FIAT TALENTO 2017 Owner handbook (in English)

The height-adjustable backrest and
seat belt track is recommended to
position the belt at the centre of the
shoulder. It must never rest on the neck
or arm. Choose an encompassing child
seat for better side protection.
INSTALLING A CHILD RESTRAINT
SEAT
Some child seats cannot be installed.
The diagrams on the following pages
show the child seat attachment
position.
Before using a child restraint system,
make sure that it can be fitted.
In the front seat
Carrying children in the front passenger
seat is country-specific. Check with the
current laws and follow the indications
in the following diagram.
Before installing a child seat in this seat
(if authorised):
lower the seat belt completely;
move the seat back completely;
incline the backrest slightly (about
25°);
for vehicles that are able to do so,
raise the seat as high as possible.
Raise headrest as far up as possible so
that it does not interfere with the child
restraint system (refer to the "Front
headrest" paragraph in the "Knowing
your vehicle” chapter).
After installing the child seat, you can
move the seat forwards again (to leave
enough space in the rear for other
passengers or child seats). With a
rear-facing child restraint system, it
should not touch the dashboard or
anything in front of it.
Do not change any other adjustments
after installing the child seat.
In the rear side seat
The cot is installed crosswise with
respect to the vehicle and takes up at
least two seats. Place the child's head
opposite the door. Move the front seat
as far forward as possible to install the
child seat backwards from driving
direction, then move it back to
maximum so it does not come into
contact with the child seat.
For the safety of children who are facing
forward, do not move the seat in front
of the child back farther than the centre
of its travel, do not incline the backrest
excessively (25° at most) and raise the
seat up as far as possible.Remove the headrest from the rear seat
with the child restraint system on it
(refer to the "Rear headrest" paragraph
in the "Knowing your vehicle” chapter).
This must be done before positioning
the child seat.
Make sure that the forward-facing child
restraint system is resting against the
seat backrest.
In the rear central seat
Make sure the seat belt is adapted to
your child seat. Consult a Fiat
Dealership.

FITTING A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
WITH SEAT BELTS
128) 129)
The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure it works in case of abrupt
braking or collision. Comply with the
belt direction indicated by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
Check that the seat belt is fastened
correctly.
Check that the child seat is correctly
locked in place by moving it left/right
and forwards/backwards: the seat
should remain firmly in place. Make sure
that the child restraint system is not
installed crosswise and is not resting
against a window.
