FITTING THE ISOFIX TYPE CHILD’S SEAT
Groups 0 and 0+
For children of the 0, 0+ weight group (babies up to 13 kg), the child’s
seat is facing backwards and the child is restrained by the child’s seat
belts (D).
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒move the seat where you want to install the child’s seat completely
forward and set the front seat with the back in touch with the child’s
seat profile;
❒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;
❒check proper locking by moving the child’s seat with force: the built-in
safety mechanism actually inhibits improper coupling with only one
coupling locked.

Group 1
As the child grows, passing to weight group 1 (9-18 kg), refit the child’s
seat facing forwards following the installation instructions.
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒move the seat where you want to install the child’s seat completely
backwards;
❒check whether the release lever (B) is at rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets (A), then position the child restraint

❒push the child restraint system until hearing locking clicks;
❒check proper locking by moving the child’s seat with force: the built-in
safety mechanism actually inhibits improper coupling with only one
coupling locked.
With this configuration, the child is secured 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 handbook.
Adjust the front seat position moving it to half forward position.

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.

deactivated.For the electrical connection, a 7 pin 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.

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 the preset control unit with
battery cable no less than 2.5 mm

Certain fuses are protected by a plastic grid.
To replace these fuses, first of all remove the grid
using a screwdriver. Replace the blown fuse and refit
the plastic grid.
To locate the fuse, refer to the tables on the following
pages.
FUSE BOX
The fuse box is located under the oddments tray on
the driver’s side.
The fuse location (n. 16 to n. 28) is not binding; to
replace a blown fuse, refer to the fuse colour that
must be the same as the fuse box colour.
To reach the fuses:
❒Raise the oddments tray compartment flap.
F0E0694m
The numbers indicating the electrical components
corresponding to each fuse can be seen on the inside
of the flap inner wall.
❒Take out the inner cover, rotating the two knobs
(A).
The group of fuses marked with letter (B) contains
spare filaments.
To facilitate fuse replacement, use the pliers (C)
located near the fuse box.
After use return pliers to their place.
IMPORTANT Never turn the ignition key to MAR
with a fuse removed; doing so would turn on warning
light
¬and the “fault” would be stored by the airbag
control unit. In such an event, go to Fiat Dealership to
reset the fault stored on the airbag control unit.
