FIAT Panda - Manual (Page 115)

IMPORTANT
Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised
steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing
stations).
The front air bags and/or side bags may be deployed
if the car is subject to violent impacts involving the
underbody area (e.g. violent impacts against steps or
kerbs, big holes or dips in the road etc.).
When the air bag deploys it emits a small amount of
dust: the dust is harmless and does not indicate
the beginning of a fire. The dust may irritate the skin
and eyes however: in this case, wash with neutral
soap and water.
Air bag checking, repair and replacement must be
carried out at a Fiat Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the air bag system
deactivated at a Fiat Dealership.
Pretensioners and air bags are deployed in different
ways, according to the type of impact. Failure to
deploy of one of the devices does not necessarily
indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
If the warning light stays on whilst
driving, a fault 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 few cases, they may be deployed
accidentally. Before continuing, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
WARNING
In the event of “yellow” warning light
failure, the “red” warning light
switches on and, for versions/markets where
provided, the explosive charges of the passenger
air bag and the side bags are deactivated.
When the "red" warning light is on, before
proceeding, contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the system immediately checked (see previous
warning).
WARNING
On vehicles with side bags, do not cover
the front seat backrests with extra
covers.
