child restraint FIAT 124 SPIDER 2017 2.G User Guide

The side air bag inflates quickly to
reduce injury to the driver or
passenger's head and chest caused by
directly hitting interior parts such as a
door or window. For more details about
air bag deployment, refer to "SRS Air
Bag deployment criteria" in this chapter
for further information.
Warning!
Occupants, including children, who are
up against or very close to side air bags
can be seriously injured or killed.
Occupants, including children, should
never lean on or sleep against the door,
side windows, or area where the side air
bags inflate, even if they are in an infant or
child restraint.
Seat belts (and child restraints where
appropriate) are necessary for your
protection in all collisions. They also help
keep you in position, away from an inflating
side air bag. To get the best protection
from the side air bags, occupants must
wear their seat belts properly and sit
upright with their backs against the seats.
Children must be properly restrained in a
child restraint or booster seat that is
appropriate for the size of the child.
With Passenger Occupant
Classification System
In addition, the passenger side bag is
designed to only deploy when the
passenger occupant classification
sensor detects a passenger sitting on
the passenger's seat.
Warning!
If an occupant in the front passenger
seat is seated improperly, the occupant
may provide an output signal to the OCS
that is different from the occupant’s
properly seated weight input. This may
result in serious injury or death in a
collision.
Always wear your seat belt and sit
properly, with the seatback in an upright
position, your back against the seatback,
sitting upright, facing forward, in the center
of the seat, with your feet comfortably on
or near the floor.
Do not carry or hold any objects (e.g.,
backpacks, boxes, etc.) while seated in the
front passenger seat. Holding an object
may provide an output signal to the OCS
that is different than the occupant’s
properly seated weight input, which may
result in serious injury or death in a
collision.
Placing an object on the floor under the
front passenger seat may prevent the OCS
from working properly, which may result in
serious injury or death in a collision. Do not
place any objects on the floor under the
front passenger seat.

SAFETY

Warning Light/Beep
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to “Warning lights and messages”
paragraph in “Knowing your instrument
panel” chapter for further information.
Passenger Side Front Air Bag And
Child Restraint Systems
Rearward-facing child restraint systems
mustNEVER be fitted on the front seat
with an active passenger side air bag
since in the event of an impact the air
bag activation may cause fatal injuries
to the transported child.
ALWAYS comply with the instructions
on the label stuck on the passenger
side sun visor : A= Mexico market/ B=
U.S.A. and Canada market.
Warning!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely
affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
Warning!
Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do
not lean against the door or window. Sit
upright in the center of the seat.
Being too close to the Side Air Bags
during deployment could cause you to be
severely injured or killed.
Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could
lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The Side Air Bags work with your seat belt
to restrain you properly. In some collisions,
Side Air Bags won’t deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belt even though you have
Side Air Bags.

This system shuts off the passenger
front and side Air Bags and seat belt
pretensioner system, so make sure the
passenger Air Bag deactivation
indicator light turns on.
The air bag/seat belt pretensioner
system warning light flashes and the
passenger Air Bag deactivation
indicator light illuminates if the sensors
have a possible malfunction. If this
happens, the passenger front and side
Air Bags and seat belt pretensioner
system will not deploy.
Note:If a passenger is seated as
shown in the following figure the
passenger occupant classification
sensor cannot detect a passenger
sitting on the passenger's seat correctly
and the deployment/non-deployment of
the Air Bags cannot be controlled as
indicated in the passenger Air Bag
deactivation indicator light on/off
condition chart.
Warning!
If a child restraint system, child, small
teenager or adult in the front passenger
seat is seated improperly, the occupant
may provide an output signal to the
occupant classification sensor that is
different from the occupant’s properly
seated weight input. This may result in
serious injury or death in a collision.
Passenger Air Bag Deactivation
Indicator Lights
These indicator lights turn on to remind
you that the passenger front and side
Air Bags and seat belt pretensioner will
or will not deploy during a collision. Note:
The system requires about
10 seconds to alternate between
turning the passenger front and side
Air Bags and seat belt pretensioner
system on or off.
The passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light may turn on repeatedly if
luggage or other items are put on the
passenger seat, or if the temperature
of the vehicle's interior changes
suddenly.
The passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light may turn on for
10 seconds if the electrostatic capacity
on the passenger seat changes.
The air bag/seat belt pretensioner
system warning light might turn on if
the passenger seat receives a severe
impact.

system on the passenger seat, first,
reinstall your child restraint system
according to the procedure in this
Owner Handbook. Then, if the
passenger Air Bag deactivation OFF
indicator light still does not turn on,
and contact an Authorized Dealership
as soon as possible.If the passenger Air Bag
deactivation indicator light turns on
when an occupant is seated directly in
the passenger seat, have the
passenger readjust their posture by
sitting with their feet on the floor, and
then refastening the seat belt. If the
passenger Air Bag deactivation
indicator light remains turned on, slide
the passenger seat as far back as
possible. Contact an Authorized
Dealership as soon as possible. Passenger Air Bag Deactivation

SAFETY

If the passenger air bag deactivation
indicator light does not turn on when
the ignition is switched ON and does
not turn on as indicated in the
passenger air bag deactivation indicator
light on/off condition chart, do not allow
an occupant to sit in the passenger
seat and contact an Authorized
Dealership as soon as possible. The
system may not work properly in an
accident.
Warning!
If a child restraint system, child, small
teenager or adult in the front passenger
seat is seated improperly, the occupant
may provide an output signal to the
occupant classification sensor that is
different from the occupant’s properly
seated weight input. This may result in
serious injury or death in a collision.
Warning!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in front of an air bag. A deploying
passenger front air bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing
child restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Children 12 years or younger should
always ride buckled up in a vehicle with a
rear seat.
Warning!
No objects should be placed over or
near the air bag on the instrument panel or
steering wheel because any such objects
could cause harm if the vehicle is in a
collision severe enough to cause the air
bag to inflate.
Do not put anything on or around the air
bag covers or attempt to open them
manually. You may damage the air bags
and you could be injured because the air
bags may no longer be functional. The
protective covers for the air bag cushions
are designed to open only when the air
bags are inflating.
Relying on the air bags alone could lead
to more severe injuries in a collision. The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain
you properly. In some collisions, air bags
won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat
belts even though you have air bags.
Maintaining Your Air Bag
System
Warning!
Modifications to any part of the air bag
system could cause it to fail when you
need it. You could be injured if the air bag
system is not there to protect you. Do not
modify the components or wiring, including
adding any kind of badges or stickers to
the steering wheel hub trim cover or the
upper right side of the instrument panel. Do
not modify the front bumper, vehicle body
structure, or add aftermarket side steps or
running boards.
It is dangerous to try to repair any part
of the air bag system yourself. Be sure to
tell anyone who works on your vehicle that
it has an air bag system.
Do not attempt to modify any part of
your air bag system. The air bag may inflate
accidentally or may not function properly if
modifications are made. Take your vehicle
to an authorized dealer for any air bag
system service. If your seat, including your
trim cover and cushion, needs to be
serviced in any way (including removal or
loosening/tightening of seat attachment
bolts), take the vehicle to your authorized
dealer. Only manufacturer approved seat
accessories may be used. If it is necessary
to modify the air bag system for persons
with disabilities, contact your authorized
dealer.
