Mount the child re-
straint system only with
the car stationary. The
Isofix child restraint system is
properly anchored to the mount-
ing brackets when clicks are
heard. In any case, keep to the in-
stallation instructions that must
be provided by the child restraint
system’s Manufacturer.The Kiddy Type Isofix seat can how-
ever be fitted to the front passenger
seat even if not provided with Isofix
mounts: in this case, the child’s seat
must be fastened by means of the
three-anchoring point seat belt both
in the ahead and backward positions
The Type Isofix child’s seat covers
three weight groups: 0, 0+and 1.
Fitting the seat for the 0
and 0+ group fig. 71
For children included in groups 0and
0+, the restraint system faces back
(for children with weight up to 13 kg)
and the child is held by the restraint
system belts D.
Proceed as follows to fit the child re-
straint system in the correct way:
– the release lever Bmust be at rest
position (inward);
– find the presetting brackets A, then
position the child restraint system with
the fastening devices Caligned with
the brackets;– push the child restraint system un-
til hearing the locking clicks;
– check proper locking by moving
the child’s seat with force: the built-
in safety mechanism actually inhibit im-
proper coupling with only one cou-
pling locked.

As the child grows, passing to the
next weight group (group 1) the child
safety chair must be fitted in the ahead
direction; perform this operation by
following the instructions provided by
the child seat’s Manufacturer.
With the child’s seat in this position,
adjust the corresponding front seat in
such a way that the Kiddy Isofix seat
structure leans against the front seat
backrest.

For proper mounting proceed as fol-
lows:
– 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 Caligned with
the brackets;
– push the child restraint system un-
til hearing the locking clicks;With the child seat in this position,
the corresponding front seat must be
positioned halfway the sliding guides
travel, with the backrest in vertical po-
sition.

– for seats positioned facing the run-
ning direction, fasten the upper belt (in
the upper seat pocket) to the ring A-
fig. 72located on the floor immedi-
ately behind the seat:
– check proper locking by moving
the child’s seat with force: the built-
in safety mechanism actually inhibit im-
proper coupling with only one cou-
pling locked.
With this configuration, the child is
secured also by the car seat belts

Warning light ucomes on when the
coolant is too hot.
Even travelling too slowly when the
outside temperature is very hot can
cause the needle to approach the red
sector. In this case it is better to stop
and turn off the engine. After a few
moments you can start the engine
again and accelerate slightly.
FUEL GAUGE
This gauge indicates the litres of fu-
el present in the tank.
When warning light Kcomes on, it
indicates that between 5 and 8 litres
of fuel are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank al-
most empty: the gaps in fuel delivery
could damage the catalyser.

If the needle is in the red zone, it
shows your vehicle is overrevving.
This is only acceptable for a few mo-
ments.
IMPORTANTThe electronic in-
jection control system cuts off the
flow of fuel when the engine is “over-
revving”. This will lead to a loss of en-
gine power.
When the engine is running idle, the
revolution counter can indicate a
gradual or sudden revolution in-
crease. This is normal and should not
worry you, since it usually happens
during normal operations, such as the
climate system activation or the fan
activation. In particular, a slow revo-
lution variation is needed to preserve
the battery charge.
ENGINE COOLANT
TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Under normal conditions, the needle
of the temperature gauge should hov-
er around the middle of the scale. If
it approaches the red section it means
the engine is being overtaxed and you
should reduce your demands on it.D– button for canceling the function
