GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

27)Once the dead lock system is engaged
it is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Therefore, before
engaging the system check that there is no
one left inside. If the remote control battery
is flat, the system can be disengaged only
by inserting the key metal insert in either of
the door locks as described previously: in
this case the device remains active only for
the rear doors.
28)This spring loaded system has
activation forces that were designed for
optimum comfort. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs and close the doors
spontaneously.
29)On vehicles with the rear bumper,
never swing down the rear gate because
the rear gate could be damaged.
30)Never close the rear gate with the link
or wire left unhooked.SEATS

NOTE Do not climb or sit on the
armrest. Doing so could damage the
armrest.
NOTE The top surface of the armrest
contains a cup holder for rear seat
occupants. Refer to “Cup holder”.
WARNING
31)Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident. After
adjustments are made, ensure the seating
is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
32)After releasing the adjustment lever,
always check that the seat is locked on the
guides by trying to move it back and forth.
If it is not locked, the seat may move
unexpectedly and make you lose control of
the vehicle.33)For maximum safety, keep the back of
your seat upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis.
34)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking, with
possible impact with of the passengers.
35)It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle.
Also, the cargo area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by children. In
a collision, people or children riding
unrestrained in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
36)Do not allow people or children to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts, and
make sure that everyone travelling in your
vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt,
or in the case of a child is strapped in a
child restraint.
37)To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking,
the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the
seat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious
injury, when the seatback is reclined.
38)Make sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for correct
and safe operation.
39)Do not place a cushion or the like
between your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head
restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.40)The reclining mechanism of the front
manual seat's seatback is spring loaded,
causing it to fold the seatback forward
when the lock lever is operated. When
using the lever, sit close to the seatback or
hold it with your hand to control its return
motion.
41)When sliding the seats, be careful not
to catch your hand or foot.
42)If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat, when sliding or reclining the seat
rearward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers.
IMPORTANT
10)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.

SBR SYSTEM
Seat belt reminder
(where provided)
If the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON while the driver's and the
front passenger's seat belt is not
fastened, the warning lamp comes on
and the tone sounds for about
6 seconds to remind the driver and the
front passenger to fasten the seat belt.
If the vehicle is driven with the seat belt
still unfastened, the warning lamp will
blink and the tone will sound
intermittently until the seat belt is
fastened.
63)
NOTE If the seat belt subsequently
remains unfastened, the warning lamp
and the tone will issue further warningseach time the vehicle starts moving
from a stop.
For the front passenger seat, the
warning function works only while a
person is sitting on the seat (Double
cab).
When the luggage is placed on the
front passenger seat, a sensor in the
seat cushion may, depending on the
weight and position of the luggage,
cause the warning tone to sound and
the warning lamp to come on (Double
cab).
Adjustable seat belt anchor (front
seats on Club cab and Double cab)
The seat belt anchor height can be
adjusted. To move the anchor, pull the
lock knob (A) and slide the anchor to
the desired position. Release the lock
knob to lock the anchor into position.

WARNING
118)When adjusting the seat belt anchor,
set it at a position that is sufficiently high so
that the belt will make full contact with your
shoulder but will not touch your neck.
PRETENSIONERS
AND FORCE LIMITER
SYSTEM
(where provided)
119) 120) 121) 122)
64) 65) 66) 67)
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat
equipped with airbags each have a
pretensioner seat belt and force limiter
system.
Pretensioner system
When the ignition switch or the
operation mode is under the following
conditions, if there is a frontal impact or
a side impact (vehicles equipped with
SRS side airbags and SRS curtain
airbags) severe enough to injure the
driver and/or front passenger, the
pretensioner system will retract their
respective seat belts instantaneously,
thus maximizing the seat belt’s
effectiveness.
Except for vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system: the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START”
position.
Vehicles equipped with the keyless
operation system: the operation mode
is in ON.
NOTE The pretensioner seat belts will
be activated if the vehicle suffers a
severe impact, even if the seat belts are
not worn.NOTE The pretensioner seat belts are
designed to work only once. After the
pretensioner seat belts have been
activated, we recommend you to have
them replaced by a Fiat Dealership.
SRS warning lamp (where provided)
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS
airbags and the pre-tensioner seat
belts. Refer to “SRS warning lamp”.
Force limiter system
In the event of a collision, each force
limiter system will effectively absorb the
load applied to the seat belt so as to
minimize the impact to the passenger.
WARNING
119)The pretensioner may be used only
once. After it is triggered, have it replaced
at a Fiat Dealership.
120)Removing or otherwise tampering
with pretensioner and seat belt
components is strictly prohibited. Any
intervention on these components must be
performed by qualified and authorised
technicians. Always go to a Fiat Dealership.
121)For maximum safety, keep the
backrest upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the
seat belts for both the front and rear seats!
Travelling without wearing seat belts will
increase the risk of serious injury and even
death in the event of an accident.

SAFETY

Installing a child
restraint system to the
lower anchorage
(ISOFIX child restraint mountings of
Double cab)
143)
Your vehicle’s rear seat is fitted with
lower anchorages for attaching a child
restraint system with ISOFIX mountings.
Child restraint systems
with ISOFIX mountings
(Double cab)
(where provided)
The child restraint system is designed
only for seats that incorporate lower
anchorages. Retain the child restraint
system using the lower anchorages.
It is not necessary to retain the child
restraint system using the vehicle’s seat
belts.
A. Child restraint system connectors
To install
1. Remove any foreign material in or
around the connectors and ensure the
vehicle seat belt is in its normal storage

SAFETY

156)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.
157)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.
158)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.
159)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.
160)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.
161)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.
162)Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a
danger of being burnt.163)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.
164)Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.
165)Do not rest your head, arms or
elbows on the door, windows or the area in
which the Window bag is located to avoid
possible injury during airbag inflation.
166)The airbag does not replace seat
belts but increases their efficiency.
Furthermore, since front airbags are not
deployed in low-speed frontal impacts,
side impacts, rear shunts or roll-overs, the
passengers are protected only by the seat
belts which must therefore be fastened at
all times.
167)The side airbags and curtain airbags
are designed to supplement the driver and
passenger seat belts in certain side
impacts. Seat belts should always be worn
properly, and the driver and passenger
should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.
168)The side airbag and curtain airbag
inflate with great force. The driver and
passenger should not put their arms out
the window, and should not lean against
the door, in order to reduce risk of serious
or possible fatal injury from the deploying
side airbag and curtain airbag.
169)Do not allow any rear seat occupant
to hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce risk of injury from
the deploying side airbag. Special care
should be taken with children.170)Do not place any objects near or in
front of the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side airbag
inflation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.
171)Do not install seat covers on seats
with side airbags. Do not re-cover seats
that have side airbags. This could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.
172)Do not attach a microphone (A) or
any other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate such
as on the windscreen, side door glass,
front and rear pillars and roof side or assist
grips. When the curtain airbags inflate, the
microphone or other device or object will
be hurled with great force or the curtain
airbags may not activate correctly, resulting
in death or serious injury.
173)Do not allow the child to lean against
or close to the front door even if the child is
seated in a child restraint system. The
child’s head should also not be leaned
against or be close to the area where the
side airbag and curtain airbag are located.
It is dangerous if the side airbag and
curtain airbag inflate. Failure to follow all of
these instructions could lead to serious or
fatal injury to the child.
174)We recommend work around and on
the side airbags and curtain airbags
system to be done by a Fiat Dealership.
175)We recommend any maintenance
performed on or near the components of
the SRS to be performed by a Fiat
Dealership. Improper work on the SRS
components or wiring could result in
inadvertent deployment of the airbags, or
could render the SRS inoperative; either
situation could result in serious injury.
125

176)Do not modify your steering wheel,
seat belt retractor or any other SRS
components. For example, replacement of
the steering wheel, or modifications to the
front bumper or body structure can
adversely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
177)If your vehicle has received any
damage, we recommend you to have the
SRS inspected to ensure it is in proper
working order.
178)On vehicles with the side airbag, do
not modify your front seats, centre pillar
and centre console. It can adversely affect
SRS performance and lead to possible
injury.
179)If you found any tear, scratch, crack
or damage to the portion where the airbag
is stored, you should have the SRS
inspected by a Fiat Dealership.ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
Brake assist system (where
provided)
The brake assist system is a device
assisting drivers who cannot depress
the brake pedal firmly such as in
emergency stop situations and provides
greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed
suddenly, the brakes will be applied
with more force than usual.
180)
NOTE Once the brake assist system is
operational, it maintains great braking
force even if the brake pedal is lightly
released. To stop its operation,
completely remove your foot from the
brake pedal.
NOTE When the brake assist system is
in use while driving, you may feel the
brake pedal attempt to resist, the pedal
moves in small motions in conjunction
with the operation noise, or the vehicle
body and the steering wheel vibrate.
This occurs when the brake assist
system is operating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue
to depress the brake pedal.
NOTE When the active stability &
traction control (ASTC) indicator lamp is
illuminated, the brake assist system
may not function.Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
(where provided)
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps
prevent the wheels from locking up
when braking. This helps maintain
vehicle drivability and steering wheel
handling.
Driving hints
Always keep a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you. Even if your
vehicle is equipped with the ABS, leave
a greater braking distance when:
Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
Driving with tyre chains installed.
Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other
differences in surface height.
Driving on uneven road surfaces.
Operation of ABS is not restricted
situations where brakes are applied
suddenly. This system may also prevent
the wheels from locking when you drive
over manholes, steel roadwork plates,
road markings, or any uneven road
surface.
When the ABS is in use, you may feel
the brake pedal pulsation and the
vibrations of the vehicle body and
steering wheel. It may also feel as if the
pedal resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump the
brake, which will result in reduced
braking performance.
126
SAFETY

DRIVING, ALCOHOL
AND DRUGS
Drunk driving is one of the most
frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously
impaired even with blood alcohol levels
far below the legal minimum. If you
have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride
with a designated non-drinking driver,
call a cab or a friend, or use public
transportation. Drinking coffee or taking
a cold shower will not make you sober.
Similarly, prescription and
non-prescription drugs affect your
alertness, perception and reaction time.
Consult with your doctor or pharmacist
before driving while under the influence
of any of these medications.
199)
WARNING
199)NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE. Your
perceptions are less accurate, your reflexes
are slower and your judgment is impaired.
SAFE DRIVING
TECHNIQUES
Driving safety and protection against
injury cannot be fully ensured. However,
we recommend that you pay extra
attention to the following:
Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure
that you and your passengers have
fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats
200)
Carrying children in the vehicleNever leave your vehicle unattended
with the key and children inside the
vehicle. Children may play with the
driving controls and this could lead to
an accident.
Make sure that infants and small
children are properly restrained inaccordance with the laws and
regulations, and for maximum
protection in case of an accident.
Prevent children from playing in the
luggage compartment. It is quite
dangerous to allow them to play there
while the vehicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to
load above the height of seats. This is
dangerous not only because rearward
vision will be obstructed, but also the
luggage may be projected into the
passenger compartment under hard
braking.
WARNING
200)Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suitable
for the vehicle. To prevent the floor mats
from slipping out of position, securely
retain them using the hook etc. Note that
laying a floor mat over a pedal or laying one
floor mat on top of another can obstruct
pedal operation and lead to a serious
accident.
