1. Side impacts in an area away from
the passenger compartment.
2. Motorcycle or other similar small
vehicle collides with the side of vehicle.
3. Collision with a utility pole, tree or
other narrow object. 4. Oblique side
impacts. 5. Vehicle rolls onto its side or
roof.Because the side airbags and curtain
airbags do not protect the occupant in
all types of side collisions, be sure to
always properly wear your seat belts.
The side airbags and curtain
airbags ARE NOT DESIGNED TO
DEPLOY when...
The side airbags and curtain airbags
are not designed to deploy in
conditions where they cannot usually
provide protection to the occupant.
Typical conditions are shown in the
illustration.
1. Head-on collisions 2. Rear end
collisions
Because the side airbags and curtain
airbags do not protect the occupant in
all types of collisions, be sure to always
properly wear your seat belts.

WARNING
145)Airbags inflate at an extremely rapid
speed. In certain situations, contact with
inflating airbags can result in abrasions,
bruises, light cuts, and the like.
146)IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BE
PROPERLY SEATED. A driver or front
passenger too close to the steering wheel
or instrument panel during airbag
deployment can be killed or seriously
injured. Airbags inflate very fast, and with
great force. If the driver and front
passenger are not properly seated and
restrained, the airbags may not protect you
properly, and could cause serious or fatal
injuries when they inflate.
147)Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or
sit with your lower legs too close to the
instrument panel, or lean head or chest
close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Do not put feet or legs on or against
the instrument panel.
148)Always drive with your hands on the
rim of the steering wheel so that the airbag
can inflate freely if required. Do not drive
with your body bent forward. Keep your
back straight against the backrest.149)Place all infants and small children in
the rear seat and properly restrained using
an appropriate child restraint system. The
rear seat is the safest for infants and
children.
150)Infants and small children should
never be unrestrained, stand up against
the instrument panel or held in your arms
or on your lap. They could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision, including
when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in an appropriate child
restraint system. See the “Child restraint”
section of this owner’s manual.
151)When there is an active passenger
airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing
child restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the child
regardless of the severity of the impact.
Therefore, always deactivate the passenger
side 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 prevent 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.
152)Older children should be seated,
properly wearing the seat belt, with an
appropriate booster seat if needed.
153)Extreme Hazard! NEVER use a
rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.154)Do not fit any accessory that makes
the indicator impossible to see, and do not
cover the indicator with a sticker. You
would not be able to verify the status of the
passenger airbag system.
155)To reduce risk of serious or fatal
injury: always turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position or put the operation mode
in OFF, before operating the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Failure
to do so could adversely affect the airbag
performance; Wait at least 60 seconds to
operate the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch after turning the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position or putting
the operation mode in OFF. The SRS
airbag system is designed to retain enough
voltage to deploy the airbag; Always
remove the key from the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch after operating that
switch. Failure to do so could lead to
improper position of the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch; Do not turn OFF
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch except when a child restraint
system is fitted to the front passenger seat;
If the OFF indicator does not come on
when the front passenger’s airbag ONOFF
switch is turned OFF, do not fit a child
restraint system to the front passenger
seat. We recommend you to have the
system inspected by a Fiat Dealership; if
the OFF indicator remains on when the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is
turned ON, do not allow anyone to sit on
the front passenger seat. We recommend
you to have the system inspected by a Fiat
Dealership.

156)Do not apply stickers or other objects
to the steering wheel, the dashboard in the
passenger side airbag area and the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on
the passenger side of the dashboard since
they could interfere with correct inflation of
the passenger airbag and also cause
serious injury to the passengers.
157)Do not set anything on, or attach
anything to, the instrument panel above the
glove box. It might strike and injure an
occupant if the airbag inflates.
158)Do not attach accessories to, or put
them in front of, the windscreen. These
objects could restrict the airbag inflation, or
strike and injure an occupant if the airbags
inflate.
159)Do not attach additional keys or
accessories (hard, pointed or heavy
objects) to the ignition key. Such objects
could prevent the driver’s knee airbag from
inflating normally or could be propelled to
cause serious injury if the airbag inflates.
160)Do not attach accessories to the
lower portion of the driver’s side instrument
panel. Such objects could prevent the
driver’s knee airbag from inflating normally
or could be propelled to cause serious
injury if the airbag inflates.
161)Do not put packages, pets or other
objects between the airbags and the driver
or front passenger. It could affect airbag
performance, or could cause injury when
the airbag inflates.
162)Right after the airbag inflation, several
airbag system components will be hot. Do
not touch these components. There is a
danger of being burnt.163)The airbag system is designed to
work only once. Once the airbags have
deployed, they will not work again. They
must promptly be replaced and we
recommend you to have the entire airbag
system inspected by a Fiat Dealership.
164)Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.
165)Do not rest your head, arms or
elbows on the door, windows or the area in
which the Window bag is located to avoid
possible injury during airbag inflation.
166)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.
167)The side airbags and curtain airbags
are designed to supplement the driver and
passenger seat belts in certain side
impacts. Seat belts should always be worn
properly, and the driver and passenger
should sit well back and upright without
leaning against the window or door.
168)The side airbag and curtain airbag
inflate with great force. The driver and
passenger should not put their arms out
the window, and should not lean against
the door, in order to reduce risk of serious
or possible fatal injury from the deploying
side airbag and curtain airbag.
169)Do not allow any rear seat occupant
to hold onto the seatback of either front
seat, in order to reduce risk of injury from
the deploying side airbag. Special care
should be taken with children.170)Do not place any objects near or in
front of the seatback of either front seat.
They could interfere with proper side airbag
inflation, and also could cause injury if
thrown free by side airbag deployment.
171)Do not install seat covers on seats
with side airbags. Do not re-cover seats
that have side airbags. This could interfere
with proper side airbag inflation.
172)Do not attach a microphone (A) or
any other device or object around the part
where the curtain airbags (B) activate such
as on the windscreen, side door glass,
front and rear pillars and roof side or assist
grips. When the curtain airbags inflate, the
microphone or other device or object will
be hurled with great force or the curtain
airbags may not activate correctly, resulting
in death or serious injury.
173)Do not allow the child to lean against
or close to the front door even if the child is
seated in a child restraint system. The
child’s head should also not be leaned
against or be close to the area where the
side airbag and curtain airbag are located.
It is dangerous if the side airbag and
curtain airbag inflate. Failure to follow all of
these instructions could lead to serious or
fatal injury to the child.
174)We recommend work around and on
the side airbags and curtain airbags
system to be done by a Fiat Dealership.
175)We recommend any maintenance
performed on or near the components of
the SRS to be performed by a Fiat
Dealership. Improper work on the SRS
components or wiring could result in
inadvertent deployment of the airbags, or
could render the SRS inoperative; either
situation could result in serious injury.
125

176)Do not modify your steering wheel,
seat belt retractor or any other SRS
components. For example, replacement of
the steering wheel, or modifications to the
front bumper or body structure can
adversely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
177)If your vehicle has received any
damage, we recommend you to have the
SRS inspected to ensure it is in proper
working order.
178)On vehicles with the side airbag, do
not modify your front seats, centre pillar
and centre console. It can adversely affect
SRS performance and lead to possible
injury.
179)If you found any tear, scratch, crack
or damage to the portion where the airbag
is stored, you should have the SRS
inspected by a Fiat Dealership.ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
Brake assist system (where
provided)
The brake assist system is a device
assisting drivers who cannot depress
the brake pedal firmly such as in
emergency stop situations and provides
greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed
suddenly, the brakes will be applied
with more force than usual.
180)
NOTE Once the brake assist system is
operational, it maintains great braking
force even if the brake pedal is lightly
released. To stop its operation,
completely remove your foot from the
brake pedal.
NOTE When the brake assist system is
in use while driving, you may feel the
brake pedal attempt to resist, the pedal
moves in small motions in conjunction
with the operation noise, or the vehicle
body and the steering wheel vibrate.
This occurs when the brake assist
system is operating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue
to depress the brake pedal.
NOTE When the active stability &
traction control (ASTC) indicator lamp is
illuminated, the brake assist system
may not function.Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
(where provided)
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps
prevent the wheels from locking up
when braking. This helps maintain
vehicle drivability and steering wheel
handling.
Driving hints
Always keep a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you. Even if your
vehicle is equipped with the ABS, leave
a greater braking distance when:
Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
Driving with tyre chains installed.
Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other
differences in surface height.
Driving on uneven road surfaces.
Operation of ABS is not restricted
situations where brakes are applied
suddenly. This system may also prevent
the wheels from locking when you drive
over manholes, steel roadwork plates,
road markings, or any uneven road
surface.
When the ABS is in use, you may feel
the brake pedal pulsation and the
vibrations of the vehicle body and
steering wheel. It may also feel as if the
pedal resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump the
brake, which will result in reduced
braking performance.

DRIVING, ALCOHOL
AND DRUGS
Drunk driving is one of the most
frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously
impaired even with blood alcohol levels
far below the legal minimum. If you
have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride
with a designated non-drinking driver,
call a cab or a friend, or use public
transportation. Drinking coffee or taking
a cold shower will not make you sober.
Similarly, prescription and
non-prescription drugs affect your
alertness, perception and reaction time.
Consult with your doctor or pharmacist
before driving while under the influence
of any of these medications.
199)
WARNING
199)NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE. Your
perceptions are less accurate, your reflexes
are slower and your judgment is impaired.
SAFE DRIVING
TECHNIQUES
Driving safety and protection against
injury cannot be fully ensured. However,
we recommend that you pay extra
attention to the following:
Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure
that you and your passengers have
fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats
200)
Carrying children in the vehicleNever leave your vehicle unattended
with the key and children inside the
vehicle. Children may play with the
driving controls and this could lead to
an accident.
Make sure that infants and small
children are properly restrained inaccordance with the laws and
regulations, and for maximum
protection in case of an accident.
Prevent children from playing in the
luggage compartment. It is quite
dangerous to allow them to play there
while the vehicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to
load above the height of seats. This is
dangerous not only because rearward
vision will be obstructed, but also the
luggage may be projected into the
passenger compartment under hard
braking.
WARNING
200)Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suitable
for the vehicle. To prevent the floor mats
from slipping out of position, securely
retain them using the hook etc. Note that
laying a floor mat over a pedal or laying one
floor mat on top of another can obstruct
pedal operation and lead to a serious
accident.

112)Use the rear differential lock only as an
emergency measure when the vehicle is
stuck and cannot be freed with the drive
mode-selector in “4L” or “4H” position
(Easy select 4WD) or in “4LLc” or “4HLc”
position (Super select 4WD II). Deactivate
the rear differential lock immediately after
using it.4 WHEEL DRIVE
OPERATION
By selecting 4-wheel drive, both axles
of the vehicle are rigidly connected with
each other. This improves the traction
characteristics. When turning sharp
corners or moving forward and
backward repeatedly, however, the
drive line is stressed, which is felt as a
braking effect. A 4-wheel drive vehicle
can accelerate more quickly and
smoothly.
However, note that the braking distance
is not shorter than that of a rear-wheel
drive vehicle.
When using 4-wheel drive on rough
roads (snow, mud, sand, etc.), it is
important to operate the vehicle
correctly.
The driving posture should be more
upright and closer to the wheel than
usual; adjust the seat to a good
position for easy steering and pedal
operation. Be sure to wear the seat belt
After driving on rough roads, check
each part of the vehicle and wash it
thoroughly with water. Refer to the
“Vehicle care” section and “Inspection
and maintenance following rough road
operation”.Driving on dry paved road and
highway
Select “2H” position (Easy select 4WD),
“2H” or “4H” position (Super select
4WD II) to drive on the dry paved road.
Especially on dry highway, never select
the “4H” or “4L” position (Easy select
4WD), “4HLc” or “4LLc” position (Super
select 4WD II).
113)
Driving on snowy or icy roads
Set the drive mode-selector to “4H”
position (Easy select 4WD), “4H” or
“4HLc” position in accordance with the
road conditions (Super select 4WD II)
and then gradually depress the
accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
Keep the pressure on the accelerator
pedal as constant as possible, and
drive at low speed. The use of snow
tyres and/or tyre chains is
recommended.
Maintain a safe distance between
vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and
use engine braking (downshifting).

6. Start the engine in the vehicle which
has the booster battery, let the engine
idle a few minutes, then start the engine
in the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
7. After the engine is started,
disconnect the cables in the reverse
order and keep the engine running for
several minutes.
NOTE On vehicles with anti-lock brake
system, if the vehicle is put in motion
without fully charging the battery, it
might cause the loss of the smooth
engine operation and the antilock brake
warning lamp to illuminate. Refer to
“Anti-lock brake system (ABS)”.
WARNING
231)To start the engine using jumper
cables from another vehicle, perform the
correct procedures according to the
instruction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or
damage to the vehicles.
232)Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames
away from the battery because the battery
may produce an explosion.
233)Do not attempt to start the engine by
pulling or pushing the vehicle. It could
damage your vehicle.
234)Check the other vehicle. It must have
a 12-volt battery. If the other system isn’t
12-volt, shorting can damage both
vehicles.
235)Use the proper cables suitable for the
battery size to prevent overheating of the
cables.
236)Check the jumper cables for damage
and corrosion before use.
237)Always wear protective eye goggles
when working near the battery.
238)Keep the battery out of the reach of
children.
239)Turn off the ignition on both vehicles
beforehand. Make sure that the cables or
your clothes cannot be caught by the fan
or drive belt. Personal injury could result.
240)If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or
appears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt
Jump Starting! A battery might rupture or
explode if the temperature is below the
freezing point or if it is not filled to the
proper level.241)Electrolyte is corrosive diluted
sulphuric acid. If electrolyte (battery acid)
comes into contact with your hands, eyes,
clothes or the painted surface of your
vehicle, it should be thoroughly flushed
with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes,
flush them with water immediately and
thoroughly, and get prompt medical
attention.
242)Make sure that the connection is
made to the appointed position (shown in
the illustration). If the connection is made
directly to the negative (−) side of the
battery, the inflammable gases generated
from the battery might catch fire and
explode.
243)When connecting the jumper cables,
do not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (−) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery.
244)Use care not to get the jumper cable
caught in the cooling fan or other rotating
part in the engine compartment.
245)Keep the engine of the vehicle giving
assistance running.
246)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your skin and
eyes. The battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks:
danger of explosion and fire.
247)Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first, otherwise it
may explode. If freezing has occurred, the
battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal
elements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.A
