WARNING
104)Do not place a rearward facing
cradle seat on the front seat if the
passenger side airbag is enabled.
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 carry children
in a child restraint system on the
rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of
a collision. If you need to carry
a child on the front passenger
seat in a rearward facing cradle
seat, the passenger side airbags
(front and side bags for chest/
pelvis protection, for
versions/markets, where
provided) must be deactivated
using the setup menu. It is
important to check the dedicated
LED on button
on the
instrument panel to make sure
that they are actually deactivated.
The passenger seat must also bepositioned back as far as possible
in order to avoid the child
restraint system from coming into
contact with the dashboard.
105) The figures are indicative and
for assembly purposes only. Fit
the child restraint system
according to the instructions,
which must be included.
106) Some child restraint systems
for weight group 0 and 1 have a
rear attachment to the car seat
belts and its own seat belts for
securing the child. Due to their
weight, they may be dangerous if
incorrectly mounted (e.g. if
fastened to the vehicle seat belts
placing a cushion in between).
Follow the assembly instructions
carefully.
SETUP FOR
“UNIVERSAL
ISOFIX” CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEMProvision has been made on the vehicle
to fit Universal Isofix child restraint
systems, a new European standardised
system for carrying children safely.
An example of a child restraint system

Page 159 of 367
Due to its different attachment system,
the child restraint system must be
secured using the special lower metal
rings A fig. 162, positioned between
rear backrest and cushion. The upper
belt (provided with the child restraint
system) must be then secured to ring B
fig. 163 located in the lower part of
the seat. It is possible to have a mixed
assembly of traditional child restraint
systems and Universal Isofix ones.
Remember that in case of Universal
Isofix child restraint systems, you can
use all those approved with the marking
ECE R44/03 “Universal Isofix”.

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE
AIRBAG AND CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
111)
ALWAYScomply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger
side sun visor.Manual deactivation of
front passenger side
airbag and side bag
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If a child must of necessity be carried
on the front seat facing backwards, the
front passenger side airbag and side
bag for chest protection (for
versions/markets where provided) can
be deactivated.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the
passenger side front airbag and side
bag for chest protection (for
versions/markets where provided), refer
to the "Display" paragraph in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter. The LED on the button
switches on in case of deactivation.
The LED next to the
fig. 166 symbol
on the dashboard shows the passenger
side protection status. If the LED is off,
the passenger side protection is
activated.When the passenger side front airbag
and side bag for chest protection
(for versions/markets where provided)
are activated again, the LED switches
off.
When the vehicle is started (key in
MAR-ON position), the LED turns on for
approx. 8 seconds, provided that at
least 5 seconds have elapsed from the
previous switching off. If not, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
If the vehicle is switched off/on again in
less than 5 seconds the LED may
remain off. In this case, to check
correct LED operation, switch the
vehicle off, wait at least 5 seconds and
switch on again.
During the first 8 seconds, the
activation of the LED does not actually
show the passenger protection status,
but only checks its correct operation.
The LED is tested also for markets
where the passenger protection
deactivation is not provided, and the
LED switches on for less than one
second when the key is turned to
MAR-ON, and then switches off again.

WARNING
110) Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steering wheel, the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area and
the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger side of the dashboard since they could interfere
with correct inflation of the passenger airbag and also cause serious injury to the passengers.
111) 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. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger airbag when a rear 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 prevent
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.
