Therefore, it must not be
used on other models. Do not
use spare wheels of other models
on your vehicle. The wheel bolts
are specific for your vehicle: do
not use them on different models
and do not use bolts from other
models on your car.143) Have the wheel repaired and
refitted as soon as possible. Do
not apply grease to the bolt
threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
144) Use the jack only to replace
wheels on the vehicle with which
it is supplied or on other vehicles
of the same model. Never use
the jack for other purposes, such
as lifting other car models. Never
use the jack to carry out repairs
under the vehicle. Incorrect
positioning of the jack may cause
the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than
those shown on the label.
145) Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any
kind between rim and tyre. Check
tyre and spare wheel pressure
regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical
specifications" section.
146) No tools other than the crank
provided should be used with
the spare wheel lifting device; it
should be operated by hand only.147) On versions equipped with
self-levelling air suspension, never
introduce the head or hands in
the wheel arch: the vehicle could
raise or lower automatically
depending on possible load or
temperature changes.
148) The device should only be
operated by hand, without using
any type of tool other than the
crank provided, like pneumatic or
electrical screwers.
149) The moving components of the
jack (screw and joints) can also
cause injuries: do not touch them.
If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
150) At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel,
after having checked the correct
positioning of the wheel under the
platform (yellow notch inside the
window on the device), the
spanner must be extracted, taking
care not to turn it in the wrong
direction (as in fig. 189) to
facilitate the extraction of the
spanner itself, to prevent the
attachment device from being
released and the wheel assembly
not being securely retained.
