PASSENGER AIRBAG
DEACTIVATED
(amber)
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
The
F
warning light switches on
when the front passenger side airbag
is deactivated.
With the front passenger airbag
enabled, when the ignition key is
turned to MAR, the
F
warning light
switches on constantly for about 4
seconds, flashes for another 4
seconds and then should switch off.
F
Failure of the
F
warning light is
indicated by the
¬
warning
light switching on.
In addition, the airbag system
automatically disables the
airbags on the passenger’s
side. Before proceeding,
contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the
system checked.
WARNING
AIRBAG FAILURE
(red)
(for versions/markets,
where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR, the
warning light switches on but should
switch off after a few seconds. The
warning light switches on constantly
if there is a fault in the airbag system.
On some versions, the display shows
a dedicated message.
¬
If the
¬
warning light
does not switch on when
the key is turned to MAR or
stays on when driving, there may
be a fault with the restraint
systems. In this case, the airbags
or the pretensioners may not be
activated in the case of an
accident or (in a lesser number
of cases) they may be activated
incorrectly. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.
WARNING
The failure of the
¬
warning light is
indicated by the flashing, for
more than the normal 4
seconds, of the front passenger
airbag deactivated warning
light
F
. In addition, the
airbag system automatically
disables the airbags on the
passenger’s side (front airbag
and side bags for
versions/markets, where
provided). In this case, the
¬
warning light may not indicate
faults in the restraint systems.
Before proceeding, contact a
Fiat Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
