If the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON while a seat belt is not
fastened, the warning lamp comes on
for approximately 30 seconds to remind
the rear passenger to fasten the seat
belt.
If the vehicle is driven with the seat belt
still unfastened, the warning lamps
come on for approximately another
30 seconds. (This illumination happens
only the first time the vehicle starts
moving with the seat belt still
unfastened.)
The warning lamps go off when the
seat belt is fastened.
NOTE The warning lamp comes on
even if no one is sitting on the rear
seats.
NOTE If a seat belt is unfastened while
the vehicle is being driven, the tone
sounds for approximately 1 second and
the warning lamp comes on for
approximately 30 seconds. At the same
time, the warning lamp for the seat
where the seat belt is not fastened
comes on.

SAFETY

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.

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.
207)
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
condition of the anti-lock brake system
(ABS).
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
(where provided)
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps
prevent the wheels from locking up
when braking. This helps maintain
vehicle drivability and steering wheel
handling.
Driving hints
Always keep a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you. Even if your
vehicle is equipped with the ABS, leave
a greater braking distance when:
Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
Driving with tyre chains installed.
Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other
differences in surface height.
Driving on uneven road surfaces.
Operation of ABS is not restricted
situations where brakes are applied
suddenly. This system may also prevent
the wheels from locking when you drive
over manholes, steel roadwork plates,
road markings, or any uneven road
surface.
When the ABS is in use, you may feel
the brake pedal pulsation and the
vibrations of the vehicle body and
steering wheel. It may also feel as if the
pedal resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump the
brake, which will result in reduced
braking performance.
139

An operation noise is emitted from the
engine compartment or feel a shock
from the brake pedal when start driving
immediately after starting the engine.
These are normal sound or operation
that the ABS makes when performing a
self-check. It does not indicate a
malfunction.
The ABS can be used after the vehicle
has reached a speed over
approximately 10 km/h. It stops
working when the vehicle slows below
7 km/h.
208) 209) 210) 211) 212) 213) 214) 215) 216)
After driving on icy roads
After driving on snow or icy roads,
remove any snow and ice which may
have be left around the wheels. On
vehicles that have an ABS, be careful
not to damage the wheel speed
sensors (A) or the cables located at
each wheel.Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
(where provided)
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
takes overall control of the anti-lock
brake system, active stability control
function and active traction control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s
control and traction. Please read this
section in conjunction with the page on
the anti-lock brake system, active
stability control function and active
traction control function.
217) 218) 219) 220)
NOTE An operation noise may be
emitted from the engine compartment
in the following situations. The sound is
associated with checking the
operations of the ESC. At this time, you
may feel a shock from the brake pedal if
you depress it. These do not indicate a
malfunction:
When the ignition switch is set to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON.
When the vehicle is driven for a while
after the engine is turned on.
NOTE When the ESC is activated, you
may feel a vibration in the vehicle body
or hear a whining sound from the
engine compartment. This indicates
that the system is operating normally. It
does not indicate a malfunction.NOTE When the anti-lock brake
system warning lamp is illuminated, the
ESC is not active.
NOTE On vehicles with the rear
differential lock, the ESC and ABS
functions are suspended while the rear
differential lock is activated. ESC
indicator lamp, ESC OFF indicator lamp
and ABS warning lamp are illuminated
while these functions are suspended. It
does not indicate a problem. When the
rear differential lock is disengaged,
these lamps go out and function again.
Refer to “ABS warning lamp” and “ESC
indicator lamp, ESC OFF indicator
lamp”.
Electronic Stability Control function
The electronic stability control function
is designed to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle on slippery roads
or during rapid steering maneuvers. It
works by controlling the engine output
and the brake on each wheel.
