Door unlocking in the event
of a crash
If the fuel cut-off switch trips following an
accident, the doors will be automatically
unlocked to let you leave the car and the
ceiling lights will be switched on at the
same time. The doors can always be
opened from the inside of the car by
means of the specific levers.
Proceed as follows if no fuel leakage is
found and and the car is in condition to be
driven to rearm the fuel cut-off switch.FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH
The car is fitted with a safety switch that
in the event of a crash comes into opera-
tion by cutting off fuel and turning off the
engine as a consequence.
This device therefore prevents fuel
leaks
due to fuel piping breaking.
IMPORTANT After the accident,
re-
member to remove the electronic key
from the ignition device to prevent drain-
ing the battery.The message “FPS on” will appear on the
digital display when the switch trips. The
mess ag e “F ue l cu t of f swi tch , see ha nd-
book” will appear on the multifunctional
display.
If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switch to
avoid fire risk.
WARNING
If the centralised door lock-
ing system was operated
from inside the car and the fuel cut-
off switch did not manage to auto-
matically release the doors, it will not
be possible to access the passenger
compartment from the outside after
an accident. The possibility of open-
ing the doors from the outside de-
pends on the conditions of the doors
themselves after the accident: if may
not be possible to open a damaged
door. In this case, try to open the oth-
er doors of the car.

IMPORTANT The front air bags may be
deployed if the car is subject to heavy kno-
cks or accidents involving the underbody
area, such as for example violent shocks,
against steps, kerbs of low obstacles, fall-
ing of the car in big holes or sags in the
road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will
be rele ase d when the airb ags are de-
ployed. The dust is not harmful and does
not indicate the beginning of a fire. Fur-
thermore, the surface of the deployed bag
and the interior of the car may be covered
in a dusty residue: this dust may irritate
the skin and the eyes. Wash with mild
soap and water in the event of exposure.
The expiration date of the explosive
charge and the clock wire are shown on a
specific label contained in the oddment
compartment. Go to a Fiat Dealership
to have the devices replaced when
the expiration date approaches.
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in
which any of the safety devices is activat-
ed, take the car to a Fiat Dealership
to have the devices activated replaced
and to have the system checked.
All inspection, repair and replacement op-
erations concerning the air bags must on-
ly be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.If you are having the car scrapped, have
the air bag system deactivated at a Fiat
Deal ers hi p firs t. If the car chang es
ownership, the new owner must be info-
rmed of the meth od of us e of ai r ba gs
and the above warnings and also be gi-
ven this “Owner’s Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags
are deployed according to different logics
on the basic of the type of collision. Non
depl oym ent of one of the de vi ces does
not therefore indicate a system fault.
Never rest head, arms and
elbows on the door, on the
windows area to prevent possible in-
juries during inflation phase.
WARNING
Never lean head, arms and
elbows out of window.
WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light
does not turn on or if it stays on when
travelling (together with the message
on the multifunctional display, where
provided) there could be a failure in
safety systems; in this event air bags
or pretensioners could not trigger in
case of impact or, in a minor number
of cases, they could trigger acciden-
tally. Contact Fiat Dealership im-
mediately to have the system checked.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of
front and rear sea ts with
trims or covers that are not suitable
to be used with side bags.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on
your lap , in front of your
chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. be-
tween your lips; injury may result in
