If You Need Consumer Assistance - Fiat 500 Owner's Manual

26 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
If a child from 1 to 12 years old (not in a rear facing child
seat) must ride in the front passenger seat, move the seat
as far back as possible and use the proper child restraint.
(Refer to "Child Restraints")
You should read the instructions provided with your
child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly.
2. All occupants should always wear their lap and
shoulder belts properly.
3. The driver and front passenger seats should be
moved back as far as practical to allow the Advanced
Front Airbags room to inflate.
4. Do not lean against the door or window. Your vehicle
has Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains
(SABIC) or Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags
(SAB), and deployment occurs, the SABIC and SAB
airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between
you and the door.
5. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be
modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact
the Customer Center. Phone numbers are provided in

If You Need Consumer Assistance.

WARNING!
• Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more
severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work
with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In
some collisions, the airbags won't deploy at all.
Always wear your seat belts even though you have
airbags.
