GROUP 2
Starting from 15 kg to 25 kg in weight, chil-
dren may be restrained directly by the car
belts fig. 10. The only function of the seat
is to position the child correctly in rela-
tion to the belts, so that the diagonal part
adheres to the chest and not to the neck
and that the horizontal part fits over the
child’s hips and not the abdomen.
The diagram is only an indi-
cation. For assembly, refer to
the instructions supplied with the
child seat.
WARNING
Some child restraint systems
for weight groups 0 and 1
have a rear attachment and seat belts
for securing the child. Due to their
weight, they may be dangerous if in-
correctly mounted (e.g. if fastened to
the car seat belts with a cushion in
between). Follow the assembly in-
structions carefully.
WARNING
GROUP 3
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg,
there are boosters allowing the seatbelt
to fit correctly.
Fig. 11shows proper child seat posi-
tioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear
seat belts like adults.fig. 11

Do not place a child seat
facing backwards on the
front seat if the passenger side airbag
is enabled. Deployment of the airbag
in an accident could cause fatal in-
juries to the baby regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable
to always carry children in a child seat
on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a
collision.
WARNING
“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX”
CHILD RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUPThe car is provisioned for a Universal
Isofix child restraint, a new European stan-
dardised system for carrying children safe-
ly. An example of such a seat is shown in
fig. 12. The Universal Isofix child seat cov-
ers weight group 1.
Due to its different attachment system,
the Universal Isofix child seat must be an-
chored to the special low metal rings A-
fig. 13, located between the backrest and
rear cushion. The upper belt (provided
with the child seat) must be then secured
to ring B-fig. 14located on the back of
the backrest at child seat level. It is pos-
sible to have a mixed assembly of the tra-
ditional child seats and the Universal Isofix
ones.
Remember that, in the case of Universal
Isofix child seats, you can use all those
seats bearing the marking ECE R44/03
Universal Isofix.

The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child seat
and the special “G 0/1” seat are available
from Lineaccessori Fiat.
For any further details on installation/use,
refer to the instruction manual for the
child seat.

IMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-
tact a Fiat Dealership to have the hand-
brake adjusted.
When the handbrake is on and the igni-
tion key is at MAR, the instrument panel
warning light

moving accidentally.
PARKING THE VEHICLEProceed as follows:❒
stop the engine and engage the hand-
brake;
❒
engage a gear (first gear if the vehicle
is parked uphill or reverse if it is facing
downhill) and leave the wheels turned.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is
also advisable to block the wheels with
a wedge or stone. Do not leave the key in
the ignition switch as this drains the bat-
tery. Always remove the key when you
leave the car.
Never leave children unat-
tended in the car. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving
the car and take it with you.

HANDBRAKE fig. 1
The handbrake is located between the
two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to operate the
handbrake. Four or five notches are nor-
mally sufficient to secure the car on flat
terrain, while nine or ten may be neces-
sary on a steep slope with the car loaded.
USING THE MANUAL
GEARBOXTo engage the gears, press the clutch ped-
al down fully and shift the gear lever into
one of the required positions (a diagram
is shown on the knob fig. 2).
IMPORTANT Reverse may be engaged
only when the car is at a standstill. With
the engine running, wait for at least 2 sec-
onds with the clutch pedal fully depressed
before engaging reverse to prevent dam-
age to the gears and grating.
To engage reverse Rfrom neutral, lift ring
Aunder the knob and at the same time
move the gearshift lever to the right and
then backwards fig. 2.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should be
used only to change gear. Do not drive

al, however slightly. For versions/markets,
where provided, the electronic clutch
control can intervene if it interprets the
incorrect driving style as a fault.

AND DRIVING
Remember that, when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking dis-
tances increase and overtaking takes
longer relative to the overall weight of the
trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the car’s tow
hook will reduce the load capacity of the
car by the same amount. Consider the
weight of the trailer fully laden, including
accessories and luggage, to make sure you
do not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown on the vehicle registration
document).
Respect each country’s specific speed lim-
its for vehicles towing trailers. The top
speed must not exceed 100 km/h at any
time.
You should fit a suitable stabiliser to the
trailer.
The ABS with which the car
may be equipped will not
control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is therefore
required on slippery roads.
WARNING
Never modify the braking
system of the car to control
the trailer brake. The trailer braking
system must be fully independent
from the hydraulic system of the car.
WARNING
INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to
the body by specialised personnel in ac-
cordance with any additional information
supplied by the manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current reg-
ulations with reference to Directive
94/20/EC and subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must be right for the towable weight of
the car on which it is to be installed.
For the electric connection a unified con-
nector should be used, which is generally
placed on a special bracket fastened to the
towing device, and a special ECU should
be installed on the car to control the trail-
er’s exterior lights.
Seven- or 13-pin 12VDC connections
should be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow any instructions pro-
vided by the car manufacturer and/or the
towing device manufacturer.An electric brake or winch should be pow-
ered directly by the battery through a ca-
ble with a cross-section of no less than
2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The engine must be running
to use the electric brake or winch.
In addition to the electrical appliances, the
car’s electrical system may be connected
only to the supply cable for an electric
brake and the cable for a light inside the
trailer with a wattage of no more than
15 W.
For connections, use the preset control
unit with a battery cable no less than
2.5 mm2.

CHANGING A BULB GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS❒
When a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing the bulb. For the location of
fuses, refer to the “Changing a fuse”
paragraph in this section;
❒
before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for rusting;
❒
burnt bulbs must be replaced by others
of the same type and wattage;
❒
for safety reasons, always check the di-
rection of the headlight beam after
changing a bulb.
IMPORTANT The internal surface of the
light may appear slightly misty: this does
not indicate a fault, and is actually caused
by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly dis-
appear when the headlights are switched
on. The presence of drops inside the head-
lights indicates infiltration of water. Go to
a Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
car:
AGlass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull
to remove.BBayonet-type bulbs: to remove from
its holder, press the bulb in and turn
it anti-clockwise.
CTubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
D-EHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place. Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled holding the metallic part
only. Touching the transpar-
ent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
light emitted and even compromise the
longevity of the bulb itself. In the event
of accidental contact, wipe the bulb
with an alcohol-soaked cloth and leave
to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (ECUs)
that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system’s technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which may cause
small fragments of glass to be pro-
jected outwards if the bulb is broken.
