AIR BAG The car is provided with front air bags for the driver and the passenger, driver's knees air bag and side bags - window bags. FRONT AIR BAGS The front air bags (driver, passenger driver's knee bag) protect the occupants of the front seats in the event of moderate to serious front impacts by positioning the bag between the occupant and the steering wheel or the dashboard. Therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor frontal collisions (for which the restraining action of the seat belts is sufficient). Safety belts must always be worn. In the event of frontal collisions they guarantee correct positioning of the passenger. Driver's front air bag This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a special recess in the centre of the steering wheel. fig. 88.
Driver's knee bag (for versions/markets, where provided) It consists of an instantly inflating cushion housed into a special compartment under the lower post guard fig. 90; at driver's knee level, designed to give further protection in the event of a head-on crash.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING of front passengers in the event of side collisions, thanks to the wide cushion inflation surface. 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.
WARNING Do not rest your head, arms or elbows on the door, on the windows and in the window bag area to prevent injury during deployment. Never lean your head, arms or elbows out of the window. 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.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING Airbags may be deployed if another vehicle crashes if the key is inserted and at MAR even if the engine is not running and the car is stationary. For this reason, children must never sit on the front seat, even if the car is not moving. On the other hand, if the key is inserted in STOP position, none of the safety devices (air bags or pretensioners) will be deployed in the event of collision.
STARTING AND DRIVING STARTING THE ENGINE The car is fitted with an electronic engine lock device: if the engine fails to start, see the paragraph “The Fiat CODE system” in the section “Knowing your car”. The engine may be noisier during the first few seconds of operation, especially after a long period of inactivity. This characteristic feature of the hydraulic tappet system does not compromise functionality or reliability: the system chosen for your car was designed to limit maintenance interventions.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR SAFETY STARTING AND DRIVING If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to STOP before attempting to start again. If, when the ignition key is on MAR, the instrument panel warning light remains on together with warning light , turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light remains on, try the other keys provided with the vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start the engine.
