essary to keep the backrest firm-
ly folded and flattened onto the
cushion, in order to avoid any risk
of contact with the articulation
mechanisms of the seat itself.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
Remember the head re-
straints must be posi-
tioned so that they sup-
port the back of the head and not
the neck. Only in this position will
they protect you properly in the
event of an end-shunt collision.Front seats fig. 47
The head restraints can be adjusted
for height and tilt.
To adjust height, lift or lower the
head restraint to get the required po-
sition.
To make the adjustment operate the
head restraint as shown in the figure.
In order to use the head
restraint in the correct
way, adjust the seat back
so that the chest is in upright po-
sition and the head is as closest to
the head restraint as possible.

All restraint systems must show ho-
mologation data and control markings
on a tag which is solidly fastened to the
system and cannot be removed.
Children weighing than 1.5 m are,
with reference to restrain systems,
considered adults and can wear nor-
mal seat belts.
We recommend using Lineaccessori
Fiat child restraint systems for each
weight group. These systems were
specifically designed and tested for Fi-
at vehicles.GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg are to be seated
in a cot type seat supporting the child’s
head facing backwards. This ensures
there is no stress on the child’s neck
in sudden decelerations.
The cot is secured with the seat belts
as shown in fig. 66. Furthermore, the
child must be strapped to the cot.GROUP 1
Children from 9 to 18 kg are to be
seated facing forward in child seats
with front cushions,fig. 67. The ve-
hicle seat belt secures both seat and
child.
The figure is only an ex-
ample. Follow the in-
structions for fastening
the specific child restraint system
you are using.

There are child re-
straints for Groups 0 and
1 which are fastened with
the vehicle seat belts by means of
an attachment on the seat back.
The child is then secured to the
seat with specific straps. Due to
their weight, child seats can be
dangerous if they are fitted in-
correctly (e.g. placing a cushion
between the seat and the belts).
Always follow the specific instal-
lation instructions for the child
restraint system you are using.

ample. Follow the in-
structions for fastening
the specific child restraint system

Children from 15 to 25 kg can be
seated directly with the vehicle seat
belts. The seat has the purpose of po-
sitioning the child correctly with re-
spect to the seat belt so that the di-
agonal section crosses the child’s chest
(never the child’s throat) and the hor-
izontal section fits snugly on the child’s
hips (and not the child’s abdomen)
fig. 68.GROUP 3
For children from 22 to 36 kg, the
size of the chest no longer requires a
support to space the child’s back from
the seat back.
Fig. 69shows proper child seat po-
sitioning on the rear seat.
Children taller than 1.5 m can wear
seat belts like adults.

The seat fitted with child restraint
system shall be set in the most back-
ward position.
You are recommended to choose
Kiddy Isofix since this seat has been
designed and tested specifically for this
vehicle. Kiddy Isofix has been type ap-
proved according to the European
Standard ECE-R44/03.
Type Isofix restraint systems are fas-
tened to two metal brackets A-fig.
70, between the seat back and the
cushion. 3)Keep to the instructions for fas-
tening the specific child restraint sys-
tem you are using which must be pro-
vided by the manufacturer. Keep the
child restraint system installation in-
structions with the vehicle documents
and the Handbook. Never use a child
restraint system without installation
instructions.
4)Always check that the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling the webbing.
5)Only one child can be secured to
a child restraint at a time. Never car-
ry two children in one restraint system.
6)Always check that the seat belts
are not positioned on the child’s
throat.
7)While travelling, do not let the
child seat incorrectly or release the
belts.
8)Passengers should never carry
children or babies on their laps. No-
one, however strong they are, can
hold a child in the event of a crash.
9) In case of an accident, replace the
seat with a new one.Presetting for mounting the
“Type Isofix” child restraint
system
The car is equipped for Type Isofix
child restraint system installation. Type
Isofix is a new European unified sys-
tem to carry children on the seats
which does not prevent using tradi-
tional child restraint systems. This sys-
tem must be fastened using the ap-
propriate brackets set on the car.
Mixed fitting is possible, with a tra-
ditional child restraint system on the
left and an Type Isofix restraint system
on the right. Being their size different,
it is possible to fit on the seats up to
a maximum of three traditional child
restraint systems, while only two Isofix
restraint systems can be attached to
the fasteners.
Lineaccessori Fiat includes Kiddy
Isofix restraint system for children
weighing up to 18 kg with the child
seat placed in the driving direction and
up to 13 kg with the child seat placed
in the opposite direction (groups 0,
0+and 1).

As the child grows, passing to the
next weight group (group 1) the child
safety chair must be fitted in the ahead
direction; perform this operation by
following the instructions provided by
the child seat’s Manufacturer.
With the child’s seat in this position,
adjust the corresponding front seat in
such a way that the Kiddy Isofix seat
structure leans against the front seat
backrest.

For proper mounting proceed as fol-
lows:

the fastening devices Caligned with
the brackets;
– push the child restraint system un-
til hearing the locking clicks;With the child seat in this position,
the corresponding front seat must be
positioned halfway the sliding guides

– for seats positioned facing the run-
ning direction, fasten the upper belt (in
the upper seat pocket) to the ring A-
fig. 72located on the floor immedi-
ately behind the seat:
– check proper locking by moving
the child’s seat with force: the built-
in safety mechanism actually inhibit im-
proper coupling with only one cou-
pling locked.
With this configuration, the child is
secured also by the car seat belts
fig. 73and by the upper belt.
Keep to the instructions provided by
the child restraint system Manufac-
turer for fastening the specific child re-
straint system you are using.

To unlock the tailgate in the event of
an electric failure, proceed as follows:
– introduce a screw driver into hole

TRANSPORTING LUGGAGE
IMPORTANTFor vehicle versions
without Xenon lights travelling at night
with the luggage compartment loaded
it is necessary to adjust the dipped
beam headlight position (see “Head-
lamps” paragraph in this chapter).When loading the lug-
gage compartment, do
not exceed the permitted
weight limits (see “Technical
specifications” chapter). Also en-
sure that any objects in the lug-
gage compartment are firmly se-
cured and that they cannot be
thrown forward causing injury to
passengers if the vehicle brakes
suddenly.
Heavy loads which are
not securely anchored
could seriously injure pas-
sengers in the event of an acci-
dent. The addition of objects
(spoilers, etc.) on the rear
shelf or boot lid, except
those envisaged by the manufac-
turer, may prevent the tailgate
from working properly.

If you need to carry a
petrol can when travelling
in areas in which refu-
elling is problematic, attain to the
legislation in force. Only use a ho-
mologated can and fasten it suit-
ably to the load. Even given these
precautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is high.RIGID PARCEL-SHELF

wards the car back.SLIDING LUGGAGE COVER
