INSTALLATION OF ELECTRIC/
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electric/electronic devices installed after buying the car
or in aftermarket shall bear the and marking:
Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation of
transceivers provided that installation is carried out at
a specialized shop, workmanlike performed and in
compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Installation of devices resulting in
modifications of car characteristics may cause driving
license seizing by traffic agents and also the lapse of
the warranty as concerns defects due to the
abovementioned modification or traceable back to it
directly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility for damages
caused by the installation of non-genuine accessories
or not recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installed
not in compliance with the specified requirements.RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND CELLULAR
TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs mobile phones,
HAM radio systems and the like) shall not be used inside
the car unless a separate aerial is mounted on the roof.
IMPORTANT The use of similar devices inside the
passenger compartment (without separated aerial)
produces radio-frequency electromagnetic fields
which, amplified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause electrical systems
equipping the car to malfunction. This could
compromise safety in addition to constituting a
potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of these devices
may be affected by the shielding effect of the car body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile phones (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply with the instructions for
use provided by the mobile phone’s manufacturer.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install electrical
accessories that require a permanent electric supply
(alarm, satellite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories
that in any case burden the electric supply, contact Fiat
Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides
suggesting the most suitable devices belonging to
Lineaccessori Fiat, will also evaluate the overall electric
absorption, checking whether the car’s electric system
is able to withstand the load required, or whether it
needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Apply to Fiat Dealership only to have the cellular phone installed and to connect it to car
presetting.

SEAT BELT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Always adjust the height of the seat belt to fit the person wearing it. This
precaution could greatly reduce the risk of injury in case of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when the belt passes half way between
the end of the shoulder and the neck.
The seat belt can be adjusted to one of 4 different positions.
To raise the belt
Lift ring (A) to the required position.
To lower
Press knob (B), at the same time moving ring (A) down to the required
position.
Then check that the seat belt is locked by pushing down ring (A) without
pressing knob (B).
WARNINGMake the height adjustment when the car is stationary.
After adjustment, always check that the slider is anchored in one of the positions
provided. To do this, with the button released, exert a further pressure to allow the
anchor device to catch if release did not take place at one of the preset positions.WARNING

PRESETTING FOR MOUNTING THE
“ISOFIX TYPE” CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Fiat Multipla is created preset for mounting the Isofix type child restraint
system, a new European standardised system for mounting child
restraints. Isofix type child restraint system is an additional option that
does not prevent from using traditional child restraint systems.
Isofix type child restraint system covers three groups: 0, 0+ and 1.
Due to its different anchoring system, the Isofix type child’s seat shall be
anchored just using the proper metal brackets set between rear seat back
and cushion, which can be identified by the slots (A).
It is possible to mount both the traditional restraint system and the Isofix
type one. Max. two Isofix type child’s seats can be installed on the rear
seat using the proper couplings. On the front passenger’s seat only
traditional child’s seats can be mounted.
Only adopt Isofix type child’s seats designed, tested and approved for Fiat
Multipla.
F0E0217m
WARNINGMount the child restraint system only with the car stationary. The Isofix type child
restraint system is properly anchored to the mounting brackets when clicks are
heard. In any case, keep to the installation instructions that must be provided by
the child restraint system’s Manufacturer.

FITTING THE ISOFIX TYPE CHILD’S SEAT
Groups 0 and 0+
For children of the 0, 0+ weight group (babies up to 13 kg), the child’s
seat is facing backwards and the child is restrained by the child’s seat
belts (D).
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒move the seat where you want to install the child’s seat completely
forward and set the front seat with the back in touch with the child’s
seat profile;
❒check whether the release lever (B) is at rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets (A), then position the child restraint
system with the fastening devices (C) aligned with the brackets;
❒push the child restraint system until hearing locking clicks;
❒check proper locking by moving the child’s seat with force: the built-in
safety mechanism actually inhibits improper coupling with only one
coupling locked.

Group 1
As the child grows, passing to weight group 1 (9-18 kg), refit the child’s
seat facing forwards following the installation instructions.
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒move the seat where you want to install the child’s seat completely
backwards;
❒check whether the release lever (B) is at rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets (A), then position the child restraint
system with the fastening devices (C) aligned with the brackets;
❒push the child restraint system until hearing locking clicks;
❒check proper locking by moving the child’s seat with force: the built-in
safety mechanism actually inhibits improper coupling with only one
coupling locked.
With this configuration, the child is secured also by the car seat belts and
by the upper belts. To apply car seat belts to child’s seat refer to the
child’s seat handbook.
Adjust the front seat position moving it to half forward position.

The towing device must meet current regulations with
reference to 94/20/EC Directive and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used must match
the towable weight of the car on which it is to be
installed.
For the electric connection a unified connector should
be used which is generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device, and a special
ECU for external trailer light control shall be installed
on the car.
When fitting the trailer, parking sensors are
deactivated.For the electrical connection, a 7 pin 12VDC
connection is to be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow the instructions provided by the car
manufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.
An electric brake should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a cross section of no less
than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other device shall be
used with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the car’s electric
system can only be connected to the supply cable for
an electric brake and to the cable for an internal light,
though not above 15W.
For connections, use the preset control unit with
battery cable no less than 2.5 mm
2.
The two hitches are shown on the following pages.
