Fabric upholstery of your car
is purpose-made to withstand
common wear resulting from
normal use of the car. It is
however absolutely necessary to pre-
vent hard and/or prolonged scratch-
ing/scraping caused by clothing acces-
sories like metallic buckles, studs, “Vel-
cro” fixings, etc. that stressing locally
the fabric could break yarns and dam-
age the upholstery as a consequence.
Only make adjustments when
the car is stationary.
Once you have released the
lever, check that the seat is
firmly locked in the runners by
trying to move it back and
forth. Failure to lock the seat in place
could result in the seat moving sud-
denly and the driver losing control of
the car.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
FRONT
Head restraints are adjustable in height
and they lock automatically in the required
position.
❒to raise: raise the head restraint until
hearing the locking click.
❒to lower: press button A-fig. 30and
lower the head restraint.
On some versions, the front head re-
straints are equipped with an anti-whiplash
device, which is able to reduce the dis-
tance between the head and head restraint
in the case of rear impact, limiting damage
caused by whiplash.
If the front head restraint is anti-whiplash
type, the head restraint may move if pres-
sure is exercised on the back-rest through
the torso or hand. This behaviour is typ-
ical of the system and should not treated
as a malfunction.REAR
Car is can be equipped with two head
restraints for side seats and, according to
versions, also with a third head restraint
for the central seat.
To lift out head restraint: take it com-
pletely out from the seat back (position of
use) until hearing a click.
To bring it back to the original position
(non-use position): press button
A-fig. 31and lower the head restraint
down into its seat.
IMPORTANT Rear seat passengers shall
always set the head restraints in the po-
sition of use.fig. 30F0Q0655m
Remember that the head re-
straints should be adjusted
to support the back of your head and
not your neck. Only in this position
do they exert their protective action.
WARNING
To optimise head restraint
protective action, adjust the
seat back upright and keep your head
as close as possible to the head re-
straint.

IMPORTANT When the seat back is cou-
pled properly, the “red band” B-fig. 3pre-
sent aside lever Adisappears. The “red
band” actually indicates improper seat
back coupling.
IMPORTANT Remember that in the
event of a violent collision, back seat pas-
sengers not wearing seat belts also rep-
resent a serious danger for the front seat
passengers.
fig. 3F0Q0683m
Make sure the seat back is
correctly hooked on both
sides (“red bands” B-fig. 3 not visible)
to prevent seat back being thrown
forwards and injuring passengers
should you brake sharply.
WARNING
IMPORTANT After putting the seats back
to their travelling position, restore the
seat belt position to make them ready for
use.

Four different adjustments in height are
provided.
To adjust, press button A-fig. 4and low-
er or raise the grip B.
Always adjust the height of the seat belt
to fit the person wearing it. This precau-
tion could greatly reduce the risk of injury
in case of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when the
belt passes half way between the end of
the shoulder and the neck.

SERIOUS DANGER Should it
be absolutely necessary to
carry a child on the front pas-
senger’s seat with the cradle
seat facing backwards, passen-
ger’s air bags (front and side
bags, where provided), shall be deacti-
vated through the setup menu. Deacti-
vation shall be checked through the in-
strument panel warning light
“. The
front passenger’s seat shall also be ad-
justed in the most backward position to
prevent any contact between child’s
seat and dashboard.
WARNING
CARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of a
crash, all passengers must be seated and
wearing adequate restraint systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
Compared with adults, their head is pro-
portionally larger and heavier than the rest
of the body, while the muscles and bone
structure are not completely developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems are
necessary, other than adult seat belts.
The results of research on the best child
restraint systems are contained in the Eu-
ropean Standard EEC-R44. This Standard
enforces the use of restraint systems clas-
sified in five groups:
Group 0 0-10 kg in weight
Group 0+ 0-13 kg in weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg in weightAs it may be noted, the groups overlap
partly and in fact, in commerce it is pos-
sible to find devices that cover more than
one weight group.
All restraint devices must bear the certi-
fication data, together with the control
brand, on a solidly fixed label which must
absolutely never be removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of
view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and wear the seat
belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for each
weight group, which are the recommend-
ed choice, as they have been designed and
experimented specifically for Fiat cars.With front passenger’s air
bag active do not place cra-
dle child’s seats facing backwards on
the front passenger seat since the air
bag activation could cause serious in-
juries, even mortal regardless of the
seriousness of the crash. You are ad-
vised to carry children always on the
rear seat, as this is the most protect-
ed position in the case of a crash.

PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE
ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This car is preset for mounting the Uni-
versal Isofix child restraint system, a new
European standardised system for carry-
ing children safely.
It is possible to mount at the same time
both the traditional restraint system and
the Isofix one.
Fig. 12shows a child’s seat by way of ex-
ample. The Universal Isofix child’s seat
covers weight group: 1.
Other weight groups are covered by a
specific Isofix child seat that can be used
only if specifically designed, tested and ap-
proved for his vehicle (see the list of ve-
hicles accompanying the child seat).
Due to its different anchoring system, the
Universal Isofix child’s seat shall be an-
chored to the proper lower metal rings
A-fig. 13, set between rear seat back and
cushion. The upper belt (provided with
the child’s seat) shall be then secured to
ring B-fig. 14set at the back of the seat
backrest at child’s seat height.Remember that in case of Universal Isofix
child’s seat, you can only use all those
seats approved with the marking ECE
R44/03 Isofix.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒ When a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing a bulb. For the location of fus-
es, refer to the paragraph “If a fuse
blows” in this section;
❒ Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒ Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent bulb
is touched with the fingers, its
lighting intensity is reduced and life of
the bulb may be compromised. If
touched accidentally, rub the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and al-
low to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without bearing the fea-
tures of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Due to high voltage, the bulb
of (Bi-Xenon) gas-discharge
headlights must only be replaced by
experts: danger of death! Contact Fi-
at Dealership.
WARNING
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tem-
perature and the level of air humidity. It
will disappear as soon the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Fiat Dealership.
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
