2018 FIAT FULLBACK airbag off

Front passenger’s airbag indicator
(Club cab and Double cab)
The front passenger’s airbag indicator is
located in the instrument panel.
This indicator normally 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.
When the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch is turned OFF, the OFFindicator will stay on to show that the
front passenger’s airbag is not
operational. When the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch is turned ON,
the OFF indicator goes off, and the ON
indicator comes on for approximately
1 minute to show that the front
passenger’s airbag is operational.

To turn an airbag off (Club cab and
Double cab)
182)
To turn an airbag off, follow these steps:
1. Insert the key into the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch,
and turn it to the “OFF” position.
2. Remove the key from the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON”
position or put the operation mode in
ON. The front passenger’s airbag OFF
indicator lamp will stay on.
(*) — Type 1; (**) — Type 2The front passenger’s airbag is now
deactivated and will not deploy until
switched on again.
Driver’s and front passenger’s
airbag system
The driver’s airbag is located under the
padded cover in the middle of the
steering wheel. The front passenger’s
airbag is contained in the instrument
panel above the glove box.
The driver’s airbag inflates at two
different rates according to the severity
of the impact (if so equipped).
The driver’s airbag and the front
passenger’s airbag are designed to
inflate at the same time even if the
passenger seat is not occupied.

178)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.
179)Older children should be seated,
properly wearing the seat belt, with an
appropriate booster seat if needed.
180)Extreme Hazard! NEVER use a
rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
181)Do not fit any accessory that makes
the indicator impossible to see, and do not
cover the indicator with a sticker. You would
not be able to verify the status of the
passenger airbag system.182)To reduce risk of serious or fatal injury:
always turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position or put the operation mode
in OFF, before operating the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Failure
to do so could adversely affect the airbag
performance; Wait at least 60 seconds to
operate the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch after turning the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position or putting
the operation mode in OFF. The SRS airbag
system is designed to retain enough
voltage to deploy the airbag; Always
remove the key from the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch after operating that
switch. Failure to do so could lead to
improper position of the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch; Do not turn OFF the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
except when a child restraint system is
fitted to the front passenger seat; If the OFF
indicator does not come on when the front
passenger’s airbag ONOFF switch is turned
OFF, do not fit a child restraint system to
the front passenger seat. We recommend
you to have the system inspected by a Fiat
Dealership; if the OFF indicator remains on
when the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch is turned ON, do not allow anyone
to sit on the front passenger seat. We
recommend you to have the system
inspected by a Fiat Dealership.
183)Do not apply stickers or other objects
to the steering wheel, the dashboard in the
passenger side airbag area and the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on
the passenger side of the dashboard since
they could interfere with correct inflation of
the passenger airbag and also cause
serious injury to the passengers.184)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.
185)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.
186)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.
See fig. 233.
187)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.
188)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.
189)Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a
danger of being burnt.
190)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.
191)Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.

Fuse replacement
344) 345) 346) 347) 348) 349)
182)
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 into
the same place at the fuse block.
WARNING
344)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.
345)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.
346)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.
347)Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other material.
348)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.
349)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
182)If it is necessary to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly hit
the fuse box and the window wiper motor
