WARNING<br />
On vehicles equipped with<br />
side bags, do not cover the<br />
backrest of the front seats with<br />
trims or covers.<br />
WARNING<br />
Remember that with the<br />
key engaged and in the<br />
MAR position, even with the engine<br />
not running, the airbags may<br />
be triggered on a stationary vehicle<br />
if it is bumped by another moving<br />
vehicle. Therefore, never seat<br />
children on the front seat even<br />
when the vehicle is stationary. On<br />
the other hand, remember that<br />
with the vehicle stationary, without<br />
the key engaged and turned,<br />
the airbags are not triggered in the<br />
event of an impact; in these cases,<br />
failure to come into action of the<br />
airbags cannot be considered as a<br />
sign that the system is not working<br />
properly.<br />
WARNING<br />
The correct operation of<br />
front and side airbags and<br />
pretensioners is only ensured if the<br />
vehicle is not overloaded.<br />
WARNING<br />
Do not wash the seat back<br />
in vehicles with side bags<br />
with pressurised steam or water in<br />
automatic seat washing station.<br />
WARNING<br />
The airbag does not substitute<br />
the seat belts, but only<br />
increases their effectiveness.<br />
Moreover, since the front airbags<br />
do not come into operation in the<br />
event of front impact at low speed,<br />
side collisions, bumps from behind<br />
or overturning, in these circumstances<br />
the occupants would only<br />
be protected by the seat belts which<br />
must therefore always be fastened.<br />
EOBD SYSTEM<br />
(petrol versions only)<br />
The EOBD (European On Board Diagnosis)<br />
system fitted on the vehicle<br />
complies with Directive 98/69/CE<br />
(EURO 3).<br />
This system continuously monitors<br />
the engine emission system components.<br />
Furthermore, the system warns<br />
the driver of deterioration concerning<br />
the emission system components by<br />
means of the U warning light on the<br />
instrument panel.<br />
The objective is to:<br />
– monitor system efficiency;<br />
– warn when failures can increase<br />
emissions over the threshold established<br />
by the European regulations;<br />
– warn of the need to replace deteriorated<br />
components.<br />
