warning FIAT 500E 2014 2.G Owner's Manual

WARNING!
This vehicle does not have a center seating position.Do not use the center lower
LATCH anchorages to install a child seat in the center of the back seat.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The LATCH Lower Anchors
NOTE:
Never“share” a LATCH anchorage with two or more child restraints.
1.Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap of the child seat so
that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
2.Attach the lower hooks or connectors of the child restraint to the lower anchorages
in the selected seating position.
3.If the child restraint has a tether strap, connect it to the top tether anchorage.
See below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
4.Tighten all of the straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into
the seat.Remove slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
5.
Test that the child restraint is installed tightly by pulling back and forth on the child seat
at the belt path.It should not move more than 1 inch (25.4 mm) in any direction.
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
The seat belt in the passenger seating position are equipped with a Switchable Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight
around the child restraint.Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt
occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
Always use the tether anchor when using the seat belt to install a forward facing child
restraint, up to the recommended weight limit of the child restraint.
To Install A Child Seat Using An ALR:
1.Pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to pass it through the belt
path of the child restraint.Do not twist the belt webbing in the belt path.
2.Slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.”
3.Pull on the webbing to make the lap portion tight against the child seat.
4.To lock the seat belt, pull down on the shoulder part of the belt until you have pulled
all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor.Then, allow the webbing to retract back
into the retractor.As the webbing retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.This means
the seat belt is now in the Automatic Locking mode.

WARNING!
•In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside
the vehicle.The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become
so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.The
child and others could be severely injured or killed.Any child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
•Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with
a front passenger air bag.An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or
death to infants in this position.
•Only use a rearward-facing child restraint in a vehicle with a rear seat.
•Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint.The child could be severely injured or killed.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child re-
straint.
•An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child.Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
•If your vehicle is equipped with a split rear seat, make sure the tether strap does
not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.

WARNING!
•Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous.The sudden movement
of the seat could cause you to lose control.The seat belt might not be properly
adjusted, and you could be severely injured or killed.Only adjust a seat while the
vehicle is parked.
•Actuating the recliner handle will allow the seatback to swing forward.Do not
stand or lean in front of the seatback while actuating the handle.The seatback
may swing forward and strike you, causing injury.To avoid possible injury, place
your hand on the seatback while actuating the recliner handle.
•Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your chest.In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be
severely injured or killed.Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
