SEAT BELTSUSING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1
The seat belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the seat
back.
To fasten the seat belt, hold the tongueAand insert it into the buckle B
B, until it
clicks into place.
If the seat belt jams during removal, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belt, press button C
C.
Guide the seat belt while it is rewinding,
to prevent it from twisting.
Through the retractor, the seat belt au-
tomatically adapts to the body of the oc-
cupant wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.
The retractor may lock when the car is
parked on a steep slope: this is normal.
Furthermore, the retractor mechanism
locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in
the event of sudden braking, impacts or
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three fixing points and a re-
tractor.

WARNING
USING THE FRONT
SEAT BELTS
With front airbags: driver and passenger
(for versions/markets, where provided).
The front seats are equipped with py-
rotechnic pretensioners and load limiters.
See paragraphs - pretensioners and load
limiters;
If the vehicle is equipped with a 2-seat
front bench, and the passenger front
airbag is not available, the seat belt of the
central passenger is not equipped with the
pyrotechnic pretensioner; the height of
the seat belt associated with the centre
seat cannot be adjusted.
The front seat belts are height-adjustable,
in order to adapt to the body of the oc-
cupants. This precaution may considerably
reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
impact. Correct adjustment is obtained
when the belt passes approximately half
way between the shoulder and the neck.
To carry out the adjustment, press gripAand raise or lower the cursor.

For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated and
wearing adequate restraint systems, in-
cluding infants and other children. This pre-
scription is compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with an adult, a child’s head is
larger and heavier in proportion to his/her
body and the child’s muscular and bone
structures are not fully developed. There-
fore, correct restraint systems other than
adult seat belts are necessary to reduce as
much as possible the risk of injuries in case
of accident, braking or sudden manoeu-
vre.
Children must be seated safely and com-
fortably. As far as the characteristics of the
child restraint systems used, you are ad-
vised to keep children in rearward facing
restraint systems for as long as possible;
this is the most protected position in the
event of an impact.
The choice of the most suitable child re-
straint system depends on the weight of
the child; there are various types of child
restraint systems and you are advised al-
ways to choose the one that is most suit-
able for the child. When over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems, children
are considered as adults and wear seat
belts normally.
In Europe the characteristics of child re-
straint systems are ruled by regulation
ECE-R44, making them compulsory and
dividing them into five weight groups:
Group 0 up to 10 kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
All child restraint systems must bear the
type-approval data along with the control
mark on a label firmly secured to the child
restraint system which must never be re-
moved. Lineaccessori Fiat offers child re-
straint systems for each weight group.
These devices are recommended having
been specifically designed and tested for
Fiat cars.CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
A label with the dedicated
symbol indicating that it is
mandatory to deactivate the airbag
for rearward facing child restraint sys-
tems is applied on the sun visor. Al-
ways comply with the instructions on
the sun visor (see the “Airbag” section
in this paragraph).

MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS TO CARRY CHILDREN SAFELY:
1) The recommended position for installing child restraint systems, is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected area in the event
of an impact.
2) If the passenger airbag is deactivated, always check that the amber warning light on the instrument panel switches on constantly
to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions provided with the child restraint system which are mandatory by law. Keep the instructions in
the vehicle along with the other documents and this handbook. Do not use second-hand child restraint systems without in-
structions.
4) Always check that the seat belts are well fastened with a traction test.
5) Only one child is to be secured into each restraint system; never carry two children using one child restraint system.
6) Always check that the seat belts do not interfere with the child’s throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
8) Never allow a child to put the seat belt’s diagonal section under an arm or behind their back.
9) Never carry children on your lap, not even newborns. No-one, regardless of his/her strength, can restrain a child in the event of
an accident.
10) In the event of an accident, replace the child restraint system with a new oneGROUP 2:

FRONT AIRBAGS


The front driver and passenger airbags
(for versions/markets where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in the
event of head-on impacts of medium-high
severity, by placing the bag between the
occupant and the steering wheel or dash-
board. Therefore non-deployment in
other types of impacts (side impacts, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not indicate
a system malfunction. Front driver and passenger airbags (for ver-
sions/markets where provided) are not a
replacement for, but are complementary
to, the seat belts, which you are recom-
mended to always wear, as specified by law
in Europe and most non-European coun-
tries.
An electronic control unit will inflate the
bag, when necessary, in the event of a
frontal impact. The bag will inflate instan-
taneously placing itself between the front
occupant’s body and the structures which
could cause injury. It will deflate immedi-
ately afterwards. The volume of front
airbags at max. inflation fills most of the
space between the steering wheel and the
driver and between the dashboard and the
passenger.
AIRBAGThe car is equipped with front airbags for
driver and passenger (for versions/markets,
where provided), seat-mounted side airbags
for driver’s and passenger pelvis-chest-
shoulder protection (for versions/ markets,
where provided), and window airbags for
protecting the heads of front and rear out-
er occupants (for versions/markets where
provided).
The location of the airbags on the car is
marked by the writing “AIRBAG” in the
middle of the steering wheel, on the dash-
board, on the side trim or on a label placed
next to the airbag deployment area.In the event of impact, those not wearing
a seat belt are projected forwards and may
come into contact with the bag which is still
inflating. The protection offered by the bag
is compromised in these circumstances.
Front airbags may not activate in the fol-
lowing situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformable
objects not involving the front surface of
the vehicle (e.g. wing collision against
guard rail, heaps of gravel, etc.);❒underride impacts with other vehicles;
Failure to activate in the conditions de-
scribed above is due to the fact that they
may not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their activa-
tion would be inappropriate. In these cas-
es, non-deployment of the airbag does not
necessarily indicate a system malfunction.

Always drive with your hands
on the rim of the steering
wheel so that the airbag can inflate
freely if required. Do not drive with
your body bent forward. Keep your
back straight against the backrest.
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dash-
board in the passenger airbag area,
on roof side trim. Never put objects
(e.g. mobile phones) on the passen-
ger side dashboard since they could
interfere with correct inflation of the
airbag and cause serious injury to the
passengers.

SEVERE DANGER:When an
active passenger airbag is
fitted, DO NOT install rear-
ward facing child restraints
on the front seat. Deploy-
ment of the airbag in an ac-
cident could cause fatal injuries to
the baby regardless of the severity of
the collision.Therefore, always re-
lease the passenger airbag when a
rearward facing child restraint is in-
stalled on the passenger front seat.
The front passenger seat must also
be positioned back as far as possible
in order to avoid the child restraint
from coming into contact with the
dashboard. Immediately reactivate
the passenger airbag as soon as the
child restraint system has been re-
moved.
