Fiat FIORINO, Owner'S Handbook Manual, Page: 91 / 220

Below is a summary of
the main safety rules to
be followed when
carrying children
Main recommendations to carry
children safely:
Install the child restraint systems on
the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an
impact.
Keep children in rearward facing
child restraint systems for as long as
possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.
If the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated always check the
warning light always lighted on the
central dashboard to make sure that
it has actually been deactivated fig. 97.
Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint system.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle
along with the other papers and this
handbook. Do not use second-hand
child restraint systems without
instructions.
Only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry two
children using one child restraint
system.
Always check that the seat belts do
not rest on the child’s neck.
Always check that the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling on it.
While travelling, do not let the child
sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or
behind their back.
Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No-one can hold
a child in the case of a crash.
If the vehicle has been involved in a
road accident, replace the child
restraint system with a new one. In
addition, and depending on the type of
child restraint system installed, replace
the Isofix anchorages or the seat belt
with which the child restraint system
was connected.
The rear head restraint can be
removed if needed to install a child
restraint system. The headrest must
always be fitted in the vehicle if the seat
is used by an adult passenger or a
child sitting in a restraint system without
a backrest.
WARNING
82)
Fit the child restraint system only when
the vehicle is stationary. The child restraint
system is correctly fixed to the brackets
when you hear the click. Follow the
instructions for positioning, fitting and
removing which the child restraint system
manufacturer must supply together with
the restraint system. If a Universal/ISOFIX
child restraint system is not fixed to all
three anchorages, it will not be able to
protect the child correctly. In a crash, the
child could be seriously or fatally injured.
83)
Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child restraint
system.
