2017 FIAT FULLBACK airbag

178)Do not set anything on, or attach
anything to, the instrument panel above the
glove box. It might strike and injure an
occupant if the airbag inflates.
179)Do not attach accessories to, or put
them in front of, the windscreen. These
objects could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the airbags
inflate.
180)Do not attach additional keys or
accessories (hard, pointed or heavy
objects) to the ignition key. Such objects
could prevent the driver’s knee airbag from
inflating normally or could be propelled to
cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.
181)Do not attach accessories to the
lower portion of the driver’s side instrument
panel. Such objects could prevent the
driver’s knee airbag from inflating normally
or could be propelled to cause serious
injury if the airbag inflates.
182)Do not put packages, pets or other
objects between the airbags and the driver
or front passenger. It could affect airbag
performance, or could cause injury when
the airbag inflates.
183)Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a
danger of being burnt.
184)The airbag system is designed to
work only once. Once the airbags have
deployed, they will not work again. They
must promptly be replaced and we
recommend you to have the entire airbag
system inspected by a Fiat Dealership.
185)Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.186)Do not rest your head, arms or
elbows on the door, windows or the area in
which the Window bag is located to avoid
possible injury during airbag inflation.
187)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.
188)The side airbags and curtain airbags
are designed to supplement the driver and
passenger seat belts in certain side
impacts. Seat belts should always be worn
properly, and the driver and passenger
should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.
189)The side airbag and curtain airbag
inflate with great force. The driver and
passenger should not put their arms out
the window, and should not lean against
the door, in order to reduce risk of serious
or possible fatal injury from the deploying
side airbag and curtain airbag.
190)Do not allow any rear seat occupant
to hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce risk of injury from
the deploying side airbag. Special care
should be taken with children.
191)Do not place any objects near or in
front of the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side airbag
inflation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.
192)Do not install seat covers on seats
with side airbags. Do not re-cover seats
that have side airbags. This could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.193)Do not attach a microphone (A) or
any other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate such
as on the windscreen, side door glass,
front and rear pillars and roof side or assist
grips. When the curtain airbags inflate, the
microphone or other device or object will
be hurled with great force or the curtain
airbags may not activate correctly, resulting
in death or serious injury.
194)Do not allow the child to lean against
or close to the front door even if the child is
seated in a child restraint system. The
child’s head should also not be leaned
against or be close to the area where the
side airbag and curtain airbag are located.
It is dangerous if the side airbag and
curtain airbag inflate. Failure to follow all of
these instructions could lead to serious or
fatal injury to the child.
195)We recommend work around and on
the side airbags and curtain airbags
system to be done by a Fiat Dealership.
196)We recommend any maintenance
performed on or near the components of
the SRS to be performed by a Fiat
Dealership. Improper work on the SRS
components or wiring could result in
inadvertent deployment of the airbags, or
could render the SRS inoperative; either
situation could result in serious injury.
197)Do not modify your steering wheel,
seat belt retractor or any other SRS
components. For example, replacement of
the steering wheel, or modifications to the
front bumper or body structure can
adversely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
136
SAFETY

198)If your vehicle has received any
damage, we recommend you to have the
SRS inspected to ensure it is in proper
working order.
199)On vehicles with the side airbag, do
not modify your front seats, centre pillar
and centre console. It can adversely affect
SRS performance and lead to possible
injury.
200)If you found any tear, scratch, crack
or damage to the portion where the airbag
is stored, you should have the SRS
inspected by a Fiat Dealership.ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
Brake assist system (where
provided)
The brake assist system is a device
assisting drivers who cannot depress
the brake pedal firmly such as in
emergency stop situations and provides
greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed
suddenly, the brakes will be applied
with more force than usual.
201)
NOTE Once the brake assist system is
operational, it maintains great braking
force even if the brake pedal is lightly
released. To stop its operation,
completely remove your foot from the
brake pedal.
NOTE When the brake assist system is
in use while driving, you may feel the
brake pedal attempt to resist, the pedal
moves in small motions in conjunction
with the operation noise, or the vehicle
body and the steering wheel vibrate.
This occurs when the brake assist
system is operating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue
to depress the brake pedal.
NOTE When the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) indicator lamp is
illuminated, the brake assist system
may not function.Emergency stop signal system
(where provided)
This is a device that reduces the
possibility of rear end collisions by the
rapid and automatic blinking of the
hazard warning lamps to alert vehicles
approaching from behind during
sudden braking. When the emergency
brake system operates, the hazard
warning indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster blinks rapidly at the
same time.
NOTE Activating condition for the
emergency brake system > It activates
when all of the following conditions are
met.
The vehicle speed is approximately
55 km/h or higher.
The brake pedal has been
depressed, and the system judges that
it was sudden braking from the vehicle
deceleration and the operating
condition of the anti-lock brake system
(ABS).
Deactivating condition for the
emergency brake system > It
deactivates when one of the following
conditions is met.
The brake pedal is released.
The hazard warning flasher switch is
pressed.
The system judges that it was not
sudden braking from the vehicle
deceleration and the operating
137
condition of the anti-lock brake system
(ABS).

Fuse replacement
332) 333) 334) 335) 336) 337)
179)
1. Before replacing a fuse, always turn
off the electrical circuit concerned and
place the ignition switch in the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF.
2. Remove the fuse puller (A) from the
inside of the fuse block in the engine
compartment.
3. Referring to the fuse load capacity
table, check the fuse pertaining to the
problem.B. Fuse is OK
C. Blown fuse
NOTE If any system does not function
but the fuse corresponding to that
system is normal, there may be a fault
in the system elsewhere. We
recommend you to have your vehicle
checked.
4. Insert a new fuse of the same
capacity by using the fuse puller.
WARNING
332)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.
333)If the newly inserted fuse blows again
after a short time, we recommend you to
have the electrical system checked to find
the cause and rectify it.
334)Never use a fuse with a larger
capacity than specified or a substitute
(such as a cable or foil). Doing so could
cause the circuit wires to overheat and
create a fire.
335)Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other material.
336)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.
337)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.
IMPORTANT
179)If it is necessary to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly hit
the fuse box and the window wiper motor
with the water jet
