WARNING
43)If thewarning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on the
display), there may be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an accident
or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked
immediately.
44)A failure of the
warning light is indicated by thewarning light flashing or, depending on the version, by theicon turning on
continuously on the display. In this case, thewarning light may not indicate a possible problem with the airbag restraint system. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
45)If the
warning light comes on, the exhausted engine oil should be changed as soon as possible, never drive more than 500 km from
the first switching-on of this warning light. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty.
Remember that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you do not need to top
up the engine oil.
46)If the
warning light flashes when driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.

PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE FOR USING UNIVERSAL CHILD SEATS
The vehicle complies with the new European Directive 2000/3/EC which governs the arrangement possibilities for child restraint
systems on the seats of a vehicle as shown in the following table (the table refers to the Van, Combi and Panorama versions):

Below is a summary of
the main safety rules to
be followed when
carrying children
The recommended position for
installing child restraint systems is on
the rear seat, as it is the most protected
area in the event of an impact.
Keep children in rearward-facing
child restraint systems for as long
as possible, ideally until they are 3–4
years old.
If the passenger front airbag is
deactivated, always check the
corresponding LED on the button
on
the instrument panel to make sure
that it has actually been deactivated.
Carefully follow the instructions that
come with the child seat, which the
manufacturer must supply. Keep the
instructions in the vehicle along with the
other papers and this handbook. Do
not use second-hand child seats
without instructions.
Always check that the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling on it.
Only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry two
children using one child restraint
system.
Always check that seat belts do not
rest on the child’s neck.
While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No one can hold
a child in the case of an accident.
Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or
behind their back.
If the vehicle has been involved in a
road accident, replace the child
restraint system with a new one. In
addition, and depending on the type of
child restraint system installed, replace
the Isofix anchorages or the seat belt
with which the child restraint system
was connected.
The rear headrest can be removed if
needed to install a child restraint
system. The headrest must always be
fitted in the vehicle if the seat is used by
an adult passenger or a child sitting in
a restraint system without backrest.
WARNING
87)Do not place a rearward facing cradle
seat on the front seat if the passenger side
airbag is enabled. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the impact. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a
collision. If you need to carry a child on the
front passenger seat in a rearward facing
cradle seat, 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 dedicated LED on button
on the
instrument panel to make sure that they
are actually deactivated. Move the
passenger's seat as far back as possible
to avoid contact between the child seat
and the dashboard.
88)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if
a rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)
- Airbag" paragraph).
89)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.

SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) - AIRBAG
The vehicle may be equipped with:
driver front airbag;
passenger front airbag;
front side bags to protect the pelvis
and chest of the driver and passenger;
window bags to protect the heads
of the front seat occupants.
The airbag locations on the vehicle are
marked by the word "AIRBAG" in the
middle of the steering wheel, on the
dashboard, on the side lining or on
a label placed next to the airbag
deployment area.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front airbags protect the front seat
occupants in the event of a medium-
high severity frontal impact, by placing
the bag between the occupant and
the steering wheel or dashboard.
Therefore, non-activation in other types
of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts,
roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the
bag inflate in the event of a frontal
impact.The bag will inflate instantaneously
placing itself between the front
occupants body and the structures
which could cause injury. It will deflate
immediately afterwards.
Front airbags are not a replacement of
but complementary to the seat belts,
which you are recommended to always
wear, as specified by law in Europe
and most non-European countries.
In the event of an impact, someone not
wearing a seat belt could move forward
and come into contact with a bag
which is still opening. The protection
offered by the bag is compromised
in these circumstances.
Front airbags may not activate in the
following situations:
frontal impacts against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the vehicle (e.g. wing
collision against guard rail, etc.);
when the vehicle is wedged under
other vehicles or protective barriers
(e.g. under a lorry or a guardrail); Failure
to deploy in the conditions described
above is due to the fact that the airbags
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.
99)
The driver's and passenger's front
airbags have been designed and
calibrated to protect front seat
occupants wearing seat belts. At their
maximum inflation, their volume fills
most of the space between the steering
wheel and the driver and between the
dashboard and the passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the
event of minor frontal impacts (for
which the restraining action of the seat
belts is sufficient). Seat belts must
always be worn. In the event of a frontal
collision, they ensure the correct
positioning of the occupant.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE
AIRBAG AND CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
100)
Rearward facing child restraint systems
mustNEVERbe fitted on the front
seat with an active passenger airbag
since in the event of an impact the
airbag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
ALWAYScomply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger
side sun visor fig. 102.Manual deactivation of
front passenger side
airbag and side bag
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If a child must necessarily be carried on
the front seat in a rear-facing child
restraint system, the front passenger
airbag and side bag (for versions/
markets, where provided) can be
deactivated.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the
front passenger airbag and side bag
(for versions/markets, where provided),
refer to the "Display" paragraph in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter. The LED on the button
switches on in case of deactivation.
The LED that corresponds to the
symbol
fig. 103 on the dashboard
indicates the passenger's protection
status. If the LED is off, the passenger
side protection is activated.When the front passenger airbag and
side bag (for versions/markets, where
provided) are activated again, the
warning light turns off.
When the vehicle is started (key in MAR
position), the LED turns on for approx.
8 seconds, provided that at least 5
seconds have elapsed from the
previous switching off. If not, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle 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
vehicle off, wait at least 5 seconds and
switch on again.
During the first 8 seconds, the
activation of the LED does not actually
show the passenger protection status,
but only checks its correct operation.
