FIAT Bravo - Manual (Page 156)

the interior of the car may be covered with dusty
residue. This dust can irritate skin and eyes. Wash
with mild soap and water in the event of exposure.
3) Should an accident occur in which any of the
safety devices are activated, take the vehicle to
a Fiat Dealership to have the activated devices
replaced and to have the whole system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement operation
concerning the airbags must only be carried out at
a Fiat Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first. If
the car changes ownership, the new owner must be
informed of the method of use of the airbags and
the above warnings, and also be given this "Owner's
Handbook".
4) Pretensioners, front airbags and front side bags
are deployed differently according to the type of
collision. Failure to deploy of one or more of
the devices does not indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
If the warning light does not turn on
when the key is turned to MAR-ON,
or if it stays on when travelling (together with
the message on the display on some versions),
there could be a failure in the restraint
systems. If this is the case, the airbags or
pretensioners may not trigger in the event of
an accident or, less likely, they may trigger
accidentally. Contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
WARNING
The expiration dates of the explosive
charge and the clock spring are shown
on a specific label contained in the lower glove
compartment. Contact a Fiat Dealership to
have the devices replaced when the expiration
date approaches.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between
your lips (pipe, pencils, etc.): they could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed in an
accident.
