NOTE The removed parcel shelf 1
fig. 21 can temporarily be put behind
the front seats as shown.
Repositioning the backrests
13)
Raise the backrests and push them
back until the locking click of both
retainers is heard. Visually check that
the red marks have disappeared fromthe release devices 1 fig. 14. The
presence of the red notches indicates
that the backrest is not secured.
Seat repositioning
(TIPO STATION WAGON version)
After repositioning the backrests,
remove the seat belt fastening devices
from the elastic retainers and make sure
that they are free to turn. Check that
there are no objects on the cushion
surface, turn the backrests backwards,
insert them under the backrest and
press downwards until they click.
Visually check that the correct position
they had before they were tipped is
restored.
IMPORTANT Always free the seat belt
fastening devices before repositioning
the seat cushion to allow it to be
repositioned correctly without damage.
WARNING
11)All adjustments must be made with the
car stationary.
12)Once you have released the
adjustment lever, always check that the
seat is locked on the guides by trying to
move it back and forth. If the seat is not
locked into place, it may unexpectedly slide
and cause the driver to lose control of the
car.13)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking, with
possible impact with of the passengers.
14)People who can't feel skin pain due to
advanced age, chronic diseases, diabetes,
spine damage, medication, alcohol,
exhaustion, or other physical conditions,
must be careful when using the seat
heater. It could cause burns even at a low
temperature, especially when used for long
periods of time.
15)Do not place objects on the seat or on
the backrest that may isolate the heat,
such as a cover or a pillow. It may cause
the seat heating device to overheat. Sitting
on an overheated seat may cause severe
burns due to the increase in temperature of
the seat surface.
IMPORTANT
4)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.

Travelling with the head restraints in the
not-in-use position (all low) occupied
rear seats is not advised.On some versions, the label shown in

CHILD PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
CARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY
80) 81) 82) 83)
For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint
systems, including newborn and other
children!
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of
1.50 metres and up to 12 years must
be protected with suitable restraint
systems and be seated on the rear
seats.
Statistics on accidents indicate that the
rear seats offer greater safety for
children.
Compared with an adult, a child's head
is larger and heavier in proportion to
their body and the child's muscular and
bone structures are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems
other than adult seat belts are
necessary, to reduce as much as
possible the risk of injuries in the event
of an accident, braking or sudden
manoeuvre.Children must be seated safely and
comfortably. As far as the
characteristics of the child seats used
allow, you are advised to keep children
in rear facing child seats for as long as
possible (at least until 3–4 years old),
since this is the most protected position
in the event of an impact.
The choice of the most suitable child
restraint system depends on the weight
and size of the child. There are various
types of child restraint systems, which
can be secured to the car by means of
the seat belts or with the ISOFIX/i-Size
anchorages.
It is recommended to always choose
the restraint system most suitable for
the child; for this reason always refer to
the Owner Handbook provided with the
child restraint system, to be sure that it
is of the right type for the children it is
intended for.In Europe the characteristics of child
restraint systems are ruled by the
regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:Group Weight range
Group 0up to 10 kg in
weight
Group 0+up to 13 kg in
weight
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15 - 25 kg
Group 3 22 - 36 kg
The ECE-R44 standard was recently
paired with the ECE R-129 regulation,
which defines the characteristics of the
new i-Size child restraint systems (see
the "Suitability of passenger seats for
i-Size child restraint system use"
paragraph for more information).
All restraint devices must bear the
type-approval data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori MOPAR
®includes child
restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are
recommended having been specifically
designed for Fiat vehicles.

SAFETY
Page 204 of 292
that the various protections (e.g. rubber
caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
IMPORTANT
87)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
88)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the
vehicle only by hand using neutral pH
detergents; dry it with a wet chamois
leather. Abrasive products and/or polishes
should not be used for cleaning the car.
Bird droppings must be washed off
immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle
under trees; remove vegetable resins
immediately as, when dried, it may only be
possible to remove them with abrasive
products and/or polishes, which is highly
inadvisable as they could alter the typical
opaqueness of the paint. Do not use pure
windscreen washer fluid for cleaning the
front windscreen and rear window; dilute it
min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
IMPORTANT
6)Detergents pollute the environment. Only
wash your vehicle in areas equipped to
collect and treat wastewater from this type
of activity.
INTERIOR
183) 184) 185)
Periodically check the cleanliness of the
interior, beneath the mats, which could
cause oxidation of the sheet metal.
SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use a
moist brush on when cleaning
non-fabric upholstery. Rub the seats
with a sponge moistened with a
solution of water and neutral detergent.
LEATHER SEATS(where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois or
slightly damp cloth, without exerting too
much pressure.
Remove any liquid or grease stains
using an absorbent dry cloth, without
rubbing. Then clean with a soft cloth or
buckskin cloth dampened with water
and mild soap. If the stain persists, use
specific products and observe the
instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make
sure that the cleaning products used
contain no alcohol or alcohol
derivatives, even in small quantities.
