Front Seats - Fiat 500L User Manual

GETTING STARTED
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside
the vehicle.The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so
great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.The child and
others could be severely injured or killed.Any child riding in your vehicle should be
in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a
front passenger air bag.An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to
infants in this position.
• Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to failure
of an infant or child restraint.The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer' s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and pos-
sible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat
to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap does not
slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.
