In the event of low speed side collisions
(for which seat belts are sufficient
protection), the airbag is not triggered.
Also in this case, it is important
to wear seat belts at all times. This will
ensure correct positioning of the passenger
and prevent being projected
from the vehicle in the event of very
violent crashes.
The side bag (driver and passenger)
is therefore not a replacement of but
is complementary to the use of belts,
which should always be worn, as specified
by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
GENERAL WARNINGS
The front and/or side airbags
may be deployed if the vehicle is
subject to heavy knocks or accidents
involving the underbody
area, such as for example violent
shocks against steps, kerbs or low
obstacles, falling of the vehicle in
big holes or sags in the road.
Triggering of the airbags releases
a small amount of powder.
This powder is not harmful and
does not indicate the start of fire.
The unfold cushion surface and
the vehicle interiors could be covered
by dusty remains: this dust
could irritate skin and eyes. In
case of contact, wash yourself using
neutral soap and water.
The airbag system has a validity
of 14 years as to the pyrotechnic
charge and 10 years as to the coil
contact (see the plate set on the
left front door post near hinges).
As these dates approach, contact
Fiat Dealership for replacement.
If an accident has triggered the
airbag, contact a Fiat Dealership
so that the whole safety device,
electronic control unit, belt, pretensioners
can be replaced and
have the electric system checked
over.
All control, repair and replacement
operations concerning the
airbags must only be carried out
at a Fiat Dealership.
If you are having the vehicle
scrapped, have the airbag system
deactivated at a Fiat Dealership
first.
