For maximum safety,
keep the back of your seat
upright, lean back into it and make
sure the seat belt fits closely
across your chest and hips. Make
sure that the seat belts of the front
and rear passengers are fastened
at all times! You increase the risk
of serious injury or death in a

collision if you travel
with the belts unfastened.
Under no circumstances should
the components of the seat belts
and pretensioners be tampered
with or removed. Any operation
should be carried out by qualified
WARNING
and authorised personnel.
Always contact a Fiat
Dealership.
If the belt has been subjected to
heavy stress, for example after
and accident, it should be changed
completely together with the an -
chors, anchor fastening screws
and the pretensioners. In fact,
even if the belt has no visible de -

gle belt to protect them both. Do not
fasten other objects to the body.
❒always use the belt with the tap taut
and never twisted; make sure that it
is free to run without impediments;
❒after a serious accident, replace the
belt being worn at that time, even if it
does not appear damaged. Always re-
place the seat belts if pretensioners
have been activated;
❒to clean the belts, wash by hand with
neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in
the shade. Never use strong deter-
gents, bleach or dyes or other chem-
ical substance that might weaken the
fibres;
❒prevent the reels from getting wet:
their correct operation is only guar-
anteed if water does not get inside;
❒replace the seat belt when showing
significant wear or cut signs.
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 re-
straint systems are contained in the Euro-
pean Standard EEC-R44. This Standard en-
forces the use of restraint systems classi-
fied in five groups:

WARNING
As it may be noted, the groups
overlap partly and in fact, in
commerce it is possible to find
devices that cover more than
one weight group.
All restraint devices must bear the cer-
tification 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.

GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing
backwards on a cradle seat, which, sup-
porting the head, does not induce stress
on the neck in the event of sharp decel-
eration.
The cradle is restrained by the
vehicle seat belts fig. 7and in
turn it must restrain the child with its
own belts.
WARNING
GROUP 1
Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, chil-
dren may be carried facing forwards, with
seat fitted with front cushion, through
which the vehicle seat belt restrains both
child and seat fig. 8.

WARNING
Children taller than 1.50 m can wear seat
belts like adults.

Seats exist which are suitable for covering weight groups 0 and 1 with a rear connection to the vehicle belts and
their own belts to restrain the child. Due to their size, they can be dangerous if installed incorrectly fastened to the
vehicle belts with a cushion. Carefully follow the instructions for installation provided with the seat.
GROUP 2
Starting from 15 kg to 25 kg in weight, children may be restrained directly by the vehicle belts fig. 9. The only function of the seat
is to position the child correctly in relation to the belts, so that the diagonal part adheres to the chest and not to the neck and that
the horizontal part clings to the child’s pelvis and not the abdomen.

PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE
“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX”
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
This vehicle is preset for mounting the
Universal Isofix child restraint system, a
new European standardised system for
carrying children safely.
Fig. 11shows a child restraint system by
way of example.
Due to its different anchoring system, the
Universal Isofix child’s seat shall be an-
chored to the proper lower metal rings
A-fig. 12, set between rear seat back
and cushion. The upper belt (provided
with the child’s seat) shall be then secured
to ring B-fig. 13located in the rear part
of the seat.
It is possible to mount at the same time
both the traditional restraint system and
the “Universal Isofix” one.
Remember that in case of Universal Isofix
child’s seat, you can only use all those
seats approved with the marking ECE
R44/03 “Universal Isofix”.At Lineaccessori Fiat is available the “Uni-
versal Isofix” “Duo Plus” child’s seat.
For any further installation/use detail, re-
fer to the “Instructions Manual” that must
be provided by the child restraint system
Manufacturer.

The driver / passenger front air bags are
not a replacement of but complementary
to the use of belts, which should always
be worn, as specified by law in Europe and
most non European countries.
At their maximum inflation, the front air
bags volume fills most of the space be-
tween driver and steering wheel and be-
tween dashboard and passenger.
In case of crash, a person not wearing the
seat belt moves forward and may come in-
to contact with the cushion while it is still
inflating. Under this circumstance the pro-
tection offered by the air bag is reduced.Front air bags may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in collisions against highly deformable
objects not affecting the vehicle front
surface (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, heaps of gravel, etc.);
❒in case of wedging under other vehi-
cles or protective barriers (for exam-
ple under a truck or guard rail), the air
bag is not triggered as it offers no ad-
ditional protection compared with the
seat belts, consequently it would be
pointless. Therefore, failure to come
into action in the above circumstance
does not mean that the system is not
working properly.
fig. 16F0N0140mfig. 17F0N0133m
Do not apply stickers or other ob -
jects to the steering wheel or to the
air bag cover on the passenger’s
side or on the side roof lining. Nev -
er put objects (e.g. mobile phones)
on the dashboard on passenger side
since they could interfere with
proper air bag inflation and also
cause serious injury.
In minor crashes (for which the restraining
action of the seat belts is sufficient), the air
bags are not deployed. Also in this case it
is of vital importance to wear the seat belts
since in case of side crash they guarantee
proper positioning of the occupant and
prevent the occupants to be pitched out of
the vehicle in case of violent crashes.

Side bags (where provided)
protect vehicle occupants from
side crashes of medium-high severity, by
placing the cushion between the occu-
pant and the internal parts of the side
structure of the vehicle.
WARNING
Non-activation of side bags in
other types of collisions (front
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...)
is not a system malfunction.
In case of side crash, an electronic con-
trol unit, when required triggers the in-
flation of the cushion. The cushion im-
mediately inflates, placing itself as a pro-

pant’s body and the structure
that could cause injuries. Immediately af-
