GENERAL WARNINGS
WARNING
Never travel with objects on your lap, in front of your chest or with a pipe, pencil,
etc. between your lips. Injury may result in the event of the air bag being triggered.
WARNING
If the ¬ warning light does not turn on when turning the ignition key to MAR or if
it stays on when travelling, this could indicate a failure in safety retaining systems;
under this condition air bags or pretensioners could not trigger in the event of
collision or, in a restricted number of cases, they could trigger accidentally. Stop
the car and contact Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
WARNING
Do not cover the back rest of front seats with trims or covers there are not set for
the use of side bags.
WARNING
Always keep your hands on the steering wheel rim when driving, so that if the air
bag is triggered, it can inflate without meeting any obstacles which could cause
serious 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.
