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.

solution.
2. Dip cloth in fresh water and wring it
out well. Using this cloth, wipe off the
detergent thoroughly.
NOTE Do not use cleaners,
conditioners, and protectants
containing silicones or wax. Such
products, when applied to the

cause reflections on the windscreen
and obscure vision. Also, if such
products get on the switches of the
electrical accessories, it may lead to
failure of these accessories.Upholstery
1. To maintain the value of your new
vehicle, handle the upholstery carefully
and keep the interior clean. Use a
vacuum cleaner and brush to clean the
seats. If stained, synthetic leather
should be cleaned with an appropriate
cleaner. Cloth fabrics can be cleaned
with either upholstery cleaner or a mild
soap and water solution.
2. Clean the carpeting with a vacuum
cleaner and remove any stains with
carpet cleaner. Oil and grease can be
removed by lightly dabbing with a clean
colourfast cloth and stain remover.

detergent thoroughly.
3. Apply leather protecting agent to the
genuine leather surface.
NOTE If genuine leather is wet with
water or is washed in water, wipe off
water as quickly as possible with a dry,
soft cloth. If left damp, mildew may
grow.
NOTE Organic solvents such as
benzine, kerosene, alcohol and petrol,
acid or alkaline solvents may discolour
the genuine leather surface. Be sure to
use neutral detergents.NOTE Remove oil substances quickly
as they can stain genuine leather.
NOTE The genuine leather surface may
harden and shrink if it is exposed to
direct rays of the sun for long hours.
When your vehicle is parked, place it in
the shade as much as possible.

vehicle interior rises in summer, vinyl
products left on the genuine leather
seat may deteriorate and stick to the
seat.
WARNING
400)Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is
exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
401)Never use flammable products, such
as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean
the inside of the car. The electrostatic
