The safety devices complementary to
the front passenger seat belt have to be
activated.
Operating faults
If the activation/deactivation system for
the front passenger air bags is not
functioning, you cannot install the child
restraint on the front seat. We advise
you also not to travel with passengers
seated there.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
WARNING
107)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.108)Do not attach any object (pins, logos,
watches, phone support, etc.) to the
steering wheel.
109)The steering wheel must not be
covered in any way.
110)Dismantling the steering wheel is
prohibited (except by a qualified Fiat
Dealership technician).
111)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.
112)Do not glue anything (pins, logos,
watches, phone supports, etc.) to the
dashboard near the airbag.
113)Do not place anything (animals,
umbrella, cane, boxes, etc.) between the
dashboard and the passenger.
114)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.
115)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.
116)The passenger airbag must be
activated/deactivated when the vehicle is
stationary. If deactivated while driving, theandwarning lights turn on. To
turn these lights off, you need to deactivate
then reactivate the passenger air bag again
when the vehicle is stopped.117)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).
118)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. Otherwise, the CHILD may
risk DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY.

SAFETY

leave immediately and drive at a
speed between 20 and 60 km/h to
uniformly distribute the product on the
tyre and, after 3 kilometres, stop to
check the pressure;
if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
but less than prescribed, you need to
adjust it (see the label attached to the
driver's door pillar), otherwise see a Fiat
Dealership: you cannot repair it.
WARNING
185)There should be no objects at the
driver's feet: in case of sharp braking, they
could slide under the pedals, preventing
their correct use.
IMPORTANT
33)The kit can repair tyres whose treads A
fig. 265 are damaged by foreign objects
smaller than 4 millimetres. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts larger
than 4 millimetres and those on side B
fig. 265 of the tyre. Also make sure the rims
are in good condition. Do not remove the
foreign object that caused the puncture if it
is implanted in the tyre.34)Do not use the inflation kit if the tyre is
damaged by driving with a puncture. Check
the tyre sides carefully before any
intervention. Travelling with partially or
completely deflated tyres (or punctured)
can cause safety problems and damage
the concerned tyre beyond repair. This
reparation is temporary. A tyre that has
been punctured must be examined (and
repaired if possible) by a specialist as soon
as possible. When replacing a tyre repaired
by the kit, always notify the tyre repairer.
When driving, you can feel vibrations
caused by the product being in the tyre.
35)The kit is approved only for inflating
tyres of vehicles that were originally
equipped with it. It should never be used to
inflate another vehicle's tyres or any other
object (life vests, inflatable mattresses,
etc.). Use the repair canister with great care
to prevent getting splashes of product on
the skin. If the product comes in contact
with skin, rinse thoroughly. Do not leave the
repair kit within the reach of children. Do
not leave empty canister in the
environment. Deliver it to a Fiat Dealership
or to a consortium specialised in its
disposal. The canister has an expiration
date indicated on the label. Check the
expiration date. Go to a Fiat Dealership to
replace the inflation hose and repair
canister.
36)Before using the kit, park the vehicle so
it is sufficiently far from traffic, turn on the
emergency lights, pull up the handbrake
and get all the occupants out of the vehicle,
moving them far away from the traffic.37)In case you are stopped by the
carriageway, warn other road users that
your vehicle is there by placing the warning
triangle or other device allowed by law in
the country you are driving in.
38)Caution, a missing or badly screwed on
valve cap could impact the tyre's grip and
cause a loss of pressure. The valve caps
must all be identical to the original ones
and screwed tightly.
39)After repair using the kit, do not drive
farther than 200 km. In addition, lower your
speed, and in any case do not exceed
80 km/h. The label is to be attached in a
visible part of the dashboard. Depending
on the market country or local laws, a tyre
repaired with the inflation kit must be
replaced.
