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.

120)Vehicle handling is modified with the
space-saver wheel fitted. Avoid violent
acceleration and braking, abrupt steering
and fast cornering. The overall duration
of the space-saver wheel is about 3000
km, after which the relevant tyre must be
replaced with another one of the same
type. Never install a standard tyre on a rim
that is designed for use with a space-saver
wheel. Have the wheel repaired and refitted
as soon as possible. Using two or more
space-saver wheels at the same time
is forbidden. Do not grease the threads of
the stud bolts before fitting them: they
might slip out when driving.
121)The jack shall only be used for raising
the car model it has been supplied with.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as raising other car models. Never
use the jack for repair operations under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the vehicle to fall. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. The space-saver wheel
cannot be fitted with snow chains. If a
front (drive) tyre is punctured and chains
are needed, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel
on the rear axle. This way, with two
standard front driving wheels, you can
install the snow chains on them.
122)Incorrect hub cap assembly may
cause it to come off when the vehicle is
moving. Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.123)At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel, the ignition
key must be extracted, taking care not to
turn it in the wrong direction to facilitate the
extraction of the key itself, to prevent the
attachment device from being released and
the wheel assembly not being securely
retained.
WARNING
63)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the wheel stud bolts checked.
