The fabric upholstery of your
car is designed to withstand
normal wear and tear for
a long time. Some precau-
tions are needed though. Avoid pro-
longed and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as
metal buckles and Velcro strips which,
by applying a high pressure on the fab-
ric in a small area, could cause some
threads to break, thereby damaging
the upholstery.

SAFETY
For optimum protection in the event of
a crash, all passengers must be seated and
wearing adequate restraint systems.
This is even more important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EU
countries pursuant to Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with an adult, a child’s head is
larger and heavier in proportion to his/her
body and the child’s muscular and bone
structures are not fully developed. For this
reason, they require restraint systems
which are different from those used by
adults to protect them in the event of an
accident. The result of research in relation to the
best protection for children is illustrated
in European Regulation ECE-R44, which
divides the restraint systems into five
groups in addition to making their use
compulsory:
Group 0 up to 10 kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
As you can see, the groups overlap part-
ly and, in fact, there are devices on sale
that cover more than one weight group.
CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
All child restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the con-
trol brand, on a solidly fixed to the seat la-
bel which must never be removed.
When over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems, children
are considered as adults and have to wear
the standard seat belts.
Lineaccessori Fiat has child seats for each
weight group. These devices are recom-
mended, having been specifically designed
for Fiat cars.

GROUP 2
Starting from 15 kg to 25 kg in weight, chil-
dren may be restrained directly by the car
belts fig. 10. The only function of the seat
is to position the child correctly in rela-
tion to the belts, so that the diagonal part
adheres to the chest and not to the neck
and that the horizontal part fits over the
child’s hips and not the abdomen.
The diagram is only an indi-
cation. For assembly, refer to
the instructions supplied with the
child seat.
WARNING
Some child restraint systems
for weight groups 0 and 1
have a rear attachment and seat belts
for securing the child. Due to their
weight, they may be dangerous if in-
correctly mounted (e.g. if fastened to
the car seat belts with a cushion in
between). Follow the assembly in-
structions carefully.
WARNING
GROUP 3
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg,
there are boosters allowing the seatbelt
to fit correctly.
Fig. 11shows proper child seat posi-
tioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear
seat belts like adults.

SUITABILITY OF PASSENGER SEATS FOR CHILD SEAT USE
The car complies with the new European Directive 2000/3/EC which governs the
arrangement possibilities for child seats on the various seats of the car as shown in
the following table:Below is a summary of the safety
rules to be followed when carrying
children:
1) The recommended position for in-
stalling child seats is on the rear seat, as
it is the most protected area in the event
of a crash.
2) When disengaging the passenger
airbag, always check the amber warning
light on the instrument panel is perma-
nently on to make sure that the airbag has
actually been deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions that
came with the child seat, which the man-
ufacturer must supply by law. Keep the in-
structions in the car along with the other
documents and this handbook. Do not use
second hand child seats without instruc-
tions.
4) Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling on it.
5) Only one child is to be strapped into
each retaining system; never carry two
children using one child seat.
6) Always check the seat belts do not
rest on the child’s neck.
7) While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or release the belts.
8) Never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No one, however strong, can
hold a child in the event of an accident.
9) In the event of an accident, replace the
child seat with a new one.
