The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor. The pretensioner tight-
ens the seat belt so the belt fits the oc-
cupant’s body more snugly in the event of
a frontal crash. The retractors will remain
locked after the pretensioners are acti-
vated. Upon activation, some noise will oc-
cur and some smoke may be released.
These conditions are not harmful and do
not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
The driver and all passengers must be
properly restrained by wearing seat belts
at all times, whether or not a pretension-
er is equipped at their seating position, to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash.
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do
not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the
belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn
low across the pelvis, not across the waist.
Please refer to the “Seat Adjustment” sec-
tion and the instructions and precautions
about the seat belts in this “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section for de-
tails on proper seat and seat belt adjust-
ments.
Service on or around the
pretensioner system compo-
nents or wiring must be performed
only by an authorized Fiat Dealership
who is specially trained. Improper ser-
vice could result in unintended acti-
vation of pretensioners or could ren-
der the pretensioner inoperative. Ei-
ther of these two conditions may re-
sult in personal injury.
WARNING
To prevent damage or unintended activa-
tion of the pretensioners, be sure the bat-
tery is disconnected and the ignition switch
has been in the “LOCK” position for at
least 90 seconds before performing any
electrical service work on your Fiat.
Do not touch pretensioner system com-
ponents or wiring. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow. When scrapping your
Fiat, ask your Fiat Dealership, body repair
shop, or scrap yard for assistance. Please note that the pretensioners along
with the air bags will activate only in se-
vere frontal collisions. They are not de-
signed to activate in rear impacts, side im-
pacts, rollovers, or minor frontal colli-
sions. The pretensioners can be activat-
ed only once. If the pretensioners are ac-
tivated (that is, if the air bags are activat-
ed), have the pretensioner system ser-
viced by an authorized Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink or come on briefly
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, stays on for more than 10
seconds, or comes on while driving, the
pretensioner system or the air bag system
may not work properly. Have both sys-
tems inspected by an authorized Fiat Deal-
ership as soon as possible.

FRONT AIR BAGS
The driver’s front air bag is located behind
the center pad of the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s front air bag is lo-
cated behind the passenger’s side of the
dashboard. The words “SRS AIRBAG” are
molded into the air bag covers to identi-
fy the location of the air bags. If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink when the ignition
switch is first turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, or the “AIR BAG” light stays on, or
comes on while driving, the air bag system
(or the seat belt pretensioner system (if
equipped)) may not work properly. Have
the air bag system inspected by an autho-
rized Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

Frontal collision range
Do not apply stickers or oth-
er objects to the steering
wheel or to the air bag cover on the
passenger’s side or on the side roof
lining. Never put objects (e.g. mobile
phones) on the dashboard on pas-
senger side since they could interfere
with proper air bag inflation and al-
so cause serious injury.

IMPORTANT The remote controller is
a sensitive electronic instrument. To avoid
damaging the remote controller:
❒Do not expose it to impacts, moisture
or high temperature such as on the
dashboard under direct sunlight.
❒Keep the remote controller away from
magnetic objects such as a television.
You can also turn the ignition switch by
inserting the ignition key into the slot.
If you leave any of the doors open with the
ignition switch in the “ACC” position for
a while (and no key inserted), the engine
may not start when you turn the ignition
switch to “START”. If the engine does not
start, close all doors completely or turn
the ignition switch back to the “LOCK”
position, then start the engine.
The ignition switch has the following four
positions:ACC (2)
Accessories such as the radio can oper-
ate, but the engine is off.
ON (3)
This is the normal operating position. All
electrical systems are on.
START (4)
This is the position for starting the engine
using the starter motor. The switch should
be released from this position as soon as
the engine starts. LOCK (1)
This is the normal parking position. It is
the only position in which the key can be
removed. It locks the ignition, and pre-
vents normal use of the steering wheel.
To release the steering lock, turn the ig-
nition switch clockwise to one of the oth-
er positions. If you have trouble turning
the ignition switch to unlock the steer-
ing, try turning the steering wheel slightly
to the right or left while turning the
switch.

TURN SIGNAL OPERATION
With the ignition switch in the “ON” po-
sition, move the lever up or down to ac-
tivate the right or left turn signals.
Normal turn signal
Move the lever all the way upward or
downward to signal. When the turn is
completed, the signal will cancel and the
lever will return to its normal position.Lane change signal
Some times, such as when changing lanes,
the steering wheel is not turned far
enough to cancel the turn signal. For con-
venience, you can flash the turn signal by
moving the lever part way and holding it
there. The lever will return to its normal
position when you release it. REAR FOG LIGHT SWITCH
To turn the rear fog light on, twist the
knob as shown in the illustration with the
head light switch in the third position.
When the rear fog light is on, an indicator
light on the instrument cluster will come
on. Do not turn the rear fog light switch
unless the head light switch is in the third
position.

turned to the “OFF” position, the rear fog
light switch will be canceled automatically.

If the lever is equipped with the “INT
TIME” control, turn the control forward
or rearward to adjust the intermittent
wiper operation to the desired interval.WINDSHIELD WASHER
To spray windshield washer fluid, pull the
lever toward you. The windshield wipers
will automatically turn on at low speed if
they are not already on and the “INT” po-
sition is equipped.
WINDSHIELD WIPER
AND WASHER LEVER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
To turn the windshield wipers on, move
the lever down to one of the three op-
erating positions. In the “INT” position
(if equipped), the wipers operate inter-
mittently. The “INT” position is very con-
venient for driving in mist or light rain. In
the “LO” position, the wipers operate at
a steady low speed. In the “HI” position,
the wipers operate at a steady high speed.
To turn off the wipers, move the lever
back to the “OFF” position.
Move the lever up and hold it to the
“MIST” position, the windshield wipers
will turn on continuously at low speed.
IMPORTANT Never use the window
wiper to remove ice or snow from the
windscreen. In these conditions, the wiper
is submitted to excessive effort that re-
sults in motor protection cutting in and
wiper operation inhibition for few seconds
as a consequence. If operation is not re-
stored (also after restarting the vehicle by
the ignition key) contact Fiat Dealership.

To prevent windshield icing in
cold weather, turn on the de-
froster to heat the windshield before
and during windshield washer use.
Do not use radiator antifreeze in the
windshield washer reservoir. It can se-
verely impair visibility when sprayed
on the windshield, and can also dam-
age your vehicle’s paint.
