Repositioning the rear seat
To reposition the rear seat, push the backrest
backwards as shown in fig. 92 and secure it (when it
clicks into place, this indicates correct positioning).
WARNING
Make sure the backrest is properly
secured at both sides to prevent it
moving forward in the event of sharp braking
with possible impacts on possible occupants.
Repositioning the backrest
To bring the backrest back to normal usage position,
lift lever B fig. 88 and then raise the backrest until
vertical engagement position is reached."CARGO MAGIC SPACE"
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car features a load platform which can be
adjusted to three different heights, called "Cargo
Magic Space", permitting modular luggage
compartment volume:
❒Position 0 (platform completely lowered):
permits maximum luggage compartment capacity;
❒Position 1 (platform at threshold level):
permits a level load threshold to facilitate
loading/unloading of objects in the luggage
compartment. It also allows the space underneath
to be used as a further compartment for stowing
objects which are more fragile or small;
❒Position 2 (platform completely raised):in
conjunction with the lowering of the rear seat
and front passenger side seat backrests, permits
long objects to be loaded. It is advisable to use this
position only for the actual period in which the
objects are transported, then return the platform
to position 0 or 1.
The dimensions of the platform permit a
maximum capacity of distributed weight
of 70 kg (in position 1) or 40 kg (in
position 2): do not load objects with a higher
weight .

Sensor operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust ,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g. vehicles
that are driving not aligned with you car, vehicle
driving in a transverse or opposite way on the
same lane, bend with a small radius of curvature),
by road surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure the
windscreen is always clean. Use specific
detergents and clean cloths to avoid scratching
the windscreen.The sensor operation may also be
limited or absent in some driving, traffic and
road surface conditions.Projecting loads on the roof of the car
may interfere with the correct operation
of the sensor. Before starting make sure
the load is correctly positioned, in order not to
cover the sensor operating range.If the windscreen must be replaced due to
scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively a Fiat Dealership. Do not
replace the windscreen on your own, risk of
malfunction! It is advisable to replace the
windscreen if it is damaged in the laser sensor
area.
Do not tamper nor operate on the laser
sensor. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a sensor failure,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT If you are driving on roads close to
trees with protruding branches it is advisable to
deactivate the system to prevent the branches at the
height of the bonnet or the windscreen from
interfering with the system.Do not cover the operating range of the
sensor with stickers or other objects.
Also pay attention to other objects on the
bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make sure they
do not interfere with the light emitted by the
laser.
WARNING
The laser beam is not visible at the
naked eye. Do not look directly, or with
optical instruments (e.g. lenses), at the laser
beam from a distance lower than 10 cm: this
may cause damage to the sight .The laser beam
is also present when the key is at MAR-ON
but its operation is off, not available or
manually deactivated with the display Setup
Menu (see paragraph “Menu items” in this
chapter).

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.

GROUP 2
WARNING
The figure is indicative and for assembly
purposes only. Install the child restraint
system according to the instructions, which are
compulsorily included with this type of restraint
system.
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the car safety
belts directly fig. 19.
In this case, the child restraint system is needed only
to position the child correctly with respect to the
safety belts, so that the diagonal section of the safety
belt crosses the child’s chest and never the neck, and
the horizontal section of the safety belt is snug on
the pelvis, not the abdomen.GROUP 3

For children from 22 kg up to 36 kg suitable child
restraint systems make fastening the safety belt
easier.

like adults.
