The head restraints must be
adjusted so that they sup-
port your head and not your neck.
Only in this way may they perform
their protective action.
WARNING
To optimise head restraint
protective action, adjust the
seat back upright and keep your head
as close as possible to the head re-
straint.
WARNING
To refit the head restraint,
arrange it the right way and
then proceed as for checking that it
is locked.
WARNING
Saddle-shaped rear head re-
straints optimise visibility
and must always be raised it when an
occupant is present.
WARNING
REAR VIEW MIRRORS
INTERNAL MIRROR
The mirror is fitted with a safety device
that causes its release in the event of a vi-
olent impact with the passenger.
It can be moved using the lever A-fig. 52
to two different positions: normal or
antiglare.
CHILD SUPERVISION MIRROR
(where fitted)
The mirror is located on the longitudinal
unit on the roof near the front ceiling light.
It allows the driver and passenger to su-
pervise the rear seats and keep children
sitting on the rear seats under control.
To use the mirror, move it from the fold-
away position B-fig. 53to position Cas
shown in the figure.

HOW TO KEEP THE
SEAT BELTS ALWAYS IN
EFFICIENT CONDITIONS
❒always use the belt with the tap taut
and never twisted; make sure that it is
free to run without impediments;
❒Replace the belt after a serious acci-
dent even if it does not appear dam-
aged. Always replace the belt if the
pretensioners where deployed.
❒To clean the belt, wash by hand with
water and mild soap, rinse and leave
to dry in the shade. Do not use strong
detergents, bleach, paints or any oth-
er substance which could damage the
belt fibres;
❒Keep the reels dry: correct operation
may only be ensured if the reels are
dry.
❒replace the seat belt when showing
significant wear or cut signs.
CARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY
For optimum protection in the event of
a crash, all passengers must be seated and
wearing adequate restraint systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
A child’s head is larger and heavier in pro-
portion to its body and the child’s mus-
cular and bone structures are not fully de-
veloped. For this reason, they require re-
straint systems which are different from
those used by adults to protect them in
the event of an accident. The research re-
sults in relation to the best protection for
children is illustrated in European Regu-
lation EEC-R44 which divides the restraint
systems into five groups in addition to
making their use compulsory:
Group 0 - up to 10 kg of weight
Group 0+ - up to 13 kg of weight
Group 1 9-18 kg of weight
Group 2 15-25 kg of weight
Group 3 22-36 kg of weightAs it may be noted, the groups overlap
partly and in fact, in commerce it is pos-
sible to find devices that cover more than
one weight group.
All child restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the con-
trol brand, on a solidly fixed label which
must absolutely never be removed.
When over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems, children
are considered as adults and have to wear
the standard seat belts.
Lineaccessori Fiat includes child restraint
systems for each weight group. These de-
vices are recommended having been
specifically designed for Fiat cars.
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.

SEVERE DANGER If you
need to carry a baby on the
front passenger seat in a
cradle restraint system fac-
ing 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 decel-
eration.
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.

assembly purposes only. Re-
fer to the instructions supplied with
the child restraint.
WARNING
Some child restraint systems
for weight group 0 and 1
have a rear attachment to the car
seat belts and its own seat belts for
securing the child. Due to their
weight, they may be dangerous if in-
correctly mounted (e.g. if fastened to
the car seat belts with a cushion in
between). Follow the assembly in-
structions carefully.
WARNING
fig. 11F0H0137m
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
have a rear attachment to the car
seat belts and its own seat belts for
securing the child. Due to their
weight, they may be dangerous if in-
correctly mounted (e.g. if fastened to
the car seat belts with a cushion in
between). Follow the assembly in-
structions carefully.

Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the car
seat belts directly. The child seat is only
needed to position the child correctly with
respect to the belts so that the diagonal
section crosses the child’s chest and nev-
er the neck and is snug on the hips not the
abdomen.

For children from 22 kg to 36 kg the size

tioning on the rear seat.
Children taller than 1.50 m can wear seat
belts like adults.

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 case
of a crash.
❒If the passenger’s air bag is deactivat-
ed 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 fas-
tened by pulling the webbing.
❒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, 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 carry-
ing children safely.
It is possible to fit either traditional re-
straint systems and “Isofix” restraint sys-
tems.
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 on-
ly if specifically designed, tested and ap-
proved for use on this car (see list of cars
attached to the child restraint).

Fit the child seat when the
car is stationary. The child
seat is correctly anchored to the
brackets when you hear the click. Fol-
low the instructions for assembly, dis-
assembly and positioning that the
manufacturer must supply with the
child seat.
WARNING
fig. 14F0H0019m
Due to its different anchoring system, an
Isofix child restraint must be anchored to
the proper lower metal rings A-fig. 15,
between rear seat back and cushion. The
upper belt (provided with the child re-
strain) must be then secured to ring D-
fig. 16set in the boot at child’s seat lev-
el.
fig. 16F0H0143m
Remember that in case of Universal Isofix
child restrain systems, you can only use all
those seats approved with the marking
ECE R44/03 “Universal Isofix”.
Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child seat is
available from Lineaccessori Fiat.
For any further details on installation/use,
refer to the “Instruction Manual” for the
child seat.
