Manual deactivation of
front passenger side
airbag and side bag
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If a child must of necessity be carried
on the front seat facing backwards, the
front passenger side airbag and side
bag for chest protection (for
versions/markets where provided) can
be deactivated.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the
passenger side front airbag and side
bag for chest protection (for
versions/markets where provided), refer
to the "Display" paragraph in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter. The LED on the button
switches on in case of deactivation.
The LED next to the
fig. 168 symbol
on the dashboard shows the passenger
side protection status. If the LED is off,
the passenger side protection is
activated.
When the passenger side front airbag
and side bag for chest protection
(for versions/markets where provided)
are activated again, the LED switches
off.
When the vehicle is started (key in
MAR-ON position), the LED turns on for
approx. 8 seconds, provided that at
least 5 seconds have elapsed from the
previous switching off. If not, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is switched off/on again in
less than 5 seconds the LED may
remain off. In this case, to check
correct LED operation, switch the
vehicle off, wait at least 5 seconds and
switch on again.
During the first 8 seconds, the
activation of the LED does not actually
show the passenger protection status,
but only checks its correct operation.
