Below is a summary of the main safety rules
to be followed when carrying children
Main recommendations to carry children safely:
Install the child restraint systems on the rear seat,
which is the most protected position in the event
of an impact.
Keep children in rearward facing child restraint
systems for as long as possible, until 3–4 years
old if possible.
If the passenger's front airbag is deactivated always
check the
warning light always lighted on the
central dashboard fig. 117 to make sure that it has
actually been deactivated.
Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system. Keep the instructions in the
vehicle along with the other documents and this
handbook. Do not use second-hand child restraint
systems without instructions.
Only one child is to be strapped into each
restraint system; never carry two children using
one child restraint system.
Always check that the seat belts do not rest on
the child’s neck.
Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly
or unfasten the belts.
Never allow a child to put the belt's diagonal
section under an arm or behind their back.
Never carry children on your lap, even newborns.
No one can hold a child in the case of an accident.
If the vehicle has been involved in an accident
of medium-high severity, replace the child restraint
system with a new one. In addition, and
depending on the type of child restraint system
installed, replace the isofix anchorages or the seat
belt with which the child restraint system was
connected.
For any child restraint system mounted facing the
vehicle’s direction of travel on the external rear
seats, independently of its weight group, mount it
after removing the corresponding rear seat
headrest. This does NOT apply to child restraint
systems that consist only of a cushion (without
backrest). You should install such child restraint
systems when the corresponding headrest is
mounted.

frontal impacts against highly deformable objects
not involving the front surface of the vehicle (e.g.
wing collision against guard rail, etc.);
vehicle wedging under other vehicles or protective
barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
Failure to activate in the conditions described above
is due to the fact that they may not provide any
additional protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would be inappropriate. In these
cases, non-deployment does not indicate a system
malfunction.
WARNING
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 injur y
to the passengers.
The driver's and passenger's front airbags have been
designed and calibrated to protect front seat
occupants wearing seat belts. At their maximum
inflation, their volume fills most of the space
between the steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the event of minor
frontal impacts (for which the restraining actionof the seat belts is sufficient). Seat belts must always
be worn. In the event of frontal impacts they
guarantee correct positioning of the passenger.
FRONT AIRBAG DRIVER'S SIDE
It consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in a
special recess in the centre of the steering wheel
fig. 118.
PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This consists of an instantly inflating bag contained in
a special recess in the dashboard: fig. 119 this bag
has a larger volume than that of the driver.

SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, the vehicle may be fitted with
driver and passenger's front side bags.
Side bags protect occupants from side-on crashes of
medium/high severity by placing the bag between
the occupant and the internal parts of the side
structure of the vehicle.
Non-activation of side bags in other types of
collisions (front collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs,
etc.) is not a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate
in the event of a side-on collision. The bags inflate
instantaneously, placing themselves between the
occupant's body and the structures which could
cause injury. They deflate immediately afterwards.
Side bags are not a replacement of, but rather a
complement to, seat belts, which you are
recommended to wear at all times, as specified by
law in Europe and most non-European countries.
For this reason, the seat belt must be worn at all
times. In the case of side-on collisions, the seat belts
hold occupants in the correct position and prevent
them from being thrown out of the car by a very
violent collision.SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It consists of an instantly inflating bag housed in the
front seat backrest fig. 123. It protects the chest
and the pelvis of the passengers in the event of side
crashes of medium-high severity.
IMPORTANT In the event of a side crash, the system
provides best protection if the passenger sits on
the seat in a correct position, thus allowing correct
side bag deployment.
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at automatic
seat washing stations).

PARKING THE CAR
Proceed as follows:
stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
engage a gear (1stgear if parked uphill or reverse if

If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is
advisable to block the wheels with a wedge or stone.

Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.
petrol) or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front headlights.INTERIORS
Check regularly that water is not trapped under the
mats (from dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which
could cause the metal to rust.
WARNING
Never use flammable products, such as
petroleum ether or modified petrol,
to clean the inside of the vehicle.The
electrostatic charges which are generated by
rubbing during the cleaning operation may
cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle:
these could explode. Aerosol cans must
not be exposed to temperatures of more than
50°C .When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight ,
the temperature inside can greatly exceed
this value.
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
It is advisable to use a damp brush on velvet
upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge and a solution of water
and mild soap.
