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.
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 be
pulled forward or to either side easily on
the seat cushion after the seat belt has
been tightened, choose another
manufacturer’s child restraint system.
161) 162) 163)
NOTE Depending on the seating
position in the vehicle and the child
restraint system that you have, the child
restraint can be attached using one of
the following two locations:
Using the lower anchorage in the
rear seat ONLY if the child restraint has
ISOFIX mountings (Double Cab).
Using the seat belt.
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
142)When installing a child restraint
system, refer to the instructions provided
by the manufacturer of the restraint
system. Failure to do so can result in
severe or fatal injury to your child.
143)Follow the instructions for positioning,
fitting and removing which the
manufacturer must supply together with
the child restraint system.
144)It is recommended to fit the child
restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be included.145)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.
146)Fit the child restraint system only
when the vehicle is stationary.
147)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).
148)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.
149)Each child restraint device or fixing is
to be used only by one child.

SAFETY
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.
207)
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
condition of the anti-lock brake system
(ABS).
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
(where provided)
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps
prevent the wheels from locking up
when braking. This helps maintain
vehicle drivability and steering wheel
handling.
Driving hints
Always keep a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you. Even if your
vehicle is equipped with the ABS, leave
a greater braking distance when:
Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
Driving with tyre chains installed.
Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other
differences in surface height.
Driving on uneven road surfaces.
Operation of ABS is not restricted
situations where brakes are applied
suddenly. This system may also prevent
the wheels from locking when you drive
over manholes, steel roadwork plates,
road markings, or any uneven road
surface.
When the ABS is in use, you may feel
the brake pedal pulsation and the
vibrations of the vehicle body and
steering wheel. It may also feel as if the
pedal resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump the
brake, which will result in reduced
braking performance.
139
DRIVING, ALCOHOL
AND DRUGS
Drunk driving is one of the most
frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously
impaired even with blood alcohol levels
far below the legal minimum. If you
have been drinking, don’t drive. Ride
with a designated non-drinking driver,
call a cab or a friend, or use public
transportation. Drinking coffee or taking
a cold shower will not make you sober.
Similarly, prescription and
non-prescription drugs affect your
alertness, perception and reaction time.
Consult with your doctor or pharmacist
before driving while under the influence
of any of these medications.
226)
WARNING
226)NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE. Your
perceptions are less accurate, your reflexes
are slower and your judgment is impaired.
SAFE DRIVING
TECHNIQUES
Driving safety and protection against
injury cannot be fully ensured. However,
we recommend that you pay extra
attention to the following:
Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure
that you and your passengers have
fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats
227)
Carrying children in the vehicleNever leave your vehicle unattended
with the key and children inside the
vehicle. Children may play with the
driving controls and this could lead to
an accident.
Make sure that infants and small
children are properly restrained in
accordance with the laws andregulations, and for maximum
protection in case of an accident.
Prevent children from playing in the
luggage compartment. It is quite
dangerous to allow them to play there
while the vehicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to
load above the height of seats. This is
dangerous not only because rearward
vision will be obstructed, but also the
luggage may be projected into the
passenger compartment under hard
braking.
WARNING
227)Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suitable
for the vehicle. To prevent the floor mats
from slipping out of position, securely
retain them using the hook etc. Note that
laying a floor mat over a pedal or laying one
floor mat on top of another can obstruct
pedal operation and lead to a serious
accident.

Snow tyres
406)
223) 224)
The use of snow tyres is recommended
for driving on snow and ice. To preserve
driving stability, mount snow tyres of the
same size and tread pattern on all four
wheels. Snow tyres worn more than 50
% are no longer suitable for use as
snow tyres. The pattern depth shall be
at least 3mm (for markets / versions,
where provided). Snow tyres which do
not meet specifications must not be
used.
NOTE The laws and regulations
concerning snow tyres (driving speed,
required use, type, etc.) vary. Find out
and follow the laws and regulations in
the area you intend to drive.
NOTE If flange nuts are used on your
vehicle, change to tapered nuts when
steel wheels are used.NOTE For markets / versions, where
provided, the identification letters
indicated on the winter tyres provide
information on the permissible speeds
for M&S tyres:
QMS: up to 160 kph
TMS: up to 190 kphThe respective
maximum speed should absolutely be
observed and a signboard to be
introduced into the field of view of the
driver, in case the maximum vehicle
speed indicated in the vehicle
registration a certificate is greater.
Snow traction device
(tyre chains)
If snow traction device (tyre chains)
have to be used, ensure that they are
fitted only on the drive wheels (rear) in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
On 4WD vehicles in which the driving
power is distributed preferentially to the
rear wheels, ensure that the snow
traction device (Tyre chains) are fitted
on the rear. Use only snow traction
device (Tyre chains) which are designed
for use with the tyres mounted on the
vehicle: use of the incorrect size or type
of snow traction device (Tyre chains)
could result in damage to the vehicle
body. Contact a Fiat Dealership before
putting on snow traction device (tyre
chains). The max. snow traction device
(tyre chains) height is as follows.

When driving with snow traction device
(tyre chains) on the tyres, do not drive
faster than 50 km/h. When you reach
roads that are not covered in snow,
immediately remove the snow traction
device (tyre chains).
225) 226) 227) 228) 229) 230) 231) 232)
The laws and regulations concerning
the use of snow traction device (tyre
chains) vary. Always follow local laws
and regulations. In most countries, it is
prohibited by the law to use of snow
traction device (tyre chains) on roads
without snow.
WARNING
402)Driving with tyres that are worn,
damaged or improperly inflated can lead to
a loss of control or blow out of the tyres
which can result in a collision with serious
or fatal injury.
403)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
404)If the pressure is too low, the tyre will
overheat and could be seriously damaged.
