SAFETY DEVICES

Remember that with the key
engaged and at MAR, even

with the engine not running, the air
bags may be triggered on a stationary
car if it is bumped by another moving
car. Therefore, never seat children on
the front seat even when the car is
stationary. On the other hand, re-
member that with the key at STOP
no safety system (air bags or preten-
sioners) is triggered in the event of an
impact; in this case, failure to come
into action cannot be considered as a
sign that the system is not working
properly.

WARNING

GENERAL WARNINGS

If when turning the ignition
key to MAR, the warning

light

¬ does not turn on or if it stays

on when travelling (together with the
message on the display) there could
be a failure in safety systems; in this
event air bags or pretensioners could
not trigger in case of impact or, in a
minor number of cases, they could
trigger accidentally. Contact Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the
system checked.

WARNING

Do not cover the backrest of
front and rear seats with

trims or covers that are not suitable
to be used with side bags.

WARNING

Never travel with objects on
your lap, in front of your

chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. be-
tween your lips; injury may result in
the event of the air bag being trig-
gered.

WARNING

Always keep your hands on
the steering wheel rim when

driving, so that if the air bag is trig-
gered, it can inflate without meeting
any obstacles which could cause seri-
ous harm to you. Do not drive with
the body bent forwards, keep the seat
back rest in the erect position and
lean your back well against it.

WARNING

If the car has been stolen or
an attempt to steal it has

been made, if it has been subjected to
vandals or floods, have the air bag
system checked by Fiat Dealership.
