To deactivate the passen-
ger’s front air bag and the
side bag (where provided), refer to
“”Multifunctional display” paragraph
in the “Dashboard and controls”
chapter.
WARNING
MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF
PASSENGER’S FRONT AIRBAG
AND SIDE BAG
(where provided)
Should it be absolutely necessary to car-
ry a child on the front seat, the passenger’s
front air bag and the Side Bag (where pro-
vided) can be deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
“ill
stay on glowing steadily until reactivat-
ing the passenger’s front air bag and the
Side Bag (where provided).
SIDE AIRBAGS (Side
bags - Window bags)
(where provided)
SIDE BAGS fig. 19
The side bags are arranged in the front
seat backrests and inflate instantly to pro-
tect the chest of occupants in case of
medium-to-high severity crashes.
Side bags 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.
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.
Do not cover the backrest of
the front seats with covers
which are not suitable for use with
side bags.
WARNING
Lineaccessori Fiat has covers suitable for
seats with side bags.
WINDOW BAGS fig. 20
The window bags are accommodated in
the side roof upholstery and are covered
by special trimming. They protect the head
of front and rear occupants in case of side
collisions. The bags are very large.

SAFETY
Have the airbag system
checked by a Fiat Dealership
if the car was stolen, if theft was at-
tempted, or if the car was subjected
to vandalism or flooding.
WARNING
Airbags may be deployed if
another vehicle crashes if the
key is inserted and at MAR also if the
engine is not running and the car is
stationary. For this reason, children
must never sit on the front seat, even
if the car is not moving. On the oth-
er hand, if the key is inserted and at
STOP, none of the safety devices
(airbag or pretensioners) will be de-
ployed in a collision. Non deployment
of the devices in this case does not in-
dicate a system fault.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying ob-
jects in your lap, in front of
your chest or between your lips (pipe,
pencils, etc.): they could cause severe
injury if the airbag is deployed.
WARNING
When the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the warning
light
“(with passenger’s front air
bag active) turns on and flashes for
few seconds to remind that passen-
ger’s air bag will be deployed in a
crash, after which it should go off.
WARNING
Do not wash the seats with
water or steam under pres-
sure (by hand or in automatic wash-
ing station for seats).
WARNING
Front air bag deployment
takes place at a higher level
of impact than the pretensioners. For
collisions in the range between the
two thresholds, it is normal for only
the pretensioners to be activated.
WARNING
Do not attach rigid objects
to the coat hooks and sup-
port handles.
WARNING
An airbag is not a replace-
ment for the seat belts but
increases their efficiency. Further-
more, since front air bags are not de-
ployed in low speed collisions, side
collisions, rear-end shunts or roll-
overs, the passengers are only pro-
tected by the seat belts which must
be fastened at all times.

“DUALDRIVE”
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
(red)
This warning light comes on when the ig-
nition key is turned to MAR, but it should
go off after a few seconds.
The electric power steering system will
not work when the warning light is on and
considerably more effort is needed on the
steering wheel. The car can still be
steered: Go to a Fiat Dealership.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
g
DOOR OPEN (red)
On certain versions the warn-
ing light turns on when one or
more doors or the tailgate are
not properly closed.
The display will show a dedicated message.
A buzzer will sound when doors/tailgate
are open and the car is moving.
´
SEAT BELTS
REMINDER (red)
(where provided)
The warning light on the display
will light up when the car is moving and
the driver’s seat belt is not correctly fas-
tened. The warning light will blink and
a buzzer will sound if the front seat belts
are not correctly fastened. The buzzer of
the S.B.R. (Seat Belt Reminder) system can
only be switched off by a Fiat Dealership.
The system can be reactivated by means
of the setup menu.
<

EBD FAILURE
(red)
(amber)
Warning lights xand >lit at the same
time with the engine running indicates an
EBD system failure or that the system is
not available. Early locking of the rear
wheels may occur in the event of violent
braking causing the car to swerve. Drive
very carefully to a Fiat Dealership to have
the system inspected.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
x
INEFFICIENT
EOBD/INJECTION
SYSTEM (amber)
Under normal conditions, turning
the ignition key to MAR, the warning light
turns on but it should go off after engine
starting.
If the warning light stays on or turns on
when travelling, means a fault in the sup-
ply/ignition system which could cause high
emissions at the exhaust, possible lack of
performance, poor handling and high con-
sumption levels.
The display will show a dedicated message.
Under these conditions, the vehicle can
continue travelling at moderate speed
without demanding excessive effort from
the engine. Prolonged use of the car with
the warning light on may cause damage.
Go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
If warning light will go out after the fault
goes away but it will be stored in the sys-
tem.
