Seats exist which are suitable for covering weight groups 0 and 1 with a rear
connection to the vehicle belts and their own belts to restrain the child.
Due to their size, they can be dangerous if installed incorrectly fastened to the car
belts with a cushion. Carefully follow the instructions for installation provided
with the seat. The figure is only an example for mounting. Attain to the instructions for fastening
which must be enclosed with the specific child restraining system you are using.

GROUP 1
Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, children may be carried facing
forwards, with seat fitted with front cushion, through which the car
seat belt restrains both child and seat.
GROUP 2
Starting from 15 kg to 25 kg in weight, children may be restrained
directly by the car belts. The only function of the seat is to position
the child correctly in relation to the belts, so that the diagonal part
adheres to the chest and not to the neck and that the horizontal part
clings to the child’s pelvis and not the abdomen.

PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON CHILD’S SEAT USE
This vehicle complies with the new European Directive 2000/3/CE regulating child’s seat assembling on the
different car seats according to the following table:
SEAT
Group Range of weight Front passenger Rear passenger Central passenger
side rear
Group 0, 0+ until 13 kg U U *
Group 1 9-18 kg U U *
Group 2 15-25 kg U U *
Group 1 22-36 kg U U *
Key:
U = suitable for child restraint systems of the “Universal” category, according to European Standard ECE-R44 for the specified “Groups”.
* Never mount child restraint systems on the rear central seat.

Below is a summary of the rules of safety
to be followed for carrying children:
❒The recommended position for installing
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 (where
fitted) always check the amber yellow warning
lightFon the cluster 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 instructions with the car
documents and this Handbook. Never use a child
restraint system without installation instructions.
❒Always check the seat belt is well fastened 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.

PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE “ISOFIX TYPE” CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (where provided)
This car is created preset for mounting the Isofix type child restraint
system. “Isofix” is a European standardised system for mounting
child restraints. Isofix type child restraint system is an additional
option that does not prevent from using traditional child restraint
systems. The Isofix type child’s seat covers three weight groups: 0,0+
and 1.
Due to its different anchoring system, the Isofix type child’s seat shall
be anchored to the proper metal brackets set between rear seat back
and cushion, which can be identified by the slots in the seat cover A.
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, it is possible to install max two traditional
child’s seats on the rear side seats secured by seat belts. Only
traditional child’s seats can be installed on front seat.
These child’s seats are recommended since they have been designed
and experimented expressly for this car.

WARNING
Mount the child restraint system only with the car stationary. The Isofix child
restraint system is properly anchored to the mounting brackets when clicks are
heard. In any case, keep to the installation instructions that must be provided by
the child restraint system Manufacturer.

FITTING THE ISOFIX TYPE SEAT
0 and 0+ group
For children of the 0, 0+ weight group, the child’s seat is facing
backwards (babies up to
13 kg) and the child is restrained by the child’s seat belts D.
As the child grows, passing to weight group 1, remove the child’s seat
from the base and refit it facing forwards.
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒check whether the release lever B is at rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets A, then position the child restraint
system with the fastening devices C aligned with the brackets;
❒push the child restraint system until hearing locking clicks;
❒check proper locking by moving the child’s seat with force: the
built-in safety mechanism actually inhibit improper coupling with
only one coupling locked.

FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS
The car is fitted with front air bags for the driver
and for the passenger, and window bags (head
protection system); upon request the car can be
fitted also with front side bags;
The front air bag (driver and passenger) has been
designed to protect the 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.
Front air bags are designed to protect car’s
occupants in front crashes and therefore non-
activation in other types of collisions (side
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a
system malfunction.
In case of crash, an electronic control unit, when
required, triggers the inflation of the cushion.
The cushion immediately inflates, placing itself as a
protection between the body of the front occupants
and the structure that could cause injuries.
Immediately after, the cushion deflates.
The front air bag (driver and passenger) is not a
replacement of but complementary to the use of
belts, which should always be worn, as specified by
law in Europe and most non European countries.In case of crash, a person not wearing the seat belt
moves forward and may come into contact with the
cushion while it is still inflating. Under this
circumstance the protection offered by the air bag is
reduced.
Front air bag may not be activated in the following
situations:
❒in collisions against highly deformable objects
not affecting the vehicle front surface
(e.g. bumper collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒in case of wedging under other vehicles or
protective barriers (for example under a truck or
guard rail), the air bag is not triggered as it
offers no additional protection compared with
the seat belts, consequently it would be pointless.
Therefore, failure to come into action in the
above circumstance does not mean that the
system is not working properly.
The driver’s and passenger’s front Air bags have
been designed and calibrated to improve the
protection of a person wearing seat belts.
At its maximum inflation, its volume fills most of
the space between the dashboard and the passenger.

DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained in a special recess
in the centre of the steering wheel.
PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained in a special recess
A in the dashboard and the cushion has a volume bigger than that of
the driver. In minor crashes (for which the restraining action of the
seat belts is sufficient), the air bags are not deployed. Also in this case
it is of vital importance to wear the seat belts since in case of side
crash they guarantee proper positioning of the occupant and prevent
the occupants to be pitched out of the car in case of violent crashes.
WARNING
On cars provided with front passenger's air bag, the air bag shall be deactivated
when placing a child' seat on the front passenger's seat. The front passenger seat
shall be adjusted in the most backward position to prevent any contact between
child’ seat and dashboard. Even if not compulsory by law, you are recommended to
reactivate the air bag immediately as soon as child transport is no longer necessary.
L0D0144m
L0D0145m
SERIOUS DANGER: The car is fitted with an air bag on the passenger’s side. Never
place cradle child’s seats on the front passenger’s seat of cars fitted with passenger’s
air bag since the air bag activation could cause serious injuries, even mortal.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects on the
steering wheel, in area A of the passenger’s
air bag on the passenger's side air bag or
on the side covering. Never put objects on
the dashboard on the passenger’s side (e.g.
mobile phones) because they may interfere
with the correct air bag deployment and
cause serious injuries to the car occupants.
