POWER WINDOWS
For the 2-button version (only front power windows)
no type of automatism (either opening or closing) is
provided. For the 4-button version (front and rear
power windows), the driver side is provided with both
opening and closing automatism, whereas the
passenger side is only provided with opening
automatism (where provided also closing automatism).
Rear windows are only provided with opening
automatism.
IMPORTANT In the event that the anti-crushing
function is activated 5 times in only 1 minute, the
system will automatically enter the “recovery” mode
(self-protection). This conditions is pointed out by the
fact that, in the closing phase, the window goes up in
jerks.
WARNINGThe system conforms to Standard 2000/4/EC concerning the safety of
passengers leaning out of the windows. The system guarantees protection only
against obstacles set between the inside and the outside of the car but not
vice versa. So, it is necessary to carry out the system restore
procedure, acting as follows:
❒perform opening control;
or
❒turn the key to STOP and then to MAR.
The logic is restored if no malfunction is present, the
window returns to its normal operation automatically;
otherwise contact a Fiat Dealership.

FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS
The car is fitted with front air bags for the driver and
for the passenger, and window bags (head protection
system); upon request the car can be fitted also with
front side bags;
The front air bag (driver and passenger) has been
designed to protect the occupants in the event of
head-on crashes of medium-high severity, by placing
the cushion between the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.Front air bags are designed to protect car’s occupants
in front crashes and therefore non-activation in other
types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-
overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.
In case of crash, an electronic control unit, when
required, triggers the inflation of the cushion.
The cushion immediately inflates, placing itself as a
protection between the body of the front occupants
and the structure that could cause injuries.
Immediately after, the cushion deflates.
The front air bag (driver and passenger) is not a
replacement of but complementary to the use of belts,
which should always be worn, as specified by law in
Europe and most non European countries.

SIDE AIR BAGS (where fitted)
(Side bag - Window bag)
SIDE BAGS
They are formed of an instantaneously-inflating cushion housed in the
back rest of front seats and their task is to increase protection of the
occupants in the event of a side crash of medium-high severity.
F0H0147m
WARNING
Do not cover the back rest of front seats
with trims or covers there are not set for
the use of side bags.
F0H0148m
Covers for Side bag seats are available at Lineaccessori Fiat.
WINDOW BAGS (where fitted)
They are “curtain” cushions located behind the side coverings of the roof
and covered by proper finishings, studied for the head protection to offer
the best protection to the front and rear occupants in the event of side
crash, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.
The side air bag is not a replacement of but complementary to the use of
belts, which should always be worn, as specified by law in Europe and
most non European countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash, you can obtain the best
protection by the system keeping a correct position on the seat, allowing
thus a correct window bag unfolding.
IMPORTANT The front air bags and/or side bags may be deployed if the
car is subject to heavy knocks or accidents involving the underbody area,
such as for example violent shocks against steps, kerbs or low obstacles,
falling of the car in big holes or sags in the road.
