ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SETUP
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Only for vehicles designed to carry
people, (homologation M1),
provision has been made on some
versions to fit a Universal Isofix child
restraint system, a new European
standardised system for carrying
children safely.
Isofix systems can be fitted
alongside a traditional child restraint
system. An example of a child
restraint system is shown in fig. 130.
The Universal Isofix child restraint
system covers weight group 1.
Specific Isofix child restraint systems
cover the other weight groups.
These seats must be designed,
tested and type-approved
specifically for this vehicle (refer to
the list of vehicles attached to the
child restraint system).Due to its different anchoring
system, the child restraint system
must be attached to the dedicated
lower metal rings A fig. 131, 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. 132
(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. 132 (one on each side) is
covered with a cloth cap, to be
removed for correctly fastening the
child restraint system.

SAFETY

WARNING
74) Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steering wheel, the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area and
the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger side of the dashboard since they could interfere
with correct inflation of the passenger airbag and also cause serious injury to the passengers.
75) When an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install rearward 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. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger side airbag when a rearward facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger seat. The front passenger seat must also be positioned back as far as possible in
order to prevent the child restraint system from coming into contact with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate the
passenger airbag as soon as the child restraint system has been removed.

between the front seats. Pull the
lever upwards to engage the

warning light
will switch on.

or reverse if it is facing downhill)
and leave the wheels steered.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope, it is advisable to block the
wheels with a wedge or stone.
To prevent draining the battery, do
not leave the ignition key turned
to MAR. Always remove the key
when you leave the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in
the vehicle. Always remove the
ignition key when leaving the

STARTING AND DRIVING

IMPORTANT
39) Some car washes with old-style
blades and/or in a poor state of
repair can damage the paintwork,
facilitating the formation of lines
that give the paint a dull/misty
appearance, especially on dark
colours. If this happens, lightly
polish the paintwork with
appropriate products.
IMPORTANT
6) Detergents cause water pollution.
The vehicle should be washed in
areas equipped for collecting
and purifying the liquid used in
the washing process.
INTERIORS
Regularly check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to
water dripping off shoes, umbrellas,
etc.), as this could cause oxidation
of the sheet metal.

leather of the steering wheel/gear
lever knob/hand brake, wipe away
immediately and then wash the
affected area with mild soap and
water.
