FIAT 500L - Manual (Page 158)

IMPORTANT Never lean your head, arms or elbows
out of the window.
IMPORTANT
Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised
steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing
stations).
The front airbags and/or seat-mounted side airbags
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 airbag 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.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement must be
carried out at a Fiat Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the airbag system
deactivated at a Fiat Dealership.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed in different
ways, according to the type of impact. Failure to
deploy of one or more of the devices does not
indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
If, when the key is turned to MAR-ON,
the
warning light does not switch
on or 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.
