SECURING YOUR LOAD
The luggage compartment contains two attachments
for the cables that secure the load transported and
another two attachments are located on the rear
crossmember.
WARNING
Every attachment has a maximum load
capacity of 100 kg.
WARNING
A heavy load that has not been secured
may cause serious injuries in the event
of an accident .
WARNING
If you are travelling in an area with
limited opportunities for vehicle
refuelling and you wish to bring petrol with you
in a petrol can, you must do so in compliance
with current regulations and using an approved
can, appropriately secured to the load securing
attachments.However, bydoing so, you increase
the risk of fire in case of an accident with
your vehicle.
CARGO BOX

For correct operation, sensors must always
be clean from mud, dirt , snow or ice. Be
careful not to scratch or damage the
sensors while cleaning them. Avoid using dr y,
rough or hard cloths.The sensors should be
washed using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary.When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure jets or
steam cleaning, clean the sensors very quickly
keeping the jet more than 10 cm away.
GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care over
obstacles that may be above or under the sensors.
❒Objects close to the car, are not detected under
certain circumstances and could therefore cause
damage to the car or be damaged.
Some of the conditions that could affect the
performance of the parking system are described
below:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the
parking assistance system performance could be
due to the presence on the surface of the sensor
of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint
❒The sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical
interference, for example when washing the
vehicle, in rain, (strong wind), hail.❒The signals sent by the sensors can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g.
pneumatic brake systems or pneumatic drills) near
the vehicle.
❒Parking assistance system performance can also be
influenced by the position of the sensors, for
example due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock absorbers,
suspension), or by changing tyres, overloading the
car or carrying out specific tuning operations
that require the car to be lowered.
❒The presence of a tow hook without trailer
interferes with the correct operation of the
parking sensors. If a fixed tow hook is installed, the
sensors cannot be used. If the customer installs a
removable tow hook, this must always be
disconnected from the crossmember whenever
the trailer is not attached to prevent the activation
of the sensors.
WARNING
The responsibility for parking and other
dangerous manoeuvres always and in
every case lies with the driver.When making
these manoeuvres, always make sure that no
people (especially children) or animals are
present in your manoeuvering space.The parking
sensors serve to assist the driver, but must never
allow his attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those executed at
low speeds.

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELYAll vehicle's occupants must be protected, babies and
children included! For optimal protection in the
event of a collision, all passengers must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint systems.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
This is even more important for children since their
head is larger and heavier than an adult's in
proportion to their body, while their 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 case of accident,
braking or sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be suitably restrained inside the
vehicle according to their body: weight and height.
Several children restraint system types are available;
always choose the one most suitable for the child.
In Europe the characteristics of children restraint
systems are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing
them into five weight groups:Group Weight groups
Group0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child seat which must 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 child restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are recommended having been
specifically designed for Fiat cars.
WARNING
When an active passenger air bag is
fitted, DO NOT install backwards-facing
child seats on the front seat . Deployment of the
air bag in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the baby regardless of the severity of the
collision. It is advisable to always carr y children
in a child seat on the rear seat , which is the
most protected position in the event of a
collision.

Isofix systems can be fitted alongside a traditional
child seat. An example of Universal Isofix child seat
covering weight group 1 is shown in fig. 100. Specific
Isofix child seats cover the other weight groups.
These seats must be designed, tested and
type-approved specifically for this car (see the list of
cars attached to the child seat).
IMPORTANT The rear central seat (for versions
where provided) and the passenger front seat are not
approved for any type of Isofix child seat.
INSTALLING A UNIVERSAL ISOFIX CHILD
SEAT

fig. 101 positioned between rear backrest and
cushion, then fix the upper belt (provided with the
child seat) to the attachments B fig. 10 located
in the rear part of the backrest, for versions with
split rear seat.
For versions with sliding split rear seat, use the
suitable catches shown in fig. 103 on the tube at the
base of the backrest."Universal Isofix” child seats can be fitted alongside
traditional child seats. Remember that when using

WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power assisted steering is not available,
greater force needs to be exerted on the brake
pedal and more effort is required on the
steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables when
towing and avoid jerky movements. During
towing, make sure that the trailer hitch does not
damage any components it is touching.When
towing the car, it is compulsor y to respect
specific highway code regulations relating to
the tow hook and procedures for towing on the
road. Do not star t the engine while towing
the car.
WARNING
The front and rear tow hooks should be
used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the car for short
distances using an appropriate device
in accordance with the highway code (a rigid
bar), to move the vehicle on the road in
readiness for towing or transporting via a
breakdown vehicle.Tow hooks MUST NOT be
used to tow vehicles off the road or where there
are obstacles and/or for towing operations
using cables or other non-rigid devices.
Respecting the above conditions, towing must
take place with the two vehicles (one towing,
the other towed) aligned as much as possible
along the same centre line.
WARNING
Do not use tow hooks for securing the
vehicle on ships.
