Below is a summary of the rules of safety to
be followed when carrying children:
❒Install the child seats on the rear seat, which is the
most protected position in the event of an
accident.
❒If the passenger's air bag is deactivated, always
check the amber warning light
on the
instrument panel to make sure that it has actually
been deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions that came with
the child seat, which the manufacturer must supply
by law. Keep the instructions in the vehicle along
with the other papers and this handbook. Do
not use child seats without instructions.
❒Always check the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
❒Only one child is to be strapped into each seat;
never carry two children using one child seat.
❒Always check the seat belts do not rest on the
child's neck.
❒While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly
or release the belts.
❒Never carry children on your lap, even newborns.
No-one can hold a child in the event of an
accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace the child seat
with a new one.
WARNING
Do not arrange child seats on the front
seat in cars fitted with passenger's air
bag. Children must never travel on the front
seat .

Every control, repair and replacement operation
concerning the airbags must be carried out only at
Fiat Dealerships.
If you are having the vehicle scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the
vehicle changes ownership, the new owner must be
informed of the method of use of air bags and the
above warnings and also be given this "Owner's
Handbook".
Pretensioners, front airbags and front side bags are
deployed differently according to the type of
collision. Non-deployment of one of these devices
does not therefore indicate a system fault.
WARNING
There may be a fault in the retaining
systems if the warning light
does not
light up when the key is turn on or remains on
while travelling (on some versions with a
message on the display). In this case, the airbags
or the pretensioners may not be activated in
the case of an accident or (more seldom) they
may be activated incorrectly. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
WARNING
The expiration dates of the explosive
charge and the clock wire are shown on
a label contained in the glove box. Go to a Fiat
Dealership to have the devices replaced when
the expiration date approaches.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between
your lips (pipe, pencils, etc .): they could cause
severe injur y if the airbag is deployed.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGESThe warning light (where allowed by the instrument
panel) is associated to a specific message and/or
acoustic tone. These indications are brief and
precautionary and as such must not be considered as
exhaustive and/or alternative to the information
contained in the Owner's Handbook, which you are
recommended to read carefully in all cases. Always
refer to the information in this chapter in the event
of a failure indication.
IMPORTANT The fault indicators appearing on the
display are divided into two categories: very serious
and less serious failures.
Serious failures prompt a prolonged cycle of signals.
Less serious failures prompt a shorter cycle of
signals.
Press MENU ESC to stop the warning cycle in both
cases. Instrument panel warning light (or the symbol
on the display) will stay on until the cause of the
failure is eliminated.
LOW BRAKE FLUID
(red)/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED (red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light turns on but should go off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid
The warning light turns on when the level of the
brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum
level, possibly due to a leak in the circuit.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
WARNING
If the warning light
turns on when
travelling (on cer tain versions together
with the message on the display) stop the
vehicle immediately and contact Fiat
Dealership.
