SIDE AIRBAGS (SIDE
BAGS - WINDOW
BAGS)
To increase protection of occupants in
case of side collision, the car is
equipped with front side bags for pelvis,
chest and shoulder protection (side
bags) for the driver and the passenger
and airbags protecting the head of front
and rear occupants (window bags).
Non-activation of side bags in other
types of collisions (head-on collisions,
rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not
an indication of system malfunction.
FRONT SIDE AIRBAGS
(SIDE BAGS)
These comprise two types of bags
located in the front seat backrests fig.
124 which protect the pelvic, chest and
shoulder area of the occupants in the
event of a side impact of medium-high
severity.
SIDE AIRBAGS FOR
HEAD PROTECTION
(WINDOW BAGS)
This comprises two "curtain" bags
housed behind the roof side linings and
covered by special trims fig. 125.It is designed to protect the head of
front and rear occupants in the event of
a side collision, thanks to the wide
cushion inflation surface.
The deployment of side bags in the
event of side impacts of low severity is
not required.
The airbags are not deployed in the
event of low-severity impacts (for which
the retaining action of the seat belts is
sufficient). It is therefore always
necessary to wear seat belts.In the event of a side impact, the
system provides optimum protection if
the passenger assumes the correct
position on the seat, thus allowing
correct window bag deployment.
IMPORTANT
Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
The front and/or side bags may activate
in the event of sharp knocks to the
underbody of the car (e.g. impact with
steps, pavements, potholes or road
bumps etc.).

SAFETY
REPLACING A
WHEEL
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the “Fix&Go
Automatic Kit”: see the paragraph
“Fix&Go Automatic Kit” for how to use
this device.
As an alternative to the “Fix&Go
Automatic Kit” the car may be
requested with a space-saver wheel:
see the instructions on the following
pages for changing the wheel.
113) 114) 115) 116) 117)
JACK
Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be
replaced by another original one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel, proceed as follows:❒stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat
if possible, and sufficiently firm;
❒switch off the engine, pull up the
handbrake and engage the 1
stgear
or reverse. Wear the reflective safety
jacket (compulsory by law) before
getting out of the car;
❒open the luggage compartment, pull
tab A fig. 139 and lift up the mat;
❒using wrench A fig. 140 positioned in
the tool box, loosen the locking
device, take the tool box B and place
it close to the wheel to be replaced,
then take the space-saver wheel C;❒take the wrench A fig. 141 and
loosen the fixing bolts by about one
turn. For versions with alloy rims,
shake the car to facilitate detachment
of the rim from the wheel hub.
❒position the jack under the car, near
the wheel to be changed. On
versions where this is fitted, be
careful not to damage the plastic
aerodynamic guard;

IMPORTANT If you need to remove the
subwoofer, follow the indications shown
on the adhesive label fig. 148 over the
subwoofer itself to reposition it
correctly.
REFITTING THE WHEEL
Following the procedure described
previously, raise the car and remove the
space-saver wheel.
Proceed as follows:
❒make sure the contact surfaces
between standard wheel and hub are
clean so that the fastening bolts will
not come loose;
❒for versions with steel rims: fix the
hub cap on the rim, aligning the
crescent hole with the bolt you have
fitted, then insert the other 4 bolts;
❒tighten the retaining bolts using
wrench A fig. 139;❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒use wrench A to fully tighten the
bolts, following the sequence
illustrated in fig. 144
At the end of operation
Proceed as follows:
❒stow the space-saver wheel in the
compartment provided in the luggage
compartment;
❒insert the jack and the other tools in
the container;
❒arrange the container and tools on
the space-saver wheel;
❒correctly reposition the luggage
compartment mat.
WARNING
113) The space-saver wheel is
specific for your car. Do not use it
on cars of different models. Do
not use space-saver wheels of
different models on your car. The
space-saver wheel must only be
used in the event of emergency. It
must only be used for the
distance necessary to reach a
service point and the car speed
must not exceed 80 km/h. The
space-saver wheel has an orange
label that summarises the main
cautions for use and limitations.
Never remove or cover the label.
Never apply any hub cap to the
space-saver wheel.
114) Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your car
is stationary. Passengers should
get out of the car, particularly if it
is heavily loaded, and wait for
the wheel to be changed away
from the traffic. In the event of a
wheel change on a slope or on
unsurfaced roads, chock the
wheels.

IN AN EMERGENCY
WARNING
150) The road holding qualities of
the car also depend on the correct
inflation pressure of the tyres.
151) If tyre pressure is too low, it
may overheat and be severely
damaged as a result.
152) Do not switch tyres from the
left to the right side and vice
versa, in order to prevent
inversion of the rotation direction.
153) Do not repaint alloy wheel rims
at temperatures higher than
150°C. The mechanical
characteristics of the wheels
might be compromised.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WIPERS
BLADES
It is advisable to replace the blades
about once a year.
154)
A few simple precautions can reduce
the possibility of damage to the blade:
❒if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber to the glass. Use an
antifreeze product to release it if
required;
❒remove any snow from the glass;
❒do not operate the windscreen/rear
window wipers on dry glass.
Replacing the
windscreen wiper
blades
Proceed as follows:
❒raise the wiper arm, press tab A fig.
190 of the attachment spring and
remove the blade from the arm;
❒fit the new blade by inserting the tab
into the special slot in the arm. Make
sure that it is properly locked into
place.
❒lower the wiper arm on the
windscreen.Raising the windscreen
wipers
If it is necessary to lift the blade from
the windscreen (e.g. in the event of
snow or if the blade needs
replacement) proceed as follows:
❒turn the ignition key to the MAR-ON
position;
❒operate the lever to the right of the
steering wheel to activate a
windscreen wiper stroke (see
paragraph "Window washing" in
chapter "Getting to know your car");
❒turn the ignition key to the STOP
position when the driver's side wiper
blade reaches the windscreen side
pillar and lift the windscreen wiper to
the rest position;
❒bring the wiper blades back into
contact with the windscreen before
activating the windscreen wiper.
