a label remembering that it is compulsory to
deactivate the airbags if a rearward facing child
restraint system is fitted. Always comply with the
instructions on the sun visor. (see the "Front airbags"
paragraph in chapter "Safety").
SUN ROOF(for versions/markets, where provided)

glass, one of which is mobile and the other fixed.
These are equipped with two
sun blinds (front and rear) that can be moved
manually.
The sun blinds be used in "fully closed" or "fully
open" positions (they have no fixed intermediate
positions).

SEAT BELTS MAINTENANCE
Observe the following precautions for correct seat
belt maintenance:
❒always use the seat belt with the strap well
stretched and not twisted; make sure that it is free
to run without obstructions;
❒ check seat belt operation as follows: attach the
seat belt and pull it hard;
❒ replace the belt after an accident of a certain
severity even if it does not appear to be damaged.
Always replace the seat belt if the pretensioners
were deployed;
❒ to clean the seat belts, wash by hand with water
and neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in the
shade. Never use strong detergents, bleach, paints
or any other substance which could damage the
belt fibres;
❒ prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct
operation is only guaranteed if water does not
get inside;
❒ replace the seat belt when it shows wear or cuts.
CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELYFor optimal protection in the event of an impact, all
occupants must be seated and wearing adequate
restraint systems, including newborn 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 the event
of an accident, braking or a sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and comfortably. As
far as the characteristics of the child restraint
systems used allow, you are advised to keep children
in rear facing restraint systems for as long as possible
(at least until 3–4 years old), since 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:GroupWeight groups
Group 0 up to 10 kg of weight
Group 0+ up to 13 kg of weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg of weightAll child restraint devices must bear the certification
data, together with the control mark, on a label
solidly fixed to the seat 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.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER.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 . It is advisable to always carr y children
in a child restraint system on the rear seat ,
which is the most protected position in the
event of a collision.WARNING
On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that
it is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a
rear facing child restraint system is fitted.
Always comply with the instructions on the
passenger's side sun visor (see the "Front
airbag" paragraph).WARNING
Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
