FIAT Panda - Manual (Page 117)

WARNING
The air bag deployment threshold is
higher than that of the pretensioners.
For collisions in the range between the two
thresholds, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.
WARNING
The air bag does not replace seat belts
but increases their effectiveness.
Because front air bags are not deployed for
low-speed crashes, side collisions, rear-end
shunts or rollovers, occupants are protected, in
addition to any side bags, only by their seat
belts, which must therefore always be fastened.
WARNING
If the “red” warning light does not
switch on for a few seconds when the
key is turned to MAR, there may be a fault with
the “red” warning light. In this case, the
“yellow” warning light starts to flash after a few
seconds and, for versions/markets where
provided, the explosive charges of the passenger
air bag and the side bag are deactivated. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
