on for about 15 minutes. If, during this period, a
door or the tailgate is opened, the 15 minute timing
is reset.
IMPORTANT On both sides of the sun visor there is
a label remembering that it is compulsory to
deactivate the airbags if a rearward facing child
restraint system is fitted. Always comply with the
instructions on the sun visor. (see the "Front airbags"

When over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view
of restraint systems, children are considered as
adults and wear seat belts normally.
In Europe the characteristics of children restraint
systems are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing
them into five weight groups:Group Weight groups
Group 0 up to 10 kg of weight
Group 0+ up to 13 kg of weight
Group 1 9-18 kg in weight
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg of weightAll child restraint devices must bear the certification
data, together with the control mark, on a label
solidly fixed to the seat which must never be
removed.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers child restraint systems for
each weight group. These devices are recommended
having been specifically designed for Fiat cars.
WARNING
SEVERE DANGER.When an active
passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install rear facing child restraint systems
on the front seat . Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the child regardless of the severity of the
impact . It is advisable to always carr y children
in a child restraint system on the rear seat ,
which is the most protected position in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that
it is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a
rear facing child restraint system is fitted.
Always comply with the instructions on the
passenger's side sun visor (see the "Front
airbag" paragraph).
WARNING
Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.

WARNING
Fit the child restraint system according
to the instructions, which must be
included.
Main recommendations to carry children
safely:
❒Install the child restraint systems on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position in the event
of an accident.
❒Keep children in rear facing restraint systems for as
long as possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.
❒Should a rear facing child restraint system be
installed on the rear seats, it is advisable to
position it as far forward as the position of the
front seat allows.
❒If the passenger's front airbag is deactivated always
check the warning light on the instrument panel
to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the child restraint manufacturer's
instruction supplied with the child restraint
system. Keep the instructions in the car along with
the other documents and this handbook. Do not
use second-hand child restraint systems without
instructions.
❒Only one child is to be strapped into each
retaining system; never carry two children using
one child restraint system.❒Always check that the seat belts do not interfere
with the child's throat.
❒Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
❒While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly
or unfasten the belts.
❒Never allow a child to put the belt's diagonal
section under an arm or behind their back.
❒Never carry children on your lap, even newborns.
No-one can restrain a child in the event of an
accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace the child
restraint system with a new one.

FRONT AIRBAGSThe car is fitted with front airbags for the driver and
the passenger, and with a knee bag on the driver's
side (for versions/markets, where provided).
The front driver/passenger airbags and the driver's
knee bag (for versions/markets, where provided)
have been designed to protect the front seat
occupants in the event of frontal impacts of
medium/high severity, by placing the bag between the
occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard.
Therefore non-deployment in other types of impacts
(side impacts, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not
indicate a system malfunction.
In the event of a frontal impact, an electronic control
unit triggers the inflation of the bags if required.
The cushions immediately inflate, placing themselves
between the front occupants' bodies and structures
that could cause injuries. Immediately after, the
cushions deflate.
The front driver/passenger airbags and the driver's
knee bag (for versions/markets, where provided) are
not a replacement for, but rather complement the
use of, seat belts, which should always be worn,
as specified by law in Europe and most non-European
countries.
In the event of an impact, those not wearing a seat
belt will move forward and come into contact with
the bag which is still inflating. The protection offered
by the bag is compromised in these circumstances.Front airbags may not be activated in the following
situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly deformable objects
not involving the front surface of the car (e.g.
wing collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒car wedging under other vehicles or protective
barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
Failure to activate in the conditions described above
is due to the fact that they may not provide any
additional protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would be inappropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does not indicate a
system malfunction.
WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dashboard
in the passenger side airbag area, on side
upholstery on the roof or on the seats. Never
put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger's side dashboard since they could
interfere with correct inflation of the airbag
and also cause serious injur y to the passengers.

FRONT AIRBAG DRIVER'S SIDE
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in
a special compartment in the centre of the steering
wheel fig. 112.
WARNING
Always drive with both hands on the
steering wheel so that , if the airbags
must be deployed, they may do so freely. Do not
drive with your body bent forward. Keep your
back straight against the backrest .FRONT AIRBAG PASSENGER'S SIDE
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 fig. 113.
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 max. inflation fills
most of the space between the steering wheel and
the driver and between the dashboard and the
passenger.
