Lift lever A-fig. 113(right and left) and
reposition the seat back in straight posi-
tion.
Take out buckles from their housing to
have them ready for use.ANCHORING THE LOAD
The boot houses 4 hooks (where provid-
ed) fig. 114to which ropes can be at-
tached which ensure that the load is prop-
erly secured.
IMPORTANT Never anchor to single
hooks a load exceeding 100 kg.
fig. 113F0C0336m
fig. 114F0C0034m
A heavy load that has not
been secured may cause se-
rious harm.
WARNING
If you want to carry reserve
fuel in a can, follow law reg-
ulations, only using a certified can,
suitably fastened to the load securing
eyelets. Even in this way the risk of
fire is increased in the case of an ac-
cident.

HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
Proper adjustment of the headlight beams
is of vital importance for your safety and
comfort and also for the other road users.
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.
IMPORTANT When turning on gas dis-
charge headlight lamps (where provided),
it is normal that there should be a vertical
movement of lenses, and consequently the
same will also happen to the light beam,
for the time required to achieve the cor-
rect headlight trim stabilisation, equal to
approx. 2 seconds.HEADLIGHT AIMING DEVICE
This device can be operated with the ig-
nition key at MARand dipped beams on.
When the car is loaded, it slopes back-
wards. This means that the headlight beam
rises. In this case, it is necessary to return
it to the correct position.
To adjust the headlight slant
Press button A-fig. 122located on the
mask aside the steering wheel column; if
the car is fitted with gas discharge head-
lights (xenon), slant adjustment is elec-
tronic and therefore button Ais not pre-
sent.Press button Aat arrow
Nthis will in-
crease by one position, press the arrow
Oon the button, this will lower by one
position.
The display B-fig. 122located on the in-
strument panel, provides the visual indi-
cation of the positions during the adjust-
ment operation.
Correct positions as a function
of the load
Position 0- one or two passengers on
front seats.
Position 1- five passengers.
Position 2- five passengers + load in the
boot.
Position 3- driver + maximum admitted
load in the boot.
IMPORTANT Check beam aiming every
time the load carried changes.

For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒move the rear sliding seat fully back-
wards with the seat back at 4thposition,
as shown in fig. 16;
❒check whether the release lever B-
fig. 17is at rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets A, then po-
sition the child restraint system with
the fastening devices Caligned with the
brackets;
❒push the child restraint system until
hearing locking clicks;
❒for seats positioned facing the running
direction, hook the upper belt D-
fig. 18(in the upper seat pocket) to the
ring E in the boot;
❒Check proper locking by moving the
child’s seat with force: the built-in safe-
ty mechanism actually inhibits improp-
er coupling with only one coupling
locked.
With this configuration, the child is se-
cured also by the car seat belts and by the
upper belts. To apply car seat belts to
child’s seat refer to the child’s seat hand-
book.

PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE
“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX”
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
This car is preset for mounting the “Uni-
versal Isofix” child restraint system, a new
European standardised system for carry-
ing children safely.
The “Universal Isofix” child’s seat covers
weight group: 1.
Due to its different anchoring system, the
Universal Isofix child’s seat shall be an-
chored to the proper lower metal rings
A-fig. 19, set between rear seat back and
cushion. The upper belt D-fig. 20(pro-
vided with the child’s seat) shall be then
secured to ring Eset in the boot at child’s
seat height.
It is possible to mount at the same time
both the traditional restraint system and
the “Universal Isofix” one.Remember that in case of Universal Isofix
child’s seat, you can only use all those
seats approved with the marking ECE
R44/03 “Universal Isofix”.
At Lineaccessori Fiat is available the “Uni-
versal Isofix” “Duo Plus” child’s seat.
For any further installation/use detail, re-
fer to the “Instructions Manual” that must
be provided by the child restraint system
Manufacturer.
fig. 19F0C0274mfig. 20F0C0428m
Mount the child restraint
system only with the car sta-
tionary. The child restraint system is
properly anchored to the mounting
brackets when clicks are heard. In any
case, keep to the installation instruc-
tions that must be provided by the
child restraint system Manufacturer.

SERIOUS DANGER: In pres-
ence of small size occupants
(children, etc.) on the rear
seats, it is necessary to deac-
tivate the rear side bags
through the apposite deactivation
switch located in the boot.
WARNINGMANUAL DEACTIVATION
OF REAR SIDE BAGS

Certain versions are fitted with rear side
bags (that can be deactivated) to protect
the chest of rear passengers.
For deactivation: operate the key switch

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Here are some suggestions which may
help you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of toxic
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from
the roof as soon as they are no longer
used. These accessories lower air pene-
tration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When needing to carry particular-
ly voluminous objects, preferably use a
trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.
