Fiat Stilo 2006 Owner's Handbook Manual page 121

Below is a summary of the rules of
safety to be followed for carrying
children:
❒ The recommended position for in-
stalling children's seat is on the rear
seat, as it is the most protected in the
case of a crash.
❒ If the passenger's air bag is deactivated
always check the warning light F on
the instrument panel to make sure that
it has actually been deactivated.
❒ Attain to the instructions for fastening
the specific child restraint system which
you are using. These instructions must
be provided by the manufacturer. Keep
the child restraint system installation in-
structions with the car documents and
this Handbook. Never use a child re-
straint system without installation in-
structions.

❒ Always check the seat belt is well fas-
tened by pulling the webbing.
❒ Only one child is to be strapped to each
retaining system.
❒ Always check the seat belts do not fit
around the child's throat.
❒ While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or release the belts.
❒ Passengers should never carry children
on their laps. No-one, however strong
they are, can hold a child in the event
of a crash.
❒ In case of an accident, replace the seat
with a new one.
WARNING
Never place cradle child's
seats facing backwards on
the front passenger seat of cars fitted
with passenger air bag since the air
bag activation could cause serious in-
juries, even mortal. You are advised
to carry children always on the rear
seat, as this is the most protected po-
sition in the case of a crash.
