27)Before driving, make sure that the rear
gate is securely closed. If the rear gate
opens while driving the vehicle, objects
stored in the cargo area could fall out onto
the road.
28)Once the dead lock system is engaged
it is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Therefore, before
engaging the system check that there is no
one left inside. If the remote control battery
is flat, the system can be disengaged only
by inserting the key metal insert in either of
the door locks as described previously: in
this case the device remains active only for
the rear doors.
29)This spring loaded system has
activation forces that were designed for
optimum comfort. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs and close the doors
spontaneously.
30)On vehicles with the rear bumper,
never swing down the rear gate because
the rear gate could be damaged.
31)Never close the rear gate with the link
or wire left unhooked.SEATS

seat cushions.

43)The reclining mechanism of the front
manual seat's seatback is spring loaded,
causing it to fold the seatback forward
when the lock lever is operated. When
using the lever, sit close to the seatback or
hold it with your hand to control its return
motion.
44)When sliding the seats, be careful not
to catch your hand or foot.
45)If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat, when sliding or reclining the seat
rearward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers.
46)If the following types of persons use
the heated seats, they might become too
hot or receive minor burns (red skin, heat
blisters, etc.): children, elderly or ill people,
people with sensitive skin, excessively tired
people, people under the influence of
alcohol or sleep inducing medication (cold
medicine, etc.).
IMPORTANT
10)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.11)Operate in the “HI” position for quick
heating. Once the seat is warm, set the
heater switch to the “LO” position to keep it
warm. Slight variations in seat temperature
may be felt while using the heated seats.
This is caused by the operation of the
heater’s internal thermostat and does not
indicate a malfunction.
12)Do not place heavy objects on the seat
or stick pins, needles, or other pointed
objects into it.
13)Do not use a blanket, cushion, or other
material with high heat insulation properties
on the seat while using the heater; this
might cause the heater element to
overheat.
14)Do not use benzine, kerosene, petrol,
alcohol or other organic solvents when
cleaning the seats. Doing so could damage
not only the seat cover, but also the heater
element.
15)If water or any other liquid is spilled on
the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly before
attempting to use the heater.
16)Turn the heater off immediately if it
appears to be malfunctioning during use.

WARNING
47)All adjustments must only be carried
out with the vehicle stationary and the
engine off. Head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only in this case can
they protect your head correctly. To take
best advantage of the protection provided
by the head restraint, adjust the seat back
so that you are sitting up straight and your
head is as close to the head restraint as
possible.
48)Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.
49)Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
50)When a person sits in the middle
seating position of the rear seat, pull up the
head restraint to a height at which it locks
in position. Be sure to make this
adjustment before starting to drive. Serious
injuries could otherwise be suffered in the
result of an impact (Double cab).
51)Make sure that the height adjusting
knob (A) is correctly adjusted as shown in
the illustration, and also lift the head
restraints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback.52)The shape and size of the head
restraint differs according to the seat.
Always use the correct head restraint
provided for the seat and do not install the
head restraint in the wrong direction.

SEAT BELT INSPECTION
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed
webbing and for cracked or deformed
metallic parts. Replace the belt
assembly if defective.
128) 129) 130)
64) 65) 66)
WARNING
117)Seat belts should always be worn by
every adult who drives or rides in this
vehicle, and by all children who are large
enough to wear seat belts properly. Other
children should always use proper child
restraint systems.
118)Always place the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never put it behind you or under your arm.
119)One seat belt should be used by only
one person. Doing otherwise can be
dangerous.120)The seat belt will provide maximum
protection if the recliner seatback is placed
in fully upright position. When the seatback
is reclined, there is greater risk that the
passenger will slide under the belt,
especially in a forward impact accident,
and may be injured by the belt or by
striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
121)Remove any twists when using the
belt.
122)Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if
you are wearing your seat belt. To do so
risks severe or fatal injury to your child in a
collision or sudden stop.
123)Always adjust the seat belt to a snug
fit.
124)Always wear the lap portion of the
belt over your hips.
125)Never push the button on the buckle
when travelling.
126)Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Pregnant
women should use the available seat belts.
This will reduce the likelihood of injury to
both the woman and the unborn child. The
lap belt should be worn across the thighs
and as snug against the hips as possible,
but not across the waist. Consult your
doctor if you have any additional questions
or concerns.
127)Never wear the lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against abdomen and
increase the risk of injury.128)Do not attempt to repair or replace
any part of the seat belt assemblies; we
recommend you to have this work done by
a Fiat Dealership. Incorrect repair or
replacement could reduce the
effectiveness of the belts and could result
in serious injury in the event of a collision.
129)Remember that, in the event of an
accident, the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
130)Make height adjustment of the seat
belts when the car is stationary.
IMPORTANT
62)No modifications or additions should be
made which will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove slack.
63)The seat belts must not be twisted
when worn.
64)We recommend you to have all seat
belt assemblies including retractors and
attaching hardware inspected after any
collision. We recommend that seat belt
assemblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
65)Once the pre-tensioner has activated, it
cannot be re-used. It must be replaced
together with the retractor.

“ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON while a seat belt is not
fastened, the warning lamp comes on
for approximately 30 seconds to remind
the rear passenger to fasten the seat
belt.
If the vehicle is driven with the seat belt
still unfastened, the warning lamps
come on for approximately another
30 seconds. (This illumination happens
only the first time the vehicle starts
moving with the seat belt still
unfastened.)
The warning lamps go off when the
seat belt is fastened.
NOTE The warning lamp comes on
even if no one is sitting on the rear
seats.
NOTE If a seat belt is unfastened while
the vehicle is being driven, the tone
sounds for approximately 1 second and
the warning lamp comes on for
approximately 30 seconds. At the same
time, the warning lamp for the seat
where the seat belt is not fastened
comes on.
NOTE If the seat belts are initially
fastened but a seat belt is unfastened
while the vehicle is stationary and the
vehicle is then driven with the seat belt
still unfastened, the warning lamp
comes on again for approximately
30 seconds.Adjustable seat belt anchor (front
seats of Club cab and Double cab)
The seat belt anchor height can be
adjusted. To move the anchor, pull the
lock knob (1) and slide the anchor to
the desired position. Release the lock
knob to lock the anchor into position.
131)
Lap belts
The lap belts should be adjusted by
holding the belt and latch plate at right
angles to each other, and then pulling
the belt as shown in the illustration to a
snug fit around the occupant.A — Tighten
B — Loosen
While holding the latch plate, insert the
latch plate into the buckle until a “click”
is heard.
IMPORTANT
68)Do not install any accessory or sticker
that makes the lamp difficult to see.
WARNING
131)When adjusting the seat belt anchor,
set it at a position that is sufficiently high so
that the belt will make full contact with your
shoulder but will not touch your neck.

Instructions:For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children
whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should
be used.
The child restraint system should be
appropriate for your child’s weight and
height and properly fit the vehicle. For a
higher degree of safety THE CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD BE
INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT
(Double cab and Club cab).
Before purchasing a child restraint
system, try installing it in the seat to
make sure there is a good fit. Because
of the location of the seat belt buckles
and the shape of the seat cushion, it
may be difficult to securely install some
manufacturer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can bepulled forward or to either side easily on
the seat cushion after the seat belt has
been tightened, choose another
manufacturer’s child restraint system.
155) 156) 157)
Older children
Children who have outgrown the child
restraint system should be seated in the
rear seat and wear combination lap
shoulder belt. The lap portion of the belt
should be snug and positioned low on
the abdomen so that it is below the top
of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt
could intrude into the child’s abdomen
during an accident and cause injury.
WARNING
137)Follow the instructions for positioning,
fitting and removing which the
manufacturer must supply together with
the child restraint system.
138)Fiat recommends fitting the child
restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be included.139)Do not place a rearward facing cradle
seat on the front seat if the passenger side
airbag is enabled. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the impact. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a
collision. If you need to carry a child on the
front passenger seat in a rearward facing
cradle seat, the passenger side airbags
(front and side bags for chest/ pelvis
protection, for versions/markets, where
provided) must be deactivated using the
setup menu. It is important to check the
dedicated LED on button on the instrument
panel to make sure that they are actually
deactivated. The 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.
140)Fit the child restraint system only
when the vehicle is stationary.
141)When possible, put children in the
rear seat. Accident statistics indicate that
children of all sizes and ages are safer
when properly restrained in the rear seat
rather than in the front seat (Club cab and
Double cab).
142)Holding a child in your arms is no
substitute for a restraint system. Failure to
use a proper restraint system can result in
severe or fatal injury to your child.
143)Each child restraint device or fixing is
to be used only by one child.
