WINDOW BAGS fig. 146
(for versions/markets where provided)
These consist of two “curtain” cushions, one on the right
and the other on the left side of the car, located behind
the side coverings of the roof and covered by appropri-
ate finishings.
Window bags have been designed for protecting the head
of front and rear occupants in the event of a side-on col-
lision, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface.
F0U0127mfig. 145
SIDE BAGS fig. 145
(for versions/markets where provided)
Front side airbags are housed in the seat backrests. They
consist of an instant-inflation bag designed to increase pro-
tection of the occupants’ chest and pelvis zone in the event
of a side-on crash of medium/high severity.

CONTENTS
Do not rest your head, arms or elbows on
the doors, windows or window bag de-
ployment area as you could be injured during the
inflation phase.
WARNING
Never lean you head, arms or elbows out
of the window.
WARNING
Do not cover the front seat backrest with
sheets or covers that are not compatible
with side bags.
WARNING
If, when turning the key to MAR, the warn-
ing light
¬does not turn on or if it stays
on when travelling (together with the message on
the multifunction display, where provided), there
could be a failure in the safety systems; if this is
the case, the airbags or pretensioners may not trig-
ger in the event of an accident or, in a minor num-
ber of cases, they could activate incorrectly. Con-
tact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the
system checked before driving off.
WARNING
GENERAL WARNINGS
Do not travel with objects in your lap,
in front of your chest, or between your lips
(pipes, pencils, etc.). In the event of a crash when
the airbag is deployed, you may be seriously in-
jured.
WARNING
Always drive keeping your hands on the
steering wheel rim so that, in the event of
airbag activation, it can inflate without obstruc-
tion. Do not drive with your body slouched for-
wards; keep the backrest upright and lean back
into it.

SAVING FUEL
Here are some suggestions which may help you to save fu-
el and reduce the amount of toxic emissions released in-
to the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures at least once every 4 weeks: if
the pressure is too low, consumption levels increase as re-
sistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of
the car (especially when driving in town) and its arrange-
ment greatly affect fuel consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or ski rack from the roof after use.
These accessories decrease aerodynamic penetration and
have a negative effect on fuel consumption. It is better to
use a trailer to transport particularly bulky objects.Electrical devices
Use electrical devices only for the amount of time need-
ed. The heated rear window, auxiliary headlights, wind-
screen wipers and fan heater use up a considerable amount
of current, causing increased fuel consumption (up to
+25% in the urban cycle).
Air conditioning
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel consumption (on av-
erage up to +20%). If the temperature outside is not too
extreme, try and use the air vents.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified spoilers may adversely affect aero-
dynamics and fuel consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or high revs when the
vehicle is stationary; this causes the engine to warm up more
slowly, thereby increasing fuel consumption and emissions.
It is advisable to set off immediately and slowly, avoiding high
revs: this allows the engine to warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when stationary at traffic lights or before
stopping the engine. The latter action, like double de-
clutching, is entirely unnecessary and causes increased fu-
el consumption and pollution.

❒clean and protect the painted parts using protective
wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds readily available;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen
and rear window wiper blades and lift them off the
glass;
❒open the windows slightly;
❒cover the car with a fabric or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use compact plastic sheets which do not allow
humidity to evaporate from the surface of the car;
❒inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check regularly;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery from the electrical
system, check its charge every month and recharge it
if the indicator shows a dark colour without the cen-
tral green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.
IMPORTANT Where relevant, switch off the car alarm
with the remote control.
CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month,
the following precautions should be observed:
❒park the car in covered, dry and, if possible, well-ven-
tilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is engaged;
❒disconnect the clip for the negative battery terminal
and check battery charge. Repeat this check once
every three months during storage. Recharge the
battery if the indicator is dark and the middle area is
not green;

WARNING
Keep your speed down when snow chains
are fitted: do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid
potholes, steps and pavements, and do
not drive for long distances on roads not
covered with snow to prevent damaging
the car and the road surface.

HEAVY USAGE OF THE VEHICLE
Should the car be used predominantly in one of the fol-
lowing particularly demanding conditions:
❒ trailer or caravan towing;
❒ dusty roads;
❒short (less than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys in sub-
zero temperatures;
❒frequently idling engine or long-distance, low-speed dri-
ving (e.g. door-to-door deliveries), or in the event of
long-term inactivity;
❒ in cities;
perform the following inspections more frequently than
shown on the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❒ check condition and wear of front disc brake pads;
❒check cleanliness of bonnet and boot locks, as well as
cleanliness and lubrication of linkages;
❒visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox, trans-
mission, pipes and tubes (exhaust – fuel – brakes), rub-
ber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc.);
❒check battery charge and liquid level (electrolyte);
❒ visually inspect condition of accessory drive belts;
❒ check pollen filter and replace it, if required;
❒ check air filter and replace, if required.
REGULAR CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and, if nec-
essary, top up:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressures and conditions;
❒operation of lighting system (headlights, direction indi-
cators, hazard lights, etc.);
❒operation of the windscreen wiper/washer system, po-
sition and wear of the windscreen and rear window
wiper blades;
Check and top up, if required, the engine oil level every
3,000 km.
You are recommended to use PETRONAS LUBRICANTS
products, which have been designed and produced specif-
ically for Fiat cars (see table “Capacities” in the “Techni-
