174SAFETY
The front airbags (driver, passenger, driver’s knee bags)
are designed and calibrated to protect front seat passen-
gers wearing seat belts.
Their volume at the moment of maximum inflation fills
most of the space between the steering wheel and the dri-
ver, between the lower post guard and the knees on pas-
senger side and between the dashboard and the passen-
ger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor front
collisions (for which the restraining action of the seat belts
is sufficient). Safety belts must always be worn. In the
event of frontal impact they guarantee correct positioning
of the passenger. FRONT AIRBAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 12
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a
special recess in the centre of the steering wheel.

With ignition key inserted, at MAR, even if
the engine is off, the airbags can activate al-
so with the car stopped, if it is hit by anoth-
er vehicle. Therefore, even if the car is stationary,
when an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install rear facing child restraint systems on the
front passenger seat. Deployment of the airbag fol-
lowing an impact could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger
airbag when a rear facing child restraint system
is installed on the front passenger seat. The front
passenger seat must also be positioned back as far
as possible in order to avoid the child restraint sys-
tem from coming into contact with the dashboard.
Immediately reactivate the passenger airbag as soon
as the child restraint system has been removed. Al-
so remember that, if the key is turned to STOP, none
of the safety devices (airbags or pretensioners) will
be deployed in the event of collision. Non-deploy-
ment in such cases does not indicate a system mal-
function.When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
“ warning light turns on and blinks for a few
seconds to remind you that the passenger
airbag will activate in the event of a collision. Then
it should turn off.
Do not wash the seats with water or pres-
surised steam (by hand or at automatic car
seat washing stations).
The front airbags deploy in the event of more
severe collisions than those required for de-
ploying the pretensioners. For impacts in the
range between the two activation thresholds, pre-
tensioner activation alone is normal.
Do not hook rigid objects to clothes hangers
and support handles.
The airbag does not replace seat belts; it in-
creases their effectiveness. Furthermore, since
front airbags are not deployed in low speed
collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts or roll-
overs, the passengers are only protected by the seat
belts which must be fastened at all times.

(1) The actual interval for changing the oil and replacing the engine oil filter depends on the vehicle usage conditions a\
nd is signalled by the warning light or message
in the instrument panel. Anyway, it must never exceed 2 years.
If the car is mainly used in towns and cities, change the engine oil and\
filter every year.
(2) Areas that are not dusty: advised maximum mileage 120,000 km. Regardless of the mileage, the belt must be replaced every 6 y ears.
Dusty areas and/or demanding use of the car (cold climates, town use, long peri\
ods of idling): advised maximum mileage 60,000 k m. Regardless of the mileage,
the belt must be replaced every 4 years.
(3) If the car runs on fuel with quality below the relevant European specification, this filter must be replaced every 20,000 km
(4) If the car is used in dusty areas, this cleaner must be replaced every 20,000 km.

The following checks must be carried out more often than
indicated in the Scheduled Servicing Plan:
❍check front disc brake pad condition and wear;
❍ check cleanliness of bonnet and luggage compartment
locks, as well as cleanliness and lubrication of linkages;
❍ visually inspect condition of: engine, gearbox, trans-
mission, pipes and hoses (exhaust – fuel supply system
- brakes) rubber elements (boots – hoses - bushes, etc.);
❍ check battery charge and fluid level (electrolyte);
❍ visually inspect the condition of auxiliary drive belts;
❍ check air cleaner and replace it, if required.
