ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SETUPThe car is equipped with ISOFIX anchorages, a new
standard which makes fitting a child restraint system
quick, simple and safe.
Isofix systems can be fitted alongside conventional
child restraint systems on different seats in the same
car.
fig. 109An example of a Universal Isofix child
restraint system for weight group 1.
WARNING
The diagram is indicative and for fitting
purposes only. Fit the child restraint
system according to the instructions, which must
be included.
The other weight groups are covered by specific
Isofix child restraint systems, which can be used only
if specifically tested for this car (see list of cars
provided with the child restraint system).

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);
Failure to activate in the conditions described above
is due to the fact that they may not provide any
additional protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would be inappropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does not indicate a
system malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dashboard
in the passenger side airbag area, on side
upholstery on the roof or on the seats. Never
put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger's side dashboard since they could
interfere with correct inflation of the airbag
and also cause serious injur y to the passengers.

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. 112.
WARNING
Always drive with both hands on the
steering wheel so that , if the airbags
must be deployed, they may do so freely. Do not
drive with your body bent forward. Keep your
back straight against the backrest .FRONT AIRBAG PASSENGER'S SIDE
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in
a special recess in the dashboard: this bag has a
larger volume than that of the driver fig. 113.
The front driver and passenger airbags are designed
and calibrated to best protect front-seat passengers
wearing seat belts.
The volume of the front airbags at max. inflation fills
most of the space between the steering wheel and
the driver and between the dashboard and the
passenger.

SIDE AIRBAGS
(Side bag - Window bag)The car is fitted with front side bags for driver and
passenger, protecting the chest/pelvis, and window
bags for protecting front and rear passengers’ heads.
Side airbags protect occupants from side impacts
of medium/high severity by placing the bag between
the occupant and the internal parts of the side
structure of the car.
Non-activation of side bags in other types of
collisions (frontal impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs,
etc...) is not an indication of system malfunction.
In the event of a side impact, an electronic control
unit triggers the inflation of the bag if required.
The cushion immediately inflates, placing itself
between the occupant's body and structures that
could cause injuries. Immediately after, the cushion
deflates.
Side bags are not a replacement of, but rather a
complement to, seat belts, which you are
recommended to wear at all times, as specified by
law in Europe and most non-European countries.SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These comprise two types of bags located in the
front seat backrests fig. 117 which protect the pelvis,
chest and shoulder area of the occupants in the
event of a side impact of medium/high severity.

WINDOW BAG
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This comprises a "curtain" bag housed behind the
roof side linings and covered by special trims fig. 118.
It is designed to protect the head of front and rear
occupants in the event of a side collision, thanks
to the wide cushion inflation surface.
The deployment of side bags in the event of side
impacts of low severity is not required.
In the event of a side impact, the system provides
best protection if the passenger sits on the seat in a
correct position, thus allowing correct window
bag deployment.
For this reason, the seat belt must be worn at all
times. In the case of side impacts, the seat belts hold
occupants in the correct position and prevent them
from being thrown out of the car by a very violent
collision.Therefore, front side bags (for versions/markets,
where provided) are not a replacement of, but
complementary to, seat belts, which you are
recommended to always wear, as specified by law in
Europe and most non-European countries.
IMPORTANT Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.
IMPORTANT Do not rest your head, arms or elbows
on the door, on the windows and on the window
bag area to avoid injuries during inflation.
IMPORTANT Never lean your head, arms or elbows
out of the window.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side impact, the
system provides best protection if the passenger sits
on the seat in a correct position, thus allowing
correct window bag deployment.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of the front
seats with covers which are not suitable
for use with side bags.

IMPORTANT
Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised
steam (wash by hand or at automatic seat washing
stations).
The front airbags and/or front side bags (for
versions/markets, where provided) may be deployed
if the car is subject to heavy collisions or accidents
involving the underbody area, such as for example
violent shocks against steps, kerbs or low obstacles,
car falling into big holes or sags in the road.
When the airbag deploys it emits a small amount of
dust: the dust is harmless and does not indicate
the beginning of a fire. The dust may irritate the skin
and eyes however: in this case, wash with neutral
soap and water.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement must be
carried out at a Fiat Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the airbag system
deactivated at a Fiat Dealership.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed according to
different logics on the basis of the type of collision.
Failure to deploy of one or more of the devices does
not indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
If the
warning light does not switch
on when the key is turned to MAR-ON,
or stays on while driving (on some versions
together with a message on the display) there
may be a fault in the restraint systems. In this
case, the airbags or the pretensioners may
not be activated in the case of an accident or
(in a lesser number of cases) they may be
activated incorrectly. Contact your Fiat
Dealership immediately to have this system
checked.
WARNING
On cars with side bags, do not cover the
front seat backrests with extra covers.
WARNING
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 in an
accident .

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
When the ignition key is inserted and
turned to MAR-ON, airbags may be
deployed if another car crashes into the vehicle,
even if the engine is not running and the car is
stationary.Therefore, even if the car is
stationary, when an active 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 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 avoid 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.
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.
