FIAT 500L - Manual (Page 160)

WARNING
The airbags may also be deployed when
the car is not moving, if the key is in
the ignition and turned to MAR-ON or when
the engine is off, if the car is hit by another
moving vehicle. For this reason, children must
never occupy the front seat in a rearward facing
seat even if the car is not moving. Deployment
of the airbag following an impact could cause
fatal injuries to the child. Should it be
absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
passenger side front seat in a rearward facing
child restraint system, the passenger airbags
(pelvis-chest-shoulder protection front and side
bags) must be deactivated.The passenger seat
must also be positioned back as far as possible
in order to avoid the child restraint system from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
Although this is not mandatory by law, the air
bag should be immediately reactivated when
children are no longer transported to ensure
better protection for adults. On the other hand,
if the key is turned to STOP, none of the safety
devices (airbags or pretensioners) will be
deployed in the event of collision. Non-
deployment of these devices does not indicate a
system malfunction.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, the warning light
switches
on for a few seconds to remind you that the
passenger airbag will be deployed in an impact,
after which, with airbag active, it should switch
off.
WARNING
The flashing light flashes to indicate a
failure of the warning light: in this
case, the pyrotechnic charges of the passenger
airbag are deactivated. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
