On certain versions, th passenger’s sun vi-
sor is fitted, on the back, with a courtesy
mirror with a light which enables to use
the mirror also with poor sunlight.
Lift the lid Ato use the mirror.
When the ignition key is at STOP, the
light stays on for about 15 minutes: if in
this period a door or the tailgate is
opened, the light will stay on for another
15 minutes.
The passenger’s sun visor also carries the
symbols and the message concerning the
correct use of the child restraint system
with passenger’s air bag (for further in-
formation see paragraph “Front passen-
ger’s Air bag” in section “Safety”).“SKYWINDOW”
(BLADE SUNROOF)
(where provided)
This is a roof opening system consisting of
5 glass blades. The sunroof is equipped
with a sun curtain electronically con-
trolled, which has the function to prevent
sun radiation.
SUNROOF OPENING
With ignition key at MARturn knob A-
fig. 77clockwise and select one of the 6
opening positions.
Do not open the sunroof if
there is snow or ice on it: it
could be damaged.
To guarantee proper sunroof
operation, routinely check
that water drain ducts at sun-
roof corners are clean; clean
also gaskets and sliding guides (with a
cloth soaked with water).
fig. 77F0C0222m
When leaving the car, the ig-
nition key should be re-
moved to prevent the sunroof from
being operated inadvertently and
harming anyone remaining in the car.
Improper use of the sunroof can be
dangerous. Before and during its op-
eration ensure that any passengers
are not at risk from the moving roof
either by personal objects getting
caught in the mechanism or by being
injured by it directly.

SERIOUS DANGER: Never
place cradle child’s seats fac-
ing backwards on the front
passenger seat of cars fitted
with passenger’s air bag since
the air bag activation could cause se-
rious injuries, even mortal. You are
advised to carry children always on
the rear seat, as this is the most pro-
tected position in the case of a crash.
In any case, children’s seats must ab-
solutely not be fitted on the front seat
of cars with passenger’s air bag, which
during inflation could cause serious
injury, even mortal, regardless of the
seriousness of the crash that triggered
it. Children may be placed on the
front seat of cars fitted with passen-
ger’s air bag deactivation. In this case,
it is absolutely necessary to check the
warning light
Fon the instrument
panel, to make sure that deactivation
has actually taken place (see para-
graph “Front passenger air bag” at
paragraph “Front air bags”). The
front passenger seat shall be adjust-
ed in the most backward position to
prevent any contact between child’s
seat and dashboard.
WARNINGCARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event of a
crash, all passengers must be seated and
wearing adequate restraint systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
Compared with adults, their head is pro-
portionally larger and heavier than the rest
of the body, while the muscles and bone
structure are not completely developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems are
necessary, other than adult seat belts.
The results of research on the best child
restraint systems are contained in the Eu-
ropean Standard EEC-R44. This Standard
enforces the use of restraint systems clas-
sified in five groups:
Group 0 0-10 kg in weight
Group 0+ 0-13 kg in weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg in weightAs it may be noted, the groups overlap
partly and in fact, in commerce it is pos-
sible to find devices that cover more than
one weight group.
All restraint devices must bear the certi-
fication data, together with the control
brand, on a solidly fixed label which must
absolutely never be removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of
view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and wear the seat
belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for each
weight group, which are the recommend-
ed choice, as they have been designed and
experimented specifically for Fiat cars.

Below is a summary of the rules of
safety to be followed for carrying
children:
❒The recommended position for in-
stalling 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
always check the warning light Fon
the instrument panel 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 in-
structions with the car documents and
this Handbook. Never use a child re-
straint system without installation in-
structions.
❒Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened 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.
Never place cradle child’s
seats facing backwards on
the front passenger seat of cars fitted
with passenger air bag since the air
bag activation could cause serious in-
juries, even mortal. You are advised
to carry children always on the rear
seat, as this is the most protected po-
sition in the case of a crash.

PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE
“ISOFIX TYPE”
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
This car is preset for mounting the Isofix
type child restraint system, a new Euro-
pean standardised system for carrying chil-
dren safely. Isofix child restraint system
is an additional option that does not pre-
vent from using traditional child restraint
systems. Isofix type child restraint system
covers three groups: 0, 0+ and 1.
Due to its different anchoring system, the
Isofix type child restraint system shall be
anchored to the proper metal rings set be-
tween rear seat back and cushion A-
fig. 13or in the rear seat cover B-fig. 14
(according to versions).
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, on the rear seats
it is possible to install max. two Isofix type
seats using the proper couplings or max.
three traditional child’s seats using the seat
belts. On the front passenger seat it is pos-
sible to mount only traditional child’s
seats.Lineaccessori Fiat provides the “Kiddy
Isofix” seat, certified according to Euro-
pean Standard ECE-R44/03, for babies up
to 13 kg weight to be positioned facing
backwards (groups 0 and 0+) and for ba-
bies from 9 to 18 kg weight that is to be
positioned facing the running direction
(group 1). Remember that in case of Isofix
type seats, you can only use those seats
designed, tested and approved for this car.
fig. 13F0C0274mfig. 14F0C0273m
Mount the child restraint
system only with the car sta-
tionary. The Isofix child restraint sys-
tem is properly anchored to the
mounting brackets when clicks are
heard. In any case, keep to the in-
stallation instructions that must be
provided by the child restraint system
Manufacturer.

FITTING THE ISOFIX TYPE SEAT
Groups 0 and 0+
For children of the 0, 0+ weight group (ba-
bies up to 13 kg), the child’s seat is facing
backwards and the child is restrained by
the child’s seat belts D-fig. 15.
As the child grows, passing to weight
group 1 (9-18 kg) refit it facing forwards
following the instructions provided with
the child restraint system.For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒move the rear sliding seat fully back-
wards with the seat back at 4thposition,
as shown in fig. 16.
❒check whether the release lever B-
fig. 15is at rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets A, then po-
sition the child restraint system with
the fastening devices Caligned 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 safe-
ty mechanism actually inhibits improp-
er coupling with only one coupling
locked.
fig. 16F0C0312m
fig. 15F0C0268m
In case of rear fixed seat and
if the Isofix type restraint
system is set facing backwards, the
passenger’s seat will have to be pulled
back until it touches the seat restraint
system back. In case of rear sliding
seat, move the front seat forward to
a position from half its stroke forth.
