been designed to withstand
wear deriving from common
use of the car. You are how-
ever recommended to avoid strong
and/or continuous scratching with
clothing accessories such as metallic
buckles, studs, Velcro fastenings and
the like, since these items cause cir-
cumscribed stress of the cover fabric
that could lead to yarn breaking, and
damage the cover as a consequence.fig. 28F0M0057m

With passenger’s air bag ac-
tive, never place child’s seats
with the cradle facing backwards since
the air bag activation could cause to
the child serious injuries, even mortal,
regardless of the seriousness of the
crash that triggered it. You are advised
to carry children always with proper
restraint systems on the rear seats, as
this is the most protected position in
the case of a crash.
WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER Should
it be absolutely necessary to
carry a baby on the front
passenger seat with a child's
seat with the cradle facing
backwards, deactivate the
passenger's front and side bags (for
chest and pelvis protection, where
provided) using the set up menu and
then check warning light Fon the
cluster to make sure that deactivation
has actually took place. The front
passenger's seat shall be adjusted in
the most backward position to pre-
vent any contact between child's seat
and dashboard.
WARNINGOver 1.50 m in height, from the point of
view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and wear the seat
belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for each
weight group, which are the recommend-
ed choice, as they have been designed and
experimented specifically for Fiat cars.

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒ When a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing a bulb. For the location of fus-
es, refer to the paragraph “If a fuse
blows” in this section;
❒ Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒ Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tem-
perature and the level of air humidity. It
will disappear as soon the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
car:
AGlass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull
to remove.BBayonet type bulbs: to remove this
type of bulb from its holder, press
the bulb and turn it counter-clock-
wise.
CTubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
D-EHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place. Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent bulb
is touched with the fingers, its
lighting intensity is reduced and life of
the bulb may be compromised. If
touched accidentally, rub the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and al-
low to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without bearing the fea-
tures of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
