Do not place a cradle seat
facing backwards on the
front seat if the passenger side airbag
is on. Deployment of the airbag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to
the baby regardless of the severity of
the collision. It is advisable to carry
children in an appropriate restraint
system on the rear seat which is the
most protected position in the event
of an accident.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER If you
need to carry a baby on the
front passenger seat in a
cradle restraint system fac-
ing backwards, the passen-
ger side airbags (front and
side bags, where provided) must be
deactivated using the setup menu.
Check the warning light Fon the
instrument panel. Move the passen-
ger’s seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the cradle and
the dashboard.
WARNINGOver 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 includes child restraint
systems for each weight group. These de-
vices are recommended having been
specifically designed for Fiat cars.

Below is a summary of the rules of
safety to be followed for carrying
children:
1) The recommended position for in-
stalling child’s seat is on the rear seat, as
it is the most protected in the case of a
crash.
2) If the passenger’s air bag is deactivat-
ed always check the amber warning light
on the cluster to make sure that it has ac-
tually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions sup-
plied with the child restraint system which
are mandatory by law. Keep the instruc-
tions in the car along with the other pa-
pers and this handbook. Do not use child
seats without instructions.4) Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling the webbing.
5) Only one child is to be strapped to
each retaining system.
6) Always check the seat belts do not fit
around the child’s throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or release the belts.
8) Never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No-one, however strong, can
hold a child in the case of an accident.
9) In case of an accident, replace the
child’s seat with a new one.
Do not place a cradle seat
facing backwards on the
front seat if the passenger side airbag
is on. Deployment of the airbag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to
the baby regardless of the severity of
the collision. It is advisable to carry
children in an appropriate restraint
system on the rear seat which is the
most protected position in the event
of an accident.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is provided with front airbags for
the driver and the passenger.
The front driver / passenger air bags have
been designed to protect the occupants in
the event of head-on crashes of medium-
high severity, by placing the cushion be-
tween the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect
car’s occupants in front crashes and there-
fore non-activation in other types of col-
lisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-
overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the
bag inflate in the event of a frontal crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing
itself between the front occupant’s body
and the structures which could cause in-
jury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags 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.
The volume of front air bags at max. in-
flation fills most of the space between the
steering wheel and the driver and between
the dashboard and the passenger.
