88)SEVERE DANGER: when an active
passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install
rearward facing child restraint systems
on the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the impact. Therefore, always
deactivate the passenger side airbag when
a rearward facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger seat.
The front passenger seat must also be
positioned back as far as possible in order
to prevent the child restraint system from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
Immediately reactivate the passenger
airbag as soon as the child restraint system
has been removed.
89)When an active passenger airbag is
fitted, DO NOT install rear facing child
restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the child
regardless of the severity of the impact.
90)If the
warning light does not switch
on when the key is turned to MAR, or
stays on whilst driving, a fault may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this
case the airbags or pretensioners may not
deploy in an impact or, in a lower number
of cases, they may be deployed
accidentally. Before proceeding, contact a
Fiat Dealership immediately to have the
system checked.
91)On some versions if the
warning
light does not switch on, thewarning
light switches on instead, deactivating
the explosive charges of the passenger
airbag.
92)If a side bag is present, do not cover
the front seat backrests with extra covers.93)Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between your
lips (pipe, pencils, etc.). They could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
94)If the vehicle has been subject to theft,
attempted theft, vandalism, or flooding,
have the airbag system inspected at a Fiat
Dealership.
95)When the ignition key is inserted and
turned to MAR, airbags may be deployed if
another vehicle crashes into yours, even if
the engine is not running and the vehicle
is stationary. Therefore, even if the vehicle
is stationary, when an active front
passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install
rearward facing child restraint systems
on the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag following an impact could cause
fatal injuries to the child. Therefore, always
deactivate the passenger side airbag
when a rearward facing child restraint
system is installed on the front passenger
seat. The front passenger seat must also
be positioned back as far as possible in
order to prevent the child restraint system
from coming into contact with the
dashboard. Immediately reactivate the
passenger airbag as soon as the child
restraint system has been removed. Also
remember that, if the key is turned to
STOP, none of the safety devices (airbags
or pretensioners) will be deployed in the
event of collision. Non-deployment in such
cases does not indicate a system
malfunction.96)The
LED indicates the passenger
side airbag protection status. If the LED is
off, passenger side protection is active:
to deactivate it, use the Setup Menu (in this
case the LED lights up). When the engine
is started (ignition key turned to MAR
position), the LED turns on for about 8
seconds, provided that at least 5 seconds
have elapsed from when it was switched
off. If not, contact a Fiat Dealership. If
the engine is switched off/on again in less
than 5 seconds the LED may remain off.
In this case, to check correct LED
operation, switch the engine off, wait for at
least 5 seconds and switch the engine
on again. The LED may light up with
various intensity levels depending on the
vehicle conditions. The intensity may also
vary during the same key cycle.
97)The airbag deployment threshold is
higher than that of the pretensioners. When
the impact is between the two deployment
thresholds, it is normal that pretensioners
only are engaged.
98)The airbag does not replace seat belts,
but increases their efficiency. Because
front airbags are not deployed for
low-speed crashes, side collisions,
rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants are
protected, in addition to any side bags,
only by their seat belts, which must
therefore always be fastened.

SCHEDULED
SERVICINGCorrect servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions. For this
reason, Fiat has planned a series of
checks and services at fixed distance
intervals and, where provided, at fixed
time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Fiat Dealerships according to a set time
schedule. If, during each operation, in
addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with
the owner's explicit agreement only.
If your vehicle is used frequently for
towing, the interval between one
service operation and the next should
be reduced.IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
PERIODIC CHECKSEvery1,000km or before long
journeys, check and if necessary, top
up: engine coolant level; brake fluid
level; screen washer fluid level; tyre
inflation pressure and condition; lighting
system operation (headlights, direction
indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);
screen washer/wiper system operation
and positioning/wear of windscreen/
rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.HEAVY-DUTY USE OF THE
VEHICLEIf the vehicle is used under one of the
following conditions:
❒towing a trailer or caravan;
❒dusty roads;
❒short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;❒engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;
the following checks must be carried
out more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks,
cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
❒visually inspect conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and
rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and battery
fluid level (electrolyte);
❒visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
❒check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace
pollen filter;
❒check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.

6)
The battery does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled
water. A periodic check carried out at
a Fiat Dealership is, however, necessary
to check efficiency.
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other
or drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.

85) 86)
Observe the following precautions to
ensure the system is fully operational:
❒the display lens should not come into
contact with pointed or rigid objects
which could damage its surface; use a
soft, dry anti-static cloth to clean and
do not press.❒never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the display lens.
❒prevent any liquid from entering the
system: this could damage it beyond
repair.
ANTI-THEFT
PROTECTIONThe system is equipped with an
anti-theft protection system based on
the exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has
been disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the
same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the
system will ask the user to enter the
secret code according to the procedure
described in the paragraph below.Entering the secret codeWhen the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will
show "Please enter Anti-Theft Code"
followed by the screen showing a
keypad to enter the secret code.The secret code is made up of four
digits, from 0 to 9: to insert the first digit
of the code, turn the BROWSE/ENTER
right knob and press to confirm.
After entering the fourth digit, the
system begins operating.
If an incorrect code is entered, the
system displays "Incorrect Code" to
notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays
"Incorrect Code. Radio locked. Wait for
30 minutes". Once the text has
disappeared you can start the code
entering procedure again.
Vehicle radio passportThis document certifies ownership of
the system. The vehicle radio passport
shows the system model, serial number
and secret code.
In the case of loss of the vehicle radio
passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,
taking an ID document and the vehicle
ownership documents.
IMPORTANT Keep the vehicle radio
passport in a safe place so that you
can give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
