CHILD PROTECTION
SYSTEMSCARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY
75) 76) 77) 78) 79) 80) 81)
For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint
systems, including newborn and other
children! This prescription is
compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of 1.50
metres and until 12 years, must be
protected with suitable restraint
systems and be seated on the rear
seats.
Statistics on accidents indicate that the
rear seats give a better performance
when protecting children safety.
Compared with an adult, a child's head
is larger and heavier in proportion to
their body and the child's muscular and
bone structures are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems
other than adult seat belts are
necessary to reduce as much as
possible the risk of injuries in the event
of an accident, braking or sudden
manoeuvre.Children must be seated safely and
comfortably. Depending on the
characteristics of the child restraint
systems used, you are advised to keep
children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as
possible (at least until 3–4 years old),
since this is the most protected position
in the event of an impact.
The choice of the most suitable child
restraint system depends on the weight
and size of the child. It is recommended
to always choose the restraint system
most suitable for the child; for this
reason always refer to the Owner
Handbook provided with the child
restraint system, to be sure that it is of
the right type for the children it is
intended for.
In Europe the characteristics of child
restraint systems are ruled by the
regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group Weight rangeGroup0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9–18 kg
Group 2 15–25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori MOPAR
®includes child
restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are
recommended having been specifically
designed for Fiat vehicles.
500L PRO versionsIMPORTANT For this outfit the highway
code does NOT allow to carry children
regardless of the retaining system:
child restraint systems, universal ISOFIX
child restraint systems, seat belts.
This limitation is extended to the front
seats as well.FITTING A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
WITH SEAT BELTSThe Universal child restraint systems
installed with the seat belts only are
type-approved on the basis of the ECE
R44 standard and are divided into
various weight groups.
IMPORTANT The figures are indicative
and provided for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which
must be included.

FITTING AN ISOFIX
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
82) 83) 84) 85)
The car is equipped with ISOFIX
anchorages, a new standard which
makes fitting a child restraint system
quick, simple and safe.
The ISOFIX system allows the ISOFIX
child restraint systems to be fitted,
without using the vehicle's seat belt,
but directly securing the child restraint
system to three anchorages present on
the vehicle. Traditional child restraint
systems can be fitted alongside ISOFIX
child restraint systems on different
seats in the same vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, secure the restraint system to
the two metal anchorages A fig. 78
located where the rear seat cushion
meets the backrest, then fix the upper
strap (available together with the
restraint system) to the dedicated
anchorage B fig. 79 located at the
bottom behind the backrest.
500L Natural Power versions: should
the child restraint system anchorage
not be visible immediately, it is
recommended to remove the load
platform.
fig. 80 shows an example of a Universal
ISOFIX child restraint system for weight
group 1.IMPORTANT The fig. 80 is indicative
and for assembly purposes only. Fit the
child restraint system according to
the instructions, which must be
included.
NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system is used, only ECE R44
"ISOFIX Universal" (R44/03 or further
upgrades) type-approved child restraint
systems can be used.The other weight groups are covered
by specific ISOFIX child restraint
systems, which can be used only if
specifically tested for this vehicle (see
list of vehicles provided with the child
restraint system).

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
impact.
❒Keep children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as
possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.
❒Should a rearward 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
dedicated LED on the trim located on
the dashboard switches on, to make
sure that it has actually been
deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint system
itself. Keep the instructions in the
vehicle 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 restraint system; never carry
two children using one child restraint
system.
❒Always check that the seat belts do
not rest on the child’s neck.❒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 hold
a child in the case of an accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace
the child restraint system with a new
one.
WARNING
75)SEVERE DANGER When a front
passenger airbag is fitted, do not install
rearward facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the collision. 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 an
impact.
76)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if
a rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger's side sun visor (see
the "Supplementary Restraint System
(SRS) - Airbag" paragraph).77)Should it be necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front seat in a
rearward facing child restraint system, the
passenger side front airbag and side bag
must be deactivated through the display
main Menu (see the instructions in the
"Display" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter), verifying
deactivation by checking whether the LED
has switched on in the trim located
on the dashboard. Move the passenger's
seat as far back as possible to avoid
contact between the child restraint system
and the dashboard.
78)Do not adjust the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
79)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided
by the Manufacturer.
80)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. In this
way, in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
81)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove
the child restraint system before making
any adjustment.
