SEAT BELTS AND CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Rear
To raise the rear head restraint, pull up-
ward on the restraint until it clicks. To
lower the restraint, push down on the re-
straint while holding in the lock lever. If a
head restraint must be removed (for
cleaning, replacement, etc.), push in the
lock lever and pull the head restraint all
the way out.
When installing a child restraint system,
raise the head restraint to the most upper
position.

Wear Your Seat Belts at All
Times.
WARNING
An air bag supplements, or
adds to, the frontal crash
protection offered by seat belts. The
driver and all passengers must be
properly restrained by wearing seat
belts at all times, whether or not an
air bag is mounted at their seating po-
sition, to minimize the risk of severe
injury or death in the event of a crash.

Above the pelvis
Never allow persons to ride
in the cargo area of a vehi-
cle. In the event of an accident, there
is a much greater risk of injury for
persons who are not riding in a seat
with their seat belt securely fastened.

Seat belts should always be
adjusted as follows:
– The lap portion of the belt should
be worn low across the pelvis, not
across the waist.
– The shoulder straps should be worn
on the outside shoulder only, and nev-
er under the arm.
– The shoulder straps should be away
from your face and neck, but not
falling off your shoulder.
– Seat belts should never be worn
with the straps twisted and should be
adjusted as tightly as is comfortable
to provide the protection for which
they have been designed. A slack belt
will provide less protection than one
which is snug.
– Make sure that each seat belt buck-
le is inserted into the proper buckle
catch. It is possible to cross the buck-
les in the rear seat.
WARNING
65D199
Pregnant women should use
seat belts, although specific
recommendations about driving
should be made by the woman’s med-
ical advisor. Remember that the lap
portion of the belt should be worn as
low as possible across the hips, as
shown in the diagram.
Do not wear your seat belt over hard
or breakable objects in your pockets
or on your clothing. If an accident oc-
curs, objects such as glasses, pens, etc.
under the seat belt can cause injury.
WARNING
Never use the same seat belt
on more than one occupant
and never attach a seat belt over an
infant or child being held on an oc-
cupant’s lap. Such seat belt use could
cause serious injury in the event of an
accident.
Periodically inspect seat belt assem-
blies for excessive wear and damage.
Seat belts should be replaced if web-
bing becomes frayed, contaminated,
or damaged in any way. It is essential
to replace the entire seat belt as-
sembly after it has been worn in a se-
vere impact, even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious.
Children age 12 and under should ride
properly restrained in the rear seat.
Infants and small children should nev-
er be transported unless they are
properly restrained. Restraint systems
for infants and small children can be
purchased locally and should be used.
Make sure that the system you pur-
chase meets applicable safety stan-
dards. Read and follow all the direc-
tions provided by the manufacturer.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
Fiat highly recommends that you use a
child restraint system to restrain infants
and small children. Many different types of
child restraint systems are available; make
sure that the restraint system you select
meets applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by either seat
belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-
shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower
anchor bars built into the seat. Whenev-
er possible, Fiat recommends that child re-
straint systems be installed on the rear
seat. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained
in rear seating positions than in front seat-
ing positions. SEAT BELT INSPECTION
Periodically inspect the seat belts to make
sure they work properly and are not dam-
aged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages, and guide
loops. Replace any seat belts which do not
work properly or are damaged.
65D209S
Be sure to inspect all seat
belt assemblies after any col-
lision. Any seat belt assembly which
was in use during a collision (other
than a very minor one) should be re-
placed, even if damage to the assem-
bly is not obvious. Any seat belt as-
sembly which was not in use during
a collision should be replaced if it
does not function properly, it is dam-
aged in any way or the seat belt pre-
tensioners were activated (that is, if
the front air bags were activated).
WARNING
60G332S
Under no circumstances
should the components of
the seat belts and pretensioners be
tampered with or removed. Any op-
eration should be carried out by qual-
ified and authorised personnel. Al-
ways contact a Fiat Dealership.

(For EU countries)
When purchasing a child restraint and in-
stall it to your FIAT, refer to the infor-
mation about suitability for child restraints
shown in “Child Restraint System for EU
Countries” in this section.
The child restraint installation to this mod-
el is limited to the left position of the rear
seat except ISOFIX type child restraint of
the group 1; child weight 9 to 18kg.
NOTE Observe any statutory regulation
about child restraints.
If you must use a front-facing child re-
straint in the front passenger’s seat, adjust
the passenger’s seat as far back as possi-
ble.

Infant restraint - rear seat only
Child restraintBooster seat
If your vehicle is equipped
with a front passenger air
bag, do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s seat.
If the passenger’s air bag inflates, a
child in a rear-facing child restraint
could be killed or seriously injured.
The back of a rear-facing child re-
straint would be too close to the in-
flating air bag.
WARNING
65D361
The figure is only an exam-
ple for mounting. Attain to
the instructions for fastening which
must be enclosed with the specific
child restraining system you are using.
WARNING

39
If you install a child restraint
system in the rear seat, slide
the front seat for enough forward so
that the child’s feet do not contact
the front seatback. This will help
avoid injury to the child in the event
of an accident.
WARNING
Children could be endan-
gered in a crash if their child
restraints are not properly secured in
the vehicle. When installing a child re-
straint system, be sure to follow the
instructions below. Be sure to secure
the child in the restraint system ac-
cording to the manufacturer’s in-
structions.
WARNING
65D36265D363
If your vehicle is equipped
with side air bags, do not in-
stall a child restraint in the front pas-
senger’s seat. If the passenger’s side
air bag inflates, a child in a child re-
straint could be severely injured.
WARNING
In an accident or sudden
stop, the rear seat armrest (if
equipped) could fall forward. If there
is a child in a rear-facing child re-
straint in the rear center seating po-
sition, the falling armrest could injure
the child. Do not install a rear- facing
child restraint in the rear center seat-
ing position.
