All child restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the control mark,
on a label solidly fixed to the seat which must never
be removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults
and wear the seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers child restraint systems for
each weight group. These devices are
recommended, since they are specifically designed
and tested for Fiat cars.
WARNING
Do not place a cradle seat facing
backwards on the front seat if the
passenger side airbags are enabled.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident could
cause fatal injuries to the baby regardless of
the severity of the collision. It is advisable
to always carr y children in a child seat on the
rear seat , which is the most protected position
in the event of a collision.
WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: if you need to
carr y a child on the front passenger
seat in a cradle seat facing backwards,
the passenger side airbags (front and
side bags for chest/pelvis protection for
versions/markets, where provided) must be
deactivated using the setup menu. It is
important to check the performed
deactivation of the warning light on the
instrument panel.The passenger seat must also
be positioned back as far as possible in order
to avoid the child seat from coming into
contact with the dashboard.

FRONT AIRBAGSThe car is fitted with front airbags for the driver
and the passenger, and with a knee bag on the
driver's side (for versions/markets, where
provided).
The front driver/passenger airbags and the driver's
knee bag (for versions/markets, where provided)
have been designed to protect the front seat
occupants in the event of frontal impacts of
medium/high severity, by placing the bag between
the occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-deployment in other types of
impacts (side impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.)
does not indicate a system malfunction.
In the event of a frontal impact, an electronic
control unit triggers the inflation of the bags if
required. The cushions immediately inflate, placing
themselves between the front occupants' bodies
and structures that could cause injuries.
Immediately after, the cushions deflate.
The front driver/passenger airbags and the driver's
knee bag (for versions/markets, where provided)
are not a replacement for, but rather complement
the use of, seat belts, which should always be worn,
as specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat
belt will move forward and come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating. The protection
offered by the bag is compromised in these
circumstances.Front airbags may not be activated in the following
situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformable objects
not involving the front surface of the car (e.g.
wing collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒car wedging under other vehicles or protective
barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they may not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their deployment
would be inappropriate. In these cases, non-
deployment does not indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects
to the steering wheel, passenger side
airbag cover or upper side upholstery. Do not
place objects on the passenger side dashboard
because these could interfere with the correct
opening of the passenger airbag and cause
injury to occupants.
FRONT AIRBAG DRIVER'S SIDE
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained
in a special compartment in the centre of the
steering wheel fig. 131.

WARNING
If the car has been stolen or in the case
of attempt to steal it , if it has been
subjected to vandalism or floods, have the
airbag system checked by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
The airbags may also be deployed
when the car is not moving, if the key is
in the ignition and turned to MAR-ON, even
with the engine off, if the car is hit by another
moving vehicle. For this reason, children must
never occupy the front seat , even if the car
is not moving. On the other hand, if the key is
inserted in STOP position, none of the safety
devices (airbags or pretensioners) will be
deployed in the event of impact . Non-
deployment of these devices does not indicate
a system malfunction.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, the warning light
(with
passenger's front airbag activated) turns on
and flashes for a few seconds to remind you
that the passenger's airbag will be deployed in
a crash, after which it should go off.
WARNING
The front airbag is designed to be
deployed for impacts of a greater
intensity than for the pretensioners. For
impacts whose intensity falls between the two
activation levels, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace seat belts
but increases their efficiency.
Furthermore, since front airbags are not
deployed in low-speed frontal impacts, side
impacts, rear shunts or roll-overs, the
passengers are protected only by the seat belts
which must therefore be fastened at all
times.

HANDBRAKE APPLIED
The warning light turns on when the handbrake is
applied. If the car is moving the buzzer will also
sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on when
the car is in motion, check that the handbrake
is not on.
BRAKE PAD WEAR (amber)
The warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when the front brake pads show signs
of wear; under these circumstances have them
replaced as soon as possible.
The display will show the dedicated message.
IMPORTANT Because the car is equipped with a
wear detection system only for the front brake
pads, when these are replaced the rear brake pads
should also be checked for wear.AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position the
warning light switches on, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. The warning light stays on
constantly if there is a failure in the airbag system.
WARNING
If when turning the key to MAR-ON
the warning light
does not turn on or
stays on whilst driving, a failure may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this case
the airbags or pretensioners may not be
deployed in an impact or, in a lower number of
cases, they may be deployed accidentally.
Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.
WARNING
Afaultwiththe
warning light is
indicated by flashing of the
warning
light , which signals the deactivation of the
passenger side front airbag. In addition, the
airbag system automatically disables the
airbags on the passenger's side (both front and
side airbags for versions/markets, where
provided). In this case, the warning light
may not indicate a fault in the restraint
systems. Before continuing, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
