KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING
99) Never press button C fig. 152
when travelling.
100) The height of the seat belts
must be adjusted with the vehicle
stationary.
101) After the adjustment, always
check that the cursor to which
the ring is fastened is locked
in one of the preset positions.
Release the grip and push
downwards to enable the locking
device to click if the grip has
not been released in one of the
possible positions.
SBR SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The vehicle is fitted with a Seat
Belt Reminder system (SBR),
consisting of a buzzer and a
flashing warning light
on the
instrument panel which warns the
driver that the seat belt must be
fastened.
The buzzer can be deactivated
(until the next engine stop) as
follows:
❒fasten the driver's seat belt;
❒turn the ignition key to the MAR-ON
position;
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then
release one of the seat belts.
For permanent deactivation,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
With digital display, the SBR system
can only be reactivated at a Fiat
Dealership.
With multifunction display, the SBR
system can also be reactivated
through the set-up menu.
PRETENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency
of the front seat belts, the vehicle
is fitted with pretensioners. These
devices, in the event of a head-on
crash or side impact, rewind the
seat belts a few centimetres. In this
way, they ensure that the belts fit
tightly to the wearer before the
restraining action begins.
The retractor locks to indicate that
the pretensioner has intervened; the
seat belt cannot be drawn back
up even when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action
of the pretensioner, wear the seat
belt tight to the chest and pelvis.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of
the pretensioner which is not
harmful and does not involve any
fire hazard.

PASSENGER SIDE
FRONT AIRBAG
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special recess
in the dashboard fig. 166: this
bag has a larger volume than that
of the driver's.

SYSTEMS
115)
ALWAYScomply with the
instructions on the label stuck on
the passenger side sun visor.Manual deactivation
of front passenger
side airbag and side
bag
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
If a child must of necessity be
carried on the front seat facing
backwards, the front passenger
side airbag and side bag for chest
protection (for versions/markets
where provided) can be
deactivated.
IMPORTANT To manually
deactivate the passenger side front
airbag and side bag for chest
protection (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 next to the
fig. 167
symbol on the dashboard shows
the passenger side protection
status. If the LED is off, the
passenger side protection is
activated.When the passenger side front
airbag and side bag for chest
protection (for versions/markets
where provided) are activated
again, the LED switches off.
When the vehicle is started (key in
MAR-ON 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.

IMPORTANT In the event of a
side-on crash, the system offers
best protection if you keep a
correct position on the seat
because this allows the side bags
to inflate correctly.
IMPORTANT The front airbags
and/or side bags may be deployed
if the vehicle is subject to heavy
knocks or accidents involving the
underbody area, such as for
example violent shocks, against
steps, kerbs or low obstacles,
vehicle falling into big potholes or
depressions in the road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of
dust will be released when the
airbags are deployed. The dust is
not harmful and does not indicate
the beginning of a fire. Furthermore,
the surface of the deployed bag
and the interior of the vehicle may
be covered in a dusty residue:
this may irritate your skin and eyes.
Wash with mild soap and water in
the event of exposure.IMPORTANT Should an accident
occur in which any of the safety
devices are activated, take the
vehicle to a Fiat Dealership to have
the activated devices replaced
and to have the whole system
checked.
Every control, repair and
replacement operation concerning
the airbags must only be carried
out at a Fiat Dealership.
If you are having the vehicle
scrapped, have the system
deactivated at a Fiat Dealership
first. If the vehicle changes
ownership, the new owner must be
informed of how to use the airbags
and the above warnings and also
be given this "Owner Handbook".
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front
airbags and front side bags are
deployed differently according to
the type of collision. Failure to
deploy of one of the devices does
not necessarily indicate a system
malfunction.
WARNING
116) Never rest your head, arms or
elbows on the doors, on the
windows or in the window bag
area as this could cause injuries
during the inflation phase.
117) Never lean your head, arms and
elbows out of the window.
118) If when turning the key to
MAR-ON the warning light
does not turn on or if it stays
on when travelling (together with
the message on the multifunction
display, for versions/markets
where provided), there could be a
fault in the safety systems; in
this event, airbags or
pretensioners may not trigger in
the case of impact or, in a lower
number of cases, they could be
triggered accidentally. Contact a
Fiat Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
119) Do not cover the backrest of
the front or rear seats with covers
which are not suitable for use
with side bags.

SAFETY

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
The vehicle must be provided with
a type-approved tow hook and
adequate electrical system to tow
caravans or trailers. Installation
should be carried out by
specialised personnel who will issue
the required papers for travelling
on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a
trailer, steep hills are harder to
climb, the braking spaces increase
and overtaking takes longer
depending on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly
using the brake.The weight of the trailer on the
vehicle tow hook will reduce the
loading capacity of the vehicle by
the same amount. Consider the
weight of the trailer fully laden,
including accessories and luggage,
to make sure you do not exceed
the maximum towable weight
(shown on the vehicle registration
document).
Do not exceed the speed limits
specific to each country you are
driving in, in the case of vehicles
towing trailers. In any case, the top
speed must not exceed 100 km/h.
You are advised to fit a suitable
stabiliser to the trailer drawbar.
In the vehicles equipped with
parking sensors, after fitting the tow
hook malfunctioning warnings
may be displayed, as some parts
(tow bar, ball tow hook) may be
within the sensor detection range.
In this case the detection range
must be adjusted or the parking
assistance function must be
deactivated.
135) 136)
INSTALLING THE TOW
HOOK
The towing device should be
fastened to the body by specialised
personnel according to any
additional and/or integrative
information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet
current regulations with reference to
Directive 94/20/EC and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device
used must match the towable
weight of the vehicle on which it is
to be installed.
For the electric connection a
standard connector should be used
which is generally placed on a
special bracket normally fastened
to the towing device, and a special
ECU for external trailer light control
must be installed on the vehicle.
For the electrical connection, 7 or
13 pin 12 V DC connections are to
be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow the instructions
provided by the vehicle
manufacturer and/or the tow hitch
manufacturer.
