SAFETY DEVICES
IMPORTANT The front airbags and/or side bags may
be deployed if the car is subject to heavy knocks or
accidents involving the underbody area, such as for
example violent shocks against steps, kerbs or
obstacles, falling of the car in big holes or sags in the
road.
IMPORTANT When the airbag inflates it emits a small
amount of dusts. These dusts are harmless and is not
the beginning of a fire; then the unfold cushion surface
and the car interiors can be covered by a dusty
remains: this dust can irritate skin and eyes. In case of
contact, wash yourself using neutral soap and water.
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in which any
of the safety devices is activated, take the car to a Fiat
Dealership to have the devices activated replaced and
to have the system checked.
All control, check, repair and replacement operations
concerning the airbags must be carried out c/o Fiat
Dealership only.
If you are having the car scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the car
changes ownership, the new owner must be informed
of the method of use of airbags and the above
warnings and also be given this “Owner Handbook”.
IMPORTANT The triggering of pretensioners, front
airbags and side bags is decided in a differentiated
manner by the electronic control unit, depending on
the type of crash. The failure to deploy one or more
of them does not mean that the system is not working
properly.
WARNING

inside the lower oddment compartment. As these dates approach, contact Fiat
Dealership to have them replaced.
