When over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults and
have to wear the standard seat belts.
Lineaccessori Fiat has child seats for each weight group.
These devices are recommended, having been specifically
designed for Fiat cars.CARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY
For optimum protection in the event of a crash, all pas-
sengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint
systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EU countries pur-
suant to Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with an adult, a child’s head is larger and heav-
ier in proportion to his/her body and the child’s muscu-
lar and bone structures are not fully developed. For this
reason, they require restraint systems which are differ-
ent from those used by adults to protect them in the event
of an accident. The result of research in relation to the
best protection for children is illustrated in European Reg-
ulation ECE-R44, which divides the restraint systems in-
to five groups in addition to making their use compulso-
ry:
Group 0 up to 10 kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
As you can see, the groups overlap partly and, in fact, there
are devices on sale that cover more than one weight group.
All child restraint devices must bear the certification da-
ta, together with the control brand, on a solidly fixed to
the seat label which must never be removed.

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards
on a cradle seat, which, by supporting the head, does
not induce stress on the neck in the event of sharp de-
celeration.
The cradle is held in place by the car seat belts fig. 135 and
in turn it must restrain the child with its own belts.

It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts with a damp
cloth and a solution of water and non-abrasive mild soap.
To remove grease and tough stains, use products designed
specifically for cleaning plastics. These have no solvents
and have been designed so that they do not alter the ap-
pearance and colour of the components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirits or petroleum to clean the
instrument panel.

its and/or alcohol-based substances.

The fabric upholstery of your car is designed
to withstand normal wear and tear for
a long time. Some precautions are needed
though. Avoid prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal buckles
and Velcro strips which, by applying a high pressure
on the fabric in a small area, could cause some
threads to break, thereby damaging the upholstery.
