PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
84) 85)
19) 20)
3)
Depending on the trim, there could be:load limiters;
driver and front passenger airbags;
These systems are designed to function
separately or at the same time in case
of a frontal collision.
Depending on the violence of the
collision, the system activates:
seat belt locking.
seat belt pre-tensioner (which
activates the belt tension);
the airbags.
WARNING
84)Check the safety devices after every
accident.
85)Any intervention on the complete
system (pre-tensioners, airbags, electronic
modules, wiring) or re-use on another
vehicle, even if identical, is strictly
prohibited.
IMPORTANT
19)In order to prevent accidental
deployments that could cause damage,
only qualified Fiat Dealership personnel can
intervene in pre-tensioners and air bags.
20)Checking the electrical features of the
actuator can only be effected by specifically
prepared personnel using the proper tools.
IMPORTANT
3)When the vehicle is scrapped, see a Fiat
Dealership to remove the pre-tensioner gas
generator and air bags.
SEAT BELTS
86)
For obvious safety reasons, always
fasten the seat belts. In addition, always
comply with the laws of the country you
are in.
IMPORTANT For full effectiveness of the
rear seat belts, make sure that the
single rear seat is correctly locked in
place. Refer to the "Rear single seats”
paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle”
chapter.
Before starting the engine, first adjust
the driving position and adjust the seat
belts to obtain the best possible
protection (for all the passengers).
The safety belts must always be kept
clean. Use products selected by Fiat
Dealership services or soap and warm
water, rubbing with a sponge and
drying with a dry cloth. Do not use
detergents or chemical products.
ADJUSTING THE DRIVER'S
POSITION
Sit with your back against the
backrest (after taking off clothing like
coat, jacket, etc.). This is an essential
factor for correctly positioning the back;
adjust the seat position according to
the pedals. The seat position must be
so as to allow pressing the clutch pedal
all the way. The backrest must be
inclined so arms are slightly bent;

FRONT AIRBAGS
DRIVER AND
PASSENGER AIR BAGS
100) 101)
These are installed in correspondence
to the driver's and front passenger's
seats. The "airbag" mark on the
steering wheel and dashboard (airbag
area A fig. 177 ) are reminders of this
device's presence.
Each air bag system consists of:
an inflatable cushion and relative gas
generator installed in the steering wheel
for the driver and in the dashboard for
the passenger;
an electronic module control system
device that controls the gas generator
electric trigger device;
a single monitoring warning light
on the instrument panel.Operation
The system is operational only after
turning on the starter switch.
In the event of afrontalimpact, the air
bags inflate, allowing limited impact at
the driver's head and chest level
against the steering wheel and for the
passenger against the dashboard; they
deflate immediately after collision so as
not to impede exiting the vehicle
fig. 178.
Irregular operation
The warning light 4 fig. 179 goes on
when the starter device is inserted, and
they go off after a few seconds. If the
light does not go on when the starter
device is inserted or if it goes on when
the engine is on, it indicates a system
malfunction. Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.Any delay in deployment can
compromise effectiveness.
All warnings below are aimed a not
impeding air bag inflation and
avoiding serious injury owing to
flying objects when they open up.

AIR BAG AND CHILD
RESTRAINT
Deactivation of the front passenger
air bags (for vehicles that allow it)
110) 111)
To install a child restraint on the front
passenger seat, you must deactivate
the complements to the front
passenger safety devices.
To deactivate the air bags: with the
vehicle stopped, contact disengaged,
push and turn stop 1 fig. 180 to the
OFF position.
With contact inserted, you must check
that the warning light
on display
panel 2 fig. 181 is on and, depending
on the vehicle version, the appropriate
message appears.This light stays on permanently to
confirm that you can install a child
restraint system on the passenger seat.
The printing on the dashboard and
labels A fig. 182 and fig. 183 on each
side of the passenger’s sun visor 3
fig. 182, remind you of these
instructions.Front passenger air bag activation
When the child restraint is no longer in
use, reactivate the air bag to ensure
front passenger protection in case of an
accident.
Reactivating the airbags: with the
vehicle stopped, contact disengaged,
push and turn stop 1 fig. 184 to the ON
position. With starter switch on, you
must check that the warning light
is
off and that the lighton the display
panel 2 fig. 185 turns on for about
1 minute each time you turn the engine
on.

SAFETY

The safety devices complementary to
the front passenger seat belt have to be
activated.
Functioning defects
If the activation/deactivation system for
the front passenger air bags is not
functioning, you cannot install the child
restraint on the front seat with the head
facing rear. We advise you also not totravel with passengers seated there.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
WARNING
100)The air bag system uses a
pyrotechnical principle, meaning that its
activation produces heat, emits smoke
(that does not mean fire) and generates an
explosive sound. Air bag deployment,
which should be immediate, can cause
skin injuries or other problems.
101)Do not attach any object (pins, logos,
watches, phone support, etc.) to the
steering wheel.
102)The steering wheel must not be
covered in any way.
103)Dismantling the steering wheel is
prohibited (except by a qualified Fiat
Dealership technician).
104)Do not drive to close to the steering
wheel: adopt a driving position with your
arms slightly bent. This position will ensure
a sufficient distance for the air bag to
deploy efficiently.
105)Do not glue anything (pins, logos,
watches, phone supports, etc.) to the
dashboard near the airbag.
106)Do not place anything (animals,
umbrella, cane, boxes, etc.) between the
dashboard and the passenger.
107)Do not rest your feet on the
dashboard or the seat: these positions
could cause serious injuries. In general,
keep all parts of the body (knees, hands,
head, etc.) away from the dashboard.108)The passenger air bag only protects
the side front seat passenger; the centre
front seat passenger is only protected by
the seat belt. We recommend you respect
normal safety regulations (fasten your seat
belt). There may be serious injuries in the
event of an accident.
109)The passenger airbag must be
activated/deactivated when the vehicle is
stationary. If deactivated while driving, the
andwarning lights turn on. To turn
these lights off, you need to deactivate
then reactivate the passenger air bag again
when the vehicle is stopped.
110)When the child restraint is no longer in
use, reactivate the front seat belt
complementary safety devices to ensure
front passenger protection in case of an
accident. Installing a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger is
prohibited until the front seat belt
complementary safety devices have been
deactivated (refer to the "Passenger side
airbag and child restraint systems – how to
deactivate the airbags" paragraph in the
"Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
111)Because of the incompatibility of the
front passenger air bag deployment and
the positioning of a child seat facing
forward, NEVER INSTALL a child restraint
system facing backwards on a seat
equipped with FRONT AIRBAG
ACTIVATION. It could result in a CHILD'S
DEATH or could SERIOUSLY INJURE
him/her.
