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.

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.

Group 1
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. 17is 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;
❒for seats positioned facing the running
direction, hook the upper belt D-
fig. 18(in the upper seat pocket) to the
ring E in the boot;
❒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.
With this configuration, the child is se-
cured also by the car seat belts and by the
upper belts. To apply car seat belts to
child’s seat refer to the child’s seat hand-
book.

DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 21
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion
contained in a special recess in the cen-
tre of the steering wheel.PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG
fig. 22
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion
contained into a special recess in the
dashboard, this cushion has a volume big-
ger than that of the driver.
The driver’s and passenger’s front air bags
have been designed and calibrated to im-
prove the protection of a person wear-
ing seat belts.
At their maximum inflation, their volume
fills most of the space between the dash-
board and the passenger.
fig. 21F0C0051mfig. 22F0C0112m
SERIOUS DANGER: With
passenger’s air bag active,
never place child’s seats with
the cradle facing backwards
since the air bag activation
could cause to the child serious in-
juries, even mortal. In the case of
need, always deactivate the passen-
ger’s air bag when a child’s seat is
placed on the front seat. The front
passenger’s seat shall be adjusted in
the most backward position to pre-
vent any contact between child’s seat
and dashboard. Even if not compul-
sory by law, you are recommended to
reactivate the air bag immediately as
soon as child transport is no longer
necessary.

SIDE AIR BAGS
(Side bag -
Window bag)
SIDE BAG (where provided)
They are composed by two types of in-
stant inflation cushions and are housed in
the back rests of the front seats fig. 24
and in the side stuffing of the rear seats
(where provided) fig. 25. The task of the
side air bags is to increase protection of
the occupants’ chest in the event of a side
crash of medium-high severity.
WINDOW BAG (where provided)
fig. 26
They consist of two “curtain” cushions lo-
cated behind the side coverings of the roof
and covered by proper finishings; this so-
lution, studied for the head protection, al-
lows offering the best protection to the
front and rear occupants in the event of
side crash, thanks to the wide cushion in-
flation surface.In minor side crashes (for which the re-
straining action of the seat belts is suffi-
cient), 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 vi-
olent crashes.
Therefore the front and rear side bags
(where provided) are not a replacement
of but complementary to the belts, which
you are recommended to always wear, as
specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash,
you can obtain the best protection by the
system keeping a correct position on the
seat, allowing thus a correct window bag
unfolding.

SERIOUS DANGER: In pres-
ence of small size occupants
(children, etc.) on the rear
seats, it is necessary to deac-
tivate the rear side bags
through the apposite deactivation
switch located in the boot.
WARNINGMANUAL DEACTIVATION
OF REAR SIDE BAGS
(where provided)
Certain versions are fitted with rear side
bags (that can be deactivated) to protect
the chest of rear passengers.
For deactivation: operate the key switch
(with ignition key) located in the boot un-
der the rear shelves as shown in the fig-
ure. The switch can be reached only with

Remember that with the key
engaged and at MAR, even
with the engine not running, the air
bags may be triggered on a stationary
car if it is bumped by another moving
car. Therefore, never seat children on
the front seat even when the car is
stationary. On the other hand, re-
member that with the key at STOP
no safety system (air bags or preten-
sioners) is triggered in the event of an
impact; in this case, failure to come
into action cannot be considered as a
sign that the system is not working
properly.
WARNINGGENERAL WARNINGS
If when turning the ignition
key to MAR, the warning
light ¬does not turn on or if it stays
on when travelling (together with the
message on the display) there could
be a failure in safety systems; in this
event air bags or pretensioners could
not trigger in case of impact or, in a
minor number of cases, they could
trigger accidentally. Contact Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the
system checked.
WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of
front and rear seats with
trims or covers that are not suitable
to be used with side bags.
WARNING
Never travel with objects on
your lap, in front of your
chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. be-
tween your lips; injury may result in
the event of the air bag being trig-
gered.
WARNING
Always keep your hands on
the steering wheel rim when
driving, so that if the air bag is trig-
gered, it can inflate without meeting
any obstacles which could cause seri-
ous harm to you. Do not drive with
the body bent forwards, keep the seat
back rest in the erect position and
lean your back well against it.
WARNING
If the car has been stolen or
an attempt to steal it has
been made, if it has been subjected to
vandals or floods, have the air bag
system checked by Fiat Dealership.
