SIGNIFICANT DANGER If it
is necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front
seat with a child seat facing
the back of the car, the pas-
senger airbags (front airbag,
where provided, and side airbag on
seat), must be disabled by means of
the menu of the reconfigurable mul-
tifunctional display, directly verifying
the actual disablement by means of
the light “ located on the dashboard
(see section “Manual disablement of
front and side passenger air bag”).
The passenger seat must be adjusted
in the rearmost position, to avoid any
contact of the child seat with the
dashboard.
WARNING
GROUP 0 and 0+ fig. 10
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing
backwards on a cradle seat, which, sup-
porting the head, does not induce stress
on the neck in the event of sharp decel-
eration.
The cradle is restrained by the car seat
belts and in turn it must restrain the child
with its own belts.
fig. 10F0H0136m
The figure is only an exam-
ple for mounting. Attain to
the instructions for fastening which
must be enclosed with the specific
child restraining system you are using.
WARNING
Seats exist which are suit-
able for covering weight
groups 0 and 1 with a rear connection
to the vehicle belts and their own
belts to restrain the child. Due to their
size, they can be dangerous if in-
stalled incorrectly fastened to the car
belts with a cushion. Carefully follow
the instructions for installation pro-
vided with the seat.
WARNING
fig. 11F0H0137m
GROUP 1 fig. 11
Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, chil-
dren may be carried facing forwards, with
seat fitted with front cushion, through
which the car seat belt restrains both child
and seat.
Seats exist which are suit-
able for covering weight
groups 0 and 1 with a rear connection
to the vehicle belts and their own
belts to restrain the child. Due to their
size, they can be dangerous if in-
stalled incorrectly fastened to the car
belts with a cushion. Carefully follow
the instructions for installation pro-
vided with the seat.

To manually deactivate the

WARNING
MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF
FRONT AIRBAG AND SIDE
BAGON PASSENGER’S SIDE
(where provided)
Whenever a child needs to be carried on
the front seat, the passenger’s front airbag
and the Side Bag (where provided) must
be deactivated.
The warning light
“on the instrument
panel stays on steadily until the passenger’s
front airbag and the Side Bag (where pro-
vided) are re-activated.
SIDE AIR BAGS
(where fitted)
(Side bag - Window
bag)
SIDE BAGS fig. 19
They are formed of an instantaneously-in-
flating 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.
Covers for Side bag seats are available at
Lineaccessori Fiat.
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.
Do not cover the back rest of
front seats with trims or cov-
ers there are not set for the use of side
bags.
WARNING
WINDOW BAGS fig. 20
They are “curtain” cushions located be-
hind the side coverings of the roof and
covered by proper finishings, studied for
the head protection to offer the best pro-
tection to the front and rear occupants
in the event of side crash, thanks to the
wide cushion inflation surface.

GENERAL WARNINGS
Lighting of a warning light is associated to
a specific message and/or buzzer when ap-
plicable. These indications are brief and
precautionaryand as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alterna-
tive to the information contained in the
Owner’s Handbook, which you are rec-
ommended to read carefully in all cases.
Always refer to the information in
this chapter in the event of a failure
indication.
IMPORTANT Failure indications on the
display fall into either of two categories:
seriousfailure and less seriousfailure.
Seriousfailures indicate a “cycle” of
warning messages that stay on until the
cause of the failure is eliminated.
Less seriousfailures are indicated by a
limited warning “cycle”.
Press MODEto stop the warning cycle in
both cases. The warning light on the in-
strument panel will stay on until the cause
of the failure is eliminated.LOW BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL (red)
HANDBRAKE ON (red)
When the ignition key is moved to MAR
the warning light turns on and should go
off after a few seconds.
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the lev-
el of the brake fluid in the reservoir falls
below the minimum level due to possible
leaks in the circuit.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
x
Handbrake on
The warning light turns on when the hand-
brake is on.
On certain versions, if the car is moving
the buzzer also triggers.
IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on
when travelling, check that the handbrake
is not engaged.
AIRBAG
FAILURE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after a few
seconds.
The warning light stays on steady if there
is a failure in the airbag system.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
¬
If the warning light xturns
on when the car is travelling
(together with the message on the dis-
play on certain versions) stop the en-
gine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light
¬does not turn on or stays on during
car travel (together with the message
on the multifunctional display, where
provided), a failure may have oc-
curred in the restraint systems. In this
case the airbags or pretensioners may
not be deployed after an impact or,
in a minor number of cases, they may
be deployed accidentally. Contact Fi-
at Dealership immediately to have
the system checked immediately.
WARNING
The failure of the warning
light
¬is indicated by the
warning light flashing longer than the
expected 4 seconds
“thus signalling
that the front passenger airbag is de-
activated. In addition, the airbag sys-
tem automatically disables the airbag
on the passenger’s side (both front
and side airbags, where provided). In
this case, the warning light
¬does
not necessarily indicate a failure in
the restraining systems. Contact Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the
system checked.
WARNING
HOT ENGINE
COOLANT (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go off after a few
seconds.
The warning light turns on when the en-
gine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on, proceed as
follows:
❒during normal travel: stop the car,
stop the engine and check that the wa-
ter level in the vessel is not under the
MINline. If this is the case, wait for a
few minutes for the engine to cool
down. Then, slowly and carefully open
the cap, top-up with coolant and check
that the level is between the MINand
MAXreference lines on the vessel. Al-
so check for leakages. Should the warn-
ing light turn on again at the next start-
up, contact Fiat Dealership.
u
❒If the vehicle is used under severe
conditions(e.g. towing of trailers up-
hill or fully loaded vehicle): slow down
and stop the car if the warning light
stays on. Stop for 2 or 3 minutes with
the engine running and slightly accel-
erated to favour better coolant circu-
lation. Then stop the engine. Check
correct fluid level as described above.
IMPORTANT Under severe use of the
car, keep the engine on and slightly accel-
erated for a few minutes before switching
it off.
The display will show the dedicated mes-
sage.
LOW BATTERY
CHARGE (red)
When the ignition key is
moved to MAR, the warning
light turns on and should go out as soon
as the engine is started (with the engine
running at idle speed a brief delay in go-
ing out is allowed). If the warning light
stays on, immediately contact Fiat Deal-
ership.
