restraint system to the
lower anchorage
(ISOFIX child restraint
mountings) and tether
anchorage (Double cab)
Lower anchorage location
Your vehicle’s rear seat is fitted with
lower anchorages for attaching a child
restraint system with ISOFIX mountings.Tether anchorage location
There are 2 child restraint anchorage
points on the vertical panel, located
behind the rear seat.
These are for securing a child seat
tether strap to each of the 2 rear
seating positions in your vehicle.
159)
Child restraint systems
with ISOFIX mountings
(Double cab)
The child restraint system is designed
only for seats that incorporate lower
anchorages. Retain the child restraint
system using the lower anchorages.

SAFETY

168)Do not sit on the edge of the seat, or
sit with your lower legs too close to the
instrument panel, or lean head or chest
close to the steering wheel or instrument
panel. Do not put feet or legs on or against
the instrument panel.
169)Always drive with your hands on the
rim of the steering wheel so that the airbag
can inflate freely if required. Do not drive
with your body bent forward. Keep your
back straight against the backrest.
170)Place all infants and small children in
the rear seat and properly restrained using
an appropriate child restraint system. The
rear seat is the safest for infants and
children.
171)Infants and small children should
never be unrestrained, stand up against
the instrument panel or held in your arms
or on your lap. They could be seriously
injured or killed in a collision, including
when the airbag inflates. They should be
properly seated in an appropriate child
restraint system. See the “Child restraint”
section of this owner’s manual.
172)When there is an active passenger
airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing
child restraint systems on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the child
regardless of the severity of the impact.
Therefore, always deactivate the passenger
side 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 prevent 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.173)Older children should be seated,
properly wearing the seat belt, with an
appropriate booster seat if needed.
174)Extreme Hazard! NEVER use a
rearward facing child restraint on a seat
protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of
it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the
CHILD can occur.
175)Do not fit any accessory that makes
the indicator impossible to see, and do not
cover the indicator with a sticker. You
would not be able to verify the status of the
passenger airbag system.176)To reduce risk of serious or fatal
injury: always turn the ignition switch to the
“LOCK” position or put the operation mode
in OFF, before operating the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Failure
to do so could adversely affect the airbag
performance; Wait at least 60 seconds to
operate the front passenger’s airbag
ON-OFF switch after turning the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position or putting
the operation mode in OFF. The SRS
airbag system is designed to retain enough
voltage to deploy the airbag; Always
remove the key from the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch after operating that
switch. Failure to do so could lead to
improper position of the front passenger’s
airbag ON-OFF switch; Do not turn OFF
the front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch except when a child restraint
system is fitted to the front passenger seat;
If the OFF indicator does not come on
when the front passenger’s airbag ONOFF
switch is turned OFF, do not fit a child
restraint system to the front passenger
seat. We recommend you to have the
system inspected by a Fiat Dealership; if
the OFF indicator remains on when the
front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch is
turned ON, do not allow anyone to sit on
the front passenger seat. We recommend
you to have the system inspected by a Fiat
Dealership.
177)Do not apply stickers or other objects
to the steering wheel, the dashboard in the
passenger side airbag area and the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on
the passenger side of the dashboard since
they could interfere with correct inflation of
the passenger airbag and also cause
serious injury to the passengers.
135

198)If your vehicle has received any
damage, we recommend you to have the
SRS inspected to ensure it is in proper
working order.
199)On vehicles with the side airbag, do
not modify your front seats, centre pillar
and centre console. It can adversely affect
SRS performance and lead to possible
injury.
200)If you found any tear, scratch, crack
or damage to the portion where the airbag
is stored, you should have the SRS
inspected by a Fiat Dealership.ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
Brake assist system (where
provided)
The brake assist system is a device
assisting drivers who cannot depress
the brake pedal firmly such as in
emergency stop situations and provides
greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed
suddenly, the brakes will be applied
with more force than usual.
201)
NOTE Once the brake assist system is
operational, it maintains great braking
force even if the brake pedal is lightly
released. To stop its operation,
completely remove your foot from the
brake pedal.
NOTE When the brake assist system is
in use while driving, you may feel the
brake pedal attempt to resist, the pedal
moves in small motions in conjunction
with the operation noise, or the vehicle
body and the steering wheel vibrate.
This occurs when the brake assist
system is operating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue
to depress the brake pedal.
NOTE When the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) indicator lamp is
illuminated, the brake assist system
may not function.Emergency stop signal system
(where provided)
This is a device that reduces the
possibility of rear end collisions by the
rapid and automatic blinking of the
hazard warning lamps to alert vehicles
approaching from behind during
sudden braking. When the emergency
brake system operates, the hazard
warning indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster blinks rapidly at the
same time.
NOTE Activating condition for the
emergency brake system > It activates
when all of the following conditions are
met.
The vehicle speed is approximately
55 km/h or higher.
The brake pedal has been
depressed, and the system judges that
it was sudden braking from the vehicle
deceleration and the operating
condition of the anti-lock brake system
(ABS).
Deactivating condition for the
emergency brake system > It
deactivates when one of the following
conditions is met.
The brake pedal is released.
The hazard warning flasher switch is
pressed.
The system judges that it was not
sudden braking from the vehicle
deceleration and the operating
137
condition of the anti-lock brake system
(ABS).

Jack
The jack is used only for the purpose of
changing a tyre when a tyre is
punctured.
NOTE The jack is maintenance-free.
NOTE The jack is in conformity with EC
law as approximated by the Machinery
Directive 2006/42/EC.
NOTE The EC declaration of conformity
is attached to the section “Declaration
of Conformity” in the end of this
owner's manual. The business name,
full address of the manufacturer and of
his authorised representative and the
designation of the jack are described in
the EC declaration of conformity.
