Fiat 500 2017 User Manual page 31

Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in another
collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
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 re-
placed by an authorized dealer immediately. Also, have the Occupant Restraint Control-
ler System serviced as well.
NOTE:
• Air bag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim, but they will open during air
bag deployment.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact, if the communication network remains intact, and the power
remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will determine whether
to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following functions:
• Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the hazard light button is
pressed. The hazard lights can be deactivated by pressing the hazard light button.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or for
15 minutes from the intervention of the Enhanced Accident Response System.
• Unlock the power door locks.
Enhanced Accident Response System Reset Procedure
After the event occurs, when the system is active, a message regarding fuel cutoff is dis-
played. Turn the ignition switch from ignition AVV/START or MAR/ACC/ON/RUN to igni-
tion STOP/OFF/LOCK. Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compart-
ment and on the ground near the engine compartment and fuel tank before resetting
the system and starting the engine.
