If the system signals a loss of pressure
on a specific tyre, it is recommended to
check the pressure on all four tyres.
31)
The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacement system for
maintenance or a safety system.
32)
The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden
tyre pressure drops (for example when a
tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
33)
The iTPMS system only warns that the
tyre pressure is low: it cannot inflate them.
34)
Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
equipment of the car comprise the
following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
Front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care.
It is of fundamental importance that
the protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see the "Head restraints"
paragraph in the "Knowing your car"
chapter.
SEAT BELTS
63) 64)
All car seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchorage points and a
retractor.
The reel mechanism operates locking
the belt in the event of sharp braking or
strong deceleration due to a collision.
This allows the seat belt strap to slide
freely and to adapt to the body of the
occupant.
In the event of an accident, the seat
belt will lock reducing the risk of impact
inside the passenger compartment and
of being projected outside the car.
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to the
use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold fastening
tongue (A) fig. 103 and insert it into
buckle (B), until it clicks into place.
103
F0Y0085C
On removal, if the belt jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull it
out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press
button (C) and guide the seat belt
with your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.
The retractor may lock when the car
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
reel mechanism locks the belt if it is
pulled sharply or in the event of sudden
braking, collisions and high-speed
bends.
Once seated, wear the rear seat belts
as shown in fig. 104 and fig. 105.
IMPORTANT When putting the rear
seat back in its normal position, after
folding, make sure that the seat belt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
93
is positioned correctly, so that it is not
pinched (and therefore damaged).
4-seater versions
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car is provided with rear seat type-
approved for two occupants only (see
fig. 104), with three-point seat belts
with retractor.

Never press button (C) fig. 103 when
travelling.
64)
Remember that in the event of a
violent impact the rear seat passengers
not wearing seat belts are exposed to
a very serious risk and also represent
a serious danger for the front seat
occupants.
SBR (SEAT BELT
REMINDER) SYSTEM
The SBR system (f present) warns the
front and rear seat occupants if their
seat belt is not fastened.
The system signals unfastened seat
belts with visual warnings (warning light
on the instrument panel and symbols
on the display) and an acoustic signal
(see the following paragraphs).
NOTE To deactivate the acoustic
warning permanently go to a Fiat
Dealership. The acoustic warning can
be reactivated at any time through
the display Menu (see the "Display"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter).
FRONT SEAT BELT
WARNING LIGHT
BEHAVIOUR
When the ignition device is turned to
MAR, warning light
(see fig. 106)
lights up for a few seconds, regardless
of the status of the front seat belts.
At speeds under 20 km/h, if the driver
side seat belt or the passenger side
seat belt (with occupant present) is
unfastened, the warning light stays on
constantly.
106
F0Y0743
As soon as the threshold of 20 km/h
is exceeded with driver or passenger
side (with passenger present) seat belts
unfastened, an acoustic warning is
activated together with the flashing of
the
warning light for approximately
105 seconds.
Once activated, this indication cycle
stays active for the entire time at
speeds faster than 8 km/h or if reverse
gear is not engaged or until the seat
belts are fastened.
If the speed drops to less than 8 km/h
or if reverse gear is engaged during
the warning cycle, the tone will be
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAFETY
94
interrupted and the warning light
switches on fixed.
If the entire time has not elapsed and
reverse gear is not engaged, the
indication cycle is reactivated as soon
as the speed exceeds 20 km/h again.
REAR SEAT BELT ICON
BEHAVIOUR
The icons are shown on the display
fig. 107 after a few seconds have
elapsed since the ignition device is
turned to the MAR position.
The icons will disappear after
approximately 35 seconds or after the
rear seat belts have been fastened.
If the seat belt is unfastened, the
corresponding icon will stay on for
approximately 65 seconds and
then switch off without any auditory
indication.
The icons on the display represent the
following (as applicable):
A
: rear left seat belt unfastened;
B
: rear central seat belt unfastened;
C
: rear right seat belt unfastened.
107
F0Y0741
The icons are displayed according to
the corresponding seat belts in the
rear seats, and stay on for about 65
seconds from the last seat belt status
change:
if the seat belt is fastened the
corresponding icon will appear as
shown in (C) (green);
if the seat belt is unfastened the
corresponding icon will appear as
shown in (A) and (B) (red);
At speeds under 20 km/h, if a seat belt
is unfastened, the respective icon ((A),
(B) or (C)) will remain fixed for a total of
approximately 65 seconds.
At speeds over 20 km/h, if reverse is
not engaged and a rear seat belt is
unbuckled, an auditory warning will be
heard and the respective icon will blink
for approximately 35 seconds. The
auditory warning will switch off and the
icon will light up fixed until the end of
the entire cycle.
Furthermore, the icons lights up for a
few seconds whenever one of the rear
doors is opened.
IMPORTANT NOTES
As far as the rear seats are concerned,
the SBR system will only indicate
whether the seat belts are unfastened
(red icon) or fastened (green icon), not
the presence of any passengers.
For the rear seats, the icons will
activate a few seconds after the
ignition device has been turned to
MAR, regardless of the status of the
seat belts (even if the seat belts are all
fastened).
All the warning lights/icons will come
on when at least one belt changes from
fastened to unfastened status or vice
versa.

PRE-TENSIONERS
65) 66) 67) 68)
35)
The car is equipped with front seat belt
pretensioners, which draw back the
seat belts by several centimetres in the
event of a severe frontal collision. This
guarantees the perfect adherence of
the seat belts to the occupant's bodies
before the retention action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners
have been activated when the belt
withdraws toward the retractor.
This car is also equipped with a second
pretensioner (fitted in the kick plate
area). Its activation is signalled by the
shortening of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not involve any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require
any maintenance or lubrication: any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events
(floods, sea storms, etc.), the device
has been affected by water and/or
mud, contact a Fiat Dealership to have
it replaced.
WARNING To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the chest and pelvis.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase safety in the event of an
accident, the front seat belt retractors
contain a device which controls the
force acting on the chest and shoulders
during the belt restraining action in the
event of a frontal collision.
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING THE SEAT BELTS
Seat belts must also be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the event of an accident is reduced for
them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes over the pelvis and under
the abdomen fig. 108.
While pregnancy increases, the driver
must adjust both seat and steering
wheel to have full control over the
vehicle (pedals and steering wheel
should be easily accessed). The
maximum clearance should be kept
between the abdomen and the steering
wheel.
108
F0Y0700C
The seat belt strap must not be
twisted. The upper part must pass
over the shoulder and cross the chest
diagonally fig. 109. The lower part
must adhere to the pelvis, not to the
abdomen of the occupant. Never use
devices (clips, clamps, etc.) that hold
the seat belt away from your body.
109
F0Y0701C
Each seat belt must be used by only
one person. Never travel with a child
sitting on the passenger's lap and
a single belt to protect them both

fig. 110. In general, do not place any
objects between the person and the
belt.

F0Y0702C
SEAT BELTS
MAINTENANCE
For keeping the seat belts in efficient
conditions, carefully observe the
following warnings:
always use the seat belt with the
strap well stretched and not twisted;
make sure that it is free to run without
obstructions;
check seat belt operation as follows:
attach the seat belt and pull it hard;
replace the seat belt after an
accident of a certain severity even if
it does not appear to be damaged.
Always replace the seat belt if the
pretensioners were deployed;
prevent the retractors from getting
wet: their correct operation is only
guaranteed if water does not get inside;
replace the seat belt when it shows
wear or cuts.
65)
The pretensioner may be used only
once. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have it
replaced after it has been deployed.
66)
Removing or otherwise tampering with
pretensioner and seat belt components
is strictly prohibited. Any intervention on
these components must be performed
by qualified and authorised technicians.
Always go to a Fiat Dealership.
67)
For maximum safety, keep the
backrest upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the
seat belts for both the front and rear seats!
Travelling without wearing seat belts will
increase the risk of serious injury and even
death in the event of an accident.
68)
If the belt has been subjected to high
levels of stress, for example after an
accident, it should be changed completely
together with the attachments, attachment
fixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact,
even if the belt has no visible defects, it
may have lost its resilience.
35)
Operations which lead to impacts,
vibrations or localised heating (over 100
°
C
for a maximum of six hours) in the area
around the pretensioner may cause
damage or make it deploy. Contact a
Fiat Dealership should intervention be
necessary on these components.
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
CARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY
69) 70) 71) 72) 73) 74) 75)
For optimal protection in the event
of an impact, all occupants must
be seated and wearing adequate
restraint systems, including newborn
and other children! This prescription
is compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of 1.50
metres and up to 12 years must be
protected with suitable restraint
systems and be seated on the rear
seats.
Statistics on accidents indicate that
the rear seats offer greater safety for
children.
Compared with an adult, a child's head
is larger and heavier in proportion to
their body and the child's muscular
and bone structures are not fully
developed. Therefore, correct restraint
systems other than adult seat belts
are necessary to reduce as much as
possible the risk of injuries in the event
of an accident, braking or sudden
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
97
manoeuvre. Children must be seated
safely and comfortably.
As far as the characteristics of the child
seats used allow, you are advised to
keep children in rear facing child seats
for as long as possible (at least until
3
–
4 years old), since this is the most
protected position in the event of a
collision.
The choice of the most suitable child
restraint system depends on the weight
and size of the child. There are various
types of child restraint systems, which
can be secured to the car by means of
the seat belts or with the ISOFIX/i-Size
anchoring points. It is recommended
to always choose the restraint system
most suitable for the child; for this
reason always refer to the Owner
Handbook provided with the child
restraint system, to be sure that it is
of the right type for the children it is
intended for.
In Europe the characteristics of child
restraint systems are ruled by the
regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group
Weight groups
Group 0
up to 10 kg in weight
Group 0+
up to 13 kg in weight
Group
Weight groups
Group 1
9-18 kg
Group 2
15 - 25 kg
Group 3
22 - 36 kg
The ECE-R44 standard supplements
the ECE R-129 regulation, which
defines the characteristics of i-Size
child restraint systems (see the
"Suitability of passenger seats for i-Size
child restraint system use" paragraph
for more information).
All restraint devices must bear the type-
approval data, together with the control
mark, on a label solidly fixed to the
child restraint system which must never
be removed.
Lineaccessori MOPAR® includes
child restraint systems for each
weight group. These devices are
recommended having been specifically
designed for Fiat vehicles.
WARNING For correct installation
on the car, some universal child
restraint systems require an accessory
(base) sold separately by the restraint
system's producer. Therefore, FCA
recommends confirming the retailer if
the desired child seat can be installed
in the car by having it done, before
buying the seat.
500L PRO versions
WARNING The Highway Code forbids
transporting children on this version,
regardless of the child restraint system:
seat, ISOFIX/i-Size seat and seat belts.
This limitation also applies to rear
seats.
INSTALLING A CHILD

INSTALLING AN ISOFIX
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
76) 77) 78) 79)
The car is equipped with ISOFIX
anchorages, a new standard which
makes fitting a child restraint system
quick, simple and safe.
The ISOFIX system lets you install the
ISOFIX child restraint system without
using the car seat belts but connecting
them directly to the car seat with three
anchorages in the car. Traditional
child restraint systems can be fitted
alongside ISOFIX child restraint
systems on different seats in the same
car.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach the restraint system to
the two metal anchorings (A) fig. 115
located where the rear seat cushion
meets the backrest, then fix the upper
strap (available together with the
restraint system) to the dedicated
anchoring (B) fig. 116 located at the
bottom behind the backrest.

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;
compatibility between the car seats
and the child restraint systems is
better: the i-Size child restraint systems
can be considered as "Super ISOFIX";
this means that they can be perfectly
fitted in type-approved i-Size seats, but
can also be fitted in ISOFIX (ECE R44)
type-approved seats.
NOTE If your car seats are i-Size
approved, the symbol shown in fig. 119

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAFETY
106
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 a
collision.
Keep children in rearward facing
child restraint systems for as long as
possible, until 3
–
4 years old if possible.
Should a rearward facing child
restraint system be installed on the rear
seats, it is advisable to position it as far
forward as the position of the front seat
allows.
If the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated always check the LED
on the trim located on the dashboard
to make sure that it has actually been
deactivated.
Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint system.
Keep the instructions in the car along
with the other documents and this
handbook. Do not use second-hand
child seats 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 collision.
If the car 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 head restraint
must always be present in the car and
fitted if the seat is used by an adult
passenger or a child sitting in a child
restraint system without backrest.
69)
SEVERE DANGER! When a front
passenger airbag is active, do not install
rearward facing child restraint systems
on the front passenger seat. Deployment
of the airbag in a crash could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the
most protected position in the event of a
collision.
70)
On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that
it is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if
a rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -
Airbag" paragraph).
71)
Should it be necessary to carry a
child on the passenger side front seat in
a rear facing child restraint system, the
passenger side front airbag and side bag
must be deactivated through the display
Main Menu (see the "Display" paragraph,
"Knowing the dashboard" chapter),
verifying deactivation by checking whether
the
OFF LED has switched on in the
trim located on the dashboard. Move the
passenger's seat as far back as possible
to avoid contact between the child seat
and the dashboard.
72)
Do not move the front or rear seat if
a child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
73)
Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided by
the Manufacturer.
74)
When the child restraint system is
not used, secure it with the seat belt or
with the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove
it from the car. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. In this
way, in the event of sudden braking or an
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
75)
After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove the
child restraint system before making any
adjustment.
76)
Always make sure that the chest
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.
77)
Never use the same lower anchorage
to attach more than one child restraint.
78)
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.
79)
Fit the child restraint system when the
car is stationary. The child restraint system
is correctly fixed to the brackets when you
hear the click. Follow the instructions for
assembly, disassembly and positioning
that the Manufacturer must supply with the
child restraint system.
SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) - AIRBAG
The car is equipped with:
front driver airbag;
front passenger airbag;
driver side knee bag (for
versions/markets, where provided);
front side bags for pelvis, chest and
shoulder protection of driver and
passenger (for versions/markets, where
provided);
side bags for head protection of front
seat passengers and rear side seat
passengers (window bag).
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags
and the driver's knee bag (for
versions/markets, where provided)
protect the front seat occupants in the
event of frontal impacts of medium/high
severity, by placing the bag between
the occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Therefore non-activation of airbags in
other types of collisions (side impacts,
rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not
indicate a system malfunction.
Driver and passenger front airbags
are not a replacement of but
complementary to the seat belts, which
should always be worn, as specified by
law in Europe and most non-European
countries.
In a crash, those not wearing a seat
belt are projected forwards and may
come into contact with the bag which
is still inflating. The protection offered
by the bag is compromised in these
circumstances.
Front airbags may not activate in the
following situations:
frontal impacts against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the car (e.g. wing
collision against guard rail, etc.);
vehicle wedging under other vehicles
or protective barriers (e.g. trucks or
guard rails).
Failure to activate in the conditions
described above is due to the fact that
they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat
belts, so their activation would be
inappropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does
not indicate a system malfunction.
The driver's and passenger's front
airbags have been designed and
calibrated to protect front seat
occupants wearing seat belts. At
their maximum inflation, their volume
fills most of the space between the
steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the
passenger.
