The airbags are not deployed in the
event of minor frontal impacts (for which
the restraining action of the seat belts is
sufficient).
Seat belts must always be worn. In the
event of frontal impacts they guarantee
correct positioning of the passenger.
Front airbag driver's side
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special
compartment in the centre of the
steering wheel fig. 109.
Passenger side front airbag
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special recess in the
dashboard fig. 110; this bag has a
larger volume than that of the driver's.Passenger side front airbag and
child restraint systems
Rearward facing child restraint systems
mustNEVERbe fitted on the front seat
with an active passenger side airbag
since in the event of an impact the
airbag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
ALWAYScomply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger
side sun visor fig. 111.Deactivating passenger front airbag
and seat-mounted side bag for
pelvis, chest and shoulders
protection
If a child must be carried on the front
seat in a rearward facing child restraint
system, deactivate the passenger side
front airbag and front side bag.
To deactivate the airbags use the
display Menu (see the instructions in the
"Display" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
fig. 112 The
LED is present at the
middle of the instrument panel.
Moving the ignition device to MAR
switches on the LED for about
8 seconds. If not, contact a Fiat
Dealership. During the first seconds, the
activation of the LED does not actually
show the passenger protection status,
but only checks its correct operation.
After a test of a few seconds, the LED
will indicate the status of the passenger
airbag protection.

SAFETY
92)When there is an active passenger
airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing
child restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the child
regardless of the severity of the impact.
Therefore, always deactivate the passenger
side airbag when a rearward facing child
restraint system is installed on the front
passenger seat. The front passenger seat
must also be positioned back as far as
possible in order to prevent the child
restraint system from coming into contact
with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate
the passenger airbag as soon as the child
restraint system has been removed.
93)To deactivate the airbags using the
instrument panel menu, see the description
in the "Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter, "Menu Options" paragraph.
94)Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.
95)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.
96)Never lean your head, arms or elbows
out of the window.
97)If, when the ignition device is turned to
MAR, the
warning light does not switch
on or stays on whilst driving, a fault may
have occurred in the restraint systems. In
this case the airbags or pretensioners may
not be deployed in an impact or, in a lower
number of cases, they may be deployed
accidentally. Contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.98)In some versions, in case of a LED
failure (located on the plate of the
instrument panel), thewarning light on
the instrument panel turns on and the
passenger side airbags are deactivated.
99)On cars with side bags, do not cover
the front seat backrests with extra covers.
100)Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between your
lips (pipe, pencils, etc.): they could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
101)If the car has been stolen or in the
case of attempt to steal it, if it has been
subjected to vandalism or floods, have the
airbag system checked by a Fiat
Dealership.102)If the ignition device is at MAR, even if
the engine is switched off, airbags may be
deployed when the vehicle is stationary
and hit by another vehicle. Therefore, even
if the vehicle is stationary, when an active
front passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install rearward facing child restraint
systems on the front passenger seat.
Deployment of the airbag following an
impact could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Therefore, always deactivate the
passenger side airbag when a rearward
facing child restraint system is installed on
the front passenger seat. The front
passenger seat must also be positioned
back as far as possible in order to prevent
the child restraint system from coming into
contact with the dashboard. Immediately
reactivate the passenger airbag as soon as
the child restraint system has been
removed. Also remember that, if the
ignition device is set to STOP, none of the
safety devices (airbags or pretensioners)
will be deployed in the event of collision.
Non-deployment in such cases does not
indicate a system malfunction.
103)Malfunction of the
warning light is
indicated by the activation of an airbag
failure symbol and a dedicated message
on the instrument panel display (or, for
versions where provided, by the activation
of a blinking generic failure warning light).
The pyrotechnic charges are not disabled.
Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
104)The airbag deployment threshold is
higher than that of the pretensioners. For
collisions in the range between the two
thresholds, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.

SAFETY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
WARNING
INTERIOR FITTINGS
Do not travel with the storage compartment open: it may injure the front seat occupants in the event of an accident.
The cigar lighter gets extremely hot. Handle it carefully and make sure that children don’t use it: risk of fire and/or burns.
Do not use the ashtray as a waste paper basket: it may catch fire in contact with cigarette stubs.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION SYSTEMS
The catalytic converter and particulate filter (DPF) reach very high temperatures during operation. Therefore do not park the
vehicle on flammable materials (e.g. grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.
POWER SUPPLY
Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
WHEELS
DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided
with Rim Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
