SAFETY
IMPORTANT The front airbags and/or
side bags may be deployed if the car is sub-
ject to heavy knocks involving the under-
body area, such as violent shocks against
steps, kerbs or low obstacles, the car
falling into big holes or hollows in the road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will
be released when the airbags are de-
ployed. The dust is not harmful and does
not indicate the beginning of a fire. Fur-
thermore, the surface of the deployed bag
and the interior of the car may be covered
in a dusty residue: this may irritate skin
and eyes. Wash with mild soap and wa-
ter in the event of exposure. IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in
which any of the safety devices are acti-
vated, take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership
to have the activated devices replaced and
to have the whole system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement op-
eration concerning the airbags must be
carried out only at Fiat Dealerships.
If you are having the car scrapped, have
the airbag system deactivated at a Fiat
Dealership first. If the car changes own-
ership, the new owner must be informed
of the method of use of the airbags and
the above warnings, and also be given this
“Owner’s Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags
and front side bags are deployed differ-
ently according to the type of collision.
Non-deployment of one of these devices
does not therefore indicate a system fault.
SIDE WINDOW BAGS - HEAD
PROTECTION fig. 18
(for versions/markets, were provided)
These consist of two “curtain” cushions,
one on the right and the other on the left
side of the car, located behind the side
coverings of the roof and covered by ap-
propriate finishings.
Window bags have been designed for pro-
tecting the head of front and rear occu-
pants in the event of a side-on collision,
thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side-on
crash, the system offers the best protec-
tion if you have a correct position on the
seat because this allows the side bags to
inflate correctly.

The fabric upholstery of your
car is designed to withstand
normal wear and tear for
a long time. Some precautions
are however needed. Avoid prolonged
rubbing against clothing accessories,
such as metal buckles, bosses, Velcro
strips and the like, which by applying
a high pressure on the fabric in a small
area could cause the breakage of some
threads and damage the upholstery.
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacu-
um cleaner. It is advisable to use a damp
brush on velvet upholstery.
Wipe the seats with a sponge soaked in
a solution of mild detergent and water.
Never use flammable prod-
ucts, such as petroleum
ether or modified petrol, to clean the
inside the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rub-
bing during cleaning may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the vehicle: these could ex-
plode. Aerosol cans must not be ex-
posed to temperatures exceeding
50 °C. When the vehicle is exposed to
sunlight, the temperature inside can
greatly exceed this value.
WARNING
INTERIOR
Check regularly that water is not trapped
under the mats (due to drops from shoes,
umbrellas, etc.), as this could cause the
sheet metal to rust. GENUINE LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR LEVER KNOB
These components must be cleaned with
mild soap and water only.
Never use spirits and/or alcohol-based
products.
Before using off-the-shelf products de-
signed for cleaning vehicle interiors, make
sure that they do not contain spirits and/
or alcohol-based substances.
If window cleaner accidentally drips onto
the steering wheel or gear lever knob,
wipe away immediately and then wash the
affected area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT When arranging a steering
wheel locking device, be careful not to dam-
age the leather upholstery.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts
with a damp cloth and a solution of water
and mild, non-abrasive detergent. To re-
move grease and tough stains, use products
designed specifically for cleaning plastics.
These have no solvents and have been de-
signed so that they do not alter the ap-
pearance and colour of the components.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol, petrols
and derivatives to clean the instrument
panel lens.
