SAFETY for Your Fiat Tipo 4 Door Second Generation (2015-2026)

SAFETY  
The chapter that you are about to read  
is very important: it describes the safety  
systems with which the car is equipped  
and provides instructions on how to  
use them correctly.

The system also improves control and  
stability of the car when braking on a  
surface where the grip of the left and  
right wheels varies, or on corners.  
The Electronic Braking Force  
Distribution (EBD) system completes  
the system allowing the brake force to  
be distributed between the front and  
rear wheels.  
ESC (Electronic Stability  
Control) SYSTEM

ACTIVE SAFETY  
SYSTEMS  
40)  
The ESC system improves the  
directional control and stability of the  
car in various driving conditions.  
The ESC system corrects the car’s  
understeer and oversteer, distributing  
the brake force on the wheels  
appropriately.  
The car has the following active safety  
systems:  
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System);  
DTC (Drag Torque Control);  
ESC (Electronic Stability Control)  
(where provided);  
System intervention  
TC (Traction Control);  
The torque supplied by the engine can  
also be reduced in order to maintain  
control of the car.  
A slight pulsing of the brake pedal and  
noise indicates the intervention of the  
ABS: this is completely normal when  
the system intervenes.  
PBA (Panic Brake Assist);  
HHC (Hill Hold Control);  
ERM (Electronic Rollover Mitigation);  
TSC (Trailer Sway Control).  
TRACTION PLUS  
The ESC system uses sensors installed  
on the car to determine the trajectory  
that the driver intends to follow and  
compares it with the car’s effective  
trajectory.  
41) 42) 43) 44) 45) 46) 47)  
For the operation of the systems, see  
the following description.  
DTC (Drag Torque  
Control) SYSTEM  
The system prevents the drive wheels  
from possibly locking, which could  
happen, for example, if the accelerator  
pedal is released suddenly or in  
the case of a sudden downshifting  
in conditions of poor grip. In this  
conditions, the exhaust braking effect  
could cause the drive wheels to slip,  
resulting in a loss of stability of the car.  
In these situations, the DTC system  
intervenes, restoring torque to the  
motor in order to conserve car stability  
and increase car safety.  
ABS (Anti-lock Braking  
System)  
When the real trajectory deviates  
from the desired trajectory, the ESC  
system intervenes to counter the car’s  
understeer or oversteer.  
This system, which is an integral part  
of the braking system, prevents one  
or more wheels from locking and  
slipping in all road surface conditions,  
irrespective of the intensity of the  
braking action, ensuring that the  
car can be controlled even during  
emergency braking and optimising  
stopping distances.  
Oversteer: occurs when the car is  
turning more than it should according  
to the angle of the steering wheel.  
Understeer: occurs when the car is  
turning less than it should according to  
the angle of the steering wheel.  
System intervention  
The system intervention is signalled  
by the flashing of the instrument panel  
The system intervenes during braking  
when the wheels are about to lock,  
typically in emergency braking or low-  
grip conditions, when locking may be  
more frequent.

TC (Traction Control)  
SYSTEM  
that the car is in critical stability and  
grip conditions.  
The system automatically operates  
in the event of slipping, loss of grip  
on wet roads (aquaplaning) and  
acceleration on slippery, snowy or  
icy roads, etc. on one or more drive  
wheels. Depending on the slipping  
conditions, two different control  
systems are activated:  
uphill: car stationary on a road  
with a gradient higher than 5%,  
engine running, brake pressed and  
transmission in neutral or gear other  
than reverse engaged;  
downhill: car stationary on a road  
with a gradient higher than 5%, engine  
running, brake pressed and reverse  
gear engaged.  
53) 54) 55) 56) 57)  
PBA (Panic Brake  
Assist) SYSTEM  
The PBA system is designed to  
improve the car’s braking capacity  
during emergency braking.  
The system detects emergency braking  
by monitoring the speed and force with  
which the brake pedal is pressed, and  
consequently applies the optimal brake  
pressure. This can reduce the braking  
distance: the PBA system therefore  
completes the ABS.  
if the slipping involves both drive  
wheels, the system intervenes,  
reducing the power transmitted by the  
engine;  
if the slipping only involves one of the  
drive wheels, the BLD (Brake Limited  
Differential) function is activated,  
automatically braking the wheel  
which is slipping (the behaviour of a  
self-locking differential is simulated).  
This will increase the drive torque  
transferred to the wheel that is not  
slipping.  
When setting off, the ESC system  
control unit maintains the braking  
pressure on the wheels until the  
drive torque necessary for starting is  
reached, or in any case for a maximum  
of 2 seconds, allowing your right foot to  
be moved easily from the brake pedal  
to the accelerator.  
Maximum assistance from the PBA  
system is obtained by pressing the  
brake pedal very quickly. In addition,  
the brake pedal should be pressed  
continuously during braking, avoiding  
intermittent presses, to get the most  
out of the system. Do not reduce  
pressure on the brake pedal until  
braking is no longer necessary.  
The PBA system is deactivated when  
the brake pedal is released.  
When the 2 seconds have elapsed,  
without starting, the system is  
automatically deactivated, gradually  
releasing the braking pressure.  
During this release stage, the typical  
mechanical brake release noise can be  
heard, indicating that the car is about  
to move.  
This function remains active even  
if the "Systems partially disabled"  
and "Systems disabled" modes  
are selected (see description in the  
following pages).

ERM (Electronic Rollover  
Mitigation) SYSTEM  
The system monitors the tendency of  
the wheels to rise from the ground  
if the driver performs extreme  
manoeuvres like quick steering to avoid  
an obstacle, especially in poor road  
conditions.

transferring the drive force to those  
which have greater grip on the ground.  
This system can be activated manually  
by pressing button on the side panel  
fig. 88 and works at speeds under 50  
km/h.  
When the system is active, the warning  
light flashes on the instrument panel

braking can be felt on the individual  
wheels, following the attempt to  
eliminate the swerving of the trailer.

TRACTION PLUS SYSTEM  
(for versions/markets, where provided)  
Traction Plus is a driving aid,  
useful for setting off in poor grip  
conditions on non-homogeneous road  
surfaces (snow/asphalt, ice/asphalt,  
mud/asphalt, etc.), which allows the  
drive force to be distributed adequately  
on the engine axle when one of the two  
drive wheels slips.  
flashes on the instrument panel  
and the system, intervening on the  
brakes and engine power, limits the  
possibility that the wheels are raised  
from the ground. It is not possible  
to avoid tendency to roll over if the  
phenomenon is due to reasons such as  
driving on high side gradients, collision  
with objects or other cars.  
TRACTION PLUS  
OPERATION  
When the engine is started the system  
is disabled.  
To activate the Traction Plus system,  
press the button shown in fig. 88:  
63)  
The driver must press the accelerator  
pedal to achieve efficient traction.  
TSC (Trailer Sway  
Control) SYSTEM  
The system employs a series of  
sensors located on the car to identify  
excessive swerving of the trailer and  
take the necessary precautions to  
eliminate it.  
WARNING Do not demand too much  
performance from the vehicle when  
driving with "Traction Plus" mode  
activated. Improper use can cause  
serious damage to the vehicle, such as  
oil leaks from the gearbox, overheating  
of the clutch or clutches (for versions  
with mechanical or automatic  
To counteract the effect of trailer sway,  
the system can reduce the engine  
power and intervene on the wheels  
involved. The TSC system activates  
automatically once excessive sway of  
the trailer is detected.

the front axle, through the braking  
system, to improve traction on irregular  
grounds.  
43) When the ABS intervenes it means  
that you are approaching the grip limit  
between tyres and road: Slow down to  
exploit all the available grip.  
44) The ABS cannot overrule the natural  
laws of physics, and cannot increase the  
grip available according to the condition of  
the road.  
45) The ABS cannot prevent accidents,  
including those due to excessive speed  
on corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or  
aquaplaning.  
46) The capability of the ABS must never  
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously,  
in such a way as to compromise personal  
safety and the safety of others.  
52) ESC performance features must not  
induce the driver to take unnecessary or  
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must  
always be suited to the road conditions,  
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any  
case, responsible for safe driving.  
53) For the correct operation of the TC  
system, the tyres must of necessity be  
the same make and type on all wheels,  
in perfect condition and, above all, of the  
prescribed type and dimensions.  
54) TC performance features must not  
induce the driver to take unnecessary or  
unwarranted risks. Your driving style must  
always be suited to the road conditions,  
visibility and traffic. The driver is, in any  
case, responsible for safe driving.  
55) The TC system cannot overrule the  
natural laws of physics, and cannot  
increase the grip available according to the  
condition of the road.  
If the "Traction Plus" system is faulty,  
the "general failure" instrument panel  
warning light  
comes on steady.  
When travelling on snowy roads with  
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn  
the Traction Plus on and thus inhibiting  
the TC system: in fact, in these  
conditions, slipping of the drive wheels  
when moving off makes it possible to  
obtain better traction.  
47) For the correct operation of the ABS,  
the tyres must of necessity be the same  
make and type on all wheels, in perfect  
condition and, above all, of the prescribed  
type and dimensions.  
IMPORTANT  
56) The TC system cannot prevent  
accidents, including those due to  
excessive speed on corners, driving on  
low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.  
57) The capability of the TC system  
must never be tested irresponsibly  
and dangerously, in such a way as to  
compromise personal safety and the  
safety of others.  
58) The PBA system cannot overrule  
the natural laws of physics, and cannot  
increase the grip available according to the  
condition of the road.  
59) The PBA system cannot prevent  
accidents, including those due to  
excessive speed on corners, driving on  
low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.  
60) The capability of the PBA system  
must never be tested irresponsibly  
48) The ESC system cannot alter the  
natural laws of physics, and cannot  
increase grip, which depends on the  
condition of the road.  
49) The ESC system cannot prevent  
accidents, including those due to  
excessive speed on corners, driving on  
low-grip surfaces or aquaplaning.  
50) The capability of the ESC system  
must never be tested irresponsibly  
and dangerously, in such a way as to  
compromise personal safety and the  
safety of others.  
40) To achieve maximum efficiency of  
the braking system, a settlement period  
of about 500 km (310 miles) is required.  
During this time, avoid sudden, repeated  
and prolonged braking.  
41) When the ABS cuts in and you feel  
the brake pedal pulsating, do not remove  
your foot, but keep the pedal pushed  
down; in doing so you, will stop in the  
shortest distance possible under the road  
conditions at the time.  
42) To achieve maximum efficiency of the  
braking system, a settlement period of  
about 500 km is required. During this time,  
avoid sudden, repeated and prolonged  
braking.

system, the tyres must necessarily be of  
the same make and type on all wheels,  
in perfect condition and, above all, of the  
prescribed type and size.

to signal the driver that the system is  
active.  
and dangerously, in such a way as to  
compromise the safety of the driver, the  
other occupants of the car or any other  
road user.  
61) The Hill Hold Control system is not a  
parking brake; therefore, never leave the  
car without having engaged the parking  
brake, turned the engine off and engaged  
first gear, so that it is parked in safe  
conditions (for further information read the  
"Parking" paragraph in the "Starting and  
driving" chapter).  
not homogeneous and/or differentiated  
between the two drive wheels.  
67) Until the setting off manoeuvre is  
terminated, fully press the accelerator  
pedal to transfer the appropriate drive  
torque to the wheel with the best grip.  
DRIVING  
ASSISTANCE  
SYSTEMS  
62) There may be situations on small  
gradients (less than 8%), with vehicle  
laden, in which the Hill Hold Control  
system may not activate, causing a slight  
reversing motion and increasing the risk of  
collision with another vehicle or object. The  
driver is, in any case, responsible for safe  
driving.  
63) The performance of a car with ERM  
must never be tested in imprudent or  
dangerous ways, with the possibility of  
putting the safety of the driver or other  
people at risk.  
The car is fitted with the following  
driving assistance systems:  
BSA (Blind Spot Assist)  
AEB Control (Autonomous  
Emergency Braking Control)  
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure  
Monitoring System)  
Post Collision Braking  
For the operation of the systems, see  
the following description.  
89  
P2000272  
64) When towing trailers, the utmost  
caution at the wheel is recommended.  
Never exceed the maximum permitted  
loads (see the description in the "Weights"  
paragraph in the "Technical Specifications"  
chapter).  
65) The TSC system cannot prevent  
swerving for all trailers. If the system  
activates during driving, reduce the speed,  
stop the car in a safe place and arrange  
the load correctly to prevent the trailer  
from swerving.  
BSA (BLIND SPOT  
ASSIST) SYSTEM  
(where provided)  
The system uses two radar sensors,  
located in the rear bumper (one for  
each side - see fig. 89) to detect the  
presence of vehicles (cars, trucks,  
motorbikes, etc.) in the rear side blind  
spots of the car.

The sensors are activated by engaging  
any forward gear at a speed higher  
than about 10 km/h, or when reverse is  
engaged. The sensors are temporarily  
deactivated when the car is at a

standstill with the parking brake  
engaged.  
If a trailer is hitched to the car, the  
system automatically deactivates.  
For the system to operate correctly,  
the rear bumper area where the radar  
sensors are located must stay free from  
snow, ice and dirt gathered from the  
road surface.  
RCP (Rear Cross Path detection)  
system  
The detection area of the system  
covers about a lane on both sides of  
the vehicle (around 3 metres). This  
area begins from the door mirror and  
extends for about 6 metres towards the  
rear part of the car.  
This system helps during reverse  
manoeuvres in the case of reduced  
visibility.  
During "RCP" operating mode, the  
system produces acoustic and visual  
indications when if the presence of an  
object is detected.  
Do not cover the rear bumper area  
where the radar sensors are located  
with any object (e.g. adhesives, bike  
rack, etc.).  
With the sensors active, the system  
monitors the detection areas on both  
sides of the vehicle and warns the  
driver about the possible presence of  
vehicles in these areas.  
The system can be  
activated/deactivated through the  
display Menu or the Uconnect™  
system.  
If a tow hook has to be installed after  
purchasing the vehicle, the system  
must be deactivated from the display  
Menu or through the Uconnect™  
system.  
While driving the system monitors the  
detection area from three different input  
points (side, rear and front) to check  
whether a signal needs to be sent to  
the driver. The system can detect the  
presence of a vehicle in one of these  
three areas.  
The system monitors the rear detection  
areas on both sides of the vehicle,  
to detect objects moving towards  
the sides of the vehicle at a minimum  
speed comprised between about  
1 km/h and 3 km/h and objects moving  
at a maximum speed of 35 km/h, as  
generally happens in the parking areas.  
The system activation is signalled to  
the driver by means of a visual and  
acoustic warning.  
Rear view: the system detects  
vehicles approaching to the rear part of  
your vehicle on both sides and entering  
the rear detection area with a speed  
delta lower than 50 km/h with respect  
to your vehicle.  
Important notes  
68)  
Overtaking vehicles: if another  
vehicle is overtaken slowly (with a  
speed delta lower than about 25 km/h)  
and this stays in the blind spot for  
about 1.5 seconds, the warning light  
on the door mirror of the corresponding  
side lights up. If the difference in speed  
between the two vehicles is greater  
than about 25 km/h, the warning light  
does not light up.  
The system does not signal the  
presence of fixed object (e.g. safety  
barriers, poles, walls, etc.). However,  
in some circumstances, the system  
may activate in the presence of these  
objects. This is normal and does not  
indicate a system malfunction.  
The system does not warn the driver  
about the presence of cars coming  
from the opposite direction, in the  
adjacent lanes.  
WARNING If the sensors are covered  
by objects or vehicles, the system will  
not warn the driver.  
"Blind Spot Alert", "Visual" mode:  
when this mode is active, the BSA  
system sends a visual warning to  
the door mirror relating to the object  
detected. The visual warning will flash  
85  
if the driver activates the direction  
indicators to indicate a change in lane  
in the direction of the object detected.  
The visual warning will be fixed if  
the driver remains in the same lane.  
However, when the system operates  
in RCP (Rear Cross Path) mode, it  
will respond with visual and acoustic  
alarms when it detects an object.  
"Blind Spot Alert", "Visual +  
Acoustic" mode: when this mode is  
active, the BSA system sends a visual  
warning to the door mirror relating to  
the object detected.  
order to prevent or reduce the effects  
of a potential accident.  
AUTONOMOUS  
EMERGENCY BRAKING  
CONTROL SYSTEM (AEB  
Control)  
If the system does not detect any  
action by the driver, it can intervene by  
braking automatically to attenuate the  
potential accident (automatic braking).  
If the system detects that the driver is  
pressing the brake pedal, but this is  
not deemed sufficient, the system  
may intervene in order to improve  
the reaction of the braking system,  
therefore reducing car speed further  
(additional assistance during braking).  
The system will not intervene if the  
driver takes control of the car and  
is recognised as being aware of the  
situation and possible collision.

This is a driving assistance system  
consisting of a camera mounted in  
the middle of the windscreen fig. 91  
capable of intervening in case of  
vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.  
In the event of an imminent impact the  
system may intervene by braking the  
car to prevent the crash or reduce its  
effects.  
If the direction indicator on the side  
where an obstacle has been detected  
is activated, an acoustic warning is  
emitted as well.  
Versions equipped with Start&Stop  
system: at the end of the automatic  
braking, the Start&Stop system will  
activate as described in paragraph  
"Start&Stop system" of the "Starting  
and driving" chapter.  
When the acoustic warning is emitted,  
the Uconnect™ volume is lowered.  
"Blind Spot Alert" function  
deactivation: When the system is  
deactivated ("Blind spot alert" mode  
at "OFF"), the BSA or RCP systems  
will emit neither acoustic nor visual  
warnings. The BSA system will store  
the operating mode running when the  
engine was switched off: each time the  
engine is started, the operating mode  
stored previously will be recalled and  
used.  
Versions with manual transmission:  
at the end of the automatic braking the  
engine may stall and turn off, unless the  
driver presses the clutch pedal.

Activation/deactivation  
The default option is "Near". With this  
setting, the system will warn the driver  
of a possible accident with the vehicle  
in front when it is close. This setting  
offers the driver a lower reaction time  
compared to the "Med" and "Far"  
settings, in the event of a potential  
collision, but permits more dynamic  
driving of the vehicle.  
If the Autonomous Emergency Braking  
Control system has been correctly  
activated from the Menu, it will be  
active each time the engine is started.  
Following a deactivation, the system  
will not warn the driver about the  
possible accident with the preceding

selected.  
supplement available online).  
With the system sensitivity set to "Far",  
the system will warn the driver of a  
possible collision with the vehicle in  
front when that vehicle is at a greater  
distance, thus providing the possibility  
of acting on the brakes more lightly  
and gradually. This setting provides  
the drivers with the maximum possible  
reaction time to prevent a potential  
accident.  
The system can be turned off even with  
the ignition device in MAR position.  
The system deactivation status will not  
be stored when the engine is switched  
off: if the system is deactivated when  
the engine is switched off, it will be  
active when it is next started.  
After a deactivation, the system can be  
reactivated from the menu.  
WARNING The system status can be  
changed with car at a standstill only.  
The Autonomous Emergency Braking  
Control system can be set by selecting  
one of the 2 Menu options:  
The function is not active at speed  
above 5 km/h.  
System active: the system (if active),  
in addition to the visual and acoustic  
warnings, can provide automatic  
braking and additional assistance  
during braking, if the driver does not  
brake hard enough in the event of a  
potential accident with the vehicle in  
front;  
System deactivated: the system  
does not give visual and acoustic  
warnings, limited braking, automatic  
braking or additional assistance during  
braking. The system will therefore  
provide no indication of a possible  
accident.  
Changing the setting to “Med”, the  
system warns the driver of a possible  
accident with the vehicle in front when  
it is at a standard distance, between  
that of the other two settings. This  
setting offers the driver reaction time  
longer than that of the "Near" setting  
but shorter than that of the "Far" setting  
in the event of a potential accident.  
The system sensitivity setting is kept  
in the memory when the engine is  
switched off.  
The system is only active if:  
it is correctly activated through the  
Menu;  
the ignition device is at MAR;  
car speed is higher than 5 km/h;  
the front seat belts are fastened.  
Changing the system sensitivity  
The sensitivity of the system can be  
changed through the Menu, choosing  
from one of the following three options:  
"Near", "Med" or "Far". See the

in conditions of high reflectivity (e.g.  
tunnels with reflective tiles or ice or  
snow). When the conditions limiting the  
system functions end, this will go back  
to normal and complete operation.

Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat  
Dealership.  
If the deactivation warning light comes  
on together with the failure warning  
lights without having intentionally  
deactivated the system, a condition  
temporarily disabling operation of the  
system may have occurred. The main  
possible causes of this temporary  
blinding may be weather-related (heavy  
rain, fog, sun low down on the horizon,  
etc.).  
Settings  
Activation status and system settings  
can be changed via the menu (see  
"Settings" > "Safety & Driving Assist" >  
"Autonomous Emergency Braking").  
System Fault Message  
If atmospheric conditions are not the  
real reason behind this message, check  
if the camera is dirty.  
If the system switches off and a  
dedicated message is shown on the  
display, it means that there is a fault on  
the system.  
Although the car can still be driven in  
normal conditions, the system may be  
temporarily not available.  
It could be necessary to clean or  
remove any obstructions in the area  
shown in fig. 91.  
When the conditions limiting the  
system functions end, this will go back  
to normal and complete operation.  
Should the fault persist, contact a Fiat  
Dealership.  
In this case, it is still possible to drive  
the car, but you are advised to contact  
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.  
If the message appears often, even in  
the absence of atmospheric conditions  
such as snow, rain, mud or other  
obstructions, contact a Fiat Dealership  
for a camera check.  
Camera indication not available  
If conditions are such that the camera  
cannot detect obstacles correctly, the  
system is deactivated and a dedicated  
message appears on the display.  
This generally occurs in the event  
of poor visibility, such as when it is  
snowing or raining heavily.  
Warning of system disabling due to  
an obstruction  
In the absence of visible obstructions,  
cleaning the camera surface, by  
manually removing the decorative  
cover trim, could be required. For this  
operation, contact a Fiat Dealership.  
If the dedicated message is displayed,  
a condition disabling operation of  
the system may have occurred. The  
possible cause of this disabling is a  
camera obstruction. If an obstruction  
is signalled, clean the area of the  
windscreen indicated in fig. 91  
and check that the message has  
disappeared. Although the car can still  
be driven in normal conditions, the  
system is not available.  
The system can also be temporarily  
dimmed due to obstructions such as  
mud, dirt or ice on the windscreen.  
In such cases, a dedicated message  
will be shown on the display and  
the system will be deactivated. This

the car (e.g. a flyover). In the same  
way, the system may intervene inside  
multi-storey car parks or tunnels, or  
due to a glare on the road surface.  
These possible activations follow the  
normal operating logic of the system  
and must not be regarded as faults.  
The system has been designed for  
road use only. If the car is driven off-  
road, the system must be deactivated,  
to avoid unnecessary warnings.  
The system should be deactivated  
when the car is loaded on a train, ferry  
or lorry, when it is towed or put on a  
roller test bench.  
Low tyre pressure  
The system warns the driver if one or  
more tyres are flat by turning on the  
warning light on the instrument panel  
together with an acoustic warning.

This warning is displayed also when  
turning the engine off and on again until  
the RESET procedure is carried out.  
Reset procedure  
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-  
learning" phase (with length depending  
on the driving style and road  
conditions: optimal conditions being  
driving on a straight road at 80 km/h for  
at least 20 minutes) which starts when  
the RESET procedure is carried out.  
The RESET procedure must be carried

The vehicle is equipped with the iTPMS  
(indirect Tyre Pressure Monitoring  
System), which monitors the tyre

pressure values specified in the inflation  
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph  
in the "Technical Specifications"  
chapter).  
in place of the space-saver wheel as  
soon as possible; if possible remove  
the snow chains; make sure that the  
load is distributed correctly and repeat  
the RESET procedure, driving on a  
clean and surfaced road. If the signals  
persist, contact a Fiat Dealership.  
Operating conditions  
The system is active for speeds above  
15 km/h.  
In a few situations such as sporty  
driving, particular conditions of the road  
surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced  
roads) the signalling may be delayed or  
partial in detecting the contemporary  
deflation of more than one tyre.  
Under special conditions (e.g. car  
loaded asymmetrically on one side,  
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,  
fitting the space-saver wheel, use  
of the "Fix&Go" tyre repair kit, fitting  
snow chains, fitting different tyres on  
the axles) the system may provide  
false indications or be temporarily  
deactivated.  
If the RESET is not carried out, in all  
above cases, the warning light may  
give false indications on one or more  
tyres.  
POST COLLISION  
BRAKING SYSTEM  
(where provided)  
To carry out the RESET, with the  
vehicle stationary and the engine on,  
hold down the Reset button located  
on the left control panel fig. 96 for at  
least 2 seconds.  
The Post Collision Braking system  
activates the brakes in case of a  
collision at the front, side or rear of  
the car, to avoid further swerving or  
collisions.  
When the RESET procedure has been  
carried out, and depending on the  
type of instrument panel, either only a  
buzzer will be heard or the message  
"Reset saved" will appear together with  
the buzzer to indicate that self-learning  
has started.  
The system, operational at all speeds,  
is activated when the airbag control  
module deploys further to a collision  
which has just happened. The Post  
Collision Braking system does not  
automatically brake the car if the  
accident has damaged the braking  
system or the stability control.  
The Post Collision Braking system is  
not activated if the stability control has  
failed.  
If the system is temporarily deactivated,  
the warning light flashes for about  
75 seconds and then is continuously.  
This warning is displayed also after  
the engine has been switched off and  
then on again if the correct operating  
conditions are not restored.  
In the case of abnormal signals, it is  
recommended to perform the RESET  
procedure. If the warnings reappear  
once the RESET procedure has  
started, check that the same type of  
tyre is used on all four wheels and  
that the tyres are not damaged; if the  
space-saver wheel is being used, refit a  
wheel with a tyre of normal dimensions  
The system is deactivated if the  
driver floors the accelerator during its  
activation.  
96  
P2001053  
If the pressure the driver applies to the  
brake pedal is lower than that applied  
by the Post Collision Braking system,  
the system is still activated.  
91  
If the pressure the driver applies to the  
brake pedal is higher than that applied  
by the system, the system deactivates.  
in an automatic car wash with an obstacle  
in the front part (e.g. another car, a wall or  
another obstacle), the system may detect  
its presence and activate. In this case the  
system must be deactivated through the  
settings of the Uconnect™system.  
74) If the iTPMS system signals a pressure  
drop on the tyres, it is recommended to  
check the pressure on all four tyres.  
75) The TPMS does not relieve the driver  
from the obligation to check the tyre  
pressure every month; it is not even to  
be considered a replacing system for  
maintenance or a safety system.  
76) Tyre pressure must be checked with  
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for  
whatever reason to check pressure with  
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even  
though it is higher than the prescribed  
value, but repeat the check when tyres are  
cold.  
77) The TPMS cannot indicate sudden  
tyre pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts).  
In this case, stop the vehicle, braking with  
caution and avoiding abrupt steering.  
78) The system only warns that the tyre  
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate  
them.  
79) Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel  
consumption, reduces the tread duration  
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.  
21) The section of the bumper in front the  
sensor must not be covered with stickers,  
auxiliary headlights or any other object.  
22) System intervention might be  
unexpected or delayed when other cars  
transport loads projecting from the side,  
above or from the rear, with respect to the  
normal size of the car.  
23) Operation can be adversely affected  
by any structural change made to the  
car, such as a modification to the front  
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load  
than the standard load of the car.  
24) Incorrect repairs made on the front  
part of the car (e.g. bumper, chassis,  
windscreen) may alter the position of the  
camera sensor, and adversely affect its  
operation. Go to a Fiat Dealership for any  
operation of this type.  
25) Do not tamper nor operate on the  
camera sensor. In the event of a sensor  
failure, contact a Fiat Dealership.  
26) When towing a trailer (with modules  
installed after purchasing the car), a  
vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on  
a car carrier (or in vehicle for transport),  
the system must be deactivated via the  
Uconnect™system.  
27) Do not wash with high-pressure jets in  
the windscreen upper area: in particular do  
not operate on the electrical connector of  
the system.  
28) Be careful in case of repairs and  
replacement of the windscreen in the zone  
around the sensor. In the event of a frontal  
impact that may involve the windshield,  
the sensor may automatically deactivate  
and display a warning to indicate that the  
sensor needs to be repaired. Even without  
a malfunction warning, deactivate the  
IMPORTANT  
68) The system is an aid for car driving,  
it DOES NOT warn the driver about  
incoming cars outside of the detection  
areas. The driver must always maintain  
a sufficient level of attention to the traffic  
and road conditions and for controlling the  
trajectory of the vehicle.  
69) The system is an aid for the driver,  
who must always pay full attention while  
driving. The responsibility always rests with  
the driver, who must take into account  
the traffic conditions in order to drive in  
complete safety. The driver must always  
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in  
front.  
70) If the driver presses the accelerator  
pedal fully or steers abruptly during  
system operation, the automatic braking  
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible  
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).  
71) The capability of the Autonomous  
Emergency Braking Control (AEB Control)  
system must never be tested irresponsibly  
or dangerously, in such a way as to  
compromise personal safety and the  
safety of others.  
WARNING  
72) The system intervenes on vehicles  
travelling in the same lane. People, animals  
and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken  
into consideration.  
73) If the car must be placed on a roller  
bench for maintenance or if it is washed

SEAT BELTS  
system operation if you think that the  
position of camera sensor has changed  
(e.g. due to low-speed frontal impact or  
damaged windshield). In these cases, go  
to a Fiat Dealership to have the camera  
sensor realigned or replaced.  
All car seats are equipped with seat  
belts with three anchorage points and a  
retractor.  
The reel mechanism operates locking  
the belt in the event of sharp braking  
or strong deceleration due to a  
collision. This allows the belt strap to  
slide freely and to adapt to the body  
of the occupant. In the event of an  
accident, the belt will lock reducing the  
risk of impact inside the passenger  
compartment and of being projected  
outside the car.  
OCCUPANT  
PROTECTION  
SYSTEMS  
97  
06056J0004EM  
Some of the most important safety  
equipment of the car comprise the  
following protection systems:  
seat belts;  
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;  
head restraints;  
child restraint systems;  
Front air bags, side air bags and  
drop down air bags (where provided).  
Read the information given the  
following pages with the utmost care.  
It is of fundamental importance that  
the protection systems are used in the  
correct way to guarantee the maximum  
possible safety level for the driver and  
the passengers.  
On removal of the belt, if it jams, let it  
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it  
out again without jerking.  
To unfasten the seat belts, press  
button (3) fig. 97 and guide the seat  
belt with your hand while it is rewinding,  
to prevent it from twisting.  
The driver is responsible for respecting,  
and ensuring that all the other  
occupants of the vehicle also respect,  
the local laws in force in relation to the  
use of the seat belts.  
80) 81)  
The retractor may lock when the car  
is parked on a steep slope: this is  
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the  
reel mechanism locks the belt if it is  
pulled sharply or in the event of sudden  
braking, collisions and high-speed  
bends.  
Always fasten the seat belts before  
setting off.  
USING THE SEAT BELTS  
The seat belt should be worn keeping  
the chest straight and rested against  
the backrest.  
To fasten the seat belts, hold fastening  
tongue (1) fig. 97 and insert it into  
buckle (2), until it clicks into place.  
Once seated, wear the rear seat belts  
as shown in fig. 98.  
For the description of the head restraint  
adjustment see the "Head restraints"  
paragraph in the "Knowing your car"  
chapter.

SBR (SEAT BELT  
REMINDER) SYSTEM  
(for versions/markets, where provided)  
The SBR system warns the passengers  
of the front and rear (where provided)  
seats if their seat belt is not fastened.  
The system warnings unfastened seat  
belts with visual warnings (warning  
lights on in the instrument panel  
and symbols on the display) and an  
acoustic warning (see the following  
paragraphs).

NOTE To deactivate the acoustic  
warning permanently go to a Fiat  
Dealership. The acoustic warning can  
be reactivated at any time through  
the display menu (see the "Display"  
paragraph in the "Knowing the  
instrument panel" chapter).  
80) Never press button (3) when travelling.  
81) Remember that, in the event of an  
accident, the rear seat passengers not  
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very  
serious risk and also represent a serious  
danger for the front seat occupants.  
Front seat belt warning light  
operation  
100  
P2000314  
When the ignition device is at MAR,  
the warning light (see fig. 99 figure  
for versions with the Base display or  
fig. 100 for versions with the Premium  
display) comes on for a few seconds,  
regardless of the status of the front  
seat belts.  
As soon as a speed threshold of 20  
km/h is reached, with driver seat belt  
or passenger side seat belt (with  
occupant seated) are unfastened,  
an acoustic warning is activated  
simultaneously with warning light  
flashing for about 105 seconds.  
Once activated, this indication cycle  
stays active for the entire time if the  
car is moving faster than 8 km/h or if  
reverse gear is not engaged or until the  
seat belts are fastened.  
With the car stopped or at a speed  
under 20 km/h, if the driver seat belt  
or the passenger side seat belt (with  
occupant seated) are unfastened, the  
warning light stays on constantly.  
94  
When the reverse is engaged, during  
the alert cycle, the acoustic signal is  
deactivated and the warning light  
turns on fixed. The cycle of warnings  
will be reactivated as soon as speed  
exceeds 8 km/h again.

The symbols shown on the display  
(fig. 101 on versions with Base display  
or fig. 102 on versions with Premium  
display) indicate:  
A: rear left seat belt;  
B: rear central seat belt;  
C: rear right seat belt.  
If the car speed drops to less than  
8 km/h or if reverse gear is engaged  
during the warning cycle, the tone will  
be interrupted and the warning light  
switches on fixed.  
102  
P2000399  
If the entire time has not elapsed and  
reverse gear is not engaged, the  
indication cycle is reactivated as soon  
as the car speed exceeds 20 km/h  
again.  
With the car travelling as speed lower  
than 20 km/h, if a rear seat belt is  
unbuckled, the symbol stays on with  
fixed light for a total of approximately  
65 seconds.  
Operation of rear seat belt symbols  
The symbols are shown on the display  
(fig. 101 versions with the Base display  
or fig. 102 versions with the Premium  
display) a few seconds after setting the  
ignition device to MAR.  
The symbols are displayed according  
to the corresponding rear seat belts  
and stay on for about 65 seconds from  
the last seat belt status change:  
if the seat belt is fastened the  
corresponding symbol will be green;  
if the seat belt is unfastened the  
corresponding symbol will be red.  
If the car is travelling at a speed  
faster than 20 km/h and reverse is  
not engaged, if a rear seat belt is  
unbuckled, an acoustic warning is  
sounded when the symbol blinks  
for approximately 35 seconds.  
Successively, the acoustic warning is  
deactivated and the symbol lights up  
with fixed light until the end of the entire  
cycle.  
The symbols are displayed according  
to the corresponding seat belts in the  
rear seats and remain on for about 65  
seconds after the doors are closed or  
following a change in belt status.

WARNING To obtain the highest  
degree of protection from the action of  
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt  
tight to the torso and pelvis.  
PRE-TENSIONERS  
The car is equipped with seat belt  
pretensioners for the front seats (on  
some versions for the rear seats as  
well). These draw the seat belts back  
by several centimetres in the event of  
a strong frontal impact to ensure that  
the seat belts adhere perfectly to the  
occupants' bodies before retention  
begins.  
WARNINGS  
As far as the rear seats are concerned,  
the SBR system will only indicate  
whether the seat belts are unfastened  
(red symbol) or fastened (green  
symbol), not the presence of any  
passengers.  
LOAD LIMITERS  
82)  
29)  
To increase safety in the event of an  
accident, the front seat belt retractors  
contain a device which controls the  
force acting on the chest and shoulders  
during the belt restraining action in the  
event of a frontal collision.  
The warning lights/symbols all stay  
off if all seat belts (front and rear) are  
fastened when the ignition device is set  
to MAR.  
It is evident that the pretensioners have  
been activated when the safety belt  
withdraws toward the retractor.  
This car is also equipped with a second  
pretensioner (in the kick plate area). Its  
activation is signalled by the shortening  
of the metal cable and rolling up of the  
protective sheath.  
For the rear seats, the symbols will  
activate a few seconds after the  
ignition device has been turned to  
MAR, regardless of the status of the  
seat belts (even if the seat belts are all  
fastened).  
GENERAL  
INSTRUCTIONS FOR  
USING THE SEAT BELTS  
83) 84) 85)  
A slight discharge of smoke may be  
produced during the activation of the  
pretensioner which is not harmful and  
does not involve any fire hazard.  
The pretensioner does not require  
any maintenance or lubrication: any  
changes to its original conditions will  
invalidate its efficiency.  
Seat belts must also be worn by  
pregnant women: the risk of injury in  
the event of an accident is reduced for  
them and the unborn child if they are  
wearing a seat belt.  
All the warning lights/symbols will come  
on when at least one belt changes from  
fastened to unfastened status or vice  
versa.  
Pregnant women must position the  
lower part of the belt very low down so  
that it passes over the pelvis and under  
the abdomen fig. 103.  
NOTE The rear seat passenger must  
fasten the seat belt when seated.  
The car may emit a prolonged beep  
indicating that the rear seat passenger  
needs to check that they have fastened  
their seat belt.  
If, due to unusual natural events  
(floods, sea storms, etc.), the device  
has been affected by water and/or  
mud, contact a Fiat Dealership to have  
it replaced.  
While pregnancy progresses, the  
driver must adjust both seat and  
steering wheel to have full control  
over the vehicle (pedals and steering  
wheel must be easy to access). The  
maximum clearance should be kept  
96  
between the abdomen and the steering  
wheel.  
Each seat belt must be used by only  
one person. Never travel with a child  
sitting on the passenger's lap and  
a single belt to protect them both  
fig. 105. In general, do not place any  
objects between the person and the  
belt.  
prevent the retractors from getting  
wet: their correct operation is only  
guaranteed if water does not get inside;  
replace the seat belt when it shows  
wear or cuts.  
The seat belt strap must not be  
twisted. The upper part must pass  
over the shoulder and cross the  
chest diagonally. The lower part must  
adhere to the pelvis fig. 104, not to the  
abdomen of the occupant. Never use  
devices (clips, clamps, etc.) that hold  
the seat belt away from your body.  
IMPORTANT  
82) The pretensioner may be used only  
once. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have it  
replaced after it has been deployed.  
83) Removing or tampering with seat  
belt and pretensioner components is  
strictly prohibited. Any intervention on  
these components must be performed  
by qualified and authorised technicians.  
Always go to a Fiat Dealership.  
105  
F1B0109C  
84) For maximum safety, keep the  
backrest upright, lean back into it and  
make sure the seat belt fits closely across  
your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the  
seat belts on both the front and the rear  
seats! Travelling without wearing seat belts  
will increase the risk of serious injury and  
even death in the event of an accident.  
85) If the belt has been subjected to high  
levels of stress, for example after an  
accident, it should be changed completely  
together with the attachments, attachment  
fixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact,  
even if there are no visible defects, the belt  
could have lost its resistance properties.  
SEAT BELTS  
MAINTENANCE  
103  
F1B0107C  
For keeping the seat belts in efficient  
conditions, carefully observe the  
following warnings:  
always use the seat belt well  
stretched and never twisted; make  
sure that it is free to run without  
obstructions;  
check seat belt operation as follows:  
attach the seat belt and pull it hard;  
replace the seat belt after an  
accident of a certain severity even if  
it does not appear to be damaged.  
Always replace the seat belt if the  
pretensioners were deployed;

their body and the child's muscular  
and bone structures are not fully  
developed. Therefore, correct restraint  
systems other than adult seat belts  
are necessary, to reduce as much as  
possible the risk of injuries in the event  
of an accident, braking or sudden  
manoeuvre.  
WARNING  
IMPORTANT  
29) Operations which lead to impacts,  
vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C  
for a maximum of six hours) in the area  
around the pretensioner may cause  
damage or make it deploy. Contact a  
Fiat Dealership should intervention be  
necessary on these components.  
86) SEVERE DANGER When a front  
passenger airbag is fitted, do not install  
rearward facing child restraint systems  
on the front passenger seat. Deployment  
of the airbag in a crash could cause fatal  
injuries to the child regardless of the  
severity of the collision. It is advisable to  
always carry children in a child restraint  
system on the rear seat, which is the  
most protected position in the event of a  
collision.  
87) On the sun visor there is a label with  
suitable symbols reminding the user that  
it is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if  
a rearward facing child restraint system is  
fitted. Always comply with the instructions  
on the passenger side sun visor (see the  
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -  
Airbag" paragraph).  
88) Should it be necessary to carry a  
child on the passenger side front seat in  
a rear facing child restraint system, the  
passenger side front air bag and side  
bag must be deactivated through the  
Uconnect™ system main menu (see the  
Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -  
Air bag" paragraph), verifying deactivation  
Children must be seated safely  
and comfortably. As far as the  
characteristics of the child seats used  
allow, you are advised to keep children  
in rear facing child seats for as long  
as possible (at least until 3–4 years  
old), since this is the most protected  
position in the event of a collision.  
The choice of the most suitable child  
restraint system depends on the weight  
and size of the child. There are various  
types of child restraint systems, which  
can be secured to the car by means of  
the seat belts or with the ISOFIX/i-Size  
anchorages.

86) 87) 88) 89)  
For optimal protection in the event  
of an impact, all occupants must be  
seated and wearing adequate restraint  
systems, including newborn and other  
children!  
This prescription is compulsory in all  
EC countries according to EC Directive  
2003/20/EC.  
It is recommended to always choose  
the restraint system most suitable for  
the child; for this reason always refer to  
the Owner Handbook provided with the  
child restraint system, to be sure that it  
is of the right type for the children it is  
intended for.  
Children below the height of 1.50  
metres and up to 12 years must be  
protected with suitable restraint  
systems and be seated on the rear  
seats.

on the  
dashboard is on. Move the passenger's  
seat as far back as possible to avoid  
contact between the child seat and the  
dashboard.  
89) Do not move the front or rear seat if  
a child is seated on it or on the dedicated  
child restraint system.  
Statistics on accidents indicate that  
the rear seats offer greater safety for  
children.

The ECE R44 standard supplements the ECE R-129 regulation, which defines the characteristics of i-Size child restraint  
systems (see the "Suitability of passenger seats for i-Size child restraint system use" paragraph for more information).  
All restraint devices must bear the type-approval data, together with the control mark, on a label solidly fixed to the child  
restraint system which must never be removed.

INSTALLING A CHILD  
RESTRAINT SYSTEM  
WITH SEAT BELTS  
The Universal child restraint systems  
installed with the seat belts only are  
type-approved on the basis of the  
ECE R44 or ECE R129 standards and  
are divided into various weight and/or  
height groups.

The child restraint system is secured  
by the car seat belts, as shown in and  
it must restrain the child in turn with its  
own belts.  
In this case, the child restraint system  
is used to position the child correctly  
with respect to the seat belts so that  
the diagonal belt section crosses the  
child’s chest and not the neck, and the  
lower part is snug on the pelvis not the  
abdomen.  
WARNING The figures are indicative  
and provided for assembly purposes  
only. Fit the child restraint system  
according to the instructions, which  
must be included.  
Group 1  
Children weighing from 9 to 18 kg may  
be transported in forward facing child  
restraint systems fig. 107.  
Group 0 and 0+  
Group 3  
Infants up to 13 kg must be carried  
with a rearward facing child restraint  
system of the type shown in fig. 106  
which, supporting the head, does not  
induce stress on the neck in the event  
of sudden decelerations.  
For children between 22 and 36 kg,  
there are dedicated restraint systems  
that allow the seat belt to be worn  
correctly.  
The fig. 109 shows the correct child  
positioning on the rear seat.

adjustment.  
93) Always make sure that the diagonal  
section of the seat belt does not pass  
under the arms or behind the back of the  
child. In the event of an accident the seat  
belt will not be able to secure the child,  
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.  
Therefore the child must always wear the  
seat belt correctly.  
fig. 114 shows an example of a  
Universal ISOFIX child restraint system  
for weight group 1.  
The other weight groups are covered  
by specific ISOFIX child restraint  
systems, which can be used only if  
specifically tested for this car (see list of  
cars provided with the child restraint  
system).

INSTALLING AN ISOFIX  
CHILD RESTRAINT  
SYSTEM  
Children over 1.50 m in height can  
wear seat belts like adults.  
WARNING The fig. 114 is indicative  
and for assembly purposes only. Fit the  
child restraint system according to the  
instructions, which must be included.  
94) 95) 96)  
The rear side seats of the car are  
equipped with ISOFIX anchors, for  
fitting child restraint systems quickly,  
simply and safely. The ISOFIX system  
lets you install the ISOFIX child restraint  
system without using the car seat belts  
but connecting them directly to the car  
seat with three anchorages in the car.  
Traditional child restraint systems  
can be fitted alongside ISOFIX child  
restraint systems on different seats in  
the same car.  
IMPORTANT  
90) Incorrect fitting of the child restraint  
system may result in an inefficient  
protection system. In the event of an  
accident the child restraint system may  
become loose and the child may be  
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint  
system for newborns or children, strictly  
comply with the instructions provided by  
the Manufacturer.  
NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child  
restraint system is used, only ECE  
R44 or ECE R129 "ISOFIX Universal”  
(R44/03 or further upgrades) type-  
approved child restraint systems can  
be used fig. 112. (R129 or further  
upgrades fig. 113)  
91) When the child restraint system is  
not used, secure it with the seat belt or  
with the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove  
it from the car. Do not leave it unsecured  
inside the passenger compartment. In this  
way, in the event of sudden braking or an  
accident, it will not cause injuries to the  
occupants.  
To install an ISOFIX child restraint  
system, attach it to the two metal  
anchors (1) fig. 110 located where the  
rear seat cushion meets the backrest,  
then fix the upper strap (available  
together with the restraint system) to  
the dedicated anchoring (2 ) fig. 111  
92) After installing a child restraint system,  
do not move the seat: always remove the  
102  
IMPORTANT  
94) Do not use the same lower anchoring  
to install more than one child restraint  
system.  
95) If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint  
system is not fixed to all three anchorages,  
it will not be able to protect the child  
correctly. In a crash, the child could be  
seriously or fatally injured.  
96) Fit the child restraint system when the  
car is stationary. The child restraint system  
is correctly fixed to the brackets when you  
hear the click. Follow the instructions for  
assembly, disassembly and positioning  
that the Manufacturer must supply with the  
child restraint system.

system's producer. Therefore, the  
Manufacturer advises customers to  
check that their chosen child restraint  
system can be installed on their vehicle  
by performing a trial installation, on the  
dealer's premises, before purchase.  
Always check that the seat belt is  
well fastened by pulling on it.  
Main recommendations to carry  
children safely  
Install the child restraint systems  
on the rear seat, which is the most  
protected position in the event of a  
collision.  
While travelling, do not let the child  
sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.  
Never allow a child to put the belt's  
diagonal section under an arm or  
behind their back.  
Keep children in rearward facing  
child restraint systems for as long as  
possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.  
The rear head restraint can be  
removed if needed to install a child  
restraint system. The head restraint  
must always be present in the car and  
fitted if the seat is used by an adult  
passenger or a child sitting in a child  
restraint system without backrest.  
If the passenger's front airbag  
is deactivated always check the  
dedicated warning light on the trim  
located on the dashboard to make sure  
that it has actually been deactivated.  
Carefully follow the instructions  
supplied with the child restraint system.  
Keep the instructions in the car along  
with the other documents and this  
handbook. Do not use second-hand  
child seats without instructions.  
Only one child is to be strapped  
into each restraint system; never carry  
two children using one child restraint  
system.  
Never carry children on your lap,  
even newborns. No-one can hold a  
child in the case of a collision.  
SUPPLEMENTARY  
RESTRAINT SYSTEM  
(SRS) - AIRBAG  
If the car has been involved in a road  
accident, replace the child restraint  
system with a new one. In addition,  
and depending on the type of child  
restraint system installed, replace the  
ISOFIX anchorages or the seat belt with  
which the child restraint system was  
connected.  
The car is equipped with:  
front driver airbag;  
front passenger airbag;  
driver and passenger front side  
bags for pelvis, chest and shoulder  
protection (Side bags);  
side bags for head protection of front  
seat passengers and rear side seat  
passengers (window bag).  
For any child restraint system  
mounted facing the direction of  
travel of the car on the external rear  
seats, independently of its weight  
group, mount it after removing the  
corresponding rear seat head restraint.  
This does not apply to child restraint  
systems that only consist of a cushion  
(without backrest): these child restraint  
systems must be installed when the  
relative headrest is fitted.  
The location of the airbags on the  
vehicle is marked by the word  
"AIRBAG" in the middle of the steering  
wheel, on the dashboard, on the side  
trim or on a label placed next to the  
airbag deployment area.  
FRONT AIRBAGS  
The front (driver and passenger)  
airbags protect the front seat  
occupants in the event of head-on  
crashes of medium-high severity, by  
placing the cushion between the

occupant and the steering wheel or  
dashboard.  
In these cases, non-deployment does  
not indicate a system malfunction.  
The driver's and passenger's front  
airbags have been designed and  
calibrated to protect front seat  
occupants wearing seat belts. At  
their maximum inflation, their volume  
fills most of the space between the  
steering wheel and the driver and  
between the dashboard and the  
passenger.  
Passenger's front airbag  
This consists of an instantly inflating  
bag contained in a special recess in  
the dashboard fig. 117: this bag has  
a larger volume than that on the driver  
side.  
Therefore non-activation of airbags in  
other types of collisions (side impacts,  
rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not  
indicate a system malfunction.  
Driver and passenger front airbags  
are not a replacement of but  
complementary to the seat belts, which  
should always be worn, as specified by  
law in Europe and most non-European  
countries.  
The airbags are not deployed in the  
event of minor frontal impacts (for  
which the restraining action of the seat  
belts is sufficient).  
In a crash, those not wearing a seat  
belt are projected forwards and may  
come into contact with the bag which  
is still inflating. The protection offered  
by the bag is compromised in these  
circumstances.  
Seat belts must always be worn. In the  
event of a frontal impact, they ensure  
the correct positioning of the occupant.

side collision of medium-high severity.  
They are marked by the "AIRBAG" label  
sewn on the outer side of the front  
seats.  
Pretensioners and airbags are  
deployed in different ways on the  
basis of the type of collision. Failure  
to activate one or more of the

child restraint systems on the front seat.  
Deployment of the airbag in a crash could  
cause fatal injuries to the child regardless  
of the severity of the collision. Therefore,  
always deactivate the passenger side  
airbag when a rearward facing child  
restraint system is installed on the front  
passenger seat. The front passenger seat  
must also be positioned back as far as  
possible in order to prevent the child  
restraint system from coming into contact  
with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate  
the passenger airbag as soon as the child  
restraint system has been removed.

the front seat backrests with extra covers.  
107) Do not travel with objects in your lap,  
in front of your chest or held in your mouth  
(e.g., pipe, pencil etc.). They could cause  
severe injury if the airbag is deployed in a

subjected to vandalism or floods, have  
the airbag system checked by a Fiat  
Dealership.  
109) If the ignition device is at MAR, even if  
the engine is switched off, airbags may be  
deployed when the car is stationary and  
hit by another car. Therefore, even if the  
vehicle is stationary, when an active front  
passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install  
rearward facing child restraint systems  
on the front passenger seat. Deployment  
of the airbag following an impact could  
cause fatal injuries to the child. Therefore,  
always deactivate the passenger side  
airbag when a rearward facing child  
restraint system is installed on the front  
passenger seat. The front passenger seat  
must also be positioned back as far as  
possible in order to prevent the child  
restraint system from coming into contact  
with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate  
the passenger airbag as soon as the child  
restraint system has been removed. Also  
111) The front airbag deployment  
threshold is higher than that of the  
pretensioners. For collisions in the range  
between the two thresholds, it is normal  
for only the pretensioners to be activated.  
112) The airbag does not replace seat  
belts but increases their efficiency.  
Because front airbags are not deployed  
for low-speed crashes, side collisions,  
rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants  
are protected, in addition to any side  
bags, only by their seat belts, which must  
therefore always be fastened.

garment hooks or support handles.  
102) Do not rest your head, arms or  
elbows on the door, on the windows or  
in the window bag area to prevent injury  
during deployment.  
103) Never lean your head, arms or  
elbows out of the window.

Event Data Recorder  
(EDR)  
This vehicle is equipped with an Event  
Data Recorder (EDR). The main  
function of an EDR is to record,  
in particular crash or near-crash  
situations, such as the deployment of  
an airbag or impact against a road  
obstacle, data useful for understanding  
the performance of vehicle systems.  
to MAR, the  
warning light does not  
switch on or stays on whilst driving, a  
failure may have occurred in the restraint  
systems. In this case the airbags or  
pretensioners may not be deployed in an  
impact or, in a lower number of cases,

The EDR is designed to record data  
related to the dynamics and safety  
systems of the vehicle for a short time.  
The EDR of this vehicle is designed to  
record the following types of data at  
the time of the event:  
age and location of the accident).  
To read data recorded by an  
EDR, a "Crash Data Retrieval  
(CDR)" device made by Bosch is  
required and access to the vehicle  
or the EDR. If the contents of  
the EDR cannot be reproduced  
using the OBD connection port of  
the vehicle, the Bosch CDR tool  
can be connected directly to the  
control unit of the ORC occupant  
protection systems (ORC).  
the operating modes of various  
systems in the vehicle;  
whether or not the driver and  
passenger safety belts were buckled;  
the amount of pressure applied (if  
any) by the driver on the accelerator  
and/or brake pedal; and  
In addition to the vehicle manufacturer,  
the information can be read by other  
parties, such as the police, who are  
equipped with the required special  
equipment and have access to the  
vehicle or the EDR.  
the speed at which the vehicle is  
travelling.  
This information provides a more  
complete picture of the circumstances  
in which collisions and injuries occur.  
If all available EDR positions are  
occupied by locked events (i.e. cannot  
be overwritten by subsequent events),  
the airbag warning light comes on in  
the instrument panel. Other conditions  
may cause the airbag warning light to  
come on. For more information, see  
“Supplementary Restraint System  
(SRS) - Airbag” in this section.  
NOTE: Data from the EDR is  
only recorded by the vehicle if a  
non-negligible collision situation  
occurs; under normal driving  
conditions, the EDR does not  
record any data or personal  
information (e.g. name, gender,
