displayed every 200 km (or 124 mi). Oil
change notification messages are
displayed in the same way. Use the
andbuttons to alternate
between displaying scheduled servicing
and engine oil change information.
Below 200 km servicing indications are
more frequent. The display will be in
km or mi depending on the
measurement unit settings. When the
next scheduled service is approaching,
the word “Service” will appear on the
display, followed by the number of
kilometres or miles left, when the key is
turned to MAR-ON. Contact a Fiat
Dealership to carry out any service
operation in the "Scheduled servicing
plan" and to reset the display.NoteWhen an oil change is nearly due
and the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, the display will show a
dedicated message. Engine
performance will decrease still driving in
these conditions. When the change is
due, the dedicated message will
reappear on the display together with
the activation of both the
and
warning lights. Contact a

The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and(amber) warning lights (for
versions/markets, where provided), with the

system or that the system is not available. In this
case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the
vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
The display shows the dedicated message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership
to have the system inspected immediately.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is provided with front
airbags for the driver and the
passenger.
The front driver/passenger airbags
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-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.
Driver and passenger front airbags
are not a replacement of but
complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always
wear, as specified by law in Europe
and most non-European countries.The volume of the front airbags at
maximum inflation fills most of
the space between the steering
wheel and the driver and between
the dashboard and the passenger.
In the event of an impact, someone
not wearing a seat belt will move
forward and come into contact with
the bag which is still in the opening
stage. 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.);
❒jamming of the vehicle underneath
other vehicles or protective barriers
(e.g. underneath a truck or a guard
rail); in this case, the bags would offer
no additional protection with respect
to the seat belt and their deployment
is unnecessary. In these cases,
non-deployment does not indicate a
system malfunction.
114)
The airbags are not deployed in the
event of minor frontal collisions
(for which the restraining action of
the seat belts is sufficient). Safety
belts must always be worn. In
the event of frontal collisions they
guarantee correct positioning of the
passenger.
DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT
AIRBAG
It consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special recess in
the centre of the steering wheel

PASSENGER SIDE

bag has a larger volume than that
of the driver's.

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

Right central pillar optional fuse
box
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
To gain access to the fuse box fig.
231, remove the protective cover
fig. 230.
IMPORTANT
46) Never replace a blown fuse with
metal wires or other material.
WARNING
165) Never replace a fuse with
another with a higher amp rating;
DANGER OF FIRE. If a general
protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE,
MIDI-FUSE) is activated, contact a
Fiat Dealership.166) Before replacing a fuse, make
sure that the ignition key has
been removed and that all the
other services are switched off
and/or disengaged.
167) If the replaced fuse blows
again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
168) If a general protection fuse for
safety systems (airbag system,
braking system), power unit
systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering
system blows, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
