SAFETY
OCCUPANT PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety equipment of the
vehicle comprise the following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
front, side airbag (for versions/markets, where
provided).
Read the information given the following pages with
the utmost care.
It is of fundamental importance that the protection
systems are used in the correct way to guarantee the
maximum possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint adjustment
see the "Head restraints" paragraph in the "Knowing
your vehicle" chapter.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat belts with
three anchor points and a retractor.
The retractor mechanism operates locking the belt in
the event of sharp braking or strong deceleration
due to an impact.
This allows the belt strap to slide freely and to adapt
to the body of the occupant.
In the event of an accident, the belt will lock
reducing the risk of impact inside the passenger
compartment and of being projected outside the
vehicle. The driver is responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants of the vehicle
also respect, the local laws in force in relation to the
use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping the chest
straight and rested against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A fig. 113
and insert it into the buckle B, until it clicks into
place.
If the seat belt jams during removal, let it rewind for
a short stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.

slightly lift the handbrake and press release button
Afig. 134;
hold button A pressed and lower the lever. The
instrument panel warning light
will go out.
Press the brake pedal when carrying out this
operation to prevent the vehicle from moving
accidentally.
PARKING THE CAR
Proceed as follows:
stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
engage a gear (1stgear if parked uphill or reverse if
facing downhill) and leave the wheels turned.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is
advisable to block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
To prevent draining the battery, do not leave the
ignition key turned to MAR. Always remove the key
when you leave the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Always remove the ignition key when leaving the
vehicle, and take it with you.
SNOW TYRES
The Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice
concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the
customer's requirements.
For the type, pressures and specifications of the
snow tyre to be used, follow carefully the
instructions given in the “Wheels” paragraph of the
“Technical specifications” section.
The winter performance of these tyres is
considerably reduced when the tread thickness is less
than 4 mm. If this is the case, replace them.
Due to the specific characteristics of snow tyres, in
normal weather conditions or on long motorway
journeys, the performance of these tyres is lower
than that of standard tyres. Their usage should
therefore be restricted in accordance with their type
approval.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a
maximum speed index below the one that can be
reached by the vehicle (increased by 5%), place
a notice in the passenger compartment, plainly in
view, which states the maximum speed allowed
by the snow tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and profile)
to ensure greater safety when driving and braking
as well as making the car more responsive.
Remember that you should not change the rotation
direction of the tyres.

vehicle 12V socket. Remove the cap from the
valve of repaired tyre, disconnect and pull out the
black inflation tube fig. 154, connect it to the
valve and lock it with the lever. Inspect the
pressure gauge F to check the tyre pressure
fig. 153;
if the pressure indicated is lower than 1.8 bar / 26
psi, the TYRE IS TOO DAMAGED AND
CANNOT BE REPAIRED. Remove and place the
kit in the specific compartment and contact a Fiat
Dealership;
if the pressure indicated is equal to or higher than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, switch on the compressor and
reach the required pressure. Disconnect and
replace the kit in the specific compartment.
Carefully drive and reach the Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible;PRESSURE RESTORING
The compressor can also be used to check and, if
necessary, restore the tyre pressure. Disconnect and
pull out the black inflation tube, connect and block
it to the tyre valve fig. 154 with the lever. With
the same procedure it is possible to inflate bicycle
tyres and balloons. The kit should be used by adults
and cannot be used by children.
CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
Only use Fix&Go original cartridges which can be
purchased at Fiat Dealership. To remove the
cartridge, disengage the coupling of the black
inflation tube B fig. 155, rotate the cartridge
anticlockwise and then lift it; insert the new
cartridge, rotate it clockwise to end of travel
position, insert the coupling of the black inflation
tube blocking it with the stalk and then rewind the
transparent tube A in the compressor site.
