Head Restraints - Fiat 500e 2017 User Manual

4. Remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer' 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 colli-
sion.
Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are se-
cured by seat belts.

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by restricting head movement in
the event of a rear-impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the
head restraint is located above the top of your ear.
• All occupants, including the driver, should not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle' s
seat until the head restraints are placed in their proper positions in order to mini-
mize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.
• Head restraints should never be adjusted while the vehicle is in motion. Driving a
vehicle with the head restraints improperly adjusted or removed could cause seri-
ous injury or death in the event of a collision.
Reactive Head Restraints — Front Seats
The driver and front passenger seats are equipped with Reactive Head Restraints. In the
event of a rear impact, the Reactive Head Restraints will automatically extend forward
minimizing the gap between the back of the occupant's head and the Reactive Head Re-
straint.
