PASSENGER'S FRONT
AIRBAG AND CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
116)
Rearward facing child restraint systems
must NEVER be fitted on the front seat
with an active passenger airbag since
in the event of a collision the airbag
activation may cause fatal injuries to the
transported child.

ALWAYS comply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger
side sun visor fig. 196.
Manual deactivation of
front passenger side
airbag and side bag
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If a child must necessarily be carried
on the front seat in a rearward-facing
child restraint system, the front
passenger airbag and side bag (for
152
versions/markets, where provided) can
be deactivated.
WARNING To manually deactivate
the front passenger airbag and side
bag (for versions/markets, where
provided), refer to the "Display" chapter
the "Knowing the instrument panel"
section). The LED on the button
switches on in case of deactivation.
The LED that corresponds to the
symbol
fig. 197 on the dashboard
indicates the passenger's protection
status. If the LED is off, the passenger
side protection is activated.
When the front passenger airbag and
side bag (for versions/markets, where
provided) are activated again, the
warning light turns off.

197
When the vehicle is started (key in
MAR position), the LED turns on for
approx. 8 seconds, provided that at
least 5 seconds have elapsed from the
previous switching off. If not, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is switched off/on again
in less than 5 seconds the LED may
remain off. In this case, to check
correct LED operation, switch the
vehicle off, wait at least 5 seconds and
switch on again.
During the first 8 seconds, the
activation of the LED does not actually
show the passenger protection status,
but only checks its correct operation.
The LED is tested also for markets
where the passenger protection
deactivation is not provided, and the
LED switches on for less than one
second when the key is turned to MAR,
and then switches off again.
The warning light may light up with
various intensity levels depending on
the vehicle conditions. The intensity
may also vary during the same key
cycle.
WARNING
115) Do not apply stickers or other objects

to the steering wheel, the dashboard in the
passenger side airbag area and the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on
the passenger side of the dashboard since
they could interfere with correct inflation
