SAFETY

Main recommendations to carry
children safely
Install the child restraint systems on
the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an
impact.
Keep children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as
possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.
If the passenger front airbag (where
provided) is deactivated always check
the dedicated warning light on the trim
located on the dashboard to make sure
that it has actually been deactivated.
Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint system.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle
along with the other documents and
this handbook. Do not use
second-hand child restraint systems
without instructions.
Only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry two
children using one child restraint
system.
Always check that the seat belts do
not rest on the child’s neck.
Always check that the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling on it.
While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or
behind their back.
Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No one can hold a
child in the case of an accident.
If the car has been involved in a road
accident, replace the child restraint
system with a new one. In addition, and
depending on the type of child restraint
system installed, replace the isofix
anchorages or the seat belt with which
the child restraint system was
connected.
Any child restraint systems fitted
facing forward on an outside rear seat,
independently of its weight group, must
be fitted after removing the headrest
relative to the seat where it is to be
fitted. This does not apply to child
restraint systems that only consist of a
cushion (without backrest): these child
restraint systems must be installed
when the relative headrest is fitted.
WARNING
78)SEVERE DANGER When a front
passenger airbag is fitted, do not install
rearward facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a
collision.79)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a
rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -
Airbag" paragraph).
80)Should it be necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front seat in a rear
facing child restraint system, the passenger
side front airbag and side bag must be
deactivated through the Connect system
main menu (see the "Supplementary
Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag"
paragraph), verifying deactivation by
checking whether the
LED has
illuminated on the front ceiling light. Move
the passenger's seat as far back as
possible to avoid contact between the
child seat and the dashboard.
81)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system
82)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided by
the Manufacturer.
83)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. In this
way, in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
95

84)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove the
child restraint system before making any
adjustment.
85)Always make sure that the diagonal
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear the
seat belt correctly.
86)Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child restraint
system.
87)If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint
system is not fixed to all three anchorages,
it will not be able to protect the child
correctly. In a crash, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.
88)Fit the child restraint system when the
car is stationary. The child restraint system
is correctly fixed to the brackets when you
hear the click. Follow the instructions for
assembly, disassembly and positioning that
the Manufacturer must supply with the
child restraint system.SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) - AIRBAG
The vehicle is equipped with:
front driver airbag;
passenger front airbag (where
provided);
driver and passenger front side bags
(if present) for pelvis, chest and
shoulder protection (Side bags);
side bags (if present) for head
protection of front seat passengers and
rear side seat passengers (window
bag).
The location of the airbags on the
vehicle is marked by the word "AIR
BAG" in the middle of the steering
wheel, on the dashboard, on the side
trim or on a label placed next to the
airbag deployment area.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver and passenger airbags
(where present) protect the front seat
occupants in the event of head-on
crashes of medium-high severity, by
placing the cushion between the
occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.The non-activation of airbags in other
types of collisions (side impacts, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc...) (if present)
therefore does not indicate a system
malfunction.
Driver and passenger front airbags
(where present) are not a replacement
of but complementary to the seat belts,
which should always be worn, as
specified by law in Europe and most
non-European countries.
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
following situations:
frontal impacts against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the vehicle (e.g. wing
collision against guard rail, etc.);
vehicle wedging under other
vehicles or protective barriers (e.g.
trucks or guard rails).
Failure to activate in the conditions
described above is due to the fact that
they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would be inappropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does
not indicate a system malfunction.
96
SAFETY

The driver's and passenger's front
airbags (where present) have been
designed and calibrated to protect front
seat occupants wearing seat belts. At
their maximum inflation, their volume
fills most of the space between the
steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the
passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the
event of minor frontal impacts (for which
the restraining action of the seat belts is
sufficient).
Seat belts must always be worn. In the
event of frontal impacts they guarantee
correct positioning of the passenger.
Front airbag driver's side
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special
compartment in the centre of the
steering wheel fig. 90.Passenger side front airbag
(where provided)
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special recess in the
dashboard fig. 91; this bag has a larger
volume than that of the driver's.
Passenger front airbag (where
provided) and child restraint
systems
Rearward-facing child restraint systems
mustNEVERbe fitted on the front seat
with an active passenger side airbag
since in the event of an impact the
airbag activation may cause fatal
injuries to the transported child.
ALWAYScomply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger
side sun visor fig. 92.Deactivating passenger front airbag
(where provided) and side bag
(where provided) for pelvis, chest
and shoulders protection
If a child must be carried on the front
seat in a rearward facing child restraint
system, deactivate the passenger front
airbag (where provided) and front side
bag (where provided).
To deactivate the airbags use the
display Menu (see the instructions in the
"Display" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter).
The
LED is present at the middle of
the instrument panel fig. 93.
Moving the ignition device to MAR
switches on the LED for about
8 seconds. If not, contact a Fiat
Dealership. During the first seconds, the
activation of the LED does not actually
show the passenger protection status,
but only checks its correct operation.

Passenger front airbag (where provided) and child restraint systems:
IMPORTANT
94F1B0129C
99

90)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.
91)When there is an active passenger
airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing
child restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the child
regardless of the severity of the impact.
Therefore, always deactivate the passenger
side airbag when a rearward facing child
restraint system is installed on the front
passenger seat. The front passenger seat
must also be positioned back as far as
possible in order to prevent the child
restraint system from coming into contact
with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate
the passenger airbag as soon as the child
restraint system has been removed.
92)To deactivate the airbags using the
instrument panel menu, see the description
in the "Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter, "Menu Options" paragraph.
93)Do not affix rigid objects to the
garment hooks or support handles.
94)Do not rest your head, arms or elbows
on the door, windows or the area in which
the Window bag is located to avoid
possible injury during airbag inflation.
95)Never lean your head, arms or elbows
out of the window.96)If, when the ignition device is turned to
MAR, thewarning light does not switch
on or stays on whilst driving, a fault may
have occurred in the restraint systems. In
this case the airbags or pretensioners may
not be deployed in an impact or, in a lower
number of cases, they may be deployed
accidentally. Contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
97)In some versions, in case of a LED
failure (located on the plate of the
instrument panel), thewarning light on
the instrument panel turns on and the
passenger side airbags are deactivated.
98)On cars with side bags, do not cover
the front seat backrests with extra covers.
99)Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between your
lips (pipe, pencils, etc.): they could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
100)If the car has been stolen or in the
case of attempt to steal it, if it has been
subjected to vandalism or floods, have the
airbag system checked by a Fiat
Dealership.
101)If the ignition device is at MAR, even if
the engine is switched off, airbags may be
deployed when the vehicle is stationary
and hit by another vehicle. Therefore, even
if the vehicle is stationary, when an active
front passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install rearward facing child restraint
systems on the front passenger seat.
Deployment of the airbag following an
impact could cause fatal injuries to the
child.Therefore, always deactivate the passenger
side airbag when a rearward facing child
restraint system is installed on the front
passenger seat. The front passenger seat
must also be positioned back as far as
possible in order to prevent the child
restraint system from coming into contact
with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate
the passenger airbag as soon as the child
restraint system has been removed. Also
remember that, if the ignition device is set
to STOP, none of the safety devices
(airbags or pretensioners) will be deployed
in the event of collision. Non-deployment in
such cases does not indicate a system
malfunction.
102)Malfunction of the
warning light is
indicated by the activation of an airbag
failure icon and a dedicated message on
the instrument panel display (or, for
versions where provided, by the activation
of a blinking generic failure warning light).
The pyrotechnic charges are not disabled.
Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to
have the system checked.
103)The airbag deployment threshold is
higher than that of the pretensioners. For
collisions in the range between the two
thresholds, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.
104)The airbag does not replace seat
belts but increases their efficiency.
Because front airbags are not deployed for
low-speed crashes, side collisions,
rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants are
protected, in addition to any side bags,
only by their seat belts, which must
therefore always be fastened.
