accessories whose power supply is not
greater than 120 Watts (12 V).
WARNING
69)There should be no objects on the
driver's side floorboard: in case of sharp
braking, they could slide under the pedals,
hampering their use.

sharp objects sticking out or in the "open"
compartments: they could endanger the
safety of the vehicle's occupants in a curve
or in case of sharp braking.
71)We would like to remind you to respect
local laws regarding use of phones and/or
multi-media tablets.

case of abrupt braking or collision.
76)Make sure not to place heavy or sharp
items that could fall. Risk of injury.
77)Attach only accessories with a
maximum of 120 Watts (12 V). In case
several sockets are being used at the same
time for accessories, the total ppower for
these items cannot exceed 180 Watts. Fire
risk.

you have always disconnected all the
devices from the accessory socket to
prevent operating faults (flat battery, closing
the doors and the boot, etc.).

service deadline (distance and time remaining until the next service deadline).
The following cases may occur as the next service deadline approaches:range less than 1500 km or one month: the dedicated message will appear
with the nearest due date (distance or time);
range at 0 km or the date for oil replacement reached: the dedicated
message appears on the screen along with the warning light .
The vehicle needs an oil change as soon as possible. SERVICE WITHIN 300 km / 24 DAYS
SERVICE
Depending on how old the vehicle is, the oil change limit will adapt to driving style (frequently at low speeds, door-to-door, the least prolonged
driving, towing a trailer, etc.). The distance that remains until the next oil change can, in certain cases, thus be reduced more rapidly than the
distance actually covered.
Reinitialisation:to reinitialise the oil change deadline, view the remaining range (distance and time), by holding button 9 or 10 pressed
fig. 173 for approximately 10 seconds until the fixed oil change deadline appears fixed.

SIDE AIR BAGS
SIDE AIRBAGS(For versions/markets where provided)
These are air bags that can be installed
in the front seats and inflate to the side
of the seat (door side) in order to
protect the car's occupants in the event
of a violent side collision.
DRIVER'S AIR BAG(For versions/markets where provided)
These are air bags on each upper side
of the vehicle. They inflate along the
front door side windows to protect the
occupants in case of a violent side
collision.

WARNING
119)When you lend or re-sell the vehicle,
tell the new owner of these conditions for
use and hand over this owner handbook.
120)Installing seat covers: seats equipped
with airbags require covers specifically
made for the vehicle. Consult a Fiat
Dealership. Using any other liner (or liners
specific to another vehicle) could cause
these airbags to function incorrectly and
jeopardise the occupants' safety.121)Never place an accessory, an object
or an animal between the backrest, the
door and interior coverings. Do not cover
the seat backrest with items like clothing or
accessories. These could cause the airbag
to function incorrectly or cause injury when
the airbag deploys.
122)Any dismantling or changes made to
the seats and their coverings is prohibited,
except if done by qualified Fiat Dealership
personnel.
123)The airbag was conceived to
complement the seat belt. The airbag and
seat belt together constitute inseparable
components to the same protective
system. Therefore, you always need to
fasten your seat belt. Not fastening them
can put the vehicle's occupants at risk of
aggravated injury and can increase injury
risk caused by deployment of the airbag
itself.
124)Seat belt pre-tensioner and airbag
deployment in case the vehicle flips over or
a violent rear collision is not systematic.
Collisions beneath the vehicle, like hitting a
curbstone, road unevenness, stones, etc.,
can cause the system to deploy.
125)Any intervention or modification to the
complete airbag system (airbag,
pre-tensioners, electronic modules, wiring,
etc.) is severely prohibited (except by
qualified Fiat Dealership personnel).
126)For safety reasons, check the airbag
system after the vehicle has undergone an
accident, theft or attempted theft.
IMPORTANT
22)To maintain correct operation and to
prevent accidental deployment, only
qualified Fiat Dealership personnel can
intervene on the airbag system.
IMPORTANT
4)When the vehicle is scrapped, contact a
Fiat Dealership to have the gas generator
removed.

Booster seats
From 15 kg or 4 years up, a child can
travel on a booster seat that adapts the
seat belt to his/her shape fig. 193. The
booster seat must have guides that
position the belt on his/her thighs and
not on the stomach.
The height-adjustable backrest and
seat belt track is recommended to
position the belt at the centre of the
shoulder. It must never rest on the neck
or arm. Choose an encompassing child
restraint system for better side
protection.
INSTALLING A CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
Some child seats cannot be installed.
The diagrams on the following pages
show the child restraint system
anchoring position.
Before using a child restraint system,
make sure that it can be fitted.In the front seat
Carrying children in the front passenger
seat is country-specific. Check with the
current laws and follow the indications
in the following diagram.
Before installing a child restraint system
in this seat (if authorised):
lower the seat belt completely;
move the seat back completely;
incline the backrest slightly (about
25°);
for vehicles that are able to do so,
raise the seat as high as possible.
Raise headrest as far up as possible so
that it does not interfere with the child
restraint system (refer to the "Front
headrest" paragraph in the "Knowing
your vehicle” chapter).
After having installed the child restraint
system, when possible, move the
vehicle seat forwards, if needed, to
leave sufficient space for rear seat
passengers or other child restraint
systems. In case of rearward facing
child restraint systems, do not come
into contact with the dashboard and
avoid moving the seat all forwards.
Do not change any other adjustments
after installing the child restraint system.
In the rear side seat
The cot is installed crosswise with
respect to the vehicle and takes up at
least two seats. Place the child's head
opposite the door.Move the front seat as far forward as
possible to install the rearward facing
child restraint system, then move it
back to maximum so it does not come
into contact with the child restraint
system.
For the safety of children in forward
facing restraint systems:
avoid to retract the seat arranged in
front of the backrest of the child
restraint system beyond it mid-way
travel;
do not incline the backrest
excessively (25° at the most) and raise
the seat as much as possible.
Remove the headrest from the rear seat
with the child restraint system on it
(refer to the "Rear headrest" paragraph
in the "Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
This must be done before positioning
the child restraint system.
Make sure that the forward-facing child
restraint system is resting against the
seat backrest.
In the rear central seat
Make sure the seat belt is adapted to
your child restraint system. Consult a
Fiat Dealership.
