It is possible to mount both the traditional
restraint system and the Isofix type one,
one on the left and the other on the right,
for example.
Since sizes are different, it is possible to
install max. two Isofix type seats on the
rear seats using the proper fastening de-
vices or three traditional child’s seats se-
cured by the seat belts. Only traditional
child’s seats can be installed on front seats.
Use only Isofix type child’s seats that have
been designed, experimented and ap-
proved expressly for this car.
Mount the child restraint
system only with the car sta-
tionary. The child restraint system is
properly anchored to the mounting
brackets when clicks are heard. In any
case, keep to the installation instruc-
tions that must be provided by the
child restraint system Manufacturer.
WARNINGPRESETTING
FOR MOUNTING THE
“ISOFIX TYPE” CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(where provided)
Fiat Panda is created preset for mounting
the Isofix type child restraint system, a
new European standardised child restraint
system. Isofix type is an additional option
that does not prevent from using tradi-
tional child restraint systems. Isofix type
child restraint system covers three groups:
0, 0+ and 1.
Due to its different anchoring system, the
child’s seat shall be anchored using the
proper metal brackets set between rear
seat back and cushion or in the rear seat
cover, identified by slots A-fig. 13.

FITTING THE ISOFIX TYPE
SEAT
0 and 0+ group
For children of this weight group (babies
up to 13 kg), the child’s seat is facing back-
wards and the child restrained by the
child’s seat belts D-fig. 14.
As the child grows, passing to weight
group 1, remove the child’s seat from the
base and refit it facing forwards.For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒check whether the release lever Bis at
rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets A, then po-
sition the child restraint system with
the fastening devices Caligned 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 safe-
ty mechanism actually inhibits improp-
er coupling with only one coupling
locked.

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to
the body by specialised personnel accord-
ing to any additional and/or integrative in-
formation supplied by the Manufacturer of
the device.
The towing device must meet current reg-
ulations with reference to 94/20/CEE Di-
rective and subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must match the towable weight of the car
on which it is to be installed.
For the electric connection a unified con-
nector should be used which is generally
placed on a special bracket normally fas-
tened to the towing device, and a special
ECU for external trailer light control shall
be installed on the car.
For the electric connection, a 7 pin
12VDC connection is to be used (CU-
NA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow
the instructions provided by the car man-
ufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufac-
turer.An electric brake should be supplied di-
rectly by the battery through a cable with
a cross section of no less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other de-
vice shall be used with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the
car electric system can only be connect-
ed 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
2. Do not exceed the speed limits of the
country you are driving in. In any case do
not exceed 100 km/h.
