GENERAL WARNINGS

If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light
¬

does not turn on or if it stays on when
travelling there could be a failure in
safety systems; in this event air bags
or pretensioners could not trigger in
case of impact or, in a minor num-
ber of cases, they could trigger acci-
dentally. Contact Fiat Dealership im-
mediately to have the system
checked.

WARNING

Do not cover the backrest of
front seats with trims or cov-

ers that are not suitable to be used
with side bags.

WARNING

Never travel with objects on
your lap, in front of your

chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. be-
tween your lips; injury may result in
the event of the air bag being trig-
gered.

WARNING

Always keep your hands on
the steering wheel rim when

driving, so that if the air bag is trig-
gered, it can inflate without meeting
any obstacles which could cause seri-
ous harm to you. Do not drive with
the body bent forwards, keep the seat
back rest in the erect position and
lean your back well against it.

WARNING

Remember that with the key
engaged and at MAR, even if

the engine is not running, the air bags
may be triggered on a stationary car
if it is bumped by another moving car.
Therefore, never seat children on the
front seat even when the car is sta-
tionary. On the other hand remem-
ber that if the key is at STOP, no safe-
ty system (air bags or pretensioners)
is triggered in the event of an impact;
in this case, failure to come into ac-
tion cannot be considered as a sign
that the system is not working prop-
erly.

WARNING

If the car has been stolen or
an attempt to steal it has

been made, if it has been subjected to
vandals or floods, have the air bag
system checked by Fiat Dealership.
