SAFETY
Have the airbag system
checked by a Fiat Dealership
if the car was stolen, if theft was at-
tempted, or if the car was subjected
to vandalism or flooding.
WARNING
Airbags may be deployed if
another vehicle crashes if the
key is inserted and at MAR also if the
engine is not running and the car is
stationary. For this reason, children
must never sit on the front seat, even
if the car is not moving. On the other
hand, if the key is inserted and at
STOP, none of the safety devices (air-
bag or pretensioners) will be deployed
in a collision. Non deployment of the
devices in this case does not indicate
a system fault.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying
objects in your lap, in front
of your chest or between your lips (pi-
pe, pencils, etc.): they could cause se-
vere injury if the airbag is deployed.
WARNING
When the ignition key is tur-
ned to MAR, the warning li-
ght
“
(with passenger’s front air bag
active) turns on and flashes for few
seconds to remind that passenger’s air
bag will be deployed in a crash, af-
ter which it should go off.
WARNING
Do not wash the seats with
water or steam under pres-
sure (by hand or in automatic wa-
shing station for seats).
WARNING
Front air bag 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 attach rigid objects
to the coat hooks and sup-
port handles.
WARNING
An airbag is not a replace-
ment for the seat belts but
increases their efficiency. Furthermo-
re, since front air bags are not de-
ployed in low speed collisions, side
collisions, rear-end shunts or roll-
overs, the passengers are only pro-
tected by the seat belts which must
be fastened at all times.
