FRONT AIRBAGS
FRONT DRIVER AND
PASSENGER AIRBAGS
103) 104)
These are installed in correspondence
to the driver's and front passenger's
seats. The "airbag" mark on the
steering wheel and dashboard (airbag
area A fig. 181 ) are reminders of this
device's presence.
Each air bag system consists of:
an inflatable cushion and relative gas
generator installed in the steering wheel
for the driver and in the dashboard for
the passenger;
an electronic module control system
device that controls the gas generator
electric trigger device;
a single monitoring warning light
on the instrument panel.
Operation
The system is operational only after
turning on the starter switch.
In the event of a
frontal impact, the air
bags inflate, allowing limited impact at
the driver's head and chest level
against the steering wheel and for the
passenger against the dashboard; they
deflate immediately after collision so as
not to impede exiting the vehicle
fig. 182.
Irregular operation
The warning light 4 fig. 183 goes on
when the starter device is inserted, and
they go off after a few seconds. If the
light does not go on when the starter
device is inserted or if it goes on when
the engine is on, it indicates a system
malfunction. Contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible. Any delay in
deployment can compromise efficiency.
All warnings below are aimed a not
impeding air bag inflation and
avoiding serious injury owing to
flying objects when they open up.
