CHILD PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
CARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY
91) 92) 93) 94)For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint
systems, including newborn and other
children! This prescription is
compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of 1.50
metres and up to 12 years must be
protected with suitable restraint
systems and be seated on the rear
seats.
Statistics on accidents indicate that the
rear seats offer greater safety for
children.
Compared with an adult, a child's head
is larger and heavier in proportion to
their body and the child's muscular and
bone structures are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems
other than adult seat belts are
necessary to reduce as much as
possible the risk of injuries in the event
of an accident, braking or sudden
manoeuvre.Children must be seated safely and
comfortably. Depending on the
characteristics of the child restraint
systems used, you are advised to keep
children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as
possible (at least until 3–4 years old),
since this is the most protected position
in the event of an impact.
The choice of the most suitable child
restraint system depends on the weight
and size of the child. There are various
types of child restraint systems, which
can be secured to the vehicle by means
of the seat belts or with the ISOFIX
anchorages.
It is recommended to always choose
the restraint system most suitable
for the child; for this reason always refer
to the Owner Handbook provided with
the child restraint system, to be sure
that it is of the right type for the children
it is intended for.
In Europe the characteristics of child
restraint systems are ruled by the
regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group Weight range
Group0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9 - 18 kg
Group 2 15 - 25 kg
Group 3 22 - 36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori MOPAR
®includes child
restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are
recommended having been specifically
designed for Fiat vehicles.
FITTING A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
WITH SEAT BELTS
95) 96) 97)The Universal child restraint systems
installed with the seat belts only are
type-approved on the basis of the ECE
R44 standard and are divided into
various weight groups.
IMPORTANT The figures are indicative
and provided for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which
must be included.

SAFETY
Page 79 of 204
IMPORTANT Following an accident of a
certain importance, it is recommended
to replace both the child restraint
system and the seat belt to which it
was bound.
Group 0 and 0+
Infants up to 13 kg must be carried with
a rearward facing child restraint system
of the type shown in fig. 63 which,
supporting the head, does not induce
stress on the neck in the event of
sudden decelerations.
The child restraint system is restrained
by the vehicle seat belts, as shown
in fig. 63 and it must restrain the child in
turn with its own belts.
Group 1
Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may
be carried in forward facing position
fig. 64Group 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the
vehicle seat belts directly fig. 65.
In this case, the child restraint system is
used to position the child correctly
with respect to the seat belts so that
the diagonal belt section crosses the
child’s chest and not the neck, and the
lower part is snug on the pelvis not
the abdomen.Group 3
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg,
there are boosters which allow the
seat belt to be worn correctly.
The fig. 66 shows the correct child
positioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear
seat belts like adults.

FITTING AN ISOFIX
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
98) 99) 100) 101)The vehicle is equipped with ISOFIX
anchorages, a new standard which
makes fitting a child restraint system
quick, simple and safe.
The ISOFIX system allows the ISOFIX
child restraint systems to be fitted,
without using the vehicle's seat belt,
but directly securing the child restraint
system to three anchorages present on
the vehicle. Traditional child restraint
systems can be fitted alongside ISOFIX
child restraint systems on different
seats in the same vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach it to the two metal
anchorages A fig. 67 located where the
rear seat cushion meets the backrest,
then fix the upper strap (available
together with the restraint system) to
the dedicated anchorage B fig. 68
located at the bottom behind the
backrest.
For versions with sliding split rear seat,
use the suitable catches shown in
fig. 69 on the tube at the base of the
backrest.
fig. 70 shows an example of a Universal
ISOFIX child restraint system for weight
group 1.IMPORTANT The fig. 70 is indicative
and for assembly purposes only. Fit the
child restraint system according to
the instructions, which must be
included.
IMPORTANT Following an accident of a
certain importance, it is recommended
to replace both the child restraint
system and the Isofix anchoring
devices.

TOWING TRAILERS
128) 129)
IMPORTANT
For towing motorhomes or trailers the
vehicle must be fitted with an approved
tow hook and an adequate electrical
system. Installation must be carried out
by a specialist.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
distances increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight of the trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the
vehicle tow hook reduces the vehicle's
loading capacity by the same amount.
To make sure that the maximum
towable weight is not exceeded (given
in the vehicle registration document)
account should be taken of the fully
laden trailer, including accessories and
luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in
the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In any case, the top speed must not
exceed 100 km/h.An electric brake (or electric winch)
should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a cross
section of no less than 2.5 mm2.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the vehicle electrical system can only
be connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light for the trailer, not
exceeding 15 W. For connections, use
the preset control unit with a battery
cable with section not less than 2.5
mm2.
On Panda Cross and Panda 4x4
versions, in the event of prolonged
vehicle use at maximum tow capacity
on slopes, replacing engine oil more
frequently (every 10,000 km) is
advisable.
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (electric brake,
winch, etc.) must be used with engine
running.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
128)The ABS with which the vehicle is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
129)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake.
The trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic
system.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
130) 131) 132)Always stop the engine before
refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) no lower than
95. Never introduce even the smallest
amount of leaded petrol, even in the
event of an emergency, in order to
prevent damage to the catalytic
converter.
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles (EN
590 specification).
When using or parking the car for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.

WARNING
136)If the replaced fuse blows again,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
137)Never replace a blown fuse with metal
wires or other material.
138)Never replace a fuse with another with
a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE.
139)If a general fuse (MEGA-FUSE,
MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) cuts in, do not
attempt any repair and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
140)Before replacing a fuse, make sure
that the ignition key has been removed and
that all the other devices are switched off
and/or deactivated.
141)If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (airbag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering system
blows, contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
50)If you need to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly hit
