WARNING
22)All adjustments must only be carried
out with the vehicle stationary and the
engine off. Head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only in this case
can they protect your head correctly.
23)To make the best use of the head
restraint's protective action, adjust the
backrest so that your torso is upright and
keep your head as close as possible to the
head restraint.
STEERING WHEEL
The height and axial position of the
steering wheel can be adjusted on all
versions.
To carry out the adjustment, proceed as
follows:
release lever A fig. 52 by pushing it

24) 25)
WARNING
24)All adjustments must only be carried
out with the vehicle stationary and the
engine off.
25)Under no circumstances should
aftermarket operations involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) be
carried out that could badly affect
performance and safety. This also causes
the warranty to become null and void
and results in vehicle non-compliance with
type-approval requirements.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

While pregnancy progresses, the driver
must adjust both seat and steering
wheel to have full control over the
vehicle (pedals and steering wheel must
be easy to access). The maximum
clearance should be kept between the
abdomen and the steering wheel.
IMPORTANT The belt must not be
twisted. The upper part must pass over
the shoulder and cross the chest
diagonally. The lower part must adhere
to the pelvis (as shown in fig. 125)
rather than the abdomen of the
passenger. Never use devices (clips,
clamps, etc.) that hold the seat belt
away from your body.
66)
Removing or tampering with seat belt
and pretensioner components is strictly
prohibited. Any intervention on these
components must be performed by
qualified and authorised technicians.
Always go to a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never travel with a child
sitting on the passenger's lap with a
single belt to protect them both fig.
126. Do not fasten other objects to the
body.
67)
SEAT BELTS
MAINTENANCE
For keeping the seat belts in efficient
conditions, carefully observe the
following warnings:
always use the seat belt well
stretched and never twisted; make sure
that it is free to run without
obstructions;
check seat belt operation as follows:
attach the seat belt and pull it hard;
replace the belt after an accident of
a certain severity even if it does not
appear to be damaged. Always replace
the belt if the pretensioners were
deployed;
prevent the retractors from getting
wet: their correct operation is only
guaranteed if water does not get inside;
replace the seat belt when it shows
wear or cuts.

80)If a Universal ISOFIX child seat system
is not fixed to all three anchorages, it will
not be able to protect the child correctly. In
a crash, the child could be seriously or
fatally injured.FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front airbag for
the driver and, for versions/markets
where provided, front airbag for the
passenger.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags (for
versions/markets where provided)
have been designed to protect the
front-seat occupants in the event of
head-on crashes of medium-high
severity, by placing the bag between
the occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Non-activation in other types of crash
(side-on collisions, rear shunts,
roll-overs, etc.) is therefore not a sign of
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.Front driver/passenger airbags (for
versions/markets where provided) are
not a replacement for, but rather a
complement to, the seat belts, which
should be worn at all times as specified
by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of an impact, those not
wearing a seat belt are projected
forwards, and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating.
The protection offered by the cushion is
compromised in such a case.
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.);
vehicle wedging under other vehicles
or protective barriers (e.g. trucks or
guard rails);
they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would not be
appropriate. In these cases, non-
deployment does not indicate a system
malfunction.

SAFETY

The driver's and passenger's front
airbags have been designed and
calibrated to protect front seat
occupants wearing seat belts.
At their maximum inflation, their volume
fills most of the space between the
steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the
passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the
event of minor frontal impacts (for
which the restraining action of the seat
belts is sufficient). It is therefore always
necessary to wear seat belts.
FRONT AIRBAG DRIVER'S
SIDE
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special
compartment in the centre of the
steering wheel fig. 134.PASSENGER SIDE FRONT
AIRBAG
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special recess in the
dashboard. This bag has a larger
volume than that of the driver fig. 135.FRONT PASSENGER SIDE
AIRBAG AND CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
86)Rearward facing child restraint systems
must NEVER be fitted on the front
seat with an active passenger side
airbag since in the event of an impact
the airbag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
ALWAYS comply with the instructions
on the label fig. 136 stuck on the
passenger side sun visor.

WARNING
81)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.
82)Always drive with your hands on the rim of the steering wheel so that the airbag can inflate freely if required. Do not drive with your body
bent forward. Keep your back straight against the backrest.
83)The airbag deployment threshold is higher than that of the pretensioners. For collisions in the range between the two thresholds, it is
normal for only the pretensioners to be activated.
84)The airbag does not replace seat belts but increases their efficiency. Because front airbags are not deployed for low-speed crashes, side
collisions, rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants are protected, in addition to any side bags, only by their seat belts, which must therefore
always be fastened.
85)In some versions, in the event of a failure of the
LED (located on the front courtesy light), thewarning light on the instrument panel
turns on and the passenger side airbags are deactivated.
86)When there is an active passenger airbag, DO NOT install rearward 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 side airbag when a rearward 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.
