WARNING
Do not rest your head, arms or elbows
on the door, on the windows and in
the window bag area to prevent injury during
deployment. Never lean your head, arms or
elbows out of the window.
General warnings
WARNING
If when turning the key to MAR the
warning light
does not turn on or
stays on whilst driving, a failure may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this case
the air bags or pretensioners may not be
deployed in an impact or, in a lower number of
cases, they may be deployed accidentally.
Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.
WARNING
Do not cover the front seat backrests
with extra covers if they are equipped
with side bags.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between
your lips (pipe, pencils, etc.): they could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
WARNING
Always drive with your hands on the rim
of the steering wheel rim so that the
airbag can inflate freely if required. Do not
drive with your body bent forward. Keep your
back straight against the backrest.
WARNING
If the car has been stolen or in the case
of attempt to steal it, if it has been
subjected to vandalism or floods, have the air
bag system checked by a Fiat Dealership.
