SEVERE DANGER: Do not
arrange child seats facing
backwards on the front seat
if the passenger’s airbag is on.
Deployment of the airbag in
the event of a shock could cause fa-
tal injuries to the baby. It is advisable
to carry children on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position
in the event of an accident. Child
seats must not be fitted on the front
seat of vehicles provided with a pas-
senger’s airbag, whose deployment in
an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the baby regardless of how severe
the shock causing airbag deployment
is. If necessary, children can sit on the
front seat in vehicles where the pas-
senger’s airbag can be disabled. Ver-
ify that the airbag is actually deacti-
vated, observing the warning light
“on the dashboard (see “Front airbag
- passenger’s side” in paragraph
“Front airbags”). Move the passen-
ger’s seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the child seat
and the dashboard.
WARNING
GROUP 0 and 0+
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 decel-
eration.
The cradle is restrained by the vehicle seat
belts, as shown in fig. 7and in turn it must
restrain the child with its own belts.GROUP 1
From 9 kg to 18 kg in weight, children may
be carried facing forwards seated on child
seats fitted with a front cushion. With
these seats the vehicle seat belt is used
to restrain both child and seat, fig. 8.

The figures are indicative for
assembly purposes only. Re-
fer to the instructions supplied with
the child seat.

SAFETY
Below is a summary of the safety
rules to be followed for carrying chil-
dren.
❒Install the child seats on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position in
the event of an accident.
❒If the passenger’s airbag is deactivated,
always check the warning light
“on the
instrument panel 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 vehicle along with
the other papers and this handbook. Do
not use child seats without instructions.❒Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling the belt.
❒Only one child is to be strapped to each
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 can hold a child in
the event of an accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace the
child’s seat with a new one.
Do not arrange child seats on
the front seat in vehicles fit-
ted with a passenger’s airbag. Chil-
dren must never travel on the front
seat.
WARNING
ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUP
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Provision has been made on the vehicle
for mounting a Universal Isofix child re-
straint system, a new European standard-
ised system for carrying children safely.
Isofix systems can be mounted simultane-
ously with a traditional restraint system.
An example of child seat is shown in
fig. 11. The Universal Isofix child seat cov-
ers weight group: 1.
The other weight groups are covered by
specific Isofix child seats, which can be
used only if specifically designed, tested
and type-approved for this vehicle (see ve-
hicle list provided with the child seat).

FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is provided with front airbags
for the driver and the passenger (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front airbags on both the driver’s and
passenger’s side (for versions/markets,
where provided) have been designed to
protect the occupants in the event of
head-on crashes of medium-high severity,
by placing the bag between the occupant
and the steering wheel or dashboard.
Non-deployment of the airbags in other
types of collisions (side collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not neces-
sarily indicate a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag
to inflate in the event of a front crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing
itself between the front occupant’s body
and the structures which could cause in-
jury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
Driver and passenger front airbags (for
versions/markets, where provided) are
not a replacement of, but complementary
to, the seat belts, which you are recom-
mended to always wear as specified by law
in Europe and most non-European coun-
tries.In the event of a collision, a person not
wearing the seat belt may be thrown for-
ward and come into contact with the bag
before it has fully opened. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in such a
case.
Front airbags may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in front collisions against highly de-
formable objects which do not affect
the front surface of the vehicle (e.g.
bumper collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒vehicle penetration under other vehi-
cles or protective barriers (e.g. trucks
or guard rails);
they could not provide any additional pro-
tection compared with seat belts, so their
deployment would be improper. In these
cases non-deployment of the airbag does
not necessarily indicate a system malfunc-
tion.Do not apply stickers or oth-
er objects on the steering
wheel, on the dashboard (in passen-
ger side airbag area) and on the seats.
Do not place objects (e.g. cell phones)
on the passenger’s side dashboard be-
cause these could interfere with cor-
rect deployment of the passenger’s
airbag and cause severe injury to ve-
hicle occupants.
WARNING
The front airbags on the driver’s and pas-
senger’s sides are designed and calibrated
to protect the front seat passengers who
wear safety belts.
The volume of the front airbags at max.
inflation fills most of the space between
the steering wheel and the driver and be-
tween the dashboard and the passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event
of front collisions of low severity (for
which the withholding action of the seat
belts is sufficient). Safety belts must always
be worn. In the event of a front crash they
ensure the correct positioning of the oc-
cupant.
