78)When the child restraint system is not used, secure it with the seat belt or with the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from the vehicle. Do
not leave it unsecured inside the passenger compartment. This way, in the case of sudden braking or an accident, it will not cause injuries
to the occupants.
79)After installing a child restraint system, do not move the seat: always remove the child restraint system before making any adjustment.
80)Always make sure that the diagonal section of the seat belt does not pass under the arms or behind the back of the child. In the event of
an accident the seat belt will not be able to secure the child, with the risk of injury, including fatal injury. Therefore the child must always wear
the seat belt correctly.
81)The figures are only examples for fitting purposes. Fit the child restraint system according to the instructions, which must be included.

SAFETY
INSTALLING AN
ISOFIX SEAT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
82) 83)
On some versions the external rear
seats are equipped with ISOFIX
attachments, for fitting child restraint
systems quickly, simply and safely.The ISOFIX system lets you install the
ISOFIX child restraining system without
using the vehicle seat belts but
connecting them directly to the car seat
with three anchors in the vehicle.
Traditional child restraint systems can
be fitted alongside Isofix child restraint
systems on different seats in the same
vehicle.
As an example, fig. 94 shows an
example of a Universal Isofix child
restraint system for weight group: 1.
IMPORTANT The fig. 94 is indicative
and for assembly purposes only. Fit the
child restraint system according to
the instructions, which must be
included.To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach it to the two metal
anchorages A fig. 95 located where the
rear seat cushion meets the backrest,
then fix the upper strap (available
together with the restraint system) to
the dedicated anchorage B fig. 96
located at the bottom behind the
backrest.
Remember that, in the case of
Universal Isofix child seats, you can use
all seats bearing the marking ECE
R44 (R44/03 or later updates)
"Universal Isofix".
The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child
seat is available from Lineaccessori
MOPAR.
For any further details on installation/
use, refer to the instruction manual for
the child restraint system.

NOTE The other weight groups are covered by specific ISOFIX child restraint systems, which can be used only if specifically
tested and approved for this vehicle (see list of vehicles provided with the child restraint system).

SAFETY
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 to make sure that
it has actually been deactivated fig. 97.
Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint system.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle
along with the other papers 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 a crash.
If the vehicle has been involved in a
road accident, 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.
The rear head restraint can be
removed if needed to install a child
restraint system. The headrest must
always be fitted in the vehicle if the seat
is used by an adult passenger or a
child sitting in a restraint system without
a backrest.
WARNING
82)Fit the child restraint system only when
the vehicle is stationary. The child restraint
system is correctly fixed to the brackets
when you hear the click. Follow the
instructions for positioning, fitting and
removing which the child restraint system
manufacturer must supply together with
the restraint system. If a Universal/ISOFIX
child restraint system is not fixed to all
three anchorages, it will not be able to
protect the child correctly. In a crash, the
child could be seriously or fatally injured.
83)Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child restraint
system.
