Owner manual

IMPORTANT When the air bag 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.
The air bag system has a validity of 14 years as to the
pyrotechnic charge, and 10 years as to the twisted
contact. As this date approaches, contact Fiat
Dealership to have it replaced.
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 check, repair and replacement operations
concerning the air bags must only be carried out c/o
Fiat Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped, have the air bag
system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If the car
changes ownership, the new owner must be informed
of the method of use of air bags and the above
warnings and also be given this “Owner handbook”.
IMPORTANT The triggering of pretensioners, front
air bags and front side bags is decided in a
differentiated manner. The failure to deploy one or
more of them does not mean that the system is not
working properly.
