WARNING
WARNINGAfter adjustment, always check that the slider is anchored in one of the positions
provided. To do this, with the button released, exert a further pressure to allow the
anchor device to catch if release did not take place at one of the preset positions. Make the height adjustment when the car is stationary.

All restraint devices must bear the certification data,
together with the control brand, on a solidly fixed
label which must absolutely never be removed.Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults
and wear the seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for each weight group,
which are the recommended choice, as they have been
designed and experimented specifically for Fiat cars.

WARNINGWith passenger’s air bag active, never place child’s seats with the cradle facing
backwards since the air bag activation could cause to the child serious injuries,
even mortal, regardless of the seriousness of the crash that triggered it. You are
advised to carry children always with proper restraint systems on the rear seats, as
this is the most protected position in the case of a crash.
WARNINGSERIOUS DANGER Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a baby on the front
passenger seat with a child's seat with the cradle facing backwards, deactivate the
passenger's air bags (front and side on the seat, where provided) using the key
switch (where provided) and then check warning light Fon the cluster to make
sure that deactivation has actually took place (see paragraph “ Manual
deactivation of passenger's air bag (front and side bags)”).
The front passenger's seat shall be adjusted in the most backward position to
prevent any contact between child's seat and dashboard.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check that it has not
fused before changing the bulb. For the location of
the fuses, refer to “If a fuse blows” in this chapter;❒Before replacing a bulb that does not work, check
that the contacts are not oxidised;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and power;
❒Always check the height of the headlight beam after
changing a bulb.
Only touch the metal part when handling halogen bulbs. If the transparent bulb is touched it
reduces the intesity of the light emitted and can also reduce the life of the bulb. If you touch the
bulb accidentally, rub it with a cloth moistened with alcohol and leave it to dry.
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to the electrical system carried out incorrectly and
without bearing the features of the system in mind can cause malfunctions with
the risk of fire.WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas which, if broken, may cause small fragments
of glass to be projected outwards.
