CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELYFor optimal protection in the event of a collision, all pas-
sengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint
systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries ac-
cording to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with adults, a child’s head is proportionally larg-
er and heavier than the rest of the body, while muscles and
bone structure are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems are necessary other
than adult seat belts.
The results of research on the best child restraint system
are contained in the European Standard ECE-R44, which
enforces the use of restraint systems classified into five
groups:
Group 0 0 – 10 kg in weight
Group 0+ 0 – 13 kg in weight
Group 1 9 – 18 kg in weight
Group 2 15 – 25 kg in weight
Group 3 22 – 36 kg in weight
SERIOUS DANGER: never place cradle
child’s seats facing backwards on the front
passenger’s seat of cars fitted with pas-
senger’s air bag. Deployment of the airbag
in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the baby. It is advisable to carry children always
on the rear seat which is the most protected po-
sition in the event of an accident. Never fit child
seats systems on the front seat if the car is pro-
vided with passenger’s air bag: as the airbag could
cause even fatal injury independently from the
severity of the collision which caused its deploy-
ment. If necessary, children can stay on the front
seat, only if the passenger’s airbag can be disabled.
It is absolutely necessary to check the warning
light
F
on the dashboard to make sure that the
deactivation has actually taken place (see “Pas-
senger’s front air bag”, paragraph “Front air
bags”). Move the passenger’s seat as far back as
possible to avoid contact between the child seat
and the dashboard.
WARNING
All child restraint devices must bear the certification da-
ta, together with the control brand, on a solidly fixed la-
bel which must absolutely never be removed.

GROUP 1
From 9 to 18 kg of weight, children may be carried facing
forward, as shown in fig. 107. 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 child restraint systems for each
weight group. These devices are recommended having
been specifically designed for Fiat cars.
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 decelerations.
The cradle is restrained by the car seat belts, as shown in
fig. 106 and in turn it must restrain the child with its own
belts.
The figures are only examples for fasten-
ing purposes. Refer to the instructions sup-
plied with the child restraint for the fastening.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTSSome useful tips are given below for fuel saving and re-
ducing harmful emissions of CO
2and other pollutants
(nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate
Matter (PM) etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in accordance
with the “Scheduled servicing plan.”
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval
of no more than 4 weeks: if the pressure is too low, con-
sumption levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight of
the car (especially when driving in town) and its trim great-
ly affects consumption and stability.
Accessories installed on longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski racks, luggage con-
tainer, etc. from the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air penetration and ad-
versely affect consumption levels. When needing to
carry particularly voluminous objects, preferably use
a trailer.
To change gears properly you must push
the clutch pedal fully down. For this rea-
son, there must be no obstacles on the floor un-
der the pedals: ensure that rubber mats (if any)
are lying flat and do not interfere with the pedals.
WARNING
Do not drive with your hand resting on the
shifting lever, because this pressure, even
if light, over time can wear out the gearbox
internal components.

TOWING TRAILERSIMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the car must be fitted with
a certified tow hook and an adequate electric system. In-
stallation should be carried out by specialised personnel
who will issue the required papers for travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional rear view mirrors as
specified by the Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills are hard-
er to climb, braking spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than con-
stantly using the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the car tow hook reduces
by the same amount the actual car loading capacity. To
make sure the maximum towable weight is not exceeded
(given in the car registration document) account should
be taken of the fully laden trailer, including accessories and
luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits specific for each country
you are driving in, in case of vehicles towing trailers. In any
case, the top speed must not exceed 100 km/h. Traffic and road conditions
Rather high consumption levers are tied to situations with
heavy traffic, for instance when travelling in queues with
frequent use of the lower gears or in cities with many traf-
fic lights. Also winding mountain roads and rough road sur-
faces adversely affect consumption.
Traffic hold-ups
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level crossings) the engine
should be switched off.

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to the body by spe-
cialised personnel according to any additional and/or in-
tegrative information supplied by the Manufacturer of the
device.
The towing device must meet current regulations with
reference to 94/20/EEC Directive and subsequent amend-
ments.
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 standard connector should
be used which is generally placed on a special bracket nor-
mally fastened to the towing device, and a special ECU for
external trailer light control must be installed on the car.
For the electric connection, a 7 pin 12V DC connection
is to be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Fol-
low the instructions provided by the car manufacturer
and/or the tow hook manufacturer.
An electric brake (or electric winch) should be supplied
directly by the battery through a cable with a cross sec-
tion of no less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other devices shall be used
with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the car electric sys-
tem can only be connected to the supply cable for an elec-
tric brake and to the cable for an internal light for the trail-
er, not exceeding 15 W.
For connections use the preset control unit with battery
cable not less than 2.5 mm2.
The ABS system with which the vehicle
may be equipped does not control the
braking system of the trailer. Take specific care
when travelling on slippery roads.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should the car
braking system be modified to control the
trailer brake. The trailer braking system must be
fully independent of the car’s hydraulic system.

Please note that:❒
the jack weights 1.76 kg;
❒
the jack requires no adjustment;
❒
the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks it must be re-
placed with a new jack;
❒
no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted on
the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒
stop the car in a position so that it is not a danger for
on-coming traffic and where you can replace the wheel
safely. The ground must be flat and compact;
❒
turn the engine off and pull up the handbrake.
❒
engage the first gear or reverse;
❒
lift the boot mat A-fig. 121;
Fasten the wheel cup correctly to prevent
the wheel from coming free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never in-
troduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre.
Regularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pres-
sure, complying with the data in the chapter
“Technical specifications”.
WARNING
The jack shall only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provid-
ed or on cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. In no case should it be used for repairs un-
der the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may
cause the jacked car to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than those shown on the label.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver
wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and
chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted
to the front of the car and the space-saver wheel
should be fitted to the rear. This way with two
standard drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted
to them to solve an emergency.
