SAFETY

ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SETUP
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Only for vehicles designed to carry
people, (homologation M1), provision
has been made on some versions to fit
a Universal Isofix child restraint system,
a new European standardised system
for carrying children safely.
Isofix systems can be fitted alongside a
traditional child restraint system. An
example of a child restraint system is
shown in fig. 134. The Universal Isofix
child restraint system covers weight
group 1. Specific Isofix child restraint
systems cover the other weight groups.
These seats must be designed, tested
and type-approved specifically for
this vehicle (refer to the list of vehicles
attached to the child restraint system).
Due to its different anchoring system,
the child restraint system must be
attached to the dedicated lower metal
rings A fig. 135, located between the
backrest and rear cushion. After
removing the rear parcel shelf
(if present), secure the upper belt
(provided with the child restraint
system) to ring B fig. 136 (one on each
side) located behind the rear seat
cushion.NoteTo prevent possible scoring of the
table seat backrest, with folded rear
seat (for versions/markets, where
provided), anchorage ring Isofix B fig.
136 (one on each side) is covered with
a cloth cap, to be removed for correctly
fastening the child restraint system.
Remember that when using a Universal
Isofix child restraint system, you can
only use approved child restraint
system with the marking ECE R44
(R44/03 or superior) “Universal Isofix”.
The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child
restraint system and the special "G 0/1"
one are available from Lineaccessori
Fiat.
For any further installation/usage
details, refer to the “Instruction Manual”
provided with the child restraint system.
