GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

Driving in special conditions
In certain driving conditions, such as,
for example:
❒driving close to a bend (see fig. 52);
❒vehicles with small dimensions
and/or not aligned in the driving lane
(see fig. 53);
❒lane change by other vehicles (see
fig. 54);
system intervention can be unexpected
or delayed. The driver must therefore
be very careful, keeping control of
the vehicle to drive in complete safety.
IMPORTANT If you are driving on roads
close to trees with protruding branches
it is advisable to deactivate the system
to prevent the branches at the height
of the bonnet or the windscreen from
interfering with the system.iTPMS (indirect Tyre
Pressure Monitoring
System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
75) 76) 77) 78) 79) 80)
The vehicle can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tire Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by the dedicated
warning light continuously on and a
dedicated warning message on the
display.
If one tyre only is flat, the system can
indicate its position: it is in any case
recommended to check the pressure
on all four tyres.
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.
Reset procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driving on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the Reset
procedure is carried out.
The Reset procedure must be carried
out:
❒each time tyre pressure is modified;
❒when even only one tyre is changed;
❒when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the Reset
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).

SAFETY

IMPORTANT When putting the back
seat to its normal position, make sure
the seat belts are positioned so they are
ready to use.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
BELT HEIGHT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
85) 86)
Four different adjustments in height are
provided. To adjust, press button A
fig. 58 and raise or lower handle B.
Always adjust the height of the seat belt
to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the case of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
For some versions, front seat belts have
just one fixed anchor point located on
the door pillar.
WARNING
81)Never press button C fig. 55 when
travelling.
82)Remember that in the event of an
accident, the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
83)The rear central seat belt (for
versions/markets, where provided) is
provided with a service buckle. Do not use
the seat belt with the service buckle not
fastened. In this case there is a high risk of
injury or death in the event of an accident.
Before using the belt, always make sure
that the service buckle is correctly
fastened.
84)The rear left and right side belts are
provided with an adjustment device for the
metal tongue position (metal hook). Adjust
the tongue position with respect to the seat
belt to improve comfort and reduce noise
inside the passenger compartment.
85)Stop the vehicle to adjust the seat belt
height.
86)After height adjustment, make sure that
the cursor to which the ring is secured is
blocked in one of the preset positions.
To do this, with button A fig. 58 released,
exert further pressure downwards to allow
the locking device to click if the grip has
not been released in one of the possible
positions.
SBR (Seat Belt
Reminder) SYSTEM
The SBR system warns the passengers
of the front and rear (for versions/
markets, where provided) seats if their
seat belt is not fastened.
The system signals unfastened seat
belts with visual warnings (warning
lights on in the instrument panel and
icons on the display) and an acoustic
signal (see the following paragraphs).
Contact a Fiat Dealership to deactivate
this acoustic warning permanently.
The acoustic warning can be
reactivated at any time through the
display Setup Menu.

SAFETY

CHILD PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
CARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY
91) 92) 93) 94)For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint
systems, including newborn and other
children! This prescription is
compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of 1.50
metres and up to 12 years must be
protected with suitable restraint
systems and be seated on the rear
seats.
Statistics on accidents indicate that the
rear seats offer greater safety for
children.
Compared with an adult, a child's head
is larger and heavier in proportion to
their body and the child's 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 the event
of an accident, braking or sudden
manoeuvre.Children must be seated safely and
comfortably. Depending on the
characteristics of the child restraint
systems used, you are advised to keep
children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as
possible (at least until 3–4 years old),
since this is the most protected position
in the event of an impact.
The choice of the most suitable child
restraint system depends on the weight
and size of the child. There are various
types of child restraint systems, which
can be secured to the vehicle by means
of the seat belts or with the ISOFIX
anchorages.
It is recommended to always choose
the restraint system most suitable
for the child; for this reason always refer
to the Owner Handbook provided with
the child restraint system, to be sure
that it is of the right type for the children
it is intended for.
In Europe the characteristics of child
restraint systems are ruled by the
regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group Weight range
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
certification data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori MOPAR
®includes child
restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are
recommended having been specifically
designed for Fiat vehicles.
FITTING A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
WITH SEAT BELTS
95) 96) 97)The Universal child restraint systems
installed with the seat belts only are
type-approved on the basis of the ECE
R44 standard and are divided into
various weight groups.
IMPORTANT The figures are indicative
and provided for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which
must be included.
76
SAFETY

IMPORTANT Following an accident of a
certain importance, it is recommended
to replace both the child restraint
system and the seat belt to which it
was bound.
Group 0 and 0+
Infants up to 13 kg must be carried with
a rearward facing child restraint system
of the type shown in fig. 63 which,
supporting the head, does not induce
stress on the neck in the event of
sudden decelerations.
The child restraint system is restrained
by the vehicle seat belts, as shown
in fig. 63 and it must restrain the child in
turn with its own belts.
Group 1
Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may
be carried in forward facing position
fig. 64Group 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the
vehicle seat belts directly fig. 65.
In this case, the child restraint system is
used to position the child correctly
with respect to the seat belts so that
the diagonal belt section crosses the
child’s chest and not the neck, and the
lower part is snug on the pelvis not
the abdomen.Group 3
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg,
there are boosters which allow the
seat belt to be worn correctly.
The fig. 66 shows the correct child
positioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear
seat belts like adults.
