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.
❒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's front airbag is
deactivated always check the
dedicated LED on the trim located on
the dashboard switches on, to make
sure that it has actually been
deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint system
itself. Keep the instructions in the
vehicle along with the other documents
and this handbook. Do not use
second-hand child restraint systems
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 an accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace
the child restraint system with a new
one.
WARNING
75)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 an accident 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 an
impact.
76)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's side sun visor (see
the "Supplementary Restraint System
(SRS) - Airbag" paragraph).77)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
must be deactivated through the display
main Menu (see the instructions in the
"Display" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter), verifying
deactivation by checking whether the LED
has switched on in the trim located
on the dashboard. Move the passenger's
seat as far back as possible to avoid
contact between the child restraint system
and the dashboard.
78)Do not adjust the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
79)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.
80)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.
81)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove
the child restraint system before making
any adjustment.
85
9-1-2015 12:9 Pagina 85

82)Always make sure that the chest
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.
83)Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child restraint
system.
84)If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint
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.
85)Fit the child restraint system only when
the vehicle is stationary. The child restraint
system is correctly fixed 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.
SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) - AIRBAGThe vehicle is equipped with:
❒front driver airbag;
❒front passenger airbag;
❒driver knee bag (for versions/
markets, where provided);
❒front side bags for pelvis, chest and
shoulder protection of driver and
passenger (for versions/markets, where
provided);
❒side bags for head protection of front
seat passengers and rear side seat
passengers (window bag).FRONT AIRBAGSThe front driver/passenger airbags and
the driver's knee bag (for versions/
markets, where provided) protect the
front seat occupants in the event of
frontal impacts of medium/high severity,
by placing the bag between the
occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Therefore non-activation in other types
of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts,
roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.Driver and passenger front airbags are
not a replacement of but
complementary to the seat belts, which
should always be worn, as specified
by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of impact, those not
wearing a seat belt are projected
forwards and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating. The
protection offered by the bag is
compromised in these circumstances.
The front airbags may not activate in
the case of a frontal impact against
highly deformable objects not involving
the front surface of the vehicle (e.g.
wing collision against guard rail) or in
the case of the vehicle wedging under
other vehicles or protective barriers
(e.g. under trucks or guard rails).
Failure to activate in the conditions
described above is due to the fact that
they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would be inappropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does
not indicate a system malfunction.

9-1-2015 12:9 Pagina 89

88)SEVERE DANGER: when an active
passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install
rearward facing child restraint systems
on the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the impact. Therefore, always
deactivate the passenger side airbag when
a rearward facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger seat.
The front passenger seat must also be
positioned back as far as possible in order
to prevent the child restraint system from
coming into contact with the dashboard.
Immediately reactivate the passenger
airbag as soon as the child restraint system
has been removed.
89)When an active passenger airbag is
fitted, DO NOT install rear facing child
restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the child
regardless of the severity of the impact.
90)If the
warning light does not switch
on when the key is turned to MAR, or
stays on whilst driving, a fault may have
occurred in the restraint systems. In this
case the airbags or pretensioners may not
deploy in an impact or, in a lower number
of cases, they may be deployed
accidentally. Before proceeding, contact a
Fiat Dealership immediately to have the
system checked.
91)On some versions if the
warning
light does not switch on, thewarning
light switches on instead, deactivating
the explosive charges of the passenger
airbag.
92)If a side bag is present, do not cover
the front seat backrests with extra covers.93)Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between your
lips (pipe, pencils, etc.). They could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
94)If the vehicle has been subject to theft,
attempted theft, vandalism, or flooding,
have the airbag system inspected at a Fiat
Dealership.
95)When the ignition key is inserted and
turned to MAR, airbags may be deployed if
another vehicle crashes into yours, even if
the engine is not running and the vehicle
is stationary. Therefore, even if the vehicle
is stationary, when an active front
passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install
rearward facing child restraint systems
on the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag following an impact could cause
fatal injuries to the child. Therefore, always
deactivate the passenger side airbag
when a rearward facing child restraint
system is installed on the front passenger
seat. The front passenger seat must also
be positioned back as far as possible in
order to prevent the child restraint system
from coming into contact with the
dashboard. Immediately reactivate the
passenger airbag as soon as the child
restraint system has been removed. Also
remember that, if the key is turned to
STOP, none of the safety devices (airbags
or pretensioners) will be deployed in the
event of collision. Non-deployment in such
cases does not indicate a system
malfunction.96)The
LED indicates the passenger
side airbag protection status. If the LED is
off, passenger side protection is active:
to deactivate it, use the Setup Menu (in this
case the LED lights up). When the engine
is started (ignition key turned to MAR
position), the LED turns on for about 8
seconds, provided that at least 5 seconds
have elapsed from when it was switched
off. If not, contact a Fiat Dealership. If
the engine is switched off/on again in less
than 5 seconds the LED may remain off.
In this case, to check correct LED
operation, switch the engine off, wait for at
least 5 seconds and switch the engine
on again. The LED may light up with
various intensity levels depending on the
vehicle conditions. The intensity may also
vary during the same key cycle.
97)The airbag deployment threshold is
higher than that of the pretensioners. When
the impact is between the two deployment
thresholds, it is normal that pretensioners
only are engaged.
98)The airbag does not replace seat belts,
but increases their efficiency. Because
front airbags are not deployed for
low-speed crashes, side collisions,
rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants are
protected, in addition to any side bags,
only by their seat belts, which must
therefore always be fastened.
