KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING
114) Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steering wheel, the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area and
the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger side of the dashboard since they could interfere
with correct inflation of the passenger airbag and also cause serious injury to the passengers.
115) When an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install rear facing child restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the child regardless of the severity of the
impact. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger airbag when a rear facing child restraint system is installed on
the front passenger seat. The front passenger seat must also be positioned back as far as possible in order to prevent
the child restraint system from coming into contact with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate the passenger airbag
as soon as the child restraint system has been removed.

SAFETY

120) 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.
121) Always drive keeping your
hands on the steering wheel rim
so that the airbag can inflate
freely if necessary. Do not drive
with your body bent forward.
Keep your back straight against
the backrest.122) If the key is inserted and turned
to MAR-ON, airbags may be
deployed if another vehicle
crashes into the vehicle even if
the engine is not running and the
vehicle is stationary. Therefore,
even if the car is stationary, when
an active front passenger airbag
is fitted, DO NOT install rear
facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat.
Deployment of the airbag
following an impact could cause
fatal injuries to the child.
Therefore, always deactivate the
passenger airbag when a rear
facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger
seat. The front passenger seat
must also be positioned back as
far as possible in order to prevent
the child restraint system from
coming into contact with the
dashboard. Immediately
reactivate the passenger airbag
as soon as the child restraint
system has been removed. Also
remember that, if the key is
turned to STOP, none of the
safety devices (airbags or
pretensioners) will be deployed in
the event of collision. Non-
deployment in such cases does
not indicate a system malfunction.123) If the vehicle has been subject
to theft, attempted theft,
vandalism, or flooding, have the
airbag system inspected at a Fiat
Dealership.
124) When the ignition key is turned
to MAR-ON, the LED on button
on the dashboard blinks for a
few seconds (the number of
seconds may depend on the
market) to check the correct
operation of the LED on the
button.
125) Do not wash the seats with
water or pressurised steam (by
hand or at automatic car seat
washing stations).
126) The front airbag deploys in the
event of more severe collisions
than those required for deploying
the pretensioners. For impacts
whose intensity falls between the
two levels, normally, only the
pretensioners will be activated.
127) Do not affix rigid objects to the
coat hooks or support handles.

IMPORTANT
55) Some car washes with old-style
blades and/or in a poor state of
repair can damage the paintwork,
facilitating the formation of lines
that give the paint a dull/misty
appearance, especially on dark
colours. If this happens, lightly
polish the paintwork with
appropriate products.
IMPORTANT
5) Detergents cause water pollution.
The vehicle should be washed in
areas equipped for collecting
and purifying the liquid used in
the washing process.
INTERIORS
Regularly check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to
water dripping off shoes, umbrellas,
etc.), as this could cause oxidation
of the sheet metal.

SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to
use a moist brush on velvet
upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge
moistened with a solution of water
and mild soap.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts
with a moist cloth and a solution
of water and non-abrasive mild
soap. Use specific products for
cleaning plastic, without solvents
and specifically designed to prevent
damage to the appearance and
colour of the treated parts, to
remove grease and tough stains.IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol,
petrols or derivatives to clean
the instrument panel glass.
LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR
KNOB/HANDBRAKE
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
These components must be
cleaned with mild soap and water
only. Never use alcohol or
alcohol-based products.
Read the product label carefully
before using specific products for
cleaning the interiors: make sure
that the product does not contain
spirits or alcohol-based
substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen
with special products, window
cleaner accidentally drips onto the
leather of the steering wheel/gear
lever knob/handbrake, wipe away
immediately and then wash the
affected area with mild soap and
water.
