There are two anchoring positions
A and B-fig. 6 for front seat belts on
the door post.
Before driving off for the first time,
adjust the position of the seat belt an-

and favourite driving position. If re-
quired, have the anchoring point of
the seat belt adjusted.USING THE CENTRAL REAR

CARRYING 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 chil-
dren.
According to 2003/20/EC Directive,
this prescription is compulsory for all
European Community countries.
Compared with adults, their head is
proportionally larger and heavier than
the rest of the body, while the mus-
cles and bone structure are not com-
pletely developed. Therefore, correct
restraint systems are necessary, other
then adult seat belts.The results of research on the best
child restraint systems are contained
in the European Standard ECE-R44.
This Standard enforces the use of re-
straint systems classified 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 weightAll restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the
control brand, on a solidly fixed label
which must absolutely never be re-
moved.
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 rec-
ommended choice, as they have been
designed and experimented specifically
for Fiat cars.

Rear seats fig. 28
Two fixed head restraints are pro-
vided for the rear seats.
Press the two buttons to remove.
Remember that the
head restraints should be
adjusted to support the
back of your head and not your
neck. Only if they are in this po-
sition will they be able to provide
effective protection in the event
of a rear-end shunt.

Heavy loads which are
not securely anchored
could seriously injure pas-
sengers in the event of an acci-
dent.
IMPORTANTCheck and adjust
the height of the dipped headlight
beam when travelling at night with a
rather heavy load in the boot (see
HEADLIGHTSin this chapter).
When refitting the rear
window shelf, fasten the
two side tie-rods fig. 67
passing them on the outside of
the struts.
Some versions are fitted with rear
speakers located on the rear window
shelf.
When removing the rear window
shelf disconnect also the connector
between speakers and sound system.
Proceed as follows: disconnect con-
nector A-fig. 73from its seat Blo-
cated on the side wall under the seat
belt hole. When refitting the rear window shelf,
reconnect connector to B-fig. 73to
reset speaker operation.
IMPORTANTProper radio oper-
ation is not impaired when the rear
speakers (on the rear window shelf)
are not connected.

81DRIVING YOUR CAR
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains is regulated
by the legislation in force in the coun-
try the car is driven in.
The chains may only be applied to
the drive wheel tyres (front wheels).
Use only low profile chains (maxi-
mum height off the tyre: 12 mm).
We recommend using Lineaccessori
Fiat snow chains.
Check the tautness of the chains af-
ter driving some ten metres.Keep you speed down
when snow chains have
been fitted to the wheels.
Avoid potholes, steps and pave-
ments, and do not drive for long
stretches on snow-free roads,
otherwise you risk damaging the
tyres, suspension and steering.
IMPORTANTDo not fit snow
chains on a space-saver spare wheel.
If a front wheel (drive wheel) is punc-
tured and you require snow chains to
proceed, take a standard wheel from
the rear axle and fit the space-saver
spare wheel in its place. Having fitted
two standard wheels on the front
drive axle, you can use snow chains,
thus solving the emergency situation.

90IN AN EMERGENCY
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
When a light is not working, check
that it has not fused before changing
the bulb.
For location of fuses, refer to
IF A
FUSE BLOWS
in this chapter.
Before replacing a bulb that does not
work, check that the contacts are not
oxidised.
Burnt-out bulbs must be replaced
with ones of the same type.
Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.

IMPORTANTOn the inside sur-
face of the headlight there could ap-
pear a slight coat of fogging; this does
not show a defect, since it is a natural
occurrence due to low temperature
and to the degree of humidity in the
air; it will soon disappear as soon as
the lights are turned on. The presence
of drops inside the headlight shows
water seepage, refer to the Fiat
Dealership.
