When the car is parked on a steep slope
the reel mechanism may block; this is nor-
mal. The reel mechanism prevents the
webbing coming out when it is jerked or
if the car brakes sharply, in a collision or
when cornering at high speed.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three anchor points and reel for
the side and centre seats.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the chest
straight and rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, take hold the
tongue A-fig. 1and insert it into the buck-
le B, until hearing the locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a
short stretch, then pull it out again with-
out jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C. Guide the seat belt with your hand
while it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically
adapts to the body of the passenger wear-
ing it, allowing freedom of movement.
Never press button C-fig. 1
when travelling.
WARNING
Rear seat belts shall be worn as shown in

When reclining the rear seat backs, to put
the seat buckles back properly, use the
suitable housings A-fig. 3obtained in the
cushion.
Take out buckles from their housings (ver-
sions with rear sliding seat) when reset-
ting the seat in straight position, to have
them ready for use.IMPORTANT When the seat back is cou-
pled properly, the “red band” B-fig. 4pre-
sent aside lever Adisappears. The “red
band” actually indicates improper seat
back coupling. As concerns versions fitted
with sliding seat, always check that the
back is locked in proper position; these
versions are fitted with reclining seat:
when resetting it in proper position, make
sure to hear the locking click.
IMPORTANT Remember that in the
event of a violent collision, back seat pas-
sengers not wearing seat belts also rep-
resent a serious danger for the front seat
passengers.
fig. 3F0C0433mfig. 4F0C0378m
Make sure the seat back is
correctly hooked on both
sides (“red bands” B-fig. 4 not visible)
to prevent seat back being thrown
forwards and injuring passengers
should you brake sharply.
WARNING
IMPORTANT After putting the seats back
to their travelling position, restore the
seat belt position to make them ready for
use.

SERIOUS DANGER: Never
place cradle child’s seats fac-
ing backwards on the front
passenger seat of cars fitted
with passenger’s air bag since
the air bag activation could cause se-
rious injuries, even mortal. You are
advised to carry children always on
the rear seat, as this is the most pro-
tected position in the case of a crash.
In any case, children’s seats must ab-
solutely not be fitted on the front seat
of cars with passenger’s air bag, which
during inflation could cause serious
injury, even mortal, regardless of the
seriousness of the crash that triggered
it. Children may be placed on the
front seat of cars fitted with passen-
ger’s air bag deactivation. In this case,
it is absolutely necessary to check the
warning light
Fon the instrument
panel, to make sure that deactivation
has actually taken place (see para-
graph “Front passenger air bag” at
paragraph “Front air bags”). The
front passenger seat shall be adjust-
ed in the most backward position to
prevent any contact between child’s
seat and dashboard.
WARNINGCARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of a
crash, all passengers must be seated and
wearing adequate restraint systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
Compared with adults, their head is pro-
portionally larger and heavier than the rest
of the body, while the muscles and bone
structure are not completely developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems are
necessary, other than adult seat belts.
The results of research on the best child
restraint systems are contained in the Eu-
ropean Standard EEC-R44. This Standard
enforces the use of restraint systems clas-
sified in 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 weightAs it may be noted, the groups overlap
partly and in fact, in commerce it is pos-
sible to find devices that cover more than
one weight group.
All restraint devices must bear the certi-
fication data, together with the control
brand, on a solidly fixed label which must
absolutely never be removed.
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 seats for each
weight group, which are the recommend-
ed choice, as they have been designed and
experimented specifically for Fiat cars.

GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing
backwards on a cradle seat, which, sup-
porting the head, does not induce stress
on the neck in the event of sharp decel-
eration.
The cradle is restrained by the car seat
belts, as shown in fig. 9and in turn it must
restrain the child with its own belts.
fig. 9F0C0429mfig. 10F0C0430m
The figure is only an exam-
ple for mounting. Attain to
the instructions for fastening which
must be enclosed with the specific
child restraining system you are using.
WARNING
Seats exist which are suit-
able for covering weight
groups 0 and 1 with a rear connection
to the car belts and their own belts to
restrain the child. Due to their size,
they can be dangerous if installed in-
correctly fastened to the car belts
with a cushion. Carefully follow the
instructions for installation provided
with the seat.
WARNING
GROUP 1
Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, chil-
dren may be carried facing forwards, with
seat fitted with front cushion, through
which the car seat belt restrains both child
and seat fig. 10.

Below is a summary of the rules of
safety to be followed for carrying
children:
❒The recommended position for in-
stalling children’s seat is on the rear
seat, as it is the most protected in the
case of a crash.
❒If the passenger’s air bag is deactivated
always check the warning light Fon
the instrument panel to make sure that
it has actually been deactivated.
❒Attain to the instructions for fastening
the specific child restraint system which
you are using. These instructions must
be provided by the manufacturer. Keep
the child restraint system installation in-
structions with the car documents and
this Handbook. Never use a child re-
straint system without installation in-
structions.
❒Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling the webbing.
❒Only one child is to be strapped to each
retaining system.
❒Always check the seat belts do not fit
around the child’s throat.
❒While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or release the belts.
❒Passengers should never carry children
on their laps. No-one, however strong
they are, can hold a child in the event
of a crash.
❒In case of an accident, replace the seat
with a new one.
Never place cradle child’s
seats facing backwards on
the front passenger seat of cars fitted
with passenger air bag since the air
bag activation could cause serious in-
juries, even mortal. You are advised
to carry children always on the rear
seat, as this is the most protected po-
sition in the case of a crash.

PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE
“ISOFIX TYPE”
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
This car is preset for mounting the Isofix
type child restraint system, a new Euro-
pean standardised system for carrying chil-
dren safely. Isofix child restraint system
is an additional option that does not pre-
vent from using traditional child restraint
systems. Isofix type child restraint system
covers three groups: 0, 0+ and 1.
Due to its different anchoring system, the
Isofix type child restraint system shall be
anchored to the proper metal rings set be-
tween rear seat back and cushion A-
fig. 13or in the rear seat cover B-fig. 14
(according to versions).
It is possible to mount both the traditional
restraint system and the Isofix type one,
one on the left and the other on the right,
for example.
Since sizes are different, on the rear seats
it is possible to install max. two Isofix type
seats using the proper couplings or max.
three traditional child’s seats using the seat
belts. On the front passenger seat it is pos-
sible to mount only traditional child’s
seats.Lineaccessori Fiat provides the “Kiddy
Isofix” seat, certified according to Euro-
pean Standard ECE-R44/03, for babies up
to 13 kg weight to be positioned facing
backwards (groups 0 and 0+) and for ba-
bies from 9 to 18 kg weight that is to be
positioned facing the running direction
(group 1). Remember that in case of Isofix
type seats, you can only use those seats
designed, tested and approved for this car.
fig. 13F0C0274mfig. 14F0C0273m
Mount the child restraint
system only with the car sta-
tionary. The Isofix child restraint sys-
tem is properly anchored to the
mounting brackets when clicks are
heard. In any case, keep to the in-
stallation instructions that must be
provided by the child restraint system
Manufacturer.

Group 1
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.
