Anti-crush safety device
The car is equipped with an anti-crush
function for the raising of the front and
rear windows.
This safety system detects the presence
of an obstacle during the window closing
travel and cuts in by stopping and
reversing the window travel, depending
on its position. This device is also useful if
the windows are activated accidentally
by children on board the vehicle.
The anti-pinch function is active both
during manual and automatic operation
of the electric windows. When the
anti-crush system is activated, the
window travel is immediately interrupted
and then reversed. The window cannot be
operated in any way during this time.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush protection
intervenes 5 consecutive times within
1 minute or is faulty, the automatic
closing operation of the window is
inhibited, only allowing it in steps of half a
second; the button is released for the
subsequent manoeuvre.

SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue
1 fig. 41 and insert it into the buckle 3,
until it clicks into place.

rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
2 and guide the seat belt with your hand
while it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
53)
The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel
mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled
sharply or in the event of sudden braking,
collisions and high-speed bends.The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
Wear the rear seat belts as illustrated in
fig. 42.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT The backrest
is correctly secured when the red band 1
fig. 43 on the backrest folding handles
2 disappears. This red band indicates
that the backrest is not secured.IMPORTANT When putting the rear seats
back to their normal position, make sure
the seat belts are positioned so they are
ready to use.
55)
WARNING
53)Never press button 2 when travelling.
54)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.
55)Make sure that the backrest is correctly
secured on both sides (red bands not visible)
to prevent it from moving forward in the
event of sharp braking, causing injuries to
occupants.

FITTING "UNIVERSAL" CHILD
RESTRAINTSYSTEM (with seat
belts)
GROUP 0 and 0+
65) 66) 67) 68) 69)
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried with a
rear facing child restraint system of a
type as shown in fig. 48 which, supporting
the head, does not induce stress on the
neck in the event of sudden
decelerations.
The child restraint system is secured by
the vehicle seat belts, as shown in
fig. 48 and it must restrain the child in
turn with its own belts.
GROUP 1
64) 65) 66) 67) 68) 69)
Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may
be transported in forward facing child
restraint systems fig. 49.
GROUP 2
65) 66) 67) 68) 69)
Children from 15 to 25 kg may be
restrained directly by the car seat belts
fig. 50.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
65) 66) 67) 68) 69)
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg,
there are dedicated restraint systems
that allow the seat belt to be worn
correctly.
The fig. 51 shows the correct child
positioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear
seat belts like adults.

PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON UNIVERSAL CHILD RESTRAINTSYSTEM USE
According to the European Directive 2000/3/EC the suitability of each passenger seat position for the fixing of universal child
restraint systems is shown in the following table:
WARNING
64)Child restraint systems with Isofix attachments are available for a safe anchoring to the seat without using the car seat belts. See paragraph
"Isofix child restraint system setup" for the fitting instructions.
65)The diagram is indicative and for fitting purposes only. Fit the child restraint system according to the instructions, which must be included.
66)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.
67)After installing a child restraint system, do not move the seat: always remove the child restraint system before making any adjustment.
68)Always make sure that the diagonal 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.

ISOFIX CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM SETUP
The vehicle is equipped with ISOFIX
anchorages, a new standard which makes
fitting a child restraint system quick,
simple and safe.
Traditional child restraint systems can be
fitted alongside Isofix child restraint
systems on different seats in the same
car.
As an example, fig. 52 shows an example
of a Universal Isofix child restraint
system for weight group 1.
70)
The other weight groups are covered by
specific Isofix child restraint systems,
which can be used only if specifically
tested for this car (see list of cars
provided with the child restraint system).
IMPORTANT The central rear seat is not
approved for any type of Isofix child
restraint system.
INSTALLING A UNIVERSAL ISOFIX
CHILD RESTRAINTSYSTEM
Proceed as follows:
attach the child restraint system to
the special lower metal rings 2 fig. 53,
located inside the rear seat backrest (to
access the rings lift hinge 1);
secure the upper belt (available
together with the child restraint system)
to the special attachments 1
fig. 54 located in the rear part of the
backrest.It is possible to have a mixed assembly of
traditional child restraint systems and
Universal Isofix ones. Remember that
when using a Universal Isofix child
restraint system, you can only use
approved child restraint systems with
the marking ECE R44 (R44/03 or
superior) “Universal Isofix”.
Refer to the instruction manual provided
with the child restraint system for
further details on installation/use.71)

SAFETY
Page 78 of 216
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,
at least until 3–4 years old.
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 side front airbag is
deactivated always check the permanent
switching on of the warning light
in
the panel above the interior rear-view
mirror 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
seats without instructions.
Only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry two
children simultaneously.
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 a crash.
In the event of an accident, replace the
child restraint system with a new one. In
addition, and depending on the type of
child restraint system installed, replace
the Isofix anchorages or the seat belt
with which the child restraint system was
connected.
The rear head restraint can be
removed if needed to install a child
restraint system. The head restraint must
always be present in the vehicle and
fitted if the seat is used by an adult
passenger or a child sitting in a restraint
system without backrest.
WARNING
70)The diagram is indicative and for fitting
purposes only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which must be
included.
71)If a Universal ISOFIX child seat 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.72)Fit the child restraint system when the
car is stationary. The child restraint system
is correctly secured 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.
73)Do not use the same lower anchorage to
install more than one child restraint system.
