ISOFIX FASTENING
SYSTEM
Authorised child seats are approved
according to the ECE-R44 law in one of
the three following cases:
universal ISOFIX with 3 couplings
facing forward;
semi-universal ISOFIX with
2 couplings;
specific.
For the last two, check that your child
restraint system can be installed by
referring to the list of compatible
vehicles.
Fit the child restraint system with the
ISOFIX anchors, where provided. The
ISOFIX system ensures simple, fast and
safe installation.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings
and, in some cases, a third ring.The two rings 1 fig. 200, shown by a
label
, are located between the
backrest and the seat cushion.
Forward-facing child restraint
system coupling rings for rear side
positions: the 3rd ring is used to hook
the upper seat belt found in some child
restraint systems.
Place the headrest in the upper
position or remove it;
pass belt 2 fig. 201 (provided with
the seat) between the two rear headrest
rods;
fasten hook 3 onto ring 4 fig. 201,
marked by the symbol
on the back
of the seat;
tighten the belt so the child restraint
system is on contact with the backrest
of the vehicle.
i-Size CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
These child restraint systems, built and
type-approved according to the i-Size
(ECE R129) standard, ensure better
safety conditions to carry children on
board a vehicle:
the child must be transported
rearward facing until 15 months;
child restraint system protection is
increased in the event of a side
collision;
the use of the ISOFIX system is
promoted to avoid faulty installation of
the child restraint system;
efficiency in the choice of the child
restraint system, which isn't made
according to weight any more but
according to the child's height, is
increased;

SAFETY

WARNING
127)To prevent opening the door from the inside, use the safety device (refer to the "Child safety” paragraph in the “Knowing your vehicle”
chapter).
128)A collision at 50 Km/h is the equivalent of falling 10 meters. Never hold a child in your arms or on your knees, in case of an accident you
would never be able to hold him even if you have your seat bets fastened. If the vehicle has been involved in a road accident, replace the child
restraint system, and check the seat belts and ISOFIX anchorages.
129)Never leave the vehicle unguarded with the electronic key and a child, a handicapped person or an animal inside, even for a short time.
This could result in your own safety or that of others who could start the engine, setting in motion equipment such as the electric windows or
even locking the doors. Moreover, in hot and/or sunny weather, the vehicle's interior temperature will increase rapidly. Risk of death or serious
injury.
130)Never leave a child alone in the vehicle. Make sure the child always has his/her seat belt fastened and correctly adjusted. Avoid too
heavy clothing that causes the belts to be loose. Never allow the child to put his/her head or arm out the window. Make sure the child is
seated correctly throughout the trip. especially when asleep.
131)Make sure the child seat or his/her feet do not prevent the front seat from locking into place correctly. Refer to the "Front seat"
paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle” chapter. Make sure that the child seat installed in the vehicle is not at risk of coming out of its
housing. If you have to remove the head rest, make sure it is positioned so it is not thrown about in case of abrupt braking or collision. Always
fasten the child seat even if you are not using it so it is not thrown about in case of abrupt braking or collision.
132)RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY: before installing a rear-facing child restraint system in the front passenger seat, check that the
air bag has been correctly deactivated (refer to the "Passenger side airbag and child restraint systems" paragraph in this chapter).
133)Install the child seat preferably in one of the rear seats.
134)Never install a child seat on the rear centre seat. RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
135)Do not use child seats that could unlock the belt holding it in place: the child seat base must not rest on the seat belt buckle and/or
housing.
136)The seat belt must never be loose or twisted. Never pass the shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back. Check that the belt has
not been damaged by sharp edges. If the seat belt is not working normally, it will not protect the child. Contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not use
this seat until the belt has been repaired.
137)Using a child seat inappropriate for this vehicle will not properly protect the child. You risk causing him/her serious injury or death.
138)Do not modify any of the elements of the original safety system: seat belts, ISOFIX, seats and related fastening.
139)Check that the backrest of the forward-facing child restraint system is touching the backrest of the vehicle seat. In that case, the child
restraint system may not rest on the vehicle seat cushion.
140)The ISOFIX anchorages have been designed exclusively for child restraint systems with the ISOFIX system. Never fasten other child
restraint systems, nor seat belts or other objects to these anchorages. Check that there are no obstacles at the level of the anchor points. If
the vehicle has been involved in a road accident, have the ISOFIX anchorages checked and replace the child restraint system.
141)Never install a child restraint system with support feet on the central rear seat. Risk of death or serious injury.

SERVICING
PROCEDURES
The vehicle respects the recycling
criteria and scrapped vehicle
assessment which came into force in
2015.
Therefore, some of the vehicle’s
components are designed with their
ultimate recycling in mind.
These components can easily be
disassembled to be recovered and
reused in the recycling industry.
Moreover, thanks to its advanced
design, its original setup and its modest
fuel consumption, the vehicle complies
with the anti-pollution regulations in
force. We are actively committed to
reducing polluting gases and saving
energy. But the level of polluting gas
emissions and vehicle consumption
also depend on you. Take care to use
and service your car correctly.
Keep in mind that lack of respect for
anti-pollution laws can expose the
vehicle's owner to administrative
sanctions. Moreover, replacing engine,
fuel system and exhaust parts with
other non-original ones voids the
vehicle's compliance with the
anti-pollution regulations.
