CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELYFor optimal protection in the event of an impact, all
occupants must be seated and wearing adequate
restraint systems, including infants and other
children!
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with an adult, a child's head is larger and
heavier in proportion to his/her body and the child's
muscular and bone structures are not fully
developed. Therefore, correct restraint systems
other than adult seat belts are necessary to reduce
as much as possible the risk of injuries in case of
accident, braking or sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and comfortably. As
far as the characteristics of the child restraint
systems used, you are advised to keep children in
rearward facing restraint systems for as long as
possible (at least until 3–4 years old); this is the most
protected position in the event of an impact.
The choice of the most suitable child restraint device
depends on the weight of the child; there are
various types of child restraint systems and you are
advised always to choose the one that is most
suitable for the child.
When over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view
of restraint systems, children are considered as
adults and wear seat belts normally.In Europe the characteristics of children restraint
systems are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing
them into five weight groups:
Group Weight groups
Group0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kgAll restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers child restraint systems for
each weight group. These devices are recommended
having been specifically designed for Fiat cars.

WARNING
Extreme Hazard! Do not place rearward
facing infant seat in front of an active
air bag. Deployment of the air bag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby
regardless of the severity of the collision. It
is advisable to always carr y children in a child
restraint system on the rear seat , which is
the most protected position in the event of a
collision.
WARNING
Should it be necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front seat in a
rearward facing child restraint system, the
passenger side front airbag and side bag (for
versions/markets, where provided) must be
deactivated through the Setup menu.
Deactivation should be verified by checking
whether the
warning light is switched on in
the instrument panel.The passenger seat must
also be positioned back as far as possible in
order to avoid the child restraint system from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
WARNING
Do not adjust the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
