Transporting Pets - Fiat ABARTH 500 2017 User Manual

2. Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the
anchor and the child seat. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head re-
straints, raise the head restraint, and where possible, route the tether strap under
the head restraint and between the two posts. If not possible, lower the head re-
straint and pass the tether strap around the outboard side of the head restraint.
3. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage as
shown in the diagram.
4. Remove slack in the tether strap ac-
cording to the child restraint manu-
facturer's instructions.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion
and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchorage position 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.

Transporting Pets

Air Bags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet will be
thrown about and possibly injured, or injure a passenger during panic braking or in
a collision.
Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are
secured by seat belts.
