82)
Have the airbag system checked by a
Fiat Dealership if the car was stolen, if theft
was attempted, or if the car was subjected
to vandalism or flooding.
83)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR,
the warning light (with front passenger
side airbag activated) on the central
dashboard switches on and flashes for a
few seconds as a reminder that the
passenger airbag will be deployed in the
event of a crash, then it should switch off.
84)
The 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.
85)
The airbag does not replace seat belts
but increases their efficiency. Furthermore,
since front airbags are not deployed in
low-speed frontal impacts, side impacts,
rear shunts or roll-overs, the passengers
are protected only by the seat belts which
must therefore be fastened at all times.
