KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning lamps What it means
SRS warning lamp
There is a supplemental restraint system (“SRS”) warning lamp on the instrument panel. The system
checks itself every time the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON. The SRS warning lamp will come on for several seconds and then go out. This is normal and
means the system is working properly.
If there is a problem involving one or more of the SRS components, the warning lamp will come on and
stay on.
The SRS warning lamp is shared by the SRS airbag and the seat belt pre-tensioner system.
On vehicles equipped with the ERA-GLONASS, if the ERA-GLONASS system operates, the SRS
warning lamp illuminates.
58) 59)
ABS warning lamp (where provided)
If there is a malfunction in the system, the ABS warning lamp will come on. Under normal conditions, the
ABS warning lamp comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation
mode is put in ON and goes off a few seconds later.
NOTE: On vehicles with the rear differential lock and the Electronic Stability Control (ESC), the ESC and
ABS functions are suspended while the rear differential lock is activated. ESC indicator lamp, ESC OFF
indicator lamp and ABS warning lamp are illuminated while these functions are suspended. It does not
indicate a problem. When the rear differential lock is disengaged, these lamps go out and function again.
Refer to “ESC indicator lamp, ESC OFF indicator lamp”.
If only the ABS warning lamp illuminates:
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
Restart the engine and check to see whether the lamp goes out after a few minutes driving; if it then
remains off during driving, there is no problem.
However, if the warning lamp do not disappear, or if they come on again when the vehicle is driven, we
recommend you to have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.
If the ABS warning lamp and brake warning lamp illuminate at the same time:
The ABS and brake force distribution function may not work, so hard braking could make the vehicle
unstable.
Avoid hard braking and high-speed driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and we recommend you to have the vehicle checked.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

52)If the lamp illuminates while the engine
is running, avoid driving at high speeds and
have the system inspected by a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible. Accelerator
pedal and brake pedal response may be
negatively influenced under these
conditions.
53)If it illuminates while the engine is
running, there is a problem in the charging
system. Immediately park your vehicle in a
safe place and we recommend you to have
it checked.
54)If this lamp illuminates when the engine
oil level is not low, have it inspected.
55)This warning lamp does not indicate
the amount of oil in the crankcase. This
must be determined by checking the oil
level on the dipstick, while the engine is
switched off.
56)If you continue driving with low engine
oil level or with this warning lamp
illuminated, engine seizure may occur.
57)Before moving your vehicle, check that
the warning lamp is OFF.
58)If any of the following conditions occur,
there may be a problem with the SRS
airbags and/or seat belt pre-tensioners,
and they may not function properly in a
collision or may suddenly activate without a
collision: 1 – Even when the ignition switch
or the operation mode is in ON, the SRS
warning lamp does not come on or it
remains on. 2 – The SRS warning lamp
comes on while driving.
59)The SRS airbags and seat belt
pre-tensioners are designed to help reduce
the risk of serious injury or death in certain
collisions. If either of the above conditions
occurs, immediately have your vehicle
checked by a Fiat Dealership.60)Any of the following indicates that the
ABS is not functioning and only the
standard brake system is working. (The
standard brake system is functioning
normally.) If this happens, take your vehicle
to a Fiat Dealership.

(where provided)
132) 133) 134) 135) 136)
69) 70) 71) 72)
The front seat belts each have a
pre-tensioner system and force limiter
system (Single cab and Club cab).
The front seat belts and the rear outer
seat belts each have a pre-tensioner
system and force limiter system (Double
cab).
Pretensioner system
When the ignition switch or the
operation mode is under the following
conditions, if there is a frontal impact or
a side impact (vehicles equipped with
SRS side airbags and SRS curtain
airbags) severe enough to injure the
driver and/or front passenger, or when
a rollover or overturning of the vehicle is
detected (if so equipped), the
pretensioner system will retract their
respective seat belts instantaneously,
thus maximizing the seat belt’s
effectiveness.
Except for vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system: the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START”
position.
Vehicles equipped with the keyless
operation system: the operation mode
is in ON.NOTE The pretensioner seat belts will
be activated if the vehicle suffers a
severe impact, even if the seat belts are
not worn.
NOTE The pretensioner seat belts are
designed to work only once. After the
pretensioner seat belts have been
activated, we recommend you to have
them replaced by a Fiat Dealership.
SRS warning lamp (where provided)
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS
airbags and the pre-tensioner seat
belts. Refer to “SRS warning lamp”.
Force limiter system
In the event of a collision, each force
limiter system will effectively absorb the
load applied to the seat belt so as to
minimize the impact to the passenger.
WARNING
132)Each seat belt must be used by only
one person. Never travel with a child sitting
on the passenger's lap and a single belt to
protect them both fig. 158. In general, do
not place any objects between the person
and the belt.
133)The pretensioner may be used only
once. After it is triggered, have it replaced
at a Fiat Dealership.
134)Removing or otherwise tampering
with pretensioner and seat belt
components is strictly prohibited. Any
intervention on these components must be
performed by qualified and authorised
technicians. Always go to a Fiat Dealership.135)For maximum safety, keep the
backrest upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the
seat belts for both the front and rear seats!
Travelling without wearing seat belts will
increase the risk of serious injury and even
death in the event of an accident.
136)If the belt has been subjected to high
levels of stress, for example after an
accident, it should be changed completely
together with the attachments, attachment
fixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact,
even if the belt has no visible defects, it
may have lost its resilience.
IMPORTANT
69)To obtain the best results from your
pretensioner seat belt, make sure you have
adjusted your seat correctly and wear your
seat belt properly.
70)Installation of audio equipment or
repairs in the vicinity of the pretensioner
seat belts or floor console must be
performed in line with FCA Italy S.p.A.
guidelines. It is important to do so because
the work could affect the pretensioner
systems.
71)If you need to scrap the vehicle, please
consult a Fiat Dealership. It is important to
do so because unexpected activation of
the pretensioner seat belts could cause
injuries.

SAFETY

Only when the ignition switch or the
operation mode is under the following
conditions, the airbags will operate.
Except for vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system: the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START”
position.
Vehicles equipped with the keyless
operation system: the operation mode
is in ON.
When the airbag control unit detects
rollover of the vehicle, curtain airbags
will be deployed (if so equipped).
The airbags deployment produces a
sudden, loud noise, and releases some
smoke and powder, but these
conditions are not injurious, and do not
indicate a fire in the vehicle. People with
respiratory problems may feel some
temporary irritation from chemicals
used to produce the deployment; open
the windows after airbag deployment, if
safe to do so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after
deployment, so there is little danger of
obscured vision.

Driver’s knee airbag system (where
provided)
The driver’s knee airbag is located
under the steering wheel. The driver’s
knee airbag is designed to deploy at the
same time as the driver’s front airbag.
Deployment of front
airbags and driver’s
knee airbag
(where provided)
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY
when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag are designed to deploy when the
vehicle suffers a moderate to severe
frontal impact. The typical condition is
shown in the illustration.1. Head-on collision with a solid wall at
speed of approximately 25 km/h or
higher 2. Moderate to severe frontal
impact within the shaded area between
the arrows
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag will deploy if the severity of
impact is above the designed threshold
level, comparable to an approximately
25 km/h collision when impacting
straight into a solid wall that does not
move or deform. If the severity of the
impact is below the above threshold
level, the front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag may not deploy. However, this
threshold speed will be considerably
higher if the vehicle strikes an object
that absorbs the impact by either
deforming or moving (for example,
another stationary vehicle, pole or a
guard rail).
Because frontal collisions can easily
move you out of position, it is important
to always properly wear your seat belts.Your seat belts will help keep you a safe
distance from the steering wheel and
instrument panel during the initial
stages of airbag deployment. The initial
stage of airbag inflation is the most
forceful, and can possibly cause serious
or fatal injuries. Moreover, the seat belts
in your vehicle are your primary means
of protection in a collision. The SRS
airbags are designed to provide
additional protection. Therefore, for your
safety and the safety of all occupants,
be sure to always properly wear your
seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag MAY NOT DEPLOY when…
With certain types of frontal collisions,
the vehicle’s body structure is designed
to absorb the shock to help protect the
occupants from harm. (The vehicle
body’s front area may deform
significantly as it absorbs the impact.)
Under such circumstances, the front
airbags and driver’s knee airbag may
not deploy irrespective of the
deformation and damage to the vehicle
body.
Examples of some typical conditions
are shown in the illustration.

SAFETY

1. When colliding with a utility pole,
tree or other narrow object. 2. Vehicle
slides under the rear body of a truck
3. Oblique frontal impacts
Because the front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag do not protect the
occupant in all types of frontal
collisions, be sure to always properly
wear your seat belts.
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag ARE NOT DESIGNED TO
DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag are not designed to deploy in
conditions where they cannot typically
provide protection to the occupant.
Such conditions are shown in the
illustration.1. Rear end collisions 2. Side
collisions 3. Vehicle rolls onto its side
or roof
Because the front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag do not protect the
occupant in all types of collisions, be
sure to always properly wear your seat
belts.
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag MAY DEPLOY when…
The front airbags and driver’s knee
airbag may deploy if the bottom of the
vehicle suffers a moderate to severe
impact (undercarriage damage).
Examples of some typical conditions
are shown in the illustration.1. Collision with an elevated
median/island or kerb 2. Vehicle travels
over a deep hole/pothole 3. Vehicle
drives down a steep slope and hits the
ground
Because the front airbags and driver’s
knee airbag may deploy in certain types
of unexpected impacts as shown in the
illustration that can easily move you out
of position, it is important to always
properly wear your seat belts. Your seat
belts will help keep you a safe distance
from the steering wheel and instrument
panel during the initial stages of airbag
deployment. The initial stage of airbag
inflation is the most forceful and can
possibly cause serious or fatal injuries if
you contact it at this stage.

are designed to deploy when the
vehicle suffers a moderate to severe
side impact to the middle of the
passenger compartment.
The typical condition is shown in the
illustration.
1 — Moderate to severe impact to the
middle of the vehicle body’s side
structure.
2 — When the vehicle detects rollover
of the vehicle (Curtain airbag only,
where provided).
The seat belts in your vehicle are your
primary means of protection in a
collision. The SRS side airbags and
curtain airbags are designed to provide
additional protection.Therefore, for your safety and the safety
of all occupants, be sure to always
properly wear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain
airbags MAY NOT DEPLOY when...
With certain types of side collisions, the
vehicle’s body structure is designed to
absorb the shock to help protect the
occupants from harm. (The vehicle
body’s side area may deform
significantly as it absorbs the impact.)
Under such circumstances, the side
airbags and curtain airbags may not
deploy irrespective of the deformation
and damage to the vehicle body.
Examples of some typical conditions
are shown in the illustration.1. Side impacts in an area away from
the passenger compartment.
2. Motorcycle or other similar small
vehicle collides with the side of vehicle.
3. Collision with a utility pole, tree or
other narrow object. 4. Oblique side
impacts. 5. Vehicle rolls onto its side or
roof.
Because the side airbags and curtain
airbags do not protect the occupant in
all types of side collisions, be sure to
always properly wear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain
airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO
DEPLOY when...
The side airbags and curtain airbags
are not designed to deploy in
conditions where they cannot usually
