PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE
“UNIVERSAL
ISOFIX” CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
This car is preset for mounting the Uni-
versal Isofix child restraint system, a
new European standardised system for
carrying children safely.
The Universal Isofix child’s seat covers
weight group: 1.
Due to its different anchoring system,
the Universal Isofix child's seat shall be
anchored to the proper metal brackets
A-fig. 11, set between rear seat back
and cushion. The upper belt (provided
with the child's seat) shall be then se-
cured to fasteners B-fig. 12set on rear
seat backrest behind the head restraints.It is possible to mount both the tradi-
tional restraint system and the Univer-
sal Isofix one, one on the left and the
other on the right respectively.
Remember that in case of Universal
Isofix child’s seat, you can only use all
those seats approved with the marking
Universal Isofix.A0E0190mfig. 12

FITTING THE UNIVERSAL
ISOFIX CHILD’S SEAT
Group 1
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒find the presetting brackets, then po-
sition the child restraint system with
the fastening devices aligned with the
brackets;
❒ push the child restraint system until
hearing locking clicks;
❒secure the upper belt (provided with
the child’s seat) to the fastener B-
fig. 12set on the rear seat back;
❒check proper locking by moving the
child’s seat with force.
For any further installation/use detail,
refer to the “Instructions Manual” that
must be provided by the child restraint
system Manufacturer.
FRONT AIR BAGS
The car is fitted with front multistage air
bags (“Smart bags”) for the driver and
the passenger and with knees air bag
for the driver and for the passenger
(where provided).
“SMART BAG” SYSTEM
(FRONT MULTISTAGE AIR
BAGS)
The front air bags (driver and passen-
ger) and knees air bags (driver and pas-
senger) have been designed to protect
the occupants in the event of head-on
crashes of medium-high severity, by plac-
ing cushions between the occupant and
the steering wheel or dashboard.
In case of crash, an electronic control
unit, when required, triggers the infla-
tion of the cushions that inflate, as a pro-
tection, between the body of the front
occupants and the structure that could
cause injuries. Immediately after, the
cushions deflate.The front air bags (driver and passen-
ger) and knees air bags (driver and pas-
senger) are not a replacement of but
complementary to the use of belts,
which should always be worn, as spec-
ified by law in Europe and most non Eu-
ropean 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 circum-
stance the protection offered by the air
bag is reduced.
