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.

TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the car
must be fitted with a certified tow hook
and an adequate electric system. Installa-
tion should be carried out by specialised
personnel who release a special document
for circulation on the road.
Install any specific and/or additional rear-
view mirrors as specified by law.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the brak-
ing spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the car tow
hook reduces by the same amount the ac-
tual car loading capacity. To make sure the
maximum towable weight is not exceeded
(given in the log book) account should be
taken of the fully laden trailer, including ac-
cessories and personal belongings.
Do not exceed the speed limits of the
country you are driving in. In any case do
not exceed 80 km/h.INSTALLING
THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to
the body by specialised personnel accord-
ing to any additional and/or integrative in-
formation supplied by the Manufacturer of
the device. The towing device must meet
current regulations with reference to
94/20/EC Directive and subsequent
amendments. For any version the towing
device used must match the towable
weight of the car on which it is to be in-
stalled.
IMPORTANT Supplementary electric
loads other than external lights (e.g. elec-
tric brake, electric winch, etc.) shall be
used with running engine.
For the electric connection a unified con-
nector should be used which is generally
placed on a special bracket normally fas-
tened to the towing device, and a special
ECU for external trailer light control shall
be installed on the car.
For the electrical connection, 7 or 13 pin
12VDC connection is to be used (CU-
NA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow
the instructions provided by the car man-
ufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufac-
turer.
The ABS system with which
the car may be fitted does
not control the trailer braking system.
Drive with extreme care on slippery
roadbeds.
WARNING
Under no circumstances
should the car brake system
be altered to control the trailer brake.
The trailer braking system must be
fully independent of the car’s hy-
draulic system.
WARNING
Any electric brake (or electric winch, etc.)
should be supplied directly by the battery
through a cable with a cross section of no
less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other de-
vice shall be used with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the
car electric system can only be connect-
ed to the supply cable for an electric brake
and to the cable for an internal light,
though not above 15W. For connections
use the preset control unit with battery
cable no less than 2.5 mm
2.

ular engine operation. If the warning
light
cturns on (together with the
message on the display), contact Fi-
at Dealership as soon as possible to
have the system relieved. If the above
indications come on immediately af-
ter refuelling, water has probably
been poured into the tank: turn the
engine off immediately and contact
Fiat Dealership.

Check tyre pressure
The warning light (or the symbol on the
display) turns on to indicate that the tyre
pressure is below the recommended val-
ue which ensures the long life of the tyre
and optimum fuel consumption, and/or to
indicate a slow pressure leak.
Should two or more tyre be flat, the dis-
play will show the indications corre-
sponding to each tyre in sequence.
Restore proper inflation pressure values
as soon as possible (see paragraph “Cold
inflation pressures” in section “Technical
Specifications”).Tyre pressure unsuitable for speed
Should it be required to journey at a speed
higher than 160 km/h, inflate tyres at pres-
sures values specified in paragraph “Infla-
tion pressures”.
If the T.P.M.S. system (for versions/ mar-
kets, where provided) detects that the
pressure of one or more tyres is unsuit-
able for the current speed, the warning
light will turn on (together with the mes-
sage on the display) (see paragraph “Low
tyre pressure” in this section) and it will
stay on until the car speed slow downs be-
low the preset threshold.
IMPORTANT In this case slow down im-
mediately since tyre overheating could im-
pair tyre performance and life beyond re-
pair, and even make the tyre to blow-out.
Strong radio-frequency
noises could inhibit the reg-
ular operation of the T.P.M.S. sys-
tem. This condition will be indicat-
ed by a message (for versions/ mar-
kets, where provided). The warning
message will go off automatically as
soon as the radio-frequency noise
will stop to disturb the system.
