Do not place a cradle seat facing
backwards on the front seat if the
passenger side airbag is on. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the baby regardless of the severity of the
collision. It is advisable to always carry children
in dedicated child seats on the rear seat, which
is the most protected position in the event of an
accident.
WARNING
WARNING Should it be absolutely
necessary to carry a child on the front
seat in a backwards-facing child seat, the
passenger’s front and side airbags should
be deactivated through the setup menu.
Deactivation can be verified by checking the “
warning light on the instrument panel. Move the
passenger’s seat as far back as possible to avoid
contact between the child seat and the dashboard.
WARNING
The figures are only examples for fitting
purposes. Fit the child seat according to
the instructions mandatorily supplied with the
seat.
WARNING
There are seats with Isofix attachments
which enable secure fastening to the
seat without using the vehicle’s seat belts.

Below is a summary of the rules of safety to be
followed for carrying children:
1) The recommended position for installing child seats
is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected area in
the event of a crash.
2) When disengaging the passenger airbag, always check
that the amber warning light on the instrument panel is
permanently on to make sure that the airbag has actually
been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system which are mandatory by law.
Keep the instructions in the car along with the other
documents and this handbook. Do not use second-hand
child seats without instructions.
4) Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
5) Only one child is to be strapped into each retaining
system; never carry two children using one child seat.
6) Always check that the seat belts do not restrain the
child’s throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly
or release the belts.
8) Never carry children on your lap, even newborns.
No-one, however strong, can hold a child in the case of
an accident.
9) In the event of an accident, replace the child seat
with a new one.
Do not place a child seat facing
backwards on the front seat if the
passenger side airbag is enabled. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the baby regardless of the severity of
the collision. It is advisable to carry children in
an appropriate restraint system on the rear seat
which is the most protected position in the
event of an accident.

“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX” CHILD
RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY SETUP
The car can be fitted with a Universal Isofix child
restraint, a new European standardised system for
carrying children safely.
An example of a child seat is shown in fig. 116.
The Universal Isofix child seat covers weight group 1.
Due to its different attachment system, the Universal
Isofix child seat must be anchored to the special lower
metal rings A-fig. 117, located between the backrest and
rear cushion. The upper belt (provided with the child
seat) must then be secured to ring B-fig. 118 located on
the back of the backrest at child seat level.
It is possible to have a mixed assembly of traditional
child seats and Universal Isofix seats.
F0U116Abfig. 116
Remember that in the case of Universal Isofix child’s
seat, you can use all seats approved with the marking
ECE R44/03 “Universal Isofix”.

WARNING: Do not put child seats
facing backwards on the front seat if the
passenger’s airbag is enabled (ON).
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby.
Should it be absolutely necessary to place a
child seat on the front seat, always deactivate
the passenger airbag. Move the passenger’s seat
as far back as possible to avoid contact
between the child seat and the dashboard.
Although this is not mandatory by law, the
airbag should be immediately reactivated when
children are no longer carried to ensure better
protection for adults.

CONTENTS
If the key is turned to MAR, even if the
engine is switched off, airbags may be
deployed when the car is stationary and hit by
another vehicle. For this reason, children must
never sit on the front seat, even if the car is not
moving. We remind you that if the key is turned
to the STOP position, no safety device (airbag
or pretensioner) activates following a collision.
Non-deployment in such cases should not be
considered as the sign of a malfunction.
WARNING
If the car has been stolen or has been
the subject of an attempted theft, if it
has been vandalised or flooded, have the airbag
system checked at an Abarth Dealership.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to MAR,
the warning light “turns on (with front
airbag on passenger’s side enabled) and blinks
for a few seconds to remind you that the
passenger airbag will activate in the event of a
collision. Then it turns off.
WARNING
Do not pressure wash the seats with
steam or water (either by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
WARNING
The front airbags deploy in the event of
more severe collisions than those
required for deploying the pretensioners. For
collisions in the range between the two
activation thresholds, pretensioner activation
alone is normal.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to clothes
hangers and support handles.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace seat belts; it
increases their effectiveness.
Furthermore, since front airbags are not
deployed in low speed collisions, side-on
collisions, rear-end shunts or roll-overs, the
passengers are protected only by the seat belts
which must therefore be fastened at all times.

SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution
of water and neutral detergent.
The fabric upholstery of your car is
designed to withstand normal wear and
tear for a long time. Some precautions
are however needed. Avoid prolonged rubbing
against clothing accessories, such as metal
buckles, Velcro strips and the like, which by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a small
area could cause the breakage of some threads
and damage the upholstery.
LEATHER SEATS
(for versions/markets where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a buckskin or slightly damp
cloth, without exercising too much pressure.
Remove any liquid or grease stains using an absorbent
dry cloth, without rubbing. Then clean with a soft cloth
or buckskin cloth dampened with water and neutral
soap.
If the stain persists, use specific products and observe
the instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make sure that the
cleaning products used contain no alcohol or alcohol
derivatives, even in small quantities.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEALING WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE
FGA has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its
production processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly compatible with the ecosystem. To assure
customers of the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European
Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, FGA is offering their customers the opportunity of
handing over their vehicle* at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur
any expenses as a result of its market value. In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1st January
2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be collected free of charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free
of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular,
the engine and bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact an FGA Dealership or authorised
collection and scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service for the
collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from an Abarth Dealership or by
calling the freephone number 00800 22278400 or on the Fiat website.
