With front passenger’s air
bag active do not place cra-
dle child’s seats facing backwards on
the front passenger seat since the air
bag activation could cause serious in-
juries, even mortal regardless of the
seriousness of the crash. You are ad-
vised to carry children always on the
rear seat, as this is the most protect-
ed position in the case of a crash.
WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: Never
place cradle child’s seats on
the front passenger seat of
vehicles fitted with passen-
ger’s air bag since the air
bag activation could cause
serious injuries, even mortal. You are
advised to carry children always on
the rear seat, as this is the most pro-
tected position in the case of a crash.
In any case, children’s seats must ab-
solutely not be fitted on the front seat
of vehicles with passenger’s air bag,
which during inflation could cause se-
rious injury, even mortal, regardless
of the seriousness of the crash that
triggered it.
WARNINGOver 1.50 m in height, from the point of
view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and wear the seat
belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for each
weight group, which are the recommend-
ed choice, as they have been designed and
experimented specifically for Fiat vehicles.

GROUP 0 and 0+
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 is restrained by the vehicle seat
belts fig. 9and in turn it must restrain the
child with its own belts.
fig. 9F0P0310m
The figure is only an example for mounting. Attain to the instructions
for fastening which must be enclosed with the specific child restraining
system you are using.
WARNING
Seats exist which are suitable for covering weight groups 0 and 1 with
a rear connection to the vehicle belts and their own belts to restrain
the child. Due to their size, they can be dangerous if installed incorrectly fas-
tened to the vehicle belts with a cushion. Carefully follow the instructions for
installation provided with the seat.
WARNING

GROUP 2
Starting from 15 kg to 25 kg in weight, chil-
dren may be restrained directly by the ve-
hicle belts fig. 11. The only function of the
seat is to position the child correctly in re-
lation to the belts, so that the diagonal part
adheres to the chest and not to the neck
and that the horizontal part clings to the
child’s pelvis and not the abdomen. GROUP 1
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 vehicle seat belt restrains both
child and seat fig. 10.
The figure is only an exam-
ple for mounting. Attain to
the instructions for fastening which
must be enclosed with the specific
child restraining system you are using.

To sum up the safety precautions
to follow when
transporting children:
1) 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.
2) If the passenger’s air bag is deactivat-
ed always check the amber warning light
on the cluster to make sure that it has ac-
tually been deactivated.
3) Attain to the instructions for fastening
the specific child restraint system which
you are using. These instructions must be
provided by the manufacturer. Keep the
child restraint system installation instruc-
tions with the vehicle documents and with
this Handbook. Never use a child restraint
system without installation instructions.4) Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling the webbing.
5) Only one child is to be strapped to
each retaining system.
6) Always check the seat belts do not fit
around the child’s throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or release the belts.
8) Passengers should never carry children
on their laps. No-one, however strong
they are, can hold a child in the event of
a crash.
9) In case of an accident, replace the
child’s seat with a new one.
With front passenger’s air
bag active do not place cra-
dle child’s seats facing backwards on
the front passenger seat since the air
bag activation could cause serious in-
juries, even mortal regardless of the
seriousness of the crash. You are ad-
vised to carry children always on the
rear seat, as this is the most protect-
ed position in the case of a crash.
