ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SETUP
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Only for vehicles designed to carry
people, (M1 approval), provision has
been made on some versions to fit
a Universal Isofix child restraint system,
a European standardised system for
carrying children safely.
The ISOFIX system lets you install the
ISOFIX child restraining system without
using the car seat belts but connecting
them directly to the car seat with three
anchors in the car.
Isofix systems can be fitted alongside a
traditional child restraint system. An
example of a child restraint system is
shown in fig. 112. The Universal Isofix
child's seat covers weight group: 1.
Due to its different anchoring system,
the child restraint system must be
attached to the dedicated lower metal
rings A fig. 113, located between the
backrest and rear cushion. After
removing the rear parcel shelf
(if present), secure the upper belt
(provided with the child restraint
system) to ring B fig. 114 (one on each
side) located behind the rear seat
cushion.NoteTo prevent possible scoring of the
table seat backrest, with folded rear
seat (for versions/markets, where
provided), anchorage ring Isofix B fig.
114 (one on each side) is covered with
a cloth cap, to be removed for correctly
fastening the child restraint system.
Remember that when using a Universal
Isofix child restraint system, you can
only use approved child restraint
system with the marking ECE R44
(R44/03 or superior) “Universal Isofix”.
The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child
restraint system and the special "G 0/1"
one are available from Lineaccessori
Fiat.
Refer to the instruction manual
provided with the child restraint system
for any further details on installation/
use.

SAFETY

Below is a summary of
the main safety rules to
be followed when
carrying children:
install the child restraint systems on
the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an
accident;
if you need to deactivate the
passenger airbag, always check that it
is actually deactivated by checking
that the
warning light is on
constantly either alone or in the SBR
(according to the version, where
provided);
carefully follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint system,
which the manufacturer must supply by
law. Keep the instructions in the vehicle
along with the other papers and this
handbook. Do not install second-hand
child restraint systems without
instructions;
always check that the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling on it;
only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry
two children using one child restraint
system;
always check that seat belts do not
rest on the child’s neck;
while travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or release the belts;
never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No-one can hold
a child in the case of a crash.
if the car has been involved in a road
accident, replace the child restraint
system with a new one. In addition, and
depending on the type of child restraint
system installed, replace the Isofix
anchorages or the seat belt with which
the child restraint system was
connected.
The rear head restraint can be
removed if needed to install a child
restraint system. The head restraint
must always be present in the vehicle
and fitted if the seat is used by an adult
passenger or a child sitting in a restraint
system without backrest.
68) 69) 70) 71) 72) 73) 74) 75)
WARNING
67)Fit the child restraint system only when
the vehicle is stationary. The child restraint
system is correctly fixed to the setup
brackets when you hear the click. Follow
the instructions for assembly, disassembly
and positioning that the Manufacturer
must supply with the child restraint system.68)When there is an active passenger
airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing
child restraint systems on the front seat.
Always deactivate the passenger airbag
when a rear facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger seat.
69)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 side sun visor (see the
"Airbags" paragraph).
70)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
71)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.
72)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the car. Do not leave it unsecured inside
the passenger compartment. In this way, in
the event of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
73)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove
the child restraint system before making
any adjustment.
95

74)Always make sure that the diagonal
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.
75)Do not use the same lower anchoring
to install more than one child restraint
system.
76)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 an accident, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front airbag for
the driver and, for versions/markets
where provided, front airbag for the
passenger.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags (for
versions/markets where provided)
have been designed to protect the
front-seat occupants in the event of
head-on crashes of medium-high
severity, by placing the bag between
the occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Therefore, failure to deploy of the
airbags in other types of collisions (side
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.)
is not a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the
bag inflate in the event of a frontal
impact.
The bag will inflate instantaneously
placing itself between the front
occupants body and the structures
which could cause injury. It will deflate
immediately afterwards.Front driver/passenger airbags (for
versions/markets where provided) are
not a replacement for, but rather a
complement to, the seat belts, which
should be worn at all times as specified
by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In the event of an 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 cushion is
compromised in such a case.
Front airbags may not activate in the
following situations:
frontal impacts against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the vehicle (e.g. wing
collision against guard rail, etc.);
vehicle wedging under other vehicles
or protective barriers (e.g. trucks or
guard rails);
they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would not be
appropriate. In these cases, non-
deployment does not indicate a system
malfunction.
77) 78)
The driver's and passenger's front
airbags have been designed and
calibrated to protect front seat
occupants wearing seat belts.

SAFETY
79) 80) 81)

EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
stays on steadily, you can perform
an emergency start by using the code
on the CODE card (see the “In an
emergency” section).
22)
SWITCHING OFF THE
ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the
engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a long drive, you
should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by letting
it idle to allow the temperature in the
engine compartment to fall.
WARNING
91)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and engine exhaust contains
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and
other toxic gasses.
WARNING
18)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive accelerations, long distances at
top rpm, excessive intense braking, etc.)
as soon as the engine is started.19)When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.
20)If the warning light
flashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates an
anomaly in the glow plug pre­heating
system. Use the vehicle normally if the
engine starts, but contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
21)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the gearbox is
automatically placed in neutral will be
signalled by a buzzer.
22)Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This
could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
PARKING THE
VEHICLE
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever fig. 122 is located
between the two front seats.
Handbrake engagement:
Pull lever upwards until the vehicle is
secured. The warning light
comes
on with the key at MAR.
Handbrake disengagement:
slightly raise lever A and hold button B
fig. 122 pressed, checking that the
warning light switches off in the
instrument panel

PARKING THE VEHICLE
93) 94)
Proceed as follows when parking and
leaving the vehicle:
engage a gear (1stgear if facing
uphill or reverse if facing downhill) and
leave the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
always remove the ignition key.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, it is advisable to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the key in the MAR
position to prevent the battery from
running down.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission (Comfort-matic or
Dualogic™), wait for the letterPto
appear on the display before releasing
the brake pedal.
Versions with COMFORT-MATIC
transmission or DUALOGIC™
transmission
To park safely, it is essential to engage
1
stgear or reverse (R), with your foot on
the brake pedal and, if the road is
sloping, to operate the handbrake; it is
also essential to wait for the engaged
gear to disappear from the display
before releasing the brake pedal.IMPORTANT NEVER leave the vehicle
with the transmission in neutral (N)
or, on versions equipped with automatic
(Comfort-matic orDualogic™)
transmission, before putting the shift
lever in thePposition.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
With the vehicle stationary and a
gear engaged, always keep the brake
pedal pressed until you decide to
set off, then release the brake and
accelerate gently;
during prolonged stops with the
engine running, it is advisable to keep
the gearbox in neutral (N);
In order to safeguard the efficiency
of the clutch, do not use the
accelerator to keep the vehicle
stationary (e.g. when stopped on an
incline);
the clutch could overheat and be
damaged; use the brake pedal and only
operate the accelerator pedal when
you decide to set off;
only use second gear when you
need greater control for starting
manoeuvres on surfaces with poor grip;
if, with reverse gear (R) engaged,
you have to engage first gear or vice
versa, only do this when the vehicle is
completely stationary and with the
brake pedal pressed;
although it is strongly inadvisable, if
you are driving downhill and, for
unexpected reasons, you let the vehicle
move forward with the transmission in
neutral (N), when you engage a gear,
the system will automatically engage
the best gear to transmit the correct
drive torque to the wheels depending
on the vehicle's speed;
WARNING
92)The vehicle should be secured after
several clicks of the lever. If it is not,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have it
adjusted.
93)Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle. Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the vehicle and take it out
with you.
94)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the front wheels
must be steered towards the pavement
(when parking downhill), or in the opposite
direction if the vehicle is parked uphill. If
the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is
advisable to block the wheels with a wedge
or stone.

must not be used on other models. Do not
use spare wheels of other models on
your vehicle. The spare wheel must be
used only in an emergency. Use of the
spare wheel must kept to the minimum
necessary.122)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is
stationary. Passengers should get out
of the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel to be
changed away from the traffic. If you are on
a slope or uneven surface, place wedges
or other suitable objects under the wheels
to secure the vehicle. Have the wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible.
Do not apply grease to the bolt threads
