AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
Turning the ignition key to MAR the warning light
turns on, but it should go off after a few seconds.
The warning light stays on constantly if there is a failure
in the air bag system.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated message.
¬
If, when turning the key to MAR the warn-
ing light
¬ does not turn on or if it stays
on when travelling, there could be a failure in re-
taining systems; in this event air bags or preten-
sioners may not be deployed in case of impact or,
in a minor number of cases, they may deploy ac-
cidentally. Contact a Fiat Dealership immediate-
ly to have the system checked before driving off.
WARNING
The failure of the warning light ¬ (warn-
ing light off) is indicated by flashing for
more than the standard 4 seconds of the front pas-
senger’s air bag deactivated warning light
F .
WARNING
FRONT PASSENGER’S AIR BAG
DEACTIVATED (amber)
The warning light F comes on when the front
passenger’s air bag is deactivated.
With front passenger’s air bag on, when the ignition key
is turned to MAR the warning light F comes on constant-
ly for about 4 seconds, flashes for another 4 seconds and
then should go out.
The warning light F indicates failure of
warning light ¬. This condition is indicat-
ed by intermittent blinking of warning light F for
longer than 4 seconds. In this case, the warning
light
¬ may not indicate failures in the retaining
system. Before resuming driving, contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
