they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts,
so their activation would not be
appropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does
not indicate a system malfunction.
Do not apply stickers or
other objects to the
steering wheel or the passenger
side airbag cover. Never put
objects (e.g. mobile phones) on
the passenger side of the
dashboard since they could
interfere with correct inflation
of the passenger air bag and
also cause serious injury to the
passengers.
WARNING
Their volume at maximum inflation
fills most of the space between the
steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the
passenger. The airbags are not
deployed in the event of minor front
collisions (for which the restraining
action of the seat belts is sufficient).
Seat belts must always be worn. In
the event of frontal impact they
guarantee correct positioning of the
passenger.

AIRBAG fig. 98
This consists of an instantly inflating
cushion contained in a special recess
in the centre of the steering wheel.
PASSENGER SIDE FRONT
AIRBAG fig. 99
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
This consists of an instantly inflating
cushion contained in a special recess
in the dashboard: this bag has a
larger volume than that on the
driver’s side.
The driver side and passenger side
front airbags have been designed and
calibrated to protect front seat
occupants wearing seat belts.

SEVERE
DANGER:
Do not put cradle seats facing
backwards on the front seat if
the passenger side airbag has
been activated. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could
cause fatal injuries to the child.
Should it be necessary to place
a child seat on the front seat,
always deactivate the
passenger side airbag. The
passenger seat must also be slid
back as far as possible in order,
to prevent the child seat from
coming into contact with the
dashboard. Although this is not
mandatory by law, the airbag
should be immediately
reactivated when children are
no longer carried to ensure
better protection for adults.
WARNINGMANUALLY DEACTIVATING
THE PASSENGER SIDE
FRONT AIR BAG
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Should it be absolutely necessary to
carry a child on the front seat, the
passenger side front airbag can be
deactivated.
With the ignition at STOP, the
airbags can be
deactivated/reactivated using the
ignition key in the special key-
operated switch that can be
accessed with the passenger side
door open.
The key can be inserted and
removed in both positions.
IMPORTANT Only operate the
switch with the engine off and the
ignition key removed.The key-operated switch has two
positions fig. 100:
– passenger front airbag activated
(ON position
P):
warning light
Fon instrument
panel off; carrying children on the
front seat is strictly prohibited.
– passenger front airbag deactivated
(OFF position
F): warning light
Fon instrument panel on;
children, protected with
appropriate restraint systems, may
be carried on the front seat.
The
Fwarning light on the
instrument panel remains on
constantly until the passenger airbag
is reactivated.

E-LOCKER SYSTEM
ELD - ELECTRONIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
Some versions may feature the
E-Locker system, used in conditions
where the vehicle may slip.
This system can lock the front
differential, supplying both front
wheels with the same rotational
speed; in doing so, the wheel with
the greatest grip will be the one
which can propel the vehicle.
The E-Locker System
must not be considered
as a kind of “four-wheel drive”:
the system must not be used on
normal surfaces (dry asphalt
etc.). In any case, the system
deactivates automatically as
soon as the vehicle speed
exceeds 20 km/h.
WARNING
You are advised to use
the E-Locker System
only when a wheel loses grip
resulting in conditions of low
friction (e.g. on roads with
mud, sand, stones, wet grass
etc.).
WARNING
To operate the E-Locker System:
– press the brake pedal (vehicle
stationary);
– press the ELD button-fig. 101
located on the dashboard to the
left of the steering wheel; the
system emits a long beep, the ELD
warning light on the instrument
panel starts to blink and the
display shows a dedicated message
(ELD ON for 5 seconds);
– release the clutch slowly,
accelerating gradually; having
overcome the difficulty, deactivate
the system.
The E-Locker system
must be activated with
vehicle stationary. The expert
driver must be capable of
assessing the conditions of the
terrain before activation.
