SAFETY DEVICES
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.
WARNING
WARNING
Remember that with the key engaged and in the MAR position, even with the
engine not running, the air bags may be triggered on a stationary vehicle if it is
bumped by another moving car. Therefore, never seat children on the front seat
even when the vehicle is stationary. On the other hand, remember that with the
ignition key at STOP no safety device (air bags or pretensioners) will be
triggered in the event of an impact; in these cases, failure to come into action
of the air bags cannot be considered as a sign that the system is not working
properly.
WARNING
Do not wash the seat back rest with pressurised water or steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to the MAR position, the warning light F (with
passenger’s front air bag deactivation (where required) switch in the ON position)
turns on and flashes for few seconds to remind that passenger’s air bag will be
deployed in a crash, after which it should go off.
