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:GroupWeight 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

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.

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.
