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

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.

Booster seats
From 15 kg or 4 years up, a child can
travel on a booster seat that adapts the
seat belt to his/her shape fig. 188. The
booster seat must have guides that
position the belt on his/her thighs and
not on the stomach.
The height-adjustable backrest and
seat belt track is recommended to
position the belt at the centre of the
shoulder. It must never rest on the neck
or arm. Choose an encompassing child
seat for better side protection.INSTALLING A CHILD RESTRAINT
SEAT
Some child seats cannot be installed.
The diagrams on the following pages
show the child seat attachment
position.
Before using a child restraint system,
make sure that it can be fitted.
In the front seat
Carrying children in the front passenger
seat is country-specific. Check with the
current laws and follow the indications
in the following diagram.
Before installing a child seat in this seat
(if authorised):
lower the seat belt completely;
move the seat back completely;
incline the backrest slightly (about
25°);
for vehicles that are able to do so,
raise the seat as high as possible.
Raise headrest as far up as possible so
that it does not interfere with the child
restraint system (refer to the "Front
headrest" paragraph in the "Knowing
your vehicle” chapter).
After installing the child seat, you can
move the seat forwards again (to leave
enough space in the rear for other
passengers or child seats). With a
rear-facing child restraint system, it
should not touch the dashboard or
anything in front of it.
Do not change any other adjustments
after installing the child seat.In the rear side seat
The cot is installed crosswise with
respect to the vehicle and takes up at
least two seats. Place the child's head
opposite the door. Move the front seat
as far forward as possible to install the
child seat backwards from driving
direction, then move it back to
maximum so it does not come into
contact with the child seat.
For the safety of children who are facing
forward, do not move the seat in front
of the child back farther than the centre
of its travel, do not incline the backrest
excessively (25° at most) and raise the
seat up as far as possible.
Remove the headrest from the rear seat
with the child restraint system on it
(refer to the "Rear headrest" paragraph
in the "Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
This must be done before positioning
the child seat.
Make sure that the forward-facing child
restraint system is resting against the
seat backrest.
In the rear central seat
Make sure the seat belt is adapted to
your child seat. Consult a Fiat
Dealership.

(about 30 seconds), the pressure gauge
5 fig. 259 briefly indicates a pressure of
up to 6 bar, then it goes back down
again.
adjust the pressure: to increase it,
continue inflating the tyre with the kit; to
lower it, press button 6 fig. 259.
If after 15 minutes a minimum pressure
of 1.8 bar has not been reached, it
means that you cannot repair the tyre;
do not drive and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Once the tyre has been correctly
inflated, remove the kit: slowly unscrew
the inflation hose 1 fig. 259 so the
product does not spatter and replace
the canister in a plastic bag so that the
product does not leak out.
Attach the instruction label on the
dashboard where the driver can see it;
replace the kit in the tool bag and put
it back under the driver's seat;
when the first inflation has been
done, the tyre will continue to lose air
and you need to start driving again to
plug the hole;
