F0N0123mfig. 148
GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards on
a cradle seat, which, supporting the head, does not
induce stress on the neck in the event of sharp
decelerations.
The cradle is restrained by the vehicle seat belts fig. 148
and it in turn must restrain the child with its own belts.
The figures are indicative for assembly
purposes only. To install the child
restraint, refer to the instructions supplied with
the same.
WARNING
F0N0124mfig. 149
GROUP 1
From 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, children may be carried
facing forwards seated on child seats fitted with a front
cushion. With these seats the vehicle seat belt is used to
restrain both child and seat, fig. 149.
Some child restraint systems for weight
group 0 and 1 have a rear attachment
to the car seat belts and its own seat belts for
securing the child. Due to their weight, they
may be dangerous if incorrectly mounted
(e.g. if fastened to the vehicle seat belts placing
a cushion in between). Follow the assembly
instructions carefully.

INDEX
Below is a summary of the rules of safety to be
followed for carrying children:
1) The recommended position for installing child seats
is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected area in
the event of a crash.
2) If the passenger’s air bag is deactivated always check
the amber warning light on the control panel to make
sure that it has actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system which are mandatory by law.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle along with the other
papers and this handbook. Do not use second-hand
child seats without instructions.
4) Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
5) Only one child is to be strapped into each retaining
system; never carry two children using one child seat.
6) Always check that the seat belts do not restrain the
child’s throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly
or release the belts.
8) Never carry children on your lap, even newborns.
No-one, however strong, can restrain a child in the
event of an accident.
9) In the event of an accident, replace the child’s seat
with a new one.
Do not place a cradle seat facing
backwards on the front seat if the
passenger side airbag is on. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the baby regardless of the severity of the
collision. It is advisable to carry children in an
appropriate restraint system on the rear seat
which is the most protected position in the
event of an accident.
WARNING
“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX”
CHILD RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY SETUP
Provision has been made on the vehicle to fit
a Universal Isofix child restraint system, a new European
standardised system for carrying children safely. An
example of a child seat is shown in fig. 152. Due to its
different anchoring system, the Universal Isofix child’s
seat must be secured using the special lower metal rings
A-fig. 153, positioned between rear backrest and
cushion. The upper belt (provided with the child’s seat)
must be then secured to ring B-fig. 154 located in the
lower part of the seat. It is possible to have a mixed
assembly of traditional child seats and Universal Isofix
seats.
Remember that, in the case of Universal Isofix child
seats, you can use all those seats bearing the marking
ECE R44/03 Universal Isofix.

SIDE BAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front side bags for driver and
passenger (for versions/markets where provided) for
protecting the chest and window bags (for versions/
markets where provided) for protecting front and rear
passengers’ heads.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) protect
occupants from side impacts of medium-high severity, by
placing the bag between the occupant and the internal
parts of the side structure of the vehicle. Non-activation
of side bags in other types of collisions (head-on
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not an
indication of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate
in the event of a side impact. The bags inflate
instantaneously placing themselves between the
occupants’ bodies and the structures which could cause
injury. They deflate immediately afterwards.
Side bags (for versions/markets where provided) are not
a replacement of but complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always wear, as specified by
law in Europe and most non-European countries.
FRONT SIDE BAGS – CHEST AND PELVIS
ZONE fig. 157 (for versions/markets where provided)
Housed in the seats’ backrests, they consist of an
instantly-inflating bag designed to protect the occupants’
chest and pelvis zone in the event of a side impact of
medium-high severity. MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF PASSENGER’S
FRONT AIR BAG AND SIDE BAG CHEST
PROTECTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
Whenever a child needs to be carried on the front seat,
the passenger’s front airbag and the Side Bag chest
protection (for versions/markets where provided) must
be deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
Fwill switch on
constantly until the passenger’s front air bag and Side
Bag (chest protection) are reactivated (for versions/
markets where provided).
To deactivate the passenger’s front air
bag and the side bag (chest protection)
(for versions/markets where provided), refer to
paragraphs “Digital display” and “Multifunction
display” in section “Dashboard and controls”.

INDEX
With ignition key inserted, on MAR-ON,
even if the engine is off, the air bags can
activate even with the vehicle stopped, if it is hit
by another vehicle. For this reason, children
must never sit on the front seat, even if the
vehicle is not moving. On the other hand,
whenever the key is positioned on STOP,
the safety devices (airbags or pretensioners)
do not deploy after a collision. In this case
non-deployment of these devices does not
indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
If the vehicle has been subject to theft
or a theft attempt or if it has been
affected by vandalism, flooding or inundation,
have the air bag system checked at a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
Turning the ignition key to MAR-ON, the
warning light F(airbag on passenger’s
side enabled) goes on and flashes for a few
seconds, thus reminding the passenger that the
airbag on his/her side will deploy in the event of
a collision. After this time, the light goes off.
WARNING
Do not wash the car seats with water or
pressurised steam (either by hand or at
automatic washing stations).
WARNING
The front airbag is deployed in the event
of collisions with a more severe nature
than those required to activate the
pretensioners. For collisions in the range
between the two activation thresholds, the fact
that only the pretensioners activate is normal.
WARNING
Always drive keeping your hands on the
rim of the steering wheel so that, in the
event of airbag activation, it can inflate without
meeting obstacles. Do not drive with your body
bent forward. Keep the backrest in an upright
position, resting your back on it firmly.
WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to clothes
hangers or to the support handles.
The air bag does not replace seat belts but
increases their efficiency. Furthermore, since
front air bags are not deployed in low speed
collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts or roll-
overs, the passengers are only protected by the
seat belts which must be fastened at all times.

INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with a moist cloth
and a solution of water and mild soap. Use specific
products for cleaning plastic, without solvents and
specifically designed to prevent damage to the
appearance and colour of the treated parts to remove
grease and tough stains.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol or petroleum to clean
the instrument panel.
LEATHER STEERING WHEEL/GEAR KNOB
These components must be cleaned with mild soap and
water only.
Never use alcohol and/or alcohol-based products.
Before using off-the-shelves products designed for
cleaning car interiors, make sure that they do not
contain alcohol and/or alcohol based substances before
using them.
If window cleaner accidentally drips onto the steering
wheel or gear lever knob, wipe away immediately and
then wash the affected area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when using a steering wheel
lock device, where applicable, to prevent damaging the
leather upholstery by rubbing. SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution
of water and neutral detergent.
The fabric upholstery of your vehicle is
designed to withstand the normal wear
and tear of your vehicle for a long time.
You are however recommended to avoid strong
and/or continuous scratching with clothing
accessories such as metal buckles, studs, Velcro
fastenings and the like, as these items cause stress
of the cover fabric that could lead threads to
break and damage the upholstery.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR DEALING WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE
Fiat has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its production
processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly compatible with the ecosystem.
To assure customers of the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European
Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Fiat is offering their customers the opportunity of handing
over their vehicle* at the end of its life without incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should not incur any expenses
as a result of its market value.
In particular, in almost all European Union countries, until 1st January 2007, vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 will be
collected free of charge, whilst from 2007 collection will be free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long as the
vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our Fiat dealerships or authorised collection
and scrapping centres.
These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of unused
vehicles with respect to the environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Fiat and Fiat Commercial Vehicle
Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 3428 0000 or on the Fiat website.
