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

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.

IMPORTANT
Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised
steam (wash by hand or at automatic seat washing
stations).
The front airbags and/or front side bags (for
versions/markets, where provided) may be deployed
if the car is subject to heavy collisions or accidents
involving the underbody area, such as for example
violent shocks against steps, kerbs or low obstacles,
car falling into big holes or sags in the road.
When the airbag deploys it emits a small amount of
dust: the dust is harmless and does not indicate
the beginning of a fire. The dust may irritate the skin
and eyes however: in this case, wash with neutral
soap and water.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement must be
carried out at a Fiat Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the airbag system
deactivated at a Fiat Dealership.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed according to
different logics on the basis of the type of collision.
Failure to deploy of one or more of the devices does
not indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
If the
warning light does not switch
on when the key is turned to MAR-ON,
or stays on while driving (on some versions
together with a message on the display) there
may be a fault in the restraint systems. In this
case, the airbags or the pretensioners may
not be activated in the case of an accident or
(in a lesser number of cases) they may be
activated incorrectly. Contact your Fiat
Dealership immediately to have this system
checked.
WARNING
On cars with side bags, do not cover the
front seat backrests with extra covers.
WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between
your lips (pipe, pencils, etc .): they could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed in an
accident .

WARNING
If the car has been stolen or in the case
of attempt to steal it , if it has been
subjected to vandalism or floods, have the
airbag system checked by a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
When the ignition key is inserted and
turned to MAR-ON, airbags may be
deployed if another car crashes into the vehicle,
even if the engine is not running and the car is
stationary.Therefore, even if the car is
stationary, when an active passenger airbag is
fitted, DO NOT install rearward facing child
restraint systems on the front passenger seat .
Deployment of the airbag following an impact
could cause fatal injuries to the child.Therefore,
always deactivate the passenger airbag when
a rearward facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger seat .The front
passenger seat must also be positioned back
as far as possible in order to avoid the child
restraint system from coming into contact with
the dashboard. Immediately reactivate the
passenger airbag as soon as the child restraint
system has been removed. Also remember that ,
if the key is turned to STOP, none of the safety
devices (airbags or pretensioners) will be
deployed in the event of collision. Non-
deployment in such cases does not indicate a
system malfunction.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR-ON, the warning light
(with
passenger's front airbag activated) turns on and
flashes for a few seconds to remind you that
the passenger's airbag will be deployed in a
crash, after which it should go off.
WARNING
The front airbag is designed to be
deployed for impacts of a greater
intensity than for the pretensioners. For impacts
whose intensity falls between the two
activation levels, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.
WARNING
The airbag does not replace seat belts
but increases their efficiency.
Furthermore, since front airbags are not
deployed in low-speed frontal impacts, side
impacts, rear shunts or roll-overs, the
passengers are protected only by the seat belts
which must therefore be fastened at all times.
