SAFETY
For optimum 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 EU
countries pursuant to Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with an adult, a child’s head is
larger and heavier in proportion to his/her
body and the child’s muscular and bone
structures are not fully developed. For this
reason, they require restraint systems
which are different from those used by
adults to protect them in the event of an
accident. The result of research in relation to the
best protection for children is illustrated
in European Regulation ECE-R44, which
divides the restraint systems into five
groups in addition to making their use
compulsory:
Group 0 up to 10 kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
As you can see, the groups overlap part-
ly and, in fact, there are devices on sale
that cover more than one weight group.
CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
All child restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the con-
trol brand, on a solidly fixed to the seat la-
bel which must never be removed.
When 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.

STARTING
AND DRIVINGHANDBRAKE fig. 1
The handbrake is located between the
two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the
handbrake. Four or five notches are nor-
mally sufficient to secure the car on flat
terrain, while nine or ten may be neces-
sary on a steep slope with the car loaded.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership to have the hand-
brake adjusted.
When the handbrake is on and the igni-
tion key is at MAR, the instrument panel
warning light
xwill come on.
PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the hand-
brake;
❒engage a gear (first gear if the vehicle
is parked uphill or reverse if it is facing
downhill) and leave the wheels turned.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is
also advisable to block the wheels with
a wedge or stone. Do not leave the key in
the ignition switch as this drains the bat-
tery. Always remove the key when you
leave the car.
Never leave children unat-
tended in the car. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving
the car and take it with you.
WARNING
fig. 1F0M0115m

release button A;
❒hold button Adown and lower the
lever. The xwarning light on the in-
strument panel will go out.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out
this operation to prevent the car from
moving accidentally.

SERVICE
AND CARE
The fabric upholstery of your
car is designed to withstand
normal wear and tear for
a long time. Some precautions
are however needed. Avoid prolonged
rubbing against clothing accessories,
such as metal buckles, bosses, Velcro
strips and the like, which by applying
a high pressure on the fabric in a small
area could cause the breakage of some
threads and damage the upholstery. SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacu-
um cleaner. It is advisable to use a damp
brush on velvet upholstery.
Wipe the seats with a sponge soaked in
a solution of mild detergent and water.
Never use flammable prod-
ucts, such as petroleum
ether or modified petrol, to clean the
inside the car. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rub-
bing during cleaning may cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the vehicle: these could ex-
plode. Aerosol cans must not be ex-
posed to temperatures exceeding
50 °C. When the vehicle is exposed to
sunlight, the temperature inside can
greatly exceed this value.
WARNING
INTERIOR
Check regularly that water is not trapped
under the mats (due to drops from shoes,
umbrellas, etc.), as this could cause the
sheet metal to rust.IMPORTANT Never use alcohol- or
petrol-based products to clean the in-
strument panel.
GENUINE LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR LEVER KNOB
These components must be cleaned with
mild soap and water only.
Never use spirits and/or alcohol-based
products.
Before using off-the-shelf products de-
signed for cleaning vehicle interiors, make
sure that they do not contain spirits and/
or alcohol-based substances.
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 When arranging a steering
wheel locking device, be careful not to dam-
age the leather upholstery.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior plastic parts
with a damp cloth and a solution of water
and mild, non-abrasive detergent. To re-
move grease and tough stains, use products
designed specifically for cleaning plastics.
These have no solvents and have been de-
signed so that they do not alter the ap-
pearance and colour of the components.
