Fiat SCUDO - Lateral Airbags

Safety

Lateral airbags
This system protects the driver and front
passenger in the event of a serious side impact,
limiting the risk of injury to the chest, between
the hip and the shoulder.
Each lateral airbag is tted in the seat backrest
frame, on the door side.
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inates between the front
occupant's abdomen and head and the
associated door trim panel.
Curtain airbags (Row 2 & 3)
Feel, Shine, Business Lounge
If tted to your vehicle, this is a system that
contributes towards greater protection for
passengers (with the exception of the centre
seats) in the event of a serious side impact, in
order to limit the risk of injury to the side of the
head.
Each curtain airbag is built into the pillars and
the upper passenger compartment area.
Deployment
They are deployed on one side in the event
of a serious side impact applied to all or part
of the side impact zone, perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on a
horizontal plane and directed from the outside
towards the inside of the vehicle.
The curtain airbag inates between the outer
rear passenger and the windows.
Malfunction
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp lights up on the instrument panel.
Contact a Fiat Dealership or a qualied
workshop to have the system checked.
The airbags may not be deployed in the event of
a serious impact.
In the event of a minor impact or bump at
the side of the vehicle or if the vehicle
rolls over, the airbags may not be deployed.
In the event of a rear or front collision, none of
the lateral airbags are deployed.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully e󰀨ective,
observe the safety recommendations
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Fasten your seat belt and position it correctly.
Do not place anything between the occupants
and the airbags (e.g. child, animal, object), do
not x or attach anything near or in the path of
the airbags, as this could cause injuries when
they are deployed.
Never modify the original denition of the
vehicle, particularly in the area directly around
the airbags.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns to
the head, chest or arms cannot be ruled out
when an airbag is deployed. The bag inates
almost instantly (within a few milliseconds)
then deates within the same time,
discharging the hot gas via openings provided
for this purpose.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work must be carried out only by a Fiat
Dealership or a qualied workshop
