Only the rear seat head restraints can be removed.
To remove the head restraints:
1 - lift to the first notch
2 - press the two buttons (A) and (B) and remove the head restraints.
The special head restraint configuration interferes intentionally with the
rear passenger back correct positioning in order to oblige the passenger
to raise the head restraint for its proper use.

your neck. Only if they are in this position will they be able to provide effective
protection in the event of a rear-end shunt.WARNING

ANCHORING THE LOAD
There are special rings in the boot to anchor cords to firmly hold in place
the load being transported.
IMPORTANT When travelling at night with a load in the boot, the height
of the dipped beams should be adjusted (see “Headlights” in this section).
To ensure the regulator works properly, make sure that the load does
not exceed the values given.
WARNINGHeavy loads not securely anchored could seriously injure passengers in the event of
an accident.

WARNINGIf you are travelling in areas where refuelling can be difficult and you want to carry
a can of petrol, attain to the law in force. Use a homologated can only and secure
it to the load anchoring hooks. Even given these precautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.

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

All restraint devices must bear the certification data,
together with the control brand, on a solidly fixed
label which must absolutely never be removed.Over 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 recommended choice, as they have been
designed and experimented specifically for Fiat cars.
WARNINGWith passenger’s air bag active, 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.
WARNINGSERIOUS 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 air bags (front and side on the seat, where provided) using the key
switch and then check warning light
Fon the cluster to make sure that
deactivation has actually took place (see paragraph “ Manual deactivation of
passenger's front air bag”).
The front passenger's seat shall be adjusted in the most backward position to
prevent any contact between child's seat and dashboard.

SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in compliance with local
regulations.
Snow chains should only be applied to the driving
wheels (front wheels).
Check the tension of the chains after the first few
metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is
punctured and chains are needed, a rear wheel should
be fitted to the front of the vehicle and the spare
wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two
normal drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted to
them to solve an emergency.Tyres on which chains can be fitted:
– 185/65 R 15 88H
– 195/60 R 15 88H
Use slow profile snow chains with maximum height off
the tyre of 10 mm.
Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not exceed 50 Km/h. Avoid potholes, steps
and pavements and avoid also to drive for long distances on roads not covered with snow to
prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
