Fiat 2013 Ducato 250, Owner'S Handbook Manual

Page: 144 / 331

Below is a summary of the main safety rules
to be followed when carrying children
❒
The recommended position for installing child
seats is on the rear seat, as it is the most
protected area in the event of a crash.
❒
If the passenger's air bag is deactivated always
check the warning light
on the instrument panel
to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.
❒
Carefully follow the instructions supplied with the
child seat which are mandatory by law. Keep the
instructions in the vehicle along with the other
papers and this handbook. Do not use
second-hand child seats without instructions.
❒
Always check that the seat belt is well fastened by
pulling on it.
❒
Only one child is to be strapped into each
retaining system; never carry two children using
one child seat.
❒
Always check that the seat belts do not restrain
the child's throat.
❒
While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly
or release the belts.
❒
Never carry children on your lap, even newborns.
No-one can restrain a child in the event of an
accident.
❒
In the event of an accident, replace the child seat
with a new one.
WARNING
Do not place a cradle seat facing
backwards on the front seat if the
passenger side air bag is on. Deployment of the
air bag in an accident could cause fatal injuries
to the baby regardless of the severity of the
collision. It is advisable to always carry children
in a child seat on the rear seat, which is the
most protected position in the event of a
collision.
