Pretensioners and airbags are deployed
in different ways on the basis of the
type of collision. Failure to deploy
of one of the devices does not
necessarily indicate a system
malfunction.
WARNING
102) Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dashboard
in the passenger side airbag area, on
the side cover on the roof and on
the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile
phones) on the passenger's side
dashboard since they could interfere with
correct inflation of the airbag and also
cause serious injury to the passengers.
103) Always drive keeping your hands on
the steering wheel rim so that the airbag
can inflate freely if necessary. Do not drive
with your body bent forward. Keep your
back straight against the backrest.
104) When an active passenger airbag is
fitted, DO NOT install rearward facing child
restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the child
regardless of the severity of the impact.
Therefore, always deactivate the passenger
side airbag when a rearward 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 prevent the child
restraint system from coming into contact
with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate
the passenger airbag as soon as the child
restraint system has been removed.
105) Do not affix rigid objects to the coat
hooks or support handles.
106) Do not rest the head, arms or elbows
on the door, windows and window bag
area to avoid possible injuries during
inflation.
107) Never lean your head, arms and
elbows out of the window.
108) If the
warning light stays on whilst
driving, a fault may have occurred in the
restraint systems. In this case the airbags
or pretensioners may not be deployed
in an impact or, in a lower number of
cases, they may be deployed accidentally.
Before continuing, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
109) 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 airbag 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).
110) On vehicles with side bags, do not
cover the front seat backrests with extra
covers.
111) 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.
112) If the vehicle has been stolen or in the
case of attempt to steal it, if it has been
subjected to vandalism or floods, have the
airbag system checked by a Fiat
Dealership.
