deactivated (refer to the “Passenger side
airbag and child restraint systems – how to
deactivate the airbags” paragraph in the
“Safety” chapter). Risk of serious injury in
case the air bag opens up because of
objects placed on the folded backrest
flying around. The label (on the dashboard)
and the silkscreen and printed markings
(on the windscreen) remind you of these
instructions.

on the driver's side floorboard: in case of
sharp braking, they could slide under the
pedals, hampering their use.
22)When moving a single rear seat, make
sure the relative anchorages are clean
(there must not be any stones, bits of cloth
or other items that could prevent the seat
from locking into place).

The safety devices complementary to
the front passenger seat belt have to be
activated.
Functioning defects
If the activation/deactivation system for
the front passenger air bags is not
functioning, you cannot install the child
restraint on the front seat with the head
facing rear. We advise you also not totravel with passengers seated there.
Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
WARNING
100)The air bag system uses a
pyrotechnical principle, meaning that its
activation produces heat, emits smoke
(that does not mean fire) and generates an
explosive sound. Air bag deployment,
which should be immediate, can cause
skin injuries or other problems.
101)Do not attach any object (pins, logos,
watches, phone support, etc.) to the
steering wheel.
102)The steering wheel must not be
covered in any way.
103)Dismantling the steering wheel is
prohibited (except by a qualified Fiat
Dealership technician).
104)Do not drive to close to the steering
wheel: adopt a driving position with your
arms slightly bent. This position will ensure
a sufficient distance for the air bag to
deploy efficiently.
105)Do not glue anything (pins, logos,
watches, phone supports, etc.) to the
dashboard near the airbag.
106)Do not place anything (animals,
umbrella, cane, boxes, etc.) between the
dashboard and the passenger.
107)Do not rest your feet on the
dashboard or the seat: these positions
could cause serious injuries. In general,
keep all parts of the body (knees, hands,
head, etc.) away from the dashboard.108)The passenger air bag only protects
the side front seat passenger; the centre
front seat passenger is only protected by
the seat belt. We recommend you respect
normal safety regulations (fasten your seat
belt). There may be serious injuries in the
event of an accident.
109)The passenger airbag must be
activated/deactivated when the vehicle is
stationary. If deactivated while driving, the
andwarning lights turn on. To turn
these lights off, you need to deactivate
then reactivate the passenger air bag again
when the vehicle is stopped.
110)When the child restraint is no longer in
use, reactivate the front seat belt
complementary safety devices to ensure
front passenger protection in case of an
accident. Installing a rear-facing child
restraint system on the front passenger is
prohibited until the front seat belt
complementary safety devices have been
deactivated (refer to the "Passenger side
airbag and child restraint systems – how to
deactivate the airbags" paragraph in the
"Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
111)Because of the incompatibility of the
front passenger air bag deployment and
the positioning of a child seat facing
forward, NEVER INSTALL a child restraint
system facing backwards on a seat
equipped with FRONT AIRBAG
ACTIVATION. It could result in a CHILD'S
DEATH or could SERIOUSLY INJURE
him/her.

(2)Move the front seat as far forward as possible to install the child seat backwards from driving direction, then move it back to
maximum so it does not come into contact with the child seat.
(3)Child seat facing forward: position the child seat backrest in contact with the seat backrest. In any case, remove the rear
seat headrest that the child seat is positioned against. This should be done before positioning the child restraint system (refer to
the "Rear headrest" paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle” chapter). Do not move the seat in front of the child back more
than half the distance and do not incline it more than 25°.
WARNING
120)To prevent opening the door from the
inside, use the safety device (refer to the
"Child safety” paragraph in the “Knowing
your vehicle” chapter).
121)A collision at 50 Km/h is the
equivalent of falling 10 meters. Never hold
a child in your arms or on your knees, in
case of an accident you would never be
able to hold him even if you have your seat
bets fastened.
122)Never leave the vehicle unguarded
with the electronic key and a child, a
handicapped person or an animal inside,
even for a short time. This could result in
your own safety or that of others who
could start the engine, setting in motion
equipment such as the electric windows or
even locking the doors. Moreover, in hot
and/or sunny weather, the vehicle's interior
temperature will increase rapidly. Risk of
death or serious injury.123)Never leave a child alone in the
vehicle. Make sure the child always has
his/her seat belt fastened and correctly
adjusted. Avoid too heavy clothing that
causes the belts to be loose. Never allow
the child to put his/her head or arm out the
window. Make sure the child is seated
correctly throughout the trip. especially
when asleep.
124)Make sure the child seat or his/her
feet do not prevent the front seat from
locking into place correctly. Refer to the
"Front seat" paragraph in the "Knowing
your vehicle” chapter. Make sure that the
child seat installed in the vehicle is not at
risk of coming out of its housing. If you
have to remove the head rest, make sure it
is positioned so it is not thrown about in
case of abrupt braking or collision. Always
fasten the child seat even if you are not
using it so it is not thrown about in case of
abrupt braking or collision.
125)RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY: before installing a rear-facing child
restraint system in the front passenger
seat, check that the air bag has been
correctly deactivated (refer to the
"Passenger side airbag and child restraint
systems" paragraph in this chapter).
126)Install the child seat preferably in one
of the rear seats.127)Never install a child seat on the rear
centre seat. RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
128)Do not use child seats that could
unlock the belt holding it in place: the child
seat base must not rest on the seat belt
buckle and/or housing.
129)The seat belt must never be loose or
twisted. Never pass the shoulder belt
under your arm or behind your back.
Check that the belt has not been damaged
by sharp edges. If the seat belt is not
working normally, it will not protect the
child. Contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not
use this seat until the belt has been
repaired.
130)Using a child seat inappropriate for
this vehicle will not properly protect the
child. You risk causing him/her serious
injury or death.
