FRONT SIDE AIRBAGS (SIDE BAGS)These comprise two types of bags located in the front seat backrests
fig. 107 which protect the pelvic, chest and shoulder area of the
occupants in the event of a side impact of medium-high severity.SIDE AIRBAGS FOR HEAD PROTECTION
(WINDOW BAGS)This comprises two "curtain" bags housed behind the roof side linings
and covered by special trims fig. 108.
It is designed to protect the head of front and rear occupants in the
event of a side collision, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.
The deployment of side bags in the event of side impacts of low
severity is not required.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of low-severity impacts (for
which the retaining action of the seat belts is sufficient). It is therefore
always necessary to wear seat belts.In the event of a side impact, the system provides optimum protection if
the passenger assumes the correct position on the seat, thus allowing
correct window bag deployment.
Do not hook rigid objects to the coat hooks or to the
support handles.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 inflation.Never lean your head, arms or elbows out of the
window.

Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments
requiring the use of temperatures exceeding 150°C.
The mechanical properties of the wheels could be
impaired.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WIPERBLADESWe recommend replacing the blades once a year.
A few simple precautions can reduce the possibility of damage to the
blades:
❒if the temperature falls below zero, make sure that ice has not frozen
the rubber against the glass. Use a de-icing product to release it if
required;
❒remove any snow from the window;
❒do not operate the windscreen/rear window wipers on dry glass.
Driving with worn windscreen/rear window wiper
blades is a serious hazard, because visibility is reduced
in bad weather.

CLEANING ALCANTARA SEATSAlcantara trim can be treated and cleaned easily in the same way as
the other trims. The same indications given for cleaning fabrics are
also therefore applicable for this trim.LEATHER SEATS(for versions/markets, where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a buckskin or slightly damp cloth, without
exercising too much pressure. Remove liquid or oil stains using a dry
absorbent cloth, without rubbing. Then clean with a soft cloth or
buckskin cloth dampened with water and neutral soap. If the stain
persists, use specific products and observe the instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make sure that the cleaning products
used contain no alcohol or alcohol derivatives, even in small quantities.
PLASTIC AND COATED PARTSClean interior plastic parts with a damp cloth (if possible made from
microfibre), and a solution of water and neutral, non-abrasive
detergent. To clean oily or persistent stains, use specific products free
from solvents and designed to maintain the original appearance
and colour of the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre cloth, if necessary moistened with
water. The use of paper tissues is not recommended as these may
leave residues.LEATHER PARTS(for versions/markets, where provided)
Use only water and neutral soap to clean these parts. Never use
alcohol or alcohol-based products. Before using a specific product for
cleaning interiors, make sure that it does not contain alcohol and/or
alcohol based substances.
