Manual deactivation
The passenger side airbag can be de-
activated if it is absolutely necessary to
carry a child in the front passenger
seat.
Deactivation / reactivation shall be
carried out with ignition device at
STOP. Turn the specific switch fig.
142on the dashboard on passenger
side with the ignition key.IMPORTANTOperate the switch
only with engine off and ignition key
removed.
The switch fig. 142has two posi-
tions:
– Passenger front airbag on: (position
ON P): instrument panel warning
light
Foff. Do not carry children on
the front seat.
– Passenger front airbag off: (position
OFF F): instrument panel warning
light Fon. A child can be carried on
the front seat with a suitable restraint
system.
Warning light Fon the cluster
stays on permanently until the pas-
senger’s airbag is reactivated.
Deactivation of the passenger’s front
air bag does not inhibit operation of
the side air bag.SERIOUS DANGER:
With passenger’s
air bag active (ON),
never place child’s seats with the
cradle facing backwards since the
air bag activation could cause to
the child serious injuries, even
mortal. In the case of need, al-
ways deactivate the passenger’s
air bag when a child’s seat is
placed on the front seat. The
front passenger’s seat shall be ad-
justed in the most backward po-
sition to prevent any contact be-
tween child’s seat and dashboard.
Even if not compulsory by law,
you are recommended to reac-
tivate the air bag immediately as
soon as child transport is no
longer necessary.

SIDE BAG
It consists of an instant-inflation cush-
ion housed in the back rest of the
front seat to increase protection of
the occupants’ chest in the event of a
side crash of medium-high severity.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The front and/or side airbags can be
triggered if the vehicle is subjected to
strong knocks or impacts underneath,
e.g. violent crashes into steps, kerbs or
fixed projections from the ground,
falling to large holes or dips in the road. When the airbag inflates it emits a
small amount of dusts. These dusts are
harmless and is not the beginning of a
fire; then the unfold cushion surface
and the vehicle interiors can be cov-
ered by a dusty remains: this dust can
irritate skin and eyes. In case of con-
tact, wash yourself using neutral soap
and water.
The air bag system has a validity of
14 years as to the pyrotechnic charge,
and 10 years as to the coil contact (see
the plate in the glove compartment).
As this date approaches, contact Fi-
at Dealershipto have it replaced.

F0A0517b
After an accident which triggered the
airbags, go to a Fiat Dealershipto
have the entire safety system, the elec-
tronic control unit, the seat belts and
the pretensioners replaced. The Deal-
ership will also check the intactness of
the electrical system.
Any diagnostic, repair or replace-
ment operations concerning the airbag
system must exclusively be carried out
at a Fiat Dealership.
If you are having the vehicle
scrapped, have the airbag system de-
activated at a Fiat Dealershipfirst.
If the vehicle changes hand, the new
owner must be made aware of the in-
dications given above and be given this
Owner Handbook.

96GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
The correct operation of
front airbags, side airbags
and pretensioners is en-
sured only if the vehicle is not
overloaded.
Do not wash the seat
back in vehicles with side
airbags with pressurised
steam or water in automatic seat
washing stations.
The airbag does not re-
place seat belts but rather
increases their effective-
ness. Furthermore, the airbag is
not fired in the event of low
speed front collisions, side colli-
sions, rear-end shunts and roll-
overs. In these cases, the passen-
gers are only protected by the
seat belts which for this reason
must always be fastened.
Always drive with both
hands on the rim of the
steering wheel so that the
airbag is free to inflate during a
head-on collision, and protect
you from serious injury. Do not
drive with your body bending to-
wards the steering wheel, but sit
in an upright position with your
back resting against the seat.
Do not cover the back-
rest of front seats with
trims or covers that are
not suitable to be used with side
bags.
It is important to re-
member that the airbag
can be fired if the ignition
key is fitted and at MAR also if
the engine is not running and the
vehicle it is hit by another vehicle
travelling at suitable speed. As a
consequence, Fiat recommends
sitting children in their specific
restraint systems on the back
seat, which is the most protected
position possible. On the con-
trary, the airbags will not be fired
if the vehicle is crashed into when
the key is not inserted or turned.
Consequently, in this case, the
fact that the system is not fired
does not indicate a fault.

108DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
IMPORTANTAfter a taxing drive
you should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by let-
ting it idle to allow the temperature in
the engine compartment to fall.
PARKING
Switch off the engine, pull up the
handbrake and engage a gear (1st gear
or reverse, according to whether the
vehicle is facing up or downhill) and
leave the wheels turned. If the vehi-
cle is left on a steep slope, wedges or
a rock should be used to lock the
wheels.
Do not leave the ignition key at
MARto prevent draining the battery.
Always remove the key when you
leave the vehicle.HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located be-
tween the two front seats.
Pull the handbrake lever upwards un-
til the vehicle cannot be moved. Four
or five clicks are generally enough
when the vehicle is on level ground
while nine or ten may be required if
the vehicle is on a steep slope or laden.
IMPORTANTIf this is not the
case, take the vehicle to a Fiat Deal-
ership to have the handbrake adjust-
ed.
Instrument panel warning light x
will come on when the handbrake
lever is pulled up and the ignition key
is at MAR.
To release the handbrake:
1)Slightly lift the handbrake and
press release button A-fig.1.
2)Keep the button pressed in and
lower the lever. Warning light xwill
go out.
3)Press the brake pedal when car-
rying out this operation to prevent the
vehicle moving accidentally. STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the key to STOPwhile the
engine is idling.
A quick burst on the ac-
celerator before turning
off the engine serves ab-
solutely no practical purpose and
wastes fuel.
Never leave children un-
supervised in the vehicle.

122IN AN EMERGENCY
To change a wheel proceed as
follows:
1)Stop the vehicle in a position that
is not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel safe-
ly. The ground should be flat and ad-
equately firm. Do not lubricate the bolt
threads before fitting
them back: they could
come loose.
Fasten the wheel cap correctly
to prevent the wheel from com-
ing free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation
valve.
Never place tools between the
rim and tyre.
Check the tyre and spare wheel
pressure regularly. The tyre in-
flation pressure is shown in sec-
tion “Technical specifications”.
CHANGING A WHEEL
Please note:
– The jack weighs 1.85 kg
– The jack requires no adjustments
– The jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks it must be replaced with a new
jack
– No tool with the exception of the
handle can be fitted on the jack.2)Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.
3Engage first or reverse gear.
4)Either move the left-hand front
seat back forwards (Fiat Doblò Car-
go versions) lifting lever A-fig. 2and
take the tool bag shown in fig. 3or lift
the rear seat (for Fiat Doblò Passen-
ger Transport versions) with lever B-
fig. 4and take the bag shown in fig.
5. Take the bag to the wheel to be re-
placed.
5)Take the wheel removal wrench.
