child restraint FIAT PANDA 2014 319 / 3.G Owners Manual

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELYAll vehicle's occupants must be protected, babies and
children included! For optimal protection in the
event of a collision, all passengers must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint systems.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries
according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.
This is even more important for children since their
head is larger and heavier than an adult's in
proportion to their body, while their muscular and
bone structures are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems other than adult
seat belts are necessary to reduce as much as
possible the risk of injuries in case of accident,
braking or sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be suitably restrained inside the
vehicle according to their body: weight and height.
Several children restraint system types are available;
always choose the one most suitable for the child.
In Europe the characteristics of children restraint
systems are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44, dividing
them into five weight groups:Group Weight groups
Group0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child seat which must never be
removed.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of
restraint systems, children are considered as adults
and wear the seat belts normally. Lineaccessori
Fiat offers child restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are recommended having been
specifically designed for Fiat cars.
WARNING
When an active passenger air bag is
fitted, DO NOT install backwards-facing
child seats on the front seat . 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 carr y children
in a child seat on the rear seat , which is the
most protected position in the event of a
collision.

the neck, and the lower part is snug on the pelvis not
