Below is a summary of the safety rules to
be followed for carrying children.
❒Install the child seats on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position in
the event of an accident.
❒If the passenger’s airbag is deactivated,
always check the warning light
“on the
instrument panel to make sure that it
has actually been deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions sup-
plied 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 child seats without instructions.❒Always check the seat belt is well fa-
stened by pulling the belt.
❒Only one child is to be strapped to ea-
ch retaining system.
❒Always check the seat belts do not fit
around the child’s throat.
❒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 event of an accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace the
child’s seat with a new one.
Do not arrange child seats on
the front seat in vehicles fit-
ted with a passenger’s airbag. Chil-
dren must never travel on the front
seat.
WARNING

RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUP
(where provided)
Provision has been made on the vehicle
for mounting a Universal Isofix child re-
straint system, a new European standar-
dised system for carrying children safely.
Isofix systems can be mounted simulta-
neously with a traditional restraint system.
An example of child seat is shown in fig.
11. The Universal Isofix child seat covers
weight group: 1.
The other weight groups are covered by
specific Isofix child seats, which can be
used only if specifically designed, tested
and type-approved for this vehicle (see
vehicle list provided with the child seat).

FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is provided with front airbags
for the driver and the passenger.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front airbags on both the driver’s and
passenger’s side (where provided) have
been designed to protect the 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.
Non-deployment of the airbags in other
types of collisions (side collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not necessa-
rily indicate a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag
to inflate in the event of a front crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing
itself between the front occupant’s body
and the structures which could cause
injury. It will deflate immediately af-
terwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags (whe-
re provided) are not a replacement of, but
complementary to, the seat belts, which
you are recommended to always wear as
specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.In the event of a collision, a person not
wearing the seat belt may be thrown
forward and come into contact with the
bag before it has fully opened. The pro-
tection offered by the bag is reduced in su-
ch a case.
Front airbags may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in front collisions against highly defor-
mable objects which do not affect the
front surface of the vehicle (e.g. bum-
per collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒vehicle penetration under other vehi-
cles or protective barriers (e.g. trucks
or guard rails);
they could not provide any additional pro-
tection compared with seat belts, so their
deployment would be improper. In these
cases non-deployment of the airbag does
not necessarily indicate a system malfunc-
tion.Do not apply stickers or
other objects on the steering
wheel, on the dashboard (in passen-
ger side airbag area) and on the seats.
Do not place objects (e.g. cell pho-
nes) on the passenger’s side dash-
board because these could interfere
with correct deployment of the pas-
senger’s airbag and cause severe
injury to vehicle occupants.
WARNING
The front airbags on the driver’s and pas-
senger’s sides are designed and calibrated
to protect the front seat passengers who
wear safety belts.
The volume of the front airbags at max.
inflation fills most of the space between
the steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the passen-
ger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event
of front collisions of low severity (for whi-
ch the withholding action of the seat belts
is sufficient). Safety belts must always be
worn. In the event of a front crash they
ensure the correct positioning of the oc-
cupant.

FRONT AIRBAG ON
PASSENGER’S SIDE
(where provided) fig. 15
It consists of an instant-inflating bag con-
tained into a special recess in the dash-

that of the driver.
Do not arrange child seats fa-
cing backwards if the passen-
ger’s front airbag is on. De-
ployment of the airbag in the
event of an accident could
cause fatal injuries to the baby. Always
deactivate the passenger’s airbag
when placing a child seat on the front
seat. Move the passenger’s seat as far
back as possible to avoid contact
between the child seat and the dash-
board. Although this is not mandatory
by law, the airbag should be imme-
diately reactivated when children are
no longer carried to ensure better pro-
tection to adults.

PROTECTION (where provided)
Whenever a child needs to be carried on
the front seat, the passenger’s front airbag
and the Side Bag for breast and pelvis pro-

tivated.
The warning light
“on the instrument pa-
nel stays on steady until reactivating the
passenger’s front airbag and the Side Bag
(where provided).
IMPORTANT To deactivate the passen-
ger’s front airbag and the Side Bag (whe-
re provided), refer to paragraphs “Digital

SIDE BAGS
(where provided)
Some versions have front side bags on
both the driver’s and passenger’s sides.
Side bags protect vehicle occupants from
side crashes of medium-high severity, by
placing the bag between the occupant and
the internal parts of the side structure of
the vehicle.
Non-deployment of side bags in other ty-
pes of collisions (front collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc...) does not neces-
sarily indicate a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bags
to inflate in the event of a frontal crash.
The bags inflate instantaneously placing
themselves between the front occupant’s
body and the structures which could cau-
se injury. They deflate immediately af-
terwards.
Side bags are not a replacement of, but
complementary to, the seat belts, which
you are always recommended to wear, as
specified by law in Europe and in most
non-European countries.
For this reason, the seat belt must be
worn at all times. During side collisions
the seat belts hold the occupant in the
correct position and prevent ejection
from the vehicle during very violent colli-
sions.SIDE BAGS fig. 16
(where provided)
It consists of an instant-inflating bag hou-
sed in the front seat backrest. It protects
the chest and the hips of the passengers
in the event of side crashes of medium-hi-
gh severity.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side crash,
the system provides best protection if the
passenger sits on the seat in a correct po-
sition, thus allowing correct side bag de-
ployment.
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with
water or pressurised steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).

HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between
the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards until the vehicle is
blocked to operate the handbrake.
When the handbrake lever is pulled up
and the ignition key is on MAR, the in-
strument panel warning light xwill turn
on.
Proceed as follows to release the hand-
brake:
❒slightly lift the handbrake and press the
release button A-fig. 1;
❒hold button Apressed and lower the
lever. Warning light xon the instru-
ment panel will go out.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out
this operation to prevent the vehicle from
moving accidentally.PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the hand-
brake;
❒engage a gear (on a slope, engage first
gear if the vehicle faces uphill or reverse
if it faces downhill) and leave the wheels
steered.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope,
it is advisable to further block the wheels
with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the ignition key on MARto
prevent draining the battery. Always re-
move the key when you leave the vehi-
cle.
Never leave children unattended in the ve-
hicle. Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the vehicle and take it out
with you. STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOPwhile the en-
gine is idling.
IMPORTANTAfter a demanding dri-
ve, you should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by letting
it idle to allow the temperature in the en-
gine compartment to fall.
A quick burst on the acceler-
ator before turning off the en-
gine serves absolutely no
practical purpose, it wastes
fuel and is damaging especially to tur-
bocharged engines.

The vehicle must be braked
after a few snaps of the
lever, otherwise, contact the Fiat
Dealership for regulation.
