1)
Height and depth steering wheel
adjustment
Pull lever 1 fig. 64 and position the
wheel in the desired place: push the
lever beyond the point of resistance to
lock the wheel.
Make sure the wheel is properly locked
in place.
Variable power steering
The variable power steering is an
electronic system that varies the
steering force according to the vehicle's
speed.The steering is thus less stiff when
parking (for greater comfort), but it gets
stiffer as driving at high speeds).
WARNING
26)Adjustments must be carried out only
with the vehicle stationary and the engine
off.
27)Never stop the engine when going
downhill, and in general when the vehicle is
moving (turning the engine off disengages
the power steering).
28)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving the
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that, in addition to invalidating the
warranty, could adversely affect
performance, cause serious safety
problems and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
IMPORTANT
1)You will still be able to turn the steering
wheel with the engine off or in the event of
a system fault. You need to apply more
effort.

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.
