car is designed to withstand
normal wear and tear for
a long time. Some precau-
tions are needed though. Avoid pro-
longed and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as
metal buckles and Velcro strips which,
by applying a high pressure on the fab-
ric in a small area, could cause some
threads to break, thereby damaging
the upholstery.

SAFETY
Do not place a child seat
facing backwards on the
front seat if the passenger side airbag
is enabled. Deployment of the airbag
in an accident could cause fatal in-
juries to the baby regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable
to carry children in dedicated child
seats on the rear seat, which is the
most protected position in the event
of an accident.
WARNING
WARNING Should it be ab-
solutely necessary to carry
a child on the front seat in
a backwards-facing child
seat, the passenger’s front
and side airbags chest/pelvis
protection should be deactivated
through the setup menu. Deactiva-
tion can be verified by checking the
warning light on the instrument pan-
el. Also, the passenger seat should be
as far back as possible to avoid con-
tact between the child seat and the
dashboard.
WARNINGWhen over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems, children
are considered as adults and have to wear
the standard seat belts.
Lineaccessori Fiat has child seats for each
weight group. These devices are recom-
mended, having been specifically designed
for Fiat cars.
