isofix FIAT PUNTO EVO 2010 1.G Owners Manual

138
Below is a summary of the safety rules to be
followed when carrying children:
1) 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.
2) When disengaging the passenger airbag, always check
the amber warning light on the instrument panel is per-
manently on to make sure that the airbag has actually been
deactivated.
3) Carefully follow the instructions that came with the
child seat, which the manufacturer must supply by law.
Keep the instructions in the car along with the other doc-
uments and this handbook. Do not use second hand child
seats without instructions.
4) Always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling
on it.
5) Only one child is to be strapped into each retaining sys-
tem; never carry two children using one child seat.
6) Always check the seat belts do not rest on the child’s
neck.
7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or
release the belts.
8) Never carry children on your lap, even newborns. No
one, however strong, can hold a child in the event of an
accident.
9) In the event of an accident, replace the child seat with
a new one.KNOWING

Do not place a child seat facing backwards
on the front seat if the passenger side
airbag is enabled. Deployment of the airbag in an
accident could cause fatal injuries to the baby re-
gardless of the severity of the collision. It is ad-
visable to always carry children in a child seat on
the rear seat, which is the most protected posi-
tion in the event of a collision.
WARNING
“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX”
CHILD RESTRAINT ASSEMBLY
SETUP
The car is provisioned for a Universal Isofix child restraint,
a new European standardised system for carrying children
safely. An example of such a seat is shown in fig. 139. The
Universal Isofix child seat covers weight group 1.
Due to its different attachment system, the Universal Isofix
child seat must be anchored to the special low metal rings
A-fig. 140, located between the backrest and rear cushion.
The upper belt (provided with the child seat) must be then
secured to ring B-fig. 141 located on the back of the back-
rest at child seat level. It is possible to have a mixed as-
sembly of the traditional child seats and the Universal Isofix
ones.
Remember that, in the case of Universal Isofix child seats,
you can use all those seats bearing the marking ECE R44/03
Universal Isofix.
