WARNING
7)All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary and engine stopped.
8)If a side bag is fitted, it is dangerous to
use seat covers not available from
Lineaccessori MOPAR
®.
9)Once you have released the adjustment
lever, always check that the seat is locked
on the guides by trying to move it back and
forth. If the seat is not locked into place, it
may unexpectedly slide and cause the
driver to lose control of the car.
10)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides to prevent them from
moving forward, in the event of sharp
braking, with possible impact with of the
passengers.
WARNING
3)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term
wear deriving from normal use of the car.
Some precautions are however required.
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 it to break,
thereby damaging the upholstery.
4)Before tilting the backrest, remove any
objects on the seat cushion.
HEADRESTS
11)
FRONT
Adjustment
Headrests can be adjusted in height.
Upward adjustment:raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downward adjustment:press button
A fig. 13 and lower the head restraint.
12)
REAR
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Adjustment
Upward adjustment (usage
condition):raise the head restraint until
it clicks into place.
Downward adjustment:
simultaneously press the buttons A fig.
14 and B at the sides of the two
supports, and lower the head restraint.The particular shape of the head
restraint deliberately interferes with the
correct support of the rear passenger’s
back on the backrest in order to force
them to lift the head restraint for correct
use.
IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used,
always set the head restraints in the
"completely raised" position.
Removal
To remove the rear head restraints,
simultaneously press buttons A fig. 14
and B at the sides of the two supports
and pull them upwards. The rear head
restraints must be lifted out with the

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, until 3–4 years old if possible.
If the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated always check the
permanent switching on of the specific
warning light 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 using one child restraint
system.
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.
If the car has been involved in a road
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 headrest can be removed if
needed to install a child restraint
system. The headrest must always be
fitted in the car if the seat is used by an
adult passenger or a child sitting in a
restraint system without a backrest.
WARNING
89)SEVERE DANGER When a front
passenger airbag is fitted, do not install
rearward facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag in a crash could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a
collision.90)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if
a rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)
- Airbag" paragraph).
91)Should it be necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front seat in a rear
facing child restraint system, the passenger
side front and side airbags must be
deactivated through the display main
menu, verifying deactivation by checking
that the warning light
located in the
central part of the dashboard has switched
on. Move the passenger's seat as far
back as possible to avoid contact between
the child seat and the dashboard.
92)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
93)Child restraint systems with Isofix
attachments are available for a safe
anchoring to the seat without using the car
seat belts. For this type of seats see
paragraph "Installation of an Isofix child
restraint system" in this chapter.
94)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided
by the Manufacturer.
