FIAT Bravo - Manual (Page 155)

Therefore, front side bags (for versions/markets,
where provided) are not a replacement of, but
complementary to, seat belts, which you are
recommended to always wear, as specified by law in
Europe and most non-European countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side impact, the
system provides best protection if the passenger
sits on the seat in a correct position, thus allowing
correct window bag deployment.
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at automatic
seat washing stations).
WARNING
Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of the front
seats with covers which are not suitable
for use with side bags.
WARNING
Do not rest your head, arms or elbows
on the door, on the windows and on the
window bag area to avoid injuries during
inflation.
WARNING
Never lean your head, arms or elbows
out of the window.
GENERAL WARNINGS
1) The front airbags and/or front side bags (for
versions/markets, where provided) may be deployed
if the car is subject to heavy collisions or accidents
involving the underbody area, such as for example
violent shocks against steps, kerbs or low obstacles,
falling of the car in big holes or sags in the road.
2) A small amount of dust will be released when
the airbags are deployed. The dust is harmless and
does not indicate the beginning of a fire.
