28)Do not adjust the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
29)Make sure that the backrest is correctly
secured on both sides (red bands B not

the event of sharp braking, causing injuries
to passengers.30)In the event of an accident or sharp
braking, any object placed on the curtain
may be projected in the passenger
compartment, and risk to hurt the
occupants.
31)Abrupt braking or occasional impacts
may cause sudden movements of the load
with consequent situations of hazard for
the driver and passengers: before setting
off, secure the load tightly using the
partition and, where provided, the
appropriate hooks. For securing use
cables, ropes or belts strong enough to
hold the items to be secured.

remove any objects laid on it.
14)The dimensions of the platform permit
a maximum capacity of distributed weight
of 70 kg (in position 1) or 40 kg (in position
2): do not load objects with a higher
weight.
15)Do not place heavy objects on the
curtain to prevent damaging it.

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.

only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which
must be included.

Group 0 and 0+Infants up to 13 kg must be carried with
a backward facing child restraint
system of a type as shown in fig. 74
which, supporting the head, does not
induce stress on the neck in the event
of sudden decelerations.
The child restraint system is secured by
the vehicle seat belts, as shown in the
figure and it must restrain the child in
turn with its own belts.Group 1Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may
be carried in a forward facing child
restraint system fig. 75.Group 2Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the
vehicle seat belts directly fig. 76.In this case, the child restraint system is
used to position the child correctly
with respect to the seat belts so that
the diagonal belt section crosses the
child’s chest and not the neck, and the
lower part is snug on the pelvis not
the abdomen.
Group 3For children between 22 and 36 kg,
there are dedicated restraint systems
that allow the seat belt to be worn
correctly.
The fig. 77 shows the correct child
positioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear
seat belts like adults.

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).
