red
amber
amberEBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and(amber) warning lights (for
versions/markets, where provided), with the
engine on, indicates either a failure of the EBD
system or that the system is not available. In this
case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the
vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
The display shows the dedicated message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system inspected immediately.
redAIRBAG FAILURE
When the key is turned to MAR-ON, the warning
light switches on but should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light stays on constantly if there is a
fault in the airbag system.
On some versions, the display shows the
dedicated message.

amberGENERAL FAILURE INDICATION
(Versions with multifunction display)
The warning light turns on in the following
circumstances:
❒If the fuel inertia cut-off switch is activated
❒Light failure (rear fog lamps, direction
indicators, brake lights, number plate lights,
side lights, daytime lights, main beam
automatism, trailer direction indicators, trailer
side lights)The failure relating to these lights could be: one or
more blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or a
break in the electrical connection.
❒Airbag warning light failure (generic failure
warning light flashing)In this case, the warning light may not indicate
any faults with the restraint systems. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately
to have the system checked.
❒Rain sensor failure
❒Diesel filter sensor failure
❒Trailer connection failure
❒Audio system failure
❒Engine oil pressure sensor failure
❒Parking sensor failure
❒Water in diesel fuel filterContact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to
have the fault fixed.

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.

ALWAYScomply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger

Manual deactivation of
front passenger side
airbag and side bag
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If a child must of necessity be carried
on the front seat facing backwards, the
front passenger side airbag and side
bag for chest protection (for
versions/markets where provided) can
be deactivated.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the
passenger side front airbag and side
bag for chest protection (for
versions/markets where provided), refer
to the "Display" paragraph in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter. The LED on the button
switches on in case of deactivation.
The LED next to the
fig. 168 symbol
on the dashboard shows the passenger
side protection status. If the LED is off,
the passenger side protection is
activated.When the passenger side front airbag
and side bag for chest protection
(for versions/markets where provided)
are activated again, the LED switches
off.
When the vehicle is started (key in
MAR-ON position), the LED turns on for
approx. 8 seconds, provided that at
least 5 seconds have elapsed from the
previous switching off. If not, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is switched off/on again in
less than 5 seconds the LED may
remain off. In this case, to check
correct LED operation, switch the
vehicle off, wait at least 5 seconds and
switch on again.
During the first 8 seconds, the
activation of the LED does not actually
show the passenger protection status,
but only checks its correct operation.

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.

WARNING
170) Never replace a fuse with
another with a higher amp rating;
DANGER OF FIRE. If a general
protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE,
MIDI-FUSE) is activated, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
171) Before replacing a fuse, make
sure that the ignition key has
been removed and that all the
other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
172) If the replaced fuse blows
again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
173) If a general protection fuse for
safety systems (airbag system,
braking system), power unit
systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering
system blows, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
