DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 15
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion
contained in a special recess in the cen-
tre of the steering wheel.PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG
fig. 16
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion
contained into a special recess in the
dashboard, this cushion has a volume big-
ger than that of the driver.
The driver’s and passenger’s front Air bags
have been designed and calibrated to im-
prove the protection of a person wear-
ing seat belts.
At their maximum inflation, their volume
fills most of the space between the dash-
board and the passenger.
fig. 15F0Q0624mfig. 16F0Q0700m
SERIOUS DANGER: With
passenger’s air bag active,
never place child’s seats with
the cradle facing backwards
since the air bag activation
could cause to the child serious in-
juries, even mortal. In the case of
need, always deactivate the passen-
ger’s air bag when a child’s seat is
placed on the front seat. The front
passenger’s seat shall be adjusted in
the most backward position to pre-
vent any contact between child’s seat
and dashboard. Even if not compul-
sory by law, you are recommended to
reactivate the air bag immediately as
soon as child transport is no longer
necessary.
WARNING
Always keep your hands on
the steering wheel rim when
driving, so that if the air bag is trig-
gered, it can inflate without meeting
any obstacles which could cause seri-
ous harm to you. Do not drive with
the body bent forwards, keep the seat
back rest in the erect position and
lean your back well against it.

The front air bag is triggered
for shocks greater in magni-
tude than the pretensioners. For im-
pacts between these two thresholds,
it is therefore normal that only the
pretensioners are triggered.
WARNING
When the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the warning
light
“(with passenger’s front Air
bag on) turns on and flashes for few
seconds to remind that the passen-
ger’s air bag will be deployed in a
crash, after which it should go off.
WARNING
Remember that with the key
engaged and at MAR, even
with the engine not running, the air
bags may be triggered on a stationary
car if it is bumped by another moving
car. Therefore, never seat children on
the front seat even when the car is
stationary. On the other hand, re-
member that with the key at STOP
no safety system (air bags or preten-
sioners) is triggered in the event of an
impact; in this case, failure to come
into action cannot be considered as a
sign that the system is not working
properly.

the two front seats.

car cannot be moved.
Four or five clicks are generally enough
when the car is on level ground while nine
or ten may be required if the car is on a
steep slope or laden.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-
tact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake
adjusted.
In cars fitted with front armrest, lift the
latter so that it does not hinder the hand-
brake engaging procedure.When the handbrake lever is pulled up
