FITTING AN ISOFIX
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
98) 99) 100) 101)The vehicle is equipped with ISOFIX
anchorages, a new standard which
makes fitting a child restraint system
quick, simple and safe.
The ISOFIX system allows the ISOFIX
child restraint systems to be fitted,
without using the vehicle's seat belt,
but directly securing the child restraint
system to three anchorages present on
the vehicle. Traditional child restraint
systems can be fitted alongside ISOFIX
child restraint systems on different
seats in the same vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach it to the two metal
anchorages A fig. 67 located where the
rear seat cushion meets the backrest,
then fix the upper strap (available
together with the restraint system) to
the dedicated anchorage B fig. 68
located at the bottom behind the
backrest.
For versions with sliding split rear seat,
use the suitable catches shown in
fig. 69 on the tube at the base of the
backrest.
fig. 70 shows an example of a Universal
ISOFIX child restraint system for weight
group 1.IMPORTANT The fig. 70 is indicative
and for assembly purposes only. Fit the
child restraint system according to
the instructions, which must be
included.
IMPORTANT Following an accident of a
certain importance, it is recommended
to replace both the child restraint
system and the Isofix anchoring
devices.

Main recommendations to carry
children safely
❒Install the child restraint systems on
the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an
impact.
❒Keep children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as
possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.
❒Should a rearward facing child
restraint system be installed on the rear
seats, it is advisable to position it as
far forward as the position of the front
seat allows.
❒If the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated, always check that the
warning light is on constantly in the
central dashboard, to make sure that it
has actually been deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint system.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle
along with the other documents and
this handbook. Do not use second-
hand child restraint systems without
instructions.
❒Only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry
two children using one child restraint
system.
❒Always check that the seat belts do
not rest on the child’s neck.❒Always check that the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling on it.
❒While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
❒Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or
behind their back.
❒Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No one can hold
a child in the case of an accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace
the child restraint system with a new
one.
WARNING
91)SEVERE DANGER When a front
passenger airbag is fitted, do not install
rear facing child restraint systems on the
front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an
impact.
92)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if
a rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger's side sun visor (see
the "Supplementary Restraint System
(SRS) - Airbag" paragraph).93)Should it be necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front seat in a rear
facing child restraint system, the passenger
side front airbag and side bag must be
deactivated through the display main
menu, verifying deactivation by checking
that the
warning light has switched
on in the central part of the dashboard.
Move the passenger's seat as far back as
possible to avoid contact between the child
restraint system and the dashboard.
94)Do not adjust the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
95)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided
by the Manufacturer.
96)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. In this
way, in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
97)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove
the child restraint system before making
any adjustment.
84
SAFETY
Page 87 of 204
98)Always make sure that the chest
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear
the seat belt correctly.
99)Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child restraint
system.
100)If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint
system is not fixed to all three anchorages,
it will not be able to protect the child
correctly. In a crash, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.
101)Fit the child restraint system only
when the vehicle is stationary. The child
restraint system is correctly fixed to the
brackets when you hear the click. Follow
the instructions for assembly, disassembly
and positioning that the Manufacturer
must supply with the child restraint system.SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) - AIRBAG
The vehicle is equipped with:
❒front driver airbag;
❒front passenger airbag;
❒front side bags for pelvis, chest and
shoulder protection of driver and
passenger (for versions/markets, where
provided);
❒side bags for head protection of front
seat passengers and rear side seat
passengers (window bag).
FRONT AIRBAGS
102)The front (driver and passenger) airbags
protect the front seat occupants in the
event of head-on crashes of medium-
high severity, by placing the cushion
between the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-activation of airbags in
other types of collisions (side impacts,
rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not
indicate a system malfunction.
Driver and passenger front airbags are
not a replacement of but
complementary to the seat belts, which
should always be worn, as specified
by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.In the event of an impact, those not
wearing a seat belt are projected
forwards, and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating.
The protection offered by the bag is
compromised in these circumstances.
The front airbags may not activate in
the case of a frontal impact against
highly deformable objects not involving
the front surface of the vehicle (e.g.
wing collision against guard rail) or in
the case of the vehicle wedging under
other vehicles or protective barriers
(e.g. under trucks or guard rails).
Failure to activate in the conditions
described above is due to the fact that
they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would be inappropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does
not indicate a system malfunction.

104)Rearward facing child restraint systems
mustNEVERbe fitted on the front
seat with an active passenger side
airbag since in the event of an impact
the airbag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
ALWAYScomply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger
side sun visor fig. 73.Deactivating the passenger side
airbags: front airbag and side bag
If a child must be carried on the front
seat in a rearward facing child restraint
system, deactivate the passenger
front airbag and the side bags. With
airbags deactivated, the
(A-fig. 74)
warning light turns on in the dashboard,
in central position. Use the display
Setup Menu to deactivate.

SIDE BAGS (Side bag -
Window bag)
To help increase occupants protection
in the event of a side impact, the
vehicle is equipped with front side bags
(for versions/markets, where provided)
and window bag (for versions/markets,
where provided).
Side bags protect occupants from
side-on crashes of medium/high
severity by placing the bag between the
occupant and the internal parts of the
side structure of the vehicle.
Non-activation of side bags in other
types of collisions (front collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not
indicate a system malfunction.
Side bags
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These comprise two types of bags
located in the front seat backrests fig.
76 which protect the pelvis, chest
and shoulder area of the occupants in
the event of a side impact of
medium/high severity.
Window bag
This consists of two "curtain" bags
housed behind the side upholstery of
the roof fig. 77 and covered with
finishing elements, which protect the
heads of front and rear occupants
in the event of a side impact.The deployment of side bags in the
event of side impacts of low severity is
not required.
In the event of a side impact, the
system provides best protection if the
passenger sits on the seat in a correct
position, thus allowing correct window
bag deployment.
The window bag is not available for the
VAN version.

Important
Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
The front and/or side airbags
may activate in the event of sharp
impacts to the underbody of the vehicle
(e.g. impact with steps, pavements,
potholes or road bumps etc.).
When the airbag deploys it emits a
small amount of dust: the dust is
harmless and does not indicate the
beginning of a fire. The dust may irritate
the skin and eyes however: in this
case, wash with neutral soap
and water.
Airbag checking, repair and
replacement must be carried out at a
Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is scrapped, have the
airbag system deactivated at a Fiat
Dealership.
