HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT BEAM
IMPORTANT Proper adjustment of the headlight beams is of vital
importance for your safety and comfort and also for the other road
users. This is also covered by a specific law. To ensure you and other
drivers have the best visibility conditions when travelling with the
headlights on, the headlights must be set properly.
Contact Fiat Dealership to have the headlights properly adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT SLANT
When the car is loaded, it slopes backwards. This means that the
headlight beam rises. In this case, it is necessary to return it to the
correct position.
An electric adjuster (A) is fitted on the instrument panel.
Correct positions as a function of the load
Position 0 - up to three people on the front seats.
Position 1 - up to six people.
Position 2 - six people + max 130 kg load in the boot.
Position 3 - driver + load stowed in the boot up to a maximum of 300 kg.
Only for 4 or 5 seat VAN versions, the max. permissible load is
350 kg.
IMPORTANT To ensure the regulator works properly, make sure the
load in the boot does not exceed the maximum values given in paragraph
“Weights” in section “Technical Specifications”.

SEAT BELTS
Fiat Multipla has a three-point seat belt on the centre seats too (front
and rear).
A special belt retainer (A), set on front passenger’s door post, allows to
lock the seat belt when the passenger is not wearing it.
Fit the belt into the retainer through its proper open side (B).
Fit the seat belt into the retainer when there are no passengers to
prevent maddening noises when driving.

WARNINGAlways release the seat belt from the retainer before wearing it.

HOW TO USE THE SEAT BELTS
(for front seats)
The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and rested against the
seat back.
To fasten the three belts, take the latching tongue (A) and clip it into the
buckle (B), until you hear it click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button (C). Guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the
passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement. When the car is
parked on a steep slope the reel mechanism may block; this is normal.
The reel mechanism prevents the webbing coming out when it is jerked
or if the car brakes sharply, in a collision or when cornering at high
speeds.

WARNINGNever press button (C) when travelling.

seat (B). Make sure both buckles are well fastened.
When removing the side seats, wind up the belts and fasten the buckles
to the pins on the right and left sides of the car.

Centre seat belt
The belt has a double buckle. Slowly unwind the belt from its reel (A),
take the tongue (D) and insert it in slot (E), then place tongue (B) in slot
(C); make sure both buckles lock properly.
When there is no-one in the centre seat fold both belt sections and place
the buckles in the receptacle (A), inside the locking slots.
When refitting the seats take care not to reverse their positions: the
centre seat is easily distinguished by the table on the seat back.

Remember that in the event of a violent collision, back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts also represent a serious danger for the front seat
passengers.WARNING

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the front seat belts, Fiat Multipla is fitted
with pretensioners on all the three front seats.
Do not place objects under the centre seat as this could damage the
pretensioner system. These devices “feel” through a sensor, that a
violent crash is in progress and rewind the seat belts a few centimetres.
In this way they ensure that the seat belt adheres perfectly to the wearer
before the restraining action begins. The seat belt locks to indicate that
the device has intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up even
when guiding it manually.
WARNINGThe pretensioner can only be used once. After a collision that has triggered it, have
it replaced at a Fiat Dealership. Pretensioner validity is indicated on the label in
the lower oddment compartment: the pretensioners should be replaced at a Fiat
Dealership as this date approaches.
Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C for a maximum of 6
hours) in the area around the pretensioners may cause damage or trigger them. These devices are
not affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs,
etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.

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.

GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards on a cradle seat,
which, supporting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the
event of sharp deceleration.
The cradle is restrained by the car seat belts, as shown in the figure and
in turn it must restrain the child with its own belts.
GROUP 1
Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, children may be carried facing
forwards, with seats fitted with front cushion, through which the car seat
belt restrains both child and seat.

WARNINGThe figure is indicative for assembly only. The seat should be installed following
the instructions that must accompany it.
WARNINGSeats exist which are suitable for covering weight groups 0 and 1 with a rear
connection to the vehicle belts and their own belts to restrain the child. Due to
their size, they can be dangerous if installed incorrectly fastened to the car belts
with a cushion. Carefully follow the instructions for installation provided with the
seat.
