Never rest head, arms and
elbows on the door, on the
windows and in the window bag area
to prevent possible injuries during in-
flation phase.
WARNING
Never lean head, arms and
elbows out of the window.
WARNING
WINDOW BAGS
(where provided) fig. 19
They are “curtain” cushions located be-
hind the side coverings of the roof and
covered by proper finishings, studied for
the head protection to offer the best pro-
tection to the front and rear occupants
in the event of side crash, thanks to the
wide cushion inflation surface.
In minor side crashes (for which the re-
straining action of the seat belts is suffi-
cient), the air bags are not deployed.
Do not cover the backrest of
front seats with trims or cov-
ers that are not suitable to be used
with side bags.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to
the coat hooks and to the
support handles.
WARNINGAlso in this case it is of vital importance to
wear the seat belts since in case of side
crash they guarantee proper positioning
of the occupant and prevent the occupants
to be pitched out of the car in case of vi-
olent crashes.
Therefore the front side bags (where pro-
vided) are not a replacement of but com-
plementary to the belts, which you are
recommended to always wear, as speci-
fied by law in Europe and most non-Eu-
ropean countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash,
you can obtain the best protection by the
system keeping a correct position on the
seat, allowing thus a correct window bag
unfolding.
IMPORTANT Do not wash seats with
pressurised water or steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber
hoses are concerned, carefully follow the
“Service schedule” in this section.
Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful control is
therefore necessary.Remember that road holding
depends also on the correct
tyre inflating pressure.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the car to the left and vice
versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring to use temperatures exceed-
ing 150°C since the mechanical prop-
erties of the wheels could be im-
paired.

(❍) On versions equipped with 195/65 R15 and 205/55 R16 tyres, a normal sized tyre may be ordered as an alternative to the small spare
wheel.
(*) Tyres cannot be fitted with chains.
(**) The 205/55 R16 91H tyre has the same characteristics of the spare tyre: the texts and the warnings contained in the paragraph “If a tyre
is punctured” are referred to the 205/55 R16 91H tyre.
IMPORTANT The use of 225/40 R18 92V tyres requires specific technical measures to be adopted. For this reason, this tyre may only be
ordered at the time of vehicle purchase. Do not install this tyre after vehicle purchase!
