FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is fitted with front airbags for the
driver and the passenger, and with a knee
bag on the driver’s side (for versions/mar -
kets, where provided).
The front driver/passenger airbags and the
driver’s knee bag (for versions/markets,
where provided) have been designed to
protect the occupants of the front seats
in the event of head-on crashes of medi-
um/high severity, by placing the bag be-
tween the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Non-activation in other types of crash
(side-on collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs,
etc.) is therefore not a sign of system mal-
function.
An electronic control unit causes the bag
to inflate in the event of a head-on crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously, placing
itself between the front occupant’s body
and the structures which could cause in-
jury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
The front driver/passenger airbags and the
driver’s knee bag (for versions/markets,
where provided) are not a replacement
for, but rather complement the use of,
seat belts, which should always be worn,
as specified by law in Europe and most
non-European countries. The volume of the front airbags at maxi-
mum inflation fills most of the space
between the steering wheel and the dri-
ver and between the dashboard and the
passenger.
In the event of an impact, someone not
wearing a seat belt will move forward and
come into contact with the bag which is
still in the opening stage. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in such
a case.
Front airbags may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in collisions against highly strainable ob-
jects that do not affect the front surface
of the car (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, piles of gravel etc.);
❒jamming of the car underneath othervehicles or protective barriers (e.g. un-
derneath a truck or a guard rail); in this
case, the bags would offer no addition-
al protection with respect to the seat
belt and their deployment is unneces-
sary. In these cases, non-deployment of
the airbag does not necessarily indicate
a system malfunction.
Do not apply stickers or oth-
er objects on the steering
wheel, passenger side airbag cover or
upper side upholstery. Do not place
objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger side dashboard because
these could interfere with the correct
opening of the airbag and cause se-
vere injury to occupants.
WARNING
The airbags are not deployed in the event
of minor collisions (for which the with-
holding action of the seat belts is suffi-
cient). For this reason, the seat belt must
be worn at all times. In the case of side-
on collisions, the seat belts hold occupants
in the correct position and prevent them
from being thrown out of the car by a very
violent collision.

SAFETY
Never rest your head, arms
or elbows on the doors, on
the windows or in the window bag
area as this could cause injuries dur-
ing the inflation phase.
WARNING
Never lean your head, arms
or elbows out of the window.
WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light ¬does not turn on or if it stays on when
travelling (together with the message
on the multifunction display, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided), there
could be a failure in the safety sys-
tems; in this event, airbags or pre-
tensioners may not trigger in case of
impact or, in a minor number of cas-
es, they could trigger accidentally.
Contact a Fiat Dealership immedi-
ately to have the system checked.
WARNINGDo not cover the backrest of
front and rear seats with
trims or covers that are not suitable
to be used with side bags.

SAFETY
Do not wash the seats with
water or steam under pres-
sure (by hand or in automatic wash-
ing stations for seats).
WARNING
Front airbag deployment
takes place at a higher level
of impact than the pretensioners. For
collisions in the range between the
two thresholds, it is normal for only
the pretensioners to be activated.
WARNING
Do not hang rigid objects on
the coat hooks and the sup-
port handles.
WARNING
Airbags do not replace seat
belts, but increase their effi-
ciency. Furthermore, since front
airbags are not deployed in low
speed collisions, side-on collisions,
rear-end shunts or roll-overs, the pas-
sengers are protected only by the
seat belts which must therefore be
fastened at all times.

STARTING
AND DRIVINGIMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership to have the hand-
brake adjusted.
When the handbrake is on and the igni-
tion key is at MAR, the instrument panel
warning light
xwill come on.
To release the handbrake, proceed as
follows:
❒pull up slightly on the lever and press
release button A;
❒hold button A down and lower the
lever. The xwarning light on the in-
strument panel will go out.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out
this operation to prevent the car from
moving accidentally.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the hand- brake;
❒engage a gear (first gear if the vehicleis parked uphill or reverse if it is facing
downhill) and leave the wheels turned.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is
also advisable to block the wheels with
a wedge or stone. Do not leave the key in
the ignition switch as this drains the bat-
tery. Always remove the key when you
leave the car.
Never leave children unat-
tended in the car. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving
the car and take it with you.
WARNING

HANDBRAKE fig. 1
The handbrake is located between the
two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the
handbrake. Four or five notches are nor-
mally sufficient to secure the car on flat
terrain, while nine or ten may be neces-
sary on a steep slope with the car loaded.
USING THE MANUAL
GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch ped-
al down fully and shift the gear lever into
one of the required positions (a diagram
is shown on the knob fig. 2).
IMPORTANT Reverse may be engaged
only when the car is at a standstill. With
the engine running, wait for at least 2 sec-
onds with the clutch pedal fully depressed
before engaging reverse to prevent dam-
age to the gears and grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift ring
A under the knob and at the same time
move the gearshift lever to the right and
then backwards fig. 2.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should be
used only to change gear. Do not drive
with your foot resting on the clutch ped-
al, however slightly. For versions/markets,
where provided, the electronic clutch
control can intervene if it interprets the
incorrect driving style as a fault.

SERVICE
AND CARE
The fabric upholstery of your
car is designed to withstand
normal wear and tear for
a long time. Some precautions
are however needed. Avoid prolonged
rubbing against clothing accessories,
such as metal buckles, bosses, Velcro
strips and the like, which by applying
a high pressure on the fabric in a small
area could cause the breakage of some
threads and damage the upholstery.
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacu-
um cleaner. It is advisable to use a damp
brush on velvet upholstery.
Wipe the seats with a sponge soaked in
a solution of mild detergent and water.
Never use flammable prod-
ucts, such as petroleum
ether or modified petrol, to clean the
inside the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rub-
bing during cleaning may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the vehicle: these could ex-
plode. Aerosol cans must not be ex-
posed to temperatures exceeding
50 °C. When the vehicle is exposed to
sunlight, the temperature inside can
greatly exceed this value.
WARNING
INTERIOR
Check regularly that water is not trapped
under the mats (due to drops from shoes,
umbrellas, etc.), as this could cause the
sheet metal to rust. GENUINE LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR LEVER KNOB
These components must be cleaned with
mild soap and water only.
Never use spirits and/or alcohol-based
products.
Before using off-the-shelf products de-
signed for cleaning vehicle interiors, make
sure that they do not contain spirits and/
or alcohol-based substances.
If window cleaner accidentally drips onto
the steering wheel or gear lever knob,
wipe away immediately and then wash the
affected area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT When arranging a steering
wheel locking device, be careful not to dam-
age the leather upholstery.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts
with a damp cloth and a solution of water
and mild, non-abrasive detergent. To re-
move grease and tough stains, use products
designed specifically for cleaning plastics.
These have no solvents and have been de-
signed so that they do not alter the ap-
pearance and colour of the components.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol, petrols
and derivatives to clean the instrument
panel lens.
