Below is a summary of the rules of
safety to be followed for carrying
children:
1) The recommended position for in-
stalling child’s seat is on the rear seat, as
it is the most protected in the case of a
crash.
2) If the passenger airbag is deactivated,
always check that it is properly deactivat-
ed by ensuring the warning light “is on
with a fixed light on the instrument pan-
el.
3) Attain to the instructions for fastening
the specific child restraint system which
you are using. These instructions must be
provided by the manufacturer. Keep the
child restraint system installation instruc-
tions with the car documents and this
Handbook. Never use a child restraint sys-
tem without installation instructions.4) Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling the webbing.
5) Only one child is to be strapped to
each retaining system.
6) Always check the seat belts do not fit
around the child’s throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or release the belts.
8) Passengers should never carry children
on their laps. No-one, however strong
they are, can hold a child in the event of
a crash.
9) In case of an accident, replace the
child’s seat with a new one.
With passenger’s air bag ac-
tive, never place child’s seats
with the cradle facing backwards
since the air bag activation could
cause to the child serious injuries,
even mortal, regardless of the seri-
ousness of the crash that triggered it.
You are advised to carry children al-
ways with proper restraint systems on
the rear seats, as this is the most pro-
tected position in the case of a crash.

GENERAL WARNINGS
1) The front air bags and/or front and
front side bags (where provided) may be
deployed if the car is subject to heavy
knocks or accidents involving the under-
body area, such as for example violent
shocks, against steps, kerbs or low obsta-
cles, falling of the car in big holes or sags
in the road.
2) When the airbag inflates it emits a small
amount of dusts. These dusts are harm-
less and is not the beginning of a fire; then
the unfold cushion surface and the car in-
teriors can be covered by a dusty remains:
this dust can irritate skin and eyes. In case
of contact, wash yourself using neutral
soap and water.3) Should an accident occur in which any
of the safety devices is activated, take the
car to a Fiat Dealership to have the de-
vices activated replaced and to have the
system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement op-
erations concerning the air bags must on-
ly be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.
If you are having the car scrapped, have
the air bag system deactivated at a Fiat
Dealership first. If the car changes own-
ership, the new owner must be informed
of the method of use of air bags and the
above warnings and also be given this
“Owner Handbook”.4) The triggering of pretensioners, front
air bags and front side bags is decided in
a differentiated manner, depending on the
type of crash. The failure to deploy one or
more of them does not mean that the sys-
tem is not working properly.
