Below is a summary of the safe-
ty rules to be observed when car-
rying children:
– The recommended position for
installing a child's seat is on the rear seat,
as it is the most protected in the event of
a crash.
– If the passenger's air bag is deactivat-
ed, always check the warning light F
on the cluster to make sure that it has
actually been deactivated.
– Carefully follow the instructions pro-
vided with the child's seat, which the sup-
plier is obliged to attach. Keep them in the
car together with the documents and this
booklet. Do not use used seats without
the instructions for use.
– Always pull the tape to check that
belts are buckled.

– All restraint systems are strictly for one
child only: never use for two children at
the same time.
– Always make sure that the belts do
not rest on the child's neck.
– During the journey, do not allow the
child to stay in abnormal positions or
release the belts.
– Do not carry children in your arms, not
even small babies. No-one, however
strong, can keep hold od them in a crash.
– In the case of accidents, replace the
child's seat with a new one.
With passenger's air bag
active, never place child's
seats with the cradle fac-
ing backwards since the air bag ac-
tivation could cause to the child se-
rious injuries, even mortal, re-
gardless of the seriousness of the
crash that triggered it. You are ad-
vised to carry children always with
proper restraint systems on the
rear seats, as this is the most pro-
tected position in the case of a
crash.
PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE
"TYPE ISOFIX" CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
The vehicle is fitted with rear seat
arranged for mounting type Isofix child
restraint system, a European standardised
system for mounting child restraints. Type
Isofix is an additional option that does not
prevent from using traditional child
restraint systems. The type Isofix child's
seat covers three weight groups: 0, 0+
and 1.
Due to its different anchoring system,
the type Isofix child's seat shall be
anchored just using the metal brackets
(A-fig. 47) set between rear seat back
and cushion.
