PRESETTING FOR MOUNTING THE
“TYPE ISOFIX” CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(where provided)
This car is created preset for mounting the Isofix child restraint system.
“Type Isofix” is a European standardised system for mounting child
restraints. Type Isofix child restraint system is an additional option that
does not prevent from using traditional child restraint systems. The Type
Isofix child’s seat covers three weight groups:0,0+ and 1.
Due to its different anchoring system, the Type Isofix 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
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.

WARNINGMount 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.

GROUP 1
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;
❒for seats positioned facing the running direction, hook the upper belt
(in the upper child's seat pocket) to the ring (D) located on the rear
seat back;
❒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.
With this configuration, the child is secured also by the car seat belts and
by the upper belt. To apply car seat belts to child’s seat refer to the
child’s seat handbook.

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to the body by
specialised personnel according to any additional
and/or integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device.
The towing device must meet current regulations with
reference to 94/20/EC Directive and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used must match
the towable weight of the vehicle on which it is to be
installed.
For the electric connection a unified connector should
be used which is generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device, and a special
ECU for external trailer light control shall be installed
on the car. For the electrical connection 7 or 13 pins 12VDC
connection is to be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN
Standards). Follow the instructions provided by the car
manufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.
An electric brake should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a cross section of no less
than 2.5 mm

IMPORTANT Electric brake or other device shall be
used with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the car’s electric
system can only be connected to the supply cable for
an electric brake and to the cable for an internal light,
though not above 15W.
For connections use a preset control unit with battery
cable no less than 2.5 mm
