layers of snow or ice from the windscreen.
In such conditions, the windscreen wiper
may be subjected to excessive stress and
the motor cut-out switch, which prevents
operation for a few seconds, may
intervene. If operation is not restored,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
64)Streaks of water may cause
unnecessary blade movements.
65)If the washer is used in cold weather,
the washer fluid sprayed against the glass
may freeze, which may hinder visibility.
Warm the glass with the defroster or rear
window demister before using the washer.
66)With the ignition switch or the

AIRBAG
The information for SRS airbags
includes important information
concerning the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags, the driver’s knee
airbag, the side airbags and the curtain
airbags.
The SRS driver’s and front passenger’s
airbags are designed to supplement the
primary protection of the driver and
front passenger side seat belt systems
by providing those occupants with
protection against head and chest
injuries in certain moderate-to-severe
frontal collisions.
The SRS driver airbag employ a dual
stage airbag system (if so equipped).
The SRS driver and front passenger
airbag is controlled by the impact
sensors (at the front of the vehicle) and
the control unit (near the centre of the
vehicle at floor level).
The SRS driver’s knee airbag (if so
equipped) is designed to supplement
the primary protection of the driver’s
seat belt system. It can reduce the
forward movement of the driver’s lower
legs and provide increased overall body
protection in certain moderate-to-
severe frontal collisions.
The SRS side airbags (if so equipped)
are designed to supplement properly
worn seat belts and provide the driver
and front passenger with protectionagainst chest injuries in certain
moderate-to-severe side impact
collisions.
The SRS curtain airbags (if so
equipped) are designed to supplement
properly worn seat belts and provide
the driver and passenger on the front
seat and rear outboard seat with
protection against head injuries by
deploying the curtain airbag on the side
impacted in certain moderate-to-severe
side impact collisions.
The SRS is NOT a substitute for the
seat belts. To ensure the maximum
protection during all types of collisions
and accidents, all occupants, including
the passengers as well as the driver,
must wear their seat belts.
NOTE The ERA-GLONASS (if so
equipped) is designed to operate when
any of airbags deploy. Refer to
“ERA-GLONASS”.
How the supplemental restraint
system works
The SRS includes the following
components:1. Airbag module (Driver) 2. Front

associated with checking the
operations of the ESC. At this time, you
may feel a shock from the brake pedal if
you depress it. These do not indicate a
malfunction:

may feel a vibration in the vehicle body
or hear a whining sound from the
engine compartment. This indicates
that the system is operating normally. It
does not indicate a malfunction.NOTE When the anti-lock brake
