SAFETY157
GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the car seat belts di-
rectly fig. 4.
The child seat is needed only to position the child cor-
rectly with respect to the belts so that the diagonal sec-
tion crosses the child’s chest and never the neck, and the
lower part is snug on the pelvis not the abdomen.
GROUP 3
For children from 22 kg up to 36 kg suitable risers make
fastening the seat belt easier.
Figure 4 shows correct child seat positioning on the rear
seat. Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts
like adults.Below is a summary of the safety rules to be followed
when carrying children:
1) The recommended position for installing child seats
is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected area in
the event of a crash.
2) If the passenger air bag is deactivated always check
that the warning light “is lit on the instrument panel
to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system which the manufacturer must
provide. Keep the instructions in the car along with
the other documents and this handbook. Do not use
second-hand child seats without instructions.
4) Always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling
the strap.
5) Only one child is to be strapped into each retaining
system; never carry two children using one child seat.
6) Always check that the seat belts do not rest on the
child’s neck.
7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or
release the belts.
8) Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No-
one, however strong, can restrain a child in the event
of an accident.
9) In the event of an accident, replace the child’s seat
with a new one.
The figures are only examples for fitting
purposes. To install the child restraint, re-
fer to the instructions supplied with the
same. Child seats with Isofix attachments are
available for a safe anchoring to the seat without
using the car seat belts.

160SAFETY
“ISOFIX” CHILD RESTRAINT
ASSEMBLY SETUP
The car can be fitted with a Universal Isofix child re-
straint, a new European standardised system for carry-
ing children safely.
Isofix systems can be fitted alongside a traditional re-
straint system. An example of a child seat is shown in fig.
5. The Universal Isofix child seat covers weight group 1.
Specific Isofix child seats cover the other weight groups.
These seats must be designed, tested and type-approved
specifically for this car (refer to the list of cars attached
to the child seat).
Due to its different anchoring system, the child seat must
be anchored to the dedicated lower metal rings A-fig. 6,
set between rear seat backrest and rear cushion. After re-
moving the rear parcel shelf, secure the upper belt (pro-
vided with the child’s seat) to ring (after having opened
the associated covering zip B-fig. 6) located in the rear
seat backrest. Remember that, in the case of Universal Isofix child seats,
you can use all those seats bearing the marking ECE
R44/03 Universal Isofix.

SAFETY163
FRONT AIR BAGS
The car is provided with front air bags for the driver and
the passenger, driver’s knee air bag (for versions/markets
where provided) and front side bags (side bags – window
bags).
The front air bags (driver, passenger driver’s knee bag)
protect the occupants of the front seats in the event of
moderate to serious front impacts by positioning the bag
between the occupant and the steering wheel or the dash-
board.
Therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the bag inflate in the
event of a frontal impact.
The bag will inflate instantaneously placing itself be-
tween the front occupants body and the structures which
could cause injury. It will deflate immediately afterwards.
The front airbags (driver’s, passenger’s, driver’s knee air
bags) do not replace but rather complement the seat
belts, which you are always recommended to wear, as
specified by law in Europe and most non-European coun-
tries.
In the event of an impact, someone not wearing a seat belt
could move forward and come into contact with a bag
which is still in the opening phase. The protection offered
by the bag is reduced in such a case.The front air bags may not be activated in the following
situations:
❍front collisions against highly deformable objects not
affecting the front surface of the car (e.g. bumper col-
lision against guard rail, etc.);
❍car wedging under other vehicles or protective barri-
ers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they may not provide any additional protection compared
with seat belts, so their activation would be inappropri-
ate. Therefore, failure to come into action in the above
circumstances does not mean that the system is not work-
ing properly.
Do not apply stickers or other objects on the
steering wheel, on the dashboard in the pas-
senger side airbag area, on side upholstery
on roof and on the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mo-
bile phones) on the passenger’s side dashboard since
they could interfere with proper air bag inflation
and also cause serious injury to the passengers.

164SAFETY
The front air bags (driver, passenger, driver’s knee bags)
are designed and calibrated to protect front seat passen-
gers wearing seat belts.
Their volume at the moment of maximum inflation fills
most space between the steering wheel and the driver, be-
tween the lower post guard and the knees on passenger
side and between the dashboard and the passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor front
collisions (for which the restraining action of the seat
belts is sufficient). Safety belts must always be worn. In
the event of frontal impact they guarantee correct posi-
tioning of the passenger. FRONT AIR BAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 7
It consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a spe-
cial recess in the centre of the steering wheel.
FRONT AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE fig. 8
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in
a special recess in the dashboard: this bag has a larger
volume than that of the driver’s.

SAFETY169
With ignition key inserted, on MAR, even if
the engine is off, the air bags can activate
with the car stopped, if it is hit by another
vehicle. For this reason, children must never sit on
the front seat, even if the car is not moving. We re-
mind you that if the key is inserted and turned to
STOP, no safety device (air bag or pretensioner) is
activated following a collision; non-deployment in
such cases is consequently not the sign of a fault.
When the key is turned to MAR, the warn-
ing light “turns on, flashing for a few sec-
onds, to remind you that the passenger air
bag will activate in the event of a collision, then it
turns off.
Do not wash the seats with pressurized wa-
ter jets or steam (manually or at automatic
washing stations).
The front air bags deploy in the event of more
severe collisions than those required for de-
ploying the pretensioners. For collisions in
the range between the two activation thresholds,
pretensioner activation alone is normal.
Do not hook rigid objects to clothes hangers
and support handles.
The airbag does not replace seat belts; it in-
creases their effectiveness. Furthermore,
since front air bags are not deployed in low
speed collisions, side collisions, rear-end shunts or
roll-overs, the passengers are only protected by the
seat belts which must be fastened at all times.
