All control, repair and replacement
operations concerning the air bags
must only be carried out c/o Fiat
Dealership.
If the car is to be demolished, Fiat
Dealershipshould be contacted to
have the system deactivated.
If the vehicle changes ownership, the
new owner must be informed of the
method of use of air bags and the
above warnings and also be given this
“Owner handbook”.
IMPORTANTThe triggering of
pretensioners, front air bags and side
air bags is decided in a differentiated
manner by the electronic control unit,
depending on the type of crash. The
failure to deploy one or more of them
does not mean that the system is not
working properly.GENERAL NOTES
If the
¬warning light
does not turn on when
turning the ignition key to
M or if it stays on when travelling,
this could indicate a failure in
safety retaining systems; under
this condition air bags or preten-
sioners could not trigger in the
event of collision or, in a re-
stricted number of cases, they
could trigger accidentally. Stop
the car and contact Fiat Dealer-
ship to have the system checked
immediately.
When the ignition key is
turned to M, the warning
light
“(with the passen-
ger’s front air bag deactivation
switch in the ON position) turns
on for about 4 seconds and flash-
es for another 4 seconds to remind
that the passenger’s air bag and
side air bags will be deployed in a
crash, after which it should go off.
IMPORTANTTriggering of the air
bags releases a small amount of pow-
der. This powder is not harmful and
does not indicate the start of fire; al-
so the surface of the deployed bag and
the vehicle interior may be covered by
dusty residue: this may irritate the skin
and eyes. In the event of exposure,
wash with neutral soap and water.
The airbag system has a validity of 14
years for the pyrotechnic charge and
10 years for the coil contact . As this
date approaches, contact a Fiat Deal-
ership.
WARNINGSShould an accident
occur in which the Airbag is activated,
take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership
to have the safety device, the elec-
tronic control unit, the seat belt, the
pretensioners and the electric system
checked.

DRIVING YOUR CAR
141
Be careful when fitting
additional spoilers, light
alloy rims and optional
wheel caps: these devices could
reduce brake ventilation and ef-
ficiency in the event of repeated
and sudden braking or long
downhill drives.Never drive with objects
on the floor in front of the
driver’s seat. The objects
could get jammed under the ped-
als making braking or accelerat-
ing impossible.
Driving while drunk or
under the influence of
drugs or certain medi-
cines is dangerous for both you
and other road users.Pay attention to mats: if
you note even a small
problem in braking, the
pedal stroke may need to be ad-
justed.
Always fasten both front
and back seat belts, in-
cluding child restraint sys-
tems. Travelling with the seat
belts unfastened increases the
risk of injury or death if you are
in a collision.
Water, ice and road salt
may deposit on brake
discs making it difficult to
brake the first time this is neces-
sary.– do not drive too many hours at a
time but stop at intervals to stretch
your legs and recoup your energies;
– make sure the air in the vehicle is
being changed continuously;
– never coast downhill (i.e. with the
engine off): if you do, you lose the aid
of the engine brake, power brakes and
power steering, so that braking and
steering require greater effort.

If the oil level is near or even below
the MIN line, pour in oil through the
filler hole B, until it reaches the MAX
level.
IMPORTANTIf the oil results to
be over the MAX line, go to a Fiat
Dealershipand have the correct oil
level restored.
IMPORTANTAfter topping up or
changing the oil, let the engine turn for
a few seconds and wait a few minutes
after stopping it before you check the
level.
The oil level must never exceed the
MAX line.Used engine oil and re-
placed oil filters contain
substances which can
harm the environment. We rec-
ommend you have the vehicle
seen to at a Fiat Dealership for
the oil and filter change. It is suit-
ably equipped for disposing of
used oil and filters in an environ-
mentally-friendly way that com-
plies with the law. Engine oil consumption
The maximum oil consumption is ap-
proximately 400 grams every 1,000 km.
When the car is new, the engine
needs to run in, therefore the engine
oil consumption can only be consid-
ered stabilised after the first 5,000 -
6,000 km.
IMPORTANTOil consumption
depends on the driving style and the
conditions of use.
