The front passenger classifi-
cation sensor could not de-

tect or correctly classify the occupant
presence because of the interposition
of cushions or sanitary aids (cushions,
rubber rings, etc.), that therefore
should not be used on the front pas-
senger seat.

WARNING

Never place cutting or sharp
objects on the front passen-

ger seat to prevent damaging the
front passenger classification sensor.
Contact a Fiat Dealership in case of
sensor damages.

WARNING

SERIOUS DANGER: The
front passenger classification

sensor is not studied for the
recognition of the children re-
straints and for the conse-

quent automatic deactivation of the
passenger air bag. If you carry a chil-
dren restraint on the front passenger
seat, it is however necessary to de-
activate the front passenger air bag
through the proper deactivation
switch (see previous paragraph).

WARNING

Do not arrange heavy ob-
jects on the front passenger

seat, because in the event of accident,
the front passenger air bag intervenes
if it is not deactivated through the
proper deactivation switch (see pre-
vious paragraph).

WARNING

FRONT PASSENGER
CLASSIFICATION SENSOR
(OCS = Occupant Classification
System) (where provided)

The front passenger air bag is equipped
with a sensor, located inside the passen-
ger seat between the padding and the ex-
ternal cover of the seat, able to recognize
the presence of the occupant and classify
his/her weight.

This allows ensuring the best protection
under any circumstance, modulating the
inflation pressure of the front passenger
air bag as a function of the occupant
weight.

If an adult sits on the front passenger seat,
the relevant front air bag is ready to in-
tervene in case of need. If the passenger
seat is free, the air bag will not intervene.

IMPORTANT To receive the best system
protection in the event of an accident, you
have to seat in proper position.
