WARNING
116) Fit the child restraint system only when the vehicle is stationary. The child restraint system is correctly anchored to
the brackets when you hear the click.
117) Follow the instructions for positioning, fitting and removing which the manufacturer must supply together with the
child restraint system.
118) Fiat Professional recommends fitting the child restraint system according to the instructions, which must be
included.

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.
119)
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 fig. 166.

131) 132) 133)
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. 170,
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. 171.
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.

127) 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.128) If the vehicle has been subject
to theft, attempted theft,
vandalism, or flooding, have the
airbag system inspected at a Fiat
Dealership.
129) 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.
130) Do not wash the seats with
water or pressurised steam (by
hand or at automatic car seat
washing stations).
131) 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.
132) Do not affix rigid objects to the
coat hooks or support handles.133) 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.
