Older Children - Fiat Fullback Single cab Owner's Manual

206
Instructions:
For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children
whose height when seated allows the
shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should
be used.
The child restraint system should be
appropriate for your child's weight and
height and properly fit the vehicle. For a
higher degree of safety THE CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM SHOULD BE
INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT
(Double cab and Club cab).
Before purchasing a child restraint
system, try installing it in the seat to
make sure there is a good fit. Because
of the location of the seat belt buckles
and the shape of the seat cushion, it
may be difficult to securely install some
manufacturer's child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be
114
pulled forward or to either side easily on
the seat cushion after the seat belt has
been tightened, choose another
manufacturer's child restraint system.

Older children

Children who have outgrown the child
restraint system should be seated in the
rear seat and wear combination lap
shoulder belt. The lap portion of the belt
AA0059891
should be snug and positioned low on
the abdomen so that it is below the top
of the hip-bone. Otherwise, the belt
could intrude into the child's abdomen
during an accident and cause injury.
WARNING
137) Follow the instructions for positioning,
fitting and removing which the
manufacturer must supply together with
the child restraint system.
138) Fiat recommends fitting the child
restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be included.
139) Do not place a rearward facing cradle
seat on the front seat if the passenger side
airbag is enabled. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the impact. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a
collision. If you need to carry a child on the
front passenger seat in a rearward facing
cradle seat, the passenger side airbags
(front and side bags for chest/ pelvis
protection, for versions/markets, where
provided) must be deactivated using the
setup menu. It is important to check the
dedicated LED on button on the instrument
panel to make sure that they are actually
deactivated. The passenger seat must also
be positioned back as far as possible in
order to avoid the child restraint system
from coming into contact with the
dashboard.
140) Fit the child restraint system only
when the vehicle is stationary.
141) When possible, put children in the
rear seat. Accident statistics indicate that
children of all sizes and ages are safer
when properly restrained in the rear seat
rather than in the front seat (Club cab and
Double cab).
142) Holding a child in your arms is no
substitute for a restraint system. Failure to
use a proper restraint system can result in
severe or fatal injury to your child.
143) Each child restraint device or fixing is
to be used only by one child.
