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.

tal injuries to the baby. Always deac-
tivate the passenger’s airbag when
