FRONT AND SIDE AIR
BAGS
The car is fitted with front air bags for the
driver, for the passenger and with driver’s
knees air bag (where provided).
The front driver / passenger air bags and
the driver’s knees air bag (where provid-
ed) have been designed to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of head-on crashes of
medium-high severity, by placing the cush-
ion between the occupant and the steer-
ing wheel or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect
car’s occupants in front crashes and there-
fore non-activation in other types of col-
lisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-
overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.
In case of crash, an electronic control unit,
when required, triggers the inflation of the
cushion. The cushion immediately inflates,
placing itself as a protection between the
body of the front occupants and the struc-
ture that could cause injuries. Immediate-
ly after, the cushion deflates.
The front driver / passenger air bags and
the driver’s knees air bag (where provid-
ed) are not a replacement of but comple-
mentary to the use of belts, which should
always be worn, as specified by law in Eu-
rope and most non European countries.

At their maximum inflation, their volume
fills most of the space between the dash-
board and the passenger.
In case of crash, a person not wearing the
seat belt moves forward and may come in-
to contact with the cushion while it is still
inflating. Under this circumstance the pro-
tection offered by the air bag is reduced.
Front air bag may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in collisions against highly deformable
objects not affecting the car front sur-
face (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, etc.);
❒in case of wedging under other vehi-
cles or protective barriers (for exam-
ple under a truck or guard rail), the air
bag is not triggered as it offers no ad-
ditional protection compared with the
seat belts, consequently it would be
pointless. Therefore, failure to come
into action in the above circumstance
does not mean that the system is not
working properly.
In minor crashes (for which the restrain-
ing action of the seat belts is sufficient), the
air bags are not deployed. Also in this case
it is of vital importance to wear the seat
belts since in case of side crash they guar-
antee proper positioning of the occupant
and prevent the occupants to be pitched
out of the car in case of violent crashes.
Do not apply stickers or oth-
er objects to the steering
wheel or to the air bag cover on the
passenger’s side or on the side roof
lining. Never put objects on the dash-
board on passenger side since they
could interfere with proper air bag in-
flation .

FRONT AND REAR SIDE BAGS -
CHEST PROTECTION
(where provided) fig. 17
These side bags consist of two types of in-
stant inflation cushions housed in the seat
back rests and designed to increase pro-
tection of the occupants’ chest in the
event of a side crash of medium-high
severity.SIDE WINDOW BAGS - HEAD
PROTECTION (where provided)
fig. 18
They are “curtain” cushions located be-
hind the side coverings of the roof and
covered by proper finishings, studied for
the head protection to offer the best pro-
tection to the front and rear occupants
in the event of side crash, thanks to the
wide cushion inflation surface.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash,
you can obtain the best protection by the
system keeping a correct position on the
seat, allowing thus correct side bag unfold-
ing.

fig. 18F0L0069m
SIDE AIR BAGS
The car is fitted with front side bags for
driver and passenger (where provided),
front and rear window bags (where pro-
vided) for protecting front and rear oc-
cupant’s head, rear side bags for driver and
passenger (where provided).
Side bags (where provided) protect car
occupants from side crashes of medium-
high severity, by placing the cushion be-
tween the occupant and the internal parts
of the side structure of the car.
Non-activation of side bags in other types
of collisions (front collisions, rear shunts,
roll-overs, etc...) is not a system malfunc-
tion.
In case of side crash, an electronic control
unit, when required triggers the inflation
of the cushion. The cushion immediately
inflates, placing itself as a protection, be-
tween the occupant’s body and the struc-
ture that could cause injuries. Immediate-
ly after, the cushion deflates.
Side bags (where provided) are not a re-
placement of but complementary to the
belts, which you are recommended to al-
ways wear, as specified by law in Europe
and most non-European countries.

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
By turning the ignition key to
the ON position, warning
light
F(with front and side pas-
senger side air bags on) will turn on
and flash for a few seconds to remind
you that the passenger air bags will
be activated in the case of a collision,
afterwards it will turn off.
WARNING
Remember that with the key
engaged and at ON, 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, please
remember that when the key is not
inserted in the ignition or is in the OFF
position, safety devices (air bag or
pretensioner) will not activate as a re-
sult of a collision; the failed activa-
tion of these devices in these cases
cannot therefore be considered as an
index of system malfunctioning.
WARNING
The air bag does not substi-
tute the seat belts, but only
increases their effectiveness. More-
over, since the front air bags do not
come into operation in the event of
front impact at low speed, side colli-
sions, bumps from behind or over-
turning, in these circumstances the
occupants would only be protected
by the seat belts which must therefore
always be fastened.
WARNING
By turning the ignition key
to the ON position, the
warning light
À(with rear side
chest protection air bags on) will
turn on and flash for a few seconds
to remind you that the rear air bags
will be activated in the case of a col-
lision, afterwards it will turn off.

If when turning the ignition
key to ON, the warning light
¬does not turn on or stays on when
travelling there could be a failure in
safety systems; in this event air bags
or pretensioners could not trigger in
case of impact or, in a minor num-
ber of cases, they could trigger acci-
dentally. Contact Fiat Dealership im-
mediately to have the system
checked.
WARNING
The failure of the ¬warning
light is also indicated by the
flashing for more than the normal 4
seconds of the passenger’s front air
bag deactivated warning light
F.
In addition the air bag system will de-
activate automatically the passen-
ger’s air bags (front and side where
provided). In this event, warning light
¬could not indicate safety systems
failures. Contact Fiat Dealership im-
mediately to have the system

section);
❒visual check on various drive belt con-
ditions;
❒check and replace pollen filter, if re-
quired;
❒check and replace air cleaner, if re-
quired.
ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and top up if required:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions;
❒light system operation (headlights, di-
rection indicators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒windscreen wiper/washer operation
and windscreen/rear window blade
position/wear;
Every 3,000 km check and top up if re-
