SECURING YOUR LOAD
To make it easier to secure your load, there are hooks (in
various quantities depending on the version) fixed to the
floor figs. 91-92.
Make sure that the objects are positioned
carefully and secured to the hooks on the
floor to prevent them flung forwards in the event
of sharp braking and causing injury to the pas-
sengers.
WARNING
The parcel shelf in its lower position may support a max-
imum load of 70 kg on a minimum resting surface of
400 mm x 400 mm.
N.B. There are bands on the rear seats under the cush-
ion to attach the folded seat to the front seat head re-
straint rods.

ABS SYSTEM
(for versions/markets where provided)
This is an integral part of the braking system, which pre-
vents one or more wheels from locking or slipping re-
gardless of the road surface conditions and braking action,
giving the best control during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking Force Distribution)
completes the system, allowing the braking action to be
distributed between the front and rear wheels.
WARNING For maximum efficiency of the braking sys-
tem, a bedding-in period of about 500 km is needed: dur-
ing this period it is better to avoid sharp, repeated and pro-
longed braking.
SYSTEM INTERVENTION
The driver can tell the ABS system has come into action
because the brake pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier: it means that the vehicle speed should be al-
tered to suit the type of road surface. Headlamp alignment adjustment
To adjust, press buttons Òandfig. 100 on the control
panel.
The display located on the instrument panel provides the
visual indication of the positions during the adjustment op-
eration.
Position 0 – one or two people in the front seats.
Position 1 – five people.
Position 2 – five people + load in the boot.
Position 3 – driver + maximum permitted load stowed in
the luggage compartment.
WARNING Check the light beam alignment every time
the load transported changes.
FOG LIGHT DIRECTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
Contact the Fiat Service Network to have the direction
checked and, if necessary, adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
The dipped headlamps are adjusted to work in the coun-
try where the vehicle was originally purchased. When in
countries where you drive on the other side of the road,
you need to alter the light beam direction by affixing a spe-
cially designed self-adhesive film in order not to dazzle the
vehicles travelling in the opposite direction. This film is
provided by Lineaccessori Fiat and is available at Fiat Ser-
vice Network.
When the ABS intervenes and you notice
the brake pedal pulsating, do not be afraid
to keep the pedal pushed down. This will help you
to stop in the shortest distance possible, depend-
ing on the road conditions.

MSR system
(engine drive regulator)
This is an integral part of the ASR system that, in the event
of a sudden gear down shift, cuts in and provides torque
to the engine thus preventing excessive drive wheel dri-
ve which, especially in poor grip conditions, can lead to
a loss of stability.
Engagement/disengagement of the ASR system
The ASR system switches on automatically each time the
engine is started.
When travelling, the ASR can be switched off and on again
by pressing switch fig. 101, which can be found between
the front seats to the side of the handbrake lever.
When the ASR is switched off, this is shown by the LED
on the switch coming on and by the relevant message ap-
pearing on the multifunction display, where provided. ASR SYSTEM (Anti-slip Regulator)
This is a traction control system that cuts in automatical-
ly every time one or both drive wheels slip.
Depending on the slipping conditions, two different con-
trol systems are activated:
❒if both drive wheels are slipping, the ASR function in-
tervenes by reducing the power transmitted by the en-
gine;
❒if the slipping only involves only one drive wheel, the
ASR system cuts in by automatically braking the wheel
that is slipping.
The action of the ASR system is especially useful in the fol-
lowing conditions:
❒slipping of the inner wheel when cornering due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or excessive accelera-
tion;
❒too much power transmitted to the wheels also in re-
lation to the conditions of the road surface;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy surfaces;
❒in the case of loss of grip on a wet surface (aquaplan-
ing).
For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be
the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size specified.

Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body
of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of move-
ment.
The reel may lock up when the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel mech-
anism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in the event
of sudden braking, collisions and high-speed bends.SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 110
Wear the belt keeping the torso upright and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A-fig. 1 and insert it
into buckle B until it locks into place.
If the seat belt jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then
pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the seat
belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it
from twisting.
SAFETY
Never press button C-fig. 110 when trav-
elling.
WARNING
All rear seats are fitted with inertia seat belts with three
anchor points and a reel.
Remember that, in the event of a violent
collision, back-seat passengers not wear-
ing seat belts represent a serious danger to the
front-seat passengers as well as to themselves.

The rear seat belts must be worn as shown in figs. 111a-
111b.
IMPORTANT The backrest is correctly secured when the
red band next to the levers A-fig. 112 disappears. This
red band indicates that the backrest is not secured.
Make sure the backrest is properly secured
at both sides (red bands B not visible) to
prevent it moving forward in the event of sharp
braking, causing injuries to passengers.
WARNING
IMPORTANT When putting the seats back to their nor-
mal position, make sure the seat belts are positioned so
they are ready to use.

IMPORTANT The belt must not be twisted. The upper
part must cross the shoulder and the chest diagonally.
The lower part must fit over the hips (as shown in fig.
114) rather than the abdomen of the passenger. Do not
use devices (clips, clamps, etc.) that prevent the belts from
being snug to the passenger’s body.
For maximum protection, keep the back-
rest straight: lean back into the backrest
and keep the seat belt fairly tight across the chest
and hips. Always fasten the seat belts on both the
front and the rear seats! Travelling without seat
belts will increase the risk of severe injury and even
death in the event of an accident.
Never disassemble or tamper with the seat belt
or pretensioner components. All operations must
be performed by qualified and authorised per-
sonnel. Always contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
IMPORTANT Each seat belt should be used by only one
person: never travel with a child sitting on the passen-
ger’s lap with a single belt to protect them both fig. 115.
Do not fasten other objects to the body.

INDEXDANGER: Do not put cradle seats facing
backwards on the front seat if the front
passenger airbag is enabled. Deployment
of the airbag in an accident could cause
fatal injuries to the child. It is advisable
to carry children on the rear seat, which is the
most protected position in the event of an acci-
dent. Child seats must not be fitted on the front
seat of vehicles with a passenger airbag; their de-
ployment in an accident, however serious, could
cause fatal injuries to the child. If necessary, chil-
dren can travel in the front seat, if the front pas-
senger airbag can be disabled. In this case, check
that the airbag is actually deactivated by mak-
ing sure the “warning light appears on the in-
strument panel (see “Front passenger airbag” in
the “Front airbags” section). Also, the passenger
seat should be as far back as possible to avoid
contact between the child seat and the dashboard.
WARNINGOver 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint
systems, children are considered as adults and wear seat
belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat has child seats for each weight group.
These devices are recommended, having been specifically
designed for Fiat vehicles.

GROUP 3
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg, there are boost-
ers allowing the seat belt to fit correctly.
Fig. 119 shows proper child seat positioning on the rear
seat. Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts
like adults.
GROUP 2
From 15 kg to 25 kg, children may be restrained directly
by the vehicle seat belts fig. 118. The only function of the
seat is to position the child correctly in relation to the
belts, so that the diagonal part fits over the chest and not
the neck, and that the horizontal part fits over the hips
and not the abdomen.
There are seats with Isofix hooks which
enable secure fastening to the seat with-
out using the vehicle’s seat belts. Follow the as-
sembly instructions carefully.
WARNING
The diagrams are indicative and provid-
ed for assembly purposes only. For as-
sembly, refer to the instructions mandatorily sup-
plied with the child seat.
