This car is also equipped with a
second pretensioner (fitted in the kick
plate area). Its activation is signalled by
the shortening of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not involve any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events
(floods, sea storms, etc.), the device
has been affected by water and mud, it
must be replaced.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the chest and pelvis.LOAD LIMITERS
To increase occupant safety, the seat
belt retractors contain a load limiter to
dose the force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining
action in the case of frontal collisions.
GENERAL WARNINGS
FOR USING THE SEAT
BELTS
Seat belts are also to be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the case of impact is greatly reduced
for them and the unborn child if they
are wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes over the pelvis and under
the abdomen (see fig. 69). While pregnancy increases, the driver
must adjust both seat and steering
wheel to have full control over the
vehicle (pedals and steering wheel
should be easily accessed).
The maximum clearance should be
kept between the abdomen and the
steering wheel.
The belt must not be twisted.
The upper part must pass over the
shoulder and cross the chest
diagonally. The lower part must adhere
to the hips not to the abdomen.
Never use devices (clips, clamps, etc.)
that hold the seat belt away from your
body fig. 70.

SAFETY

SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) - AIRBAG
25)
The vehicle may be equipped with:
❒ front driver airbag;
❒ front passenger airbag;
❒ driver’s side knee bag;
❒ driver and passenger front side
bags for pelvis, chest and shoulder
protection (Side bags);
❒ side bags for head protection of
front seat passengers
(window bag);
❒ side bags for head protection
of the front seat passengers and
rear side seat passengers
(for versions/markets, where
provided) (window bag).
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags and
the driver’s knee bag (for
versions/markets, where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in the
event of frontal impacts of
medium/high severity, by placing the
bag between the occupant and the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-activation in other types
of collisions (side collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the
bag inflate
in the event of a frontal impact.
The bag will inflate instantaneously
placing itself between the front
occupants body and the structures
which could cause injury. It will deflate
immediately afterwards.
Front airbags are not a replacement of
but complementary to the seat belts,
which you are recommended to
always wear, as specified by law in
Europe and most non-European
countries.In the event of an impact, someone not
wearing a seat belt could move
forward and come into contact with a
bag which is still in the opening phase.
The protection offered by the bag is
compromised in these circumstances.
The front airbags (driver, passenger,
driver’s knee bags) are designed and
calibrated to protect front seat
passengers wearing seat belts.
Their volume at the moment of
maximum inflation fills most of the
space between the steering wheel and
the driver, between the lower post
guard and the knees on passenger
side and between the dashboard and
the passenger.
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 head-on collisions, they
ensure the correct positioning of the
occupant.

115
Driver’s front airbag
(A-fig. 79)
This consists of an instant inflating bag
contained in a special recess in the
centre of the steering wheel.
79DVDF0S0190c
Passenger’s front airbag
(B-fig. 80)
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special recess in the
dashboard: this bag has a larger
volume than that on the driver side.
80DVDF0S0464c
Passenger’s front airbag and
child restraint systems
25)
Rearward facing child restraint systems
must NEVERbe 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. 81).

STARTING AND DRIVING
122
SPORT function
(1.4 16V versions – for versions /
markets, where provided)
On these versions, the driver can also
use the SPORT function which enables
a sporty driving setting by intervening
on gear changes, the engine control
unit and the steering. To activate this
function, press the SPORT button
fig. 90 on the dashboard.
90DVDF0S0194c
ECO function
The ECO function, which optimises the
gearbox, can be activated only with
AUTO mode on.
This function is activated by pressing
button E fig. 88 on the trim next to the
gear lever (on 1.2 8V versions), or by
pressing the ECO button fig. 89 on the
dashboard (on 0.9 TwinAir 85 HP
versions).
With the ECO function active, the
display will show the current gear and
the words AUTO and ECO; the system
will select the most suitable gear
depending on the car speed, engine
rpm and intensity with which the
accelerator pedal is pressed, with the
aim of limiting fuel consumption.
89DVDF0S0193c
SHIFT PADDLES
(for versions/markets, where provided)
fig. 91
Shifting can be managed sequentially
via the shift paddles on the steering
wheel.
❒ To use the steering wheel paddles,
the gear lever A-fig. 88 must be in
the middle position between
+ and –.
To shift up: pull the right paddle +
towards the steering wheel.
To shift down:pull the left paddle –
towards the steering wheel.
NOTE Shifting up (or down) is only
permitted if the engine rpm allow it.
NOTE For correct use of the system,
you are advised only to use your right
foot to operate the pedal unit.
