Window bags (for versions/markets, where provided)
• These consist of two “drop-down” cushions,
housed behind the side trim of the roof and
covered with finishing elements, which
protect the heads of front occupants in the
event of a side impact, thanks to a wide
cushion deployment area.
• IMPORTANT: in the event of side impact, you
can obtain the best protection from the
system by maintaining a correct position on
the seat, thereby allowing the window bag
to deploy correctly.
• IMPORTANT: the front airbags and/or side
bags may be deployed if the car is subject
to violent impacts or accidents involving
the underbody area, such as for example
violent impacts against steps, kerbs or low
obstacles, big holes or dips in the road.
• IMPORTANT: a small amount of dust will be released when the airbags are
deployed. The dust is harmless and does not indicate the beginning of a fire.
Furthermore, the surface of the deployed bag and the interior of the car may
be covered with dusty residue. This dust can irritate skin and eyes. Wash with
mild soap and water in the event of exposure. The expiry date of the explosive
charge and the clock spring are shown on a specific label on the edge of the
door. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have them replaced when the expiry date
approaches.
• IMPORTANT: should an accident occur in which any of the safety devices is
activated, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the activated devices replaced
and to have the system checked.
• IMPORTANT: pretensioners, front airbags and side bags are deployed in
different ways, according to the type of collision. Failure to deploy of one
or more of the devices does not indicate a system malfunction.
