WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: never place cradle
child seats facing backwards on the
front passenger's seat of cars fitted with
passenger's air bag. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the child. It is advisable always to carry
children on the rear seat which is the most
protected position in the event of an accident.
Never fit child restraint systems on the front
seat if the car is provided with passenger
airbag: the airbag could cause fatal injury
independently from the severity of the collision
which caused the airbag to be deployed. If
necessary, children can stay on the front seat,
only if the passenger's airbag can be disabled. In
this case, check that the air bag is actually
deactivated by making sure the warning light
appears on the instrument panel (see "Front
passenger airbag" in the "Front airbags"
section). Move the passenger's seat as far back
as possible to avoid contact between the child
seat and the dashboard.
All child restraint devices must bear the certification
data, together with the control mark, on a label
solidly fixed to the seat which must never be
removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults
and wear the seat belts normally. Lineaccessori Fiat
offers child restraint systems for each weight group.
These devices are recommended having been
specifically designed for Fiat cars.
GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards
on a cradle seat, which, supporting the head, does
not induce stress on the neck in the event of sharp
decelerations.
The cradle is restrained by the car seat belts, as
shown in fig. 81 and in turn it must restrain the child
with its own belts.
