SEVERE DANGER If you
need to carry a baby on the
front passenger seat in a
cradle restraint system fa-
cing backwards, the passen-
ger side airbags (front and
side bags, where provided) must be
deactivated using the setup menu.
Check the warning light on the in-
strument panel. Move the passenger
seat as far back as possible to avoid
contact between the child seat and
the dashboard.
WARNING
GROUP 0 and 0+ fig. 10
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing
backwards on a cradle seat, which, sup-
porting the head, does not induce stress
on the neck in the event of sharp decele-
ration.
The cradle seat must be withheld by the
seat belts of the car and the child must in
turn be withheld by the seat belts of the
cradle seat.

The figure is indicative for
assembly purposes only. Re-
fer to the instructions supplied with
the child restraint.
WARNING
Some child restraint systems
for weight group 0 and 1 ha-
ve a rear attachment to the car seat
belts and its own seat belts for secu-
ring the child. Due to their weight,
they may be dangerous if incorrectly
mounted (e.g. if fastened to the car
seat belts with a cushion in between).
Follow the assembly instructions ca-
refully.
WARNING

GROUP 1 fig. 11
Starting from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, chil-
dren may be carried facing forwards, with
seat fitted with front cushion, through
which the car seat belt restrains both child
and seat.
Some child restraint systems
for weight group 0 and 1 ha-
ve a rear attachment to the car seat
belts and its own seat belts for secu-
ring the child. Due to their weight,
they may be dangerous if incorrectly

SAFETY
Below is a summary of the
rules of safety to be followed for
carrying children:
❒The recommended position for in-
stalling child’s seat is on the rear seat,
as it is the most protected in the ca-
se of a crash.
❒If the passenger’s air bag is deactivated
always check the amber warning light
“on the cluster to make sure that it
has actually been deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions sup-
plied with the child restraint system
which are mandatory by law. Keep the
instructions in the car along with the
other papers and this handbook. Do
not use child seats without instruc-
tions.
❒Always check the seat belt is well fa-
stened by pulling the webbing.
❒Only one child is to be strapped to ea-
ch retaining system.
❒Always check the seat belts do not fit
around the child’s throat.
❒While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or release the belts.
❒Never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No-one, however strong,
can hold a child in the event of an ac-
cident.
❒In case of an accident, replace the
child’s seat with a new one.
Do not place a cradle seat
facing backwards on the
front seat if the passenger side airbag
is on. Deployment of the airbag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to
the baby regardless of the severity of
the collision. It is advisable to carry
children in an appropriate restraint
system on the rear seat which is the
most protected position in the event
of an accident.
WARNING
“ISOFIX” CHILD
RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUP
This car is preset for mounting the Uni-
versal Isofix child restraint system, a new
European standardised system for carrying
children safely.
It is possible to fit either traditional re-
straint systems and “Isofix” restraint sy-
stems.
An example of child seat is shown in
Fig. 14.
The Universal Isofix child’s seat covers
weight group: 1.
Specific Isofix systems are provided for the
other weight classes and may be used only
if specifically designed, tested and appro-
ved for use on this car (see list of cars at-
tached to the child restraint).

PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG
fig. 18
It consists of an instant-inflating cushion
contained into a special recess Ain the
dashboard, this cushion has a volume big-
ger than that of the driver.
The airbags are not deployed in the event
of collisions of low severity (for which the
withholding action of the seat belts is suf-
ficient). For this reason, the seat belt mu-
st be worn at all times. During side colli-
sions the seat belts hold passengers in the
correct position and prevent ejection
from the vehicle during very violent colli-
sions.
Do not apply stickers or
other objects on the steering
wheel in zone A-fig. 18, passenger si-
de airbag cover or side upholstery on
roof. Do not place objects on the pas-
senger side dashboard because these
could interfere with the correct ope-
ning of the airbag (e.g. mobile pho-
nes) and cause severe injury to occu-
pants.
WARNING
Do not arranged cradle
child restraints facing
backwards if the passenger’s airbag is
on. Deployment of the airbag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to
the baby.
WARNING
If the car is provided with a
front passenger airbag,
deactivate the airbag when
arranging a child restraint
seat on the front seat. Mo-
ve the passenger seat as far
back as possible to avoid contact
between the child seat and the dash-
board. Although this is not mandatory
by law, the air bag should be imme-
diately reactivated when children are
no longer carried to ensure better
protection for adults.

de bag (where provided), refer to
“”Multifunctional display” paragraph
in the “Dashboard and controls”
chapter.
WARNING
MANUAL DEACTIVATION OF
PASSENGER’S FRONT AIRBAG
AND SIDE BAG
(where provided)
Should it be absolutely necessary to carry
a child on the front seat, the passenger’s
front air bag and the Side Bag (where pro-
vided) can be deactivated.
The instrument panel warning light
“ill
stay on glowing steadily until reactiva-
ting the passenger’s front air bag and the
Side Bag (where provided).
SIDE AIRBAGS (Side
bags - Window bags)
(where provided)
SIDE BAGS fig. 19
The side bags are arranged in the front
seat backrests and inflate instantly to pro-
tect the chest of occupants in case of me-
dium-to-high severity crashes.
Side bags are not a replacement of but
complementary to the belts, which you
are recommended to always wear, as spe-
cified by law in Europe and most non-Eu-
ropean countries.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash,
you can obtain the best protection by the
system keeping a correct position on the
seat, allowing thus a correct window bag
unfolding.
Do not cover the backrest of
the front seats with covers
which are not suitable for use with si-
de bags.
WARNING
Lineaccessori Fiat has covers suitable for
seats with side bags.
WINDOW BAGS fig. 20
The window bags are accommodated in
the side roof upholstery and are covered
by special trimming. They protect the head
of front and rear occupants in case of si-
de collisions. The bags are very large.

driving (together with the message in
the multifunctional display, where
provided), a failure may have occur-
red in the restraint systems. In this ca-
se the air bags or pretensioners may
not be deployed after an impact or,
in a minor number of cases, they may
be deployed accidentally. Contact
Fiat Dealership immediately to have
the system checked before driving off.
WARNING
The failure of the warning li-
ght ¬is indicated by inter-
mittent blinking of the warning light
“that signals front passenger airbag
deactivated. The airbag system will
automatically deactivate the passen-
ger airbag (front and side, where pro-
vided). In this case, the warning light
¬may not indicate a fault in the sy-

u
❒If the vehicle is used under seve-
re conditions(e.g. towing of trailers
uphill or fully loaded vehicle): slow
down and stop the car if the warning
light stays on. Stop for 2 or 3 minu-
tes with the engine running and sligh-
tly accelerated to assist better coolant
circulation. Then switch the engine off.
