WARNING
For maximum safety, keep the back of
y
our seat upright , lean back into it
and make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and hips. Always fasten the seat belts
on both the front and the rear seats! Travelling
without seat belts will increase the risk of
severe injury and even death in the event of an
accident .
WARNING
Never disassemble or tamper with the
seat
belt or pretensioner components. All
operations must be performed by qualified and
authorised personnel. Always go to a Fiat
Dealership.IMPORTANT Each seat belt must be used by only
one person. Never travel with a child sitting on the
passenger's lap and a single belt to protect them
both fig. 101. In general, do not place any objects
between the person and the belt.
WARNING
If the belt has been subjected to heavy
s
tress, for example after an accident ,
it should be changed completely together with
the anchors, anchor fastening screws and the
pretensioner. In fact , even if the belt has no
visible defects, it could have lost its resilience.

All restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child seat which must never be
removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults
and wear seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat has child seats for each weight
group. These devices are recommended, having been
specifically designed for Fiat cars.WARNING
DANGER: Do not put cradle seats facing
backw
ards on the front seat if the front
passenger air bag is enabled.
Deployment of the air bag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to the child.
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 with a
passenger air bag; their deployment in
an accident , however serious, could cause fatal
injuries to the child. If necessary, children can
travel in the front seat , if the front passenger air
bag can be disabled. In this case, check that
the air bag is actually deactivated by making
sure the “ warning light appears on the
instrument panel (see “Front passenger air bag”
in the “Front air bags” section). Also, the
passenger seat should be as far back as possible
to avoid contact between the child seat and
the dashboard.

Below is a summary of the rules of safety to
be followed when carrying children:
❒Install the child seats on the rear seat, which is the
most protected position in the event of an
accident.
❒If the passenger's air bag is deactivated, always
check the amber warning light
on the
instrument panel to make sure that it has actually
been deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions that came with
the child seat, which the manufacturer must supply
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 fastened by
pulling on it.
❒Only one child is to be strapped into each seat;
never carry two children using one child seat.
❒Always check the seat belts do not rest on the
child's neck.
❒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 seat
with a new one.

ISOFIX CHILD SEAT ASSEMBLY
SETUP
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Provisions are made on some versions of the vehicle
to fit Universal Isofix child seats. Isofix is a new
European standardised system for carrying children
safely.Isofix systems can be fitted alongside traditional child
seats.
fig. 106 displays an example of a child seat.
The Universal Isofix child seat covers weight group 1.
Specific Isofix systems are provided for the other
weight groups and may be used only if specifically
designed, tested and approved for use on this vehicle
(see list attached to the child seat).
Due to its different attachment system, the child seat
must be secured using the dedicated lower metal
rings A fig. 107 , located between the rear cushion
and backrest. After removing the parcel shelf, secure
the upper belt (provided with the child seat) to the
dedicated ring B fig. 108 (one per side) located
behind the rear seat backrest.
Remember that in the case of Universal Isofix child
seats, you can use all seats approved with the
marking ECE R44/03 "Universal Isofix".

FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front airbags for driver and
passenger (for versions/markets where provided).
The front driver/passenger airbags (for versions/
markets, where provided) are designed to protect
the front-seat 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-activation in other types of crash (side-on
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is therefore
not a sign of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate, if
necessary, 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 injury. It will deflate
immediately afterwards.
Front driver/passenger airbags (for versions/markets,
where provided) are not a replacement for, but
rather a complement to, the seat belts, which should
be worn at all times as specified by law in Europe
and most non-European countries.
In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a
seat belt will move forward and come into contact
with the bag which is still opening. The protection
offered by the bag is reduced in such a case.
Front airbags may not be activated in the following
situations:❒head-on impacts against highly deformable objects
that do not affect the front surface of the vehicle
(e.g. front wing hitting a guard rail);
❒vehicle getting wedged under other vehicles or
protective barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they could not provide any additional protection
compared with seat belts, so their activation would
not be worthwhile. In these cases, non-deployment
of the airbag does not necessarily indicate a system
malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects to
t
he steering wheel, the dashboard in
the passenger side airbag area and the seats.
Do not place objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger side dashboard because these could
interfere with the correct opening of the airbag
and cause severe injur y to occupants.
The front driver and passenger airbags are designed
and calibrated to best protect front-seat passengers
wearing seat belts. The volume of the front airbags at
maximum inflation fills most of the space between
the steering wheel and the driver and between
the dashboard and the passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of small
head-on collisions (for which the withholding action
of the seat belts is sufficient). Seat belts must always
