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.
fig. 10F0H0136m
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
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

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).

SAFETY
FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is provided with front airbags for
the driver and passenger and window bags
(head protection system). It may be pro-
vided with optional front side bags.
The front driver / passenger air bags have
been designed to protect the occupants in
the event of head-on crashes of medium-
high severity, by placing the cushion be-
tween the occupant and the steering
wheel or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect ve-
hicle occupants in head-on crashes and
therefore non-activation in other types of
collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-
overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag
to inflate in the event of a head-on 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 are not
a replacement of but complementary to
the belts, which you are recommended to
always wear, as specified by law in Europe
and most non-European countries.
In the event of a collision, a person not
wearing a seat belt may be thrown for-
ward and con into contact with the bag
before it has fully opened. The protectionoffered by the cushion is reduced in such
a case.
Front air bag may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in collisions against highly deformable
objects not affecting the car front sur-
face (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, etc.);
❒jamming of the car underneath other
vehicles or protective barriers (e.g. un-
derneath a truck or a guard rail); in this
case, the bags would offer no addi-
tional protection with respect to the
seat belt and their deployment is un-
necessary. In these cases non-deploy-
ment of the airbag does not necessar-
ily indicate a system malfunction.
The front airbags (driver and passenger)
are designed and calibrated to protect
front seat occupants who are wearing seat
belts.
The volume of front air bags at max. in-
flation fills most of the space between the
steering wheel and the driver and between
the dashboard and the passenger.FRONT AIR BAG ON DRIVER’S
SIDE, Fig. 17
This consists of an instant inflating bag con-
tained in a special recess in the centre of
the steering wheel.fig. 17F0H0746m
