Fiat 124 SPIDER ABARTH 2017 User Manual page 102

Note:
In a frontal offset collision, the equipped
air bags and pretensioners may all
deploy depending on the direction,
angle, and rate of impact.
Warning!
Unapproved modifications or service
procedures to the passenger seat
assembly, its related components, seat
cover, or cushion may inadvertently change
the air bag deployment in case of a frontal
collision. This could result in death or
serious injury to the front passenger if the
vehicle is involved in a collision. A modified
vehicle may not comply with required
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS) and/or Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (CMVSS).
If it is necessary to modify the air bag
system for persons with disabilities, contact
your authorized dealer.

Warning!
Deployed air bags and seat belt
pretensioners cannot protect you in
another collision. Have the air bags, seat
belt pretensioners, and the seat belt
retractor assemblies replaced by an
authorized dealer immediately. Also, have
the Occupant Restraint Controller System
serviced as well.
Warning!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning Light in
your instrument panel could mean you
won't have the air bags to protect you in a
collision. If the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is first turned
on, stays on after you start the vehicle,
or if it comes on as you drive, have an
authorized dealer service the air bag
system immediately.
Placing an object on the floor under the
front passenger seat may prevent the
occupant classification sensor from
working properly, which may result in
serious injury or death in a collision. Do not
place any objects on the floor under the
front passenger seat.
If there is a fault present in the occupant
classification sensor, both the Indicator
Light and the Air Bag Warning Light will
illuminate to show that the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag is deactivated.
Should this occur, the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag will remain
deactivated until the fault is cleared.
This indicates that you should take the
vehicle to an authorized dealer for service
immediately.
Limitations To SRS
Air Bag
In severe collisions such as those
described in "SRS Air Bag Deployment
Criteria" paragraph, the applicable SRS
air bag equipment will deploy.
However, in some accidents, the
equipment may not deploy depending
on the type of collision and its severity.
