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.
