SIDE AIR BAGS
SIDE AIRBAGS(For versions/markets where provided)
These are air bags that can be installed
in the front seats and inflate to the side
of the seat (door side) in order to
protect the car's occupants in the event
of a violent side collision.
DRIVER'S AIR BAG(For versions/markets where provided)
These are air bags on each upper side
of the vehicle. They inflate along the
front door side windows to protect the
occupants in case of a violent side
collision.

WARNING
112)When you lend or re-sell the vehicle,
tell the new owner of these conditions for
use and hand over this owner handbook.
113)Installing seat covers: seats equipped
with airbags require covers specifically
made for the vehicle. Consult a Fiat
Dealership. Using any other liner (or liners
specific to another vehicle) could cause
these airbags to function incorrectly and
jeopardise the occupants' safety.114)Never place an accessory, an object
or an animal between the backrest, the
door and interior coverings. Do not cover
the seat backrest with items like clothing or
accessories. These could cause the airbag
to function incorrectly or cause injury when
the airbag deploys.
115)Any dismantling or changes made to
the seats and their coverings is prohibited,
except if done by qualified Fiat Dealership
personnel.
116)The airbag was conceived to
complement the seat belt. The airbag and
seat belt together constitute inseparable
components to the same protective
system. Therefore, you always need to
fasten your seat belt. Not fastening them
can put the vehicle's occupants at risk of
aggravated injury and can increase injury
risk caused by deployment of the airbag
itself.
117)Seat belt pre-tensioner and airbag
deployment in case the vehicle flips over or
a violent rear collision is not systematic.
Collisions beneath the vehicle, like hitting a
curbstone, road unevenness, stones, etc.,
can cause the system to deploy.
118)Any intervention or modification to the
complete airbag system (airbag,
pre-tensioners, electronic modules, wiring,
etc.) is severely prohibited (except by
qualified Fiat Dealership personnel).
119)For safety reasons, check the airbag
system after the vehicle has undergone an
accident, theft or attempted theft.
IMPORTANT
21)To maintain correct operation and to
prevent accidental deployment, only
qualified Fiat Dealership personnel can
intervene on the airbag system.
IMPORTANT
4)When the vehicle is scrapped, contact a
Fiat Dealership to have the gas generator
removed.

SAFETY

Booster seats
From 15 kg or 4 years up, a child can
travel on a booster seat that adapts the
seat belt to his/her shape fig. 188. The
booster seat must have guides that
position the belt on his/her thighs and
not on the stomach.
The height-adjustable backrest and
seat belt track is recommended to
position the belt at the centre of the
shoulder. It must never rest on the neck
or arm. Choose an encompassing child
seat for better side protection.INSTALLING A CHILD RESTRAINT
SEAT
Some child seats cannot be installed.
The diagrams on the following pages
show the child seat attachment
position.
Before using a child restraint system,
make sure that it can be fitted.
In the front seat
Carrying children in the front passenger
seat is country-specific. Check with the
current laws and follow the indications
in the following diagram.
Before installing a child seat in this seat
(if authorised):
lower the seat belt completely;
move the seat back completely;
incline the backrest slightly (about
25°);
for vehicles that are able to do so,
raise the seat as high as possible.
Raise headrest as far up as possible so
that it does not interfere with the child
restraint system (refer to the "Front
headrest" paragraph in the "Knowing
your vehicle” chapter).
After installing the child seat, you can
move the seat forwards again (to leave
enough space in the rear for other
passengers or child seats). With a
rear-facing child restraint system, it
should not touch the dashboard or
anything in front of it.
Do not change any other adjustments
after installing the child seat.In the rear side seat
The cot is installed crosswise with
respect to the vehicle and takes up at
least two seats. Place the child's head
opposite the door. Move the front seat
as far forward as possible to install the
child seat backwards from driving
direction, then move it back to
maximum so it does not come into
contact with the child seat.
For the safety of children who are facing
forward, do not move the seat in front
of the child back farther than the centre
of its travel, do not incline the backrest
excessively (25° at most) and raise the
seat up as far as possible.
Remove the headrest from the rear seat
with the child restraint system on it
(refer to the "Rear headrest" paragraph
in the "Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
This must be done before positioning
the child seat.
Make sure that the forward-facing child
restraint system is resting against the
seat backrest.
In the rear central seat
Make sure the seat belt is adapted to
your child seat. Consult a Fiat
Dealership.

ISOFIX FASTENING
SYSTEM
Authorised child seats are approved
according to the ECE-R44 law in one of
the three following cases:
universal ISOFIX with 3 couplings
facing forward;
semi-universal ISOFIX with
2 couplings;
specific.
For the last two, check that your child
restraint system can be installed by
referring to the list of compatible
vehicles.
Fit the child restraint system with the
ISOFIX anchors, where provided. The
ISOFIX system ensures simple, fast and
safe installation.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings
and, in some cases, a third ring.The two rings 1 fig. 195, shown by a
label
, are located between the
backrest and the seat cushion.
To facilitate and lock your child seat to
ring 1, use its access guide 2.
Child seat coupling rings facing
forward for rear side positions: the
3rd ring is used to hook the upper seat
belt found in some child seats.
Place the headrest in the upper
position or remove it;
pass belt 3 fig. 196 (provided with
the seat) between the two rear headrest
rods;
fasten hook 4 onto ring 5 fig. 196,
marked by the symbol
on the back
of the seat;
tighten the belt so the child seat is in
contact with the vehicle's backrest.195T32862
