FUEL CUT OFF SWITCH
The switch is located on the bottom of the
car, near the pillar on passenger side.
Move the carpet aside to reach the switch.
It is tipped by a crash and cuts off the fu-
el feed, thus stopping the engine.
When the device is activated the warn-
ing light turns on together with the rele-
vant message on the reconfigurable mul-
tifunctional display (where provided).
Inspect the car carefully for fuel leakages
(e.g. in the engine compartment), under
the car or near the fuel tank. Press button A-fig. 84to reactivate the
fuel feed system and turn the lights on if
no leakage is found and the car is worthy
of resuming travel.
After the accident, remember to turn the
ignition key to STOPto prevent draining
the battery.

If, after a crash, you smell fu-
el or see leaks from the fuel
system, do not reset the switch to
avoid fine risk.

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).

STARTING
AND DRIVING
Respect the speed limits specific for each
country for vehicles towing trailers. In all
cases, the top speed must not exceed 100
km/h.
The ABS with which the car
may be equipped will not
control the braking system of the
trailer. Particular caution is required
on slippery roads.
Never modify the braking
system of the car to control
the trailer brake. The trailer braking
system must be fully independent
from the hydraulic system of the car.
WARNING
WARNING
INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to
the body by specialised personnel ac-
cording to any additional and/or integra-
tive information supplied by the Manufac-
turer of the device.
The towing device must meet current reg-
ulations with reference to 94/20/EC Di-
rective and subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must match the towable weight of the car
on which it is to be installed.
For the electric connection a unified con-
nector should be used which is generally
placed on a special bracket normally fas-
tened to the towing device, and a special
ECU for external trailer light control shall
be installed on the car. For the electrical connection, 7 or 13 pin
12VDC connection is to be used (CU-
NA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow
the instructions provided by the car man-
ufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufac-
turer.
An electric brake should be supplied di-
rectly by the battery through a cable with
a cross section of no less than 2.5 mm2,5.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other de-
vice shall be used with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the
car’s electric system can only be con-
nected to the supply cable for an electric
brake and to the cable for an internal light,
though not above 15W.
For connections use the preset control
unit with battery cable no less than 2.5
mm
