2014 FIAT 500E belt

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.

5.Try to pull the webbing out of the retractor.If it is locked, you should not be able to
pull out any webbing.If the retractor is not locked, repeat the last step.
6.Finally, pull up on any extra webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child re-
straint while you push the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle
seat.
7.If the child restraint has a top tether strap and the seating position has a top tether
anchorage, connect the tether strap to the anchorage and tighten the tether strap.
See below for directions to attach a tether anchor.
8.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 direc-
tion.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle
Seat Belt):
When installing a forward-facing child restraint, always secure the top tether strap, up to
the tether anchor weight limit, whether the child restraint is installed with the lower an-
chors or the vehicle seat belt.
1.Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the
anchor and the child seat.
2.If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head restraint,
and where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the
two posts.If not possible, lower the head restraint and pass the tether strap around
the outboard side of the head restraint.
3.Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the top tether anchorage and
remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.

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.
REAR SEATS
Folding Rear Seatback
•To fold each rear seatback, push down on the button located on the upper outboard
side of the seat and fold the seatback flat.
NOTE:
Be sure that the front seats are fully up-
right and positioned forward.This will allow
the rear seatback to fold down easily.

Sun Shade
•For vehicles equipped with either a power sunroof or a fixed glass roof, there is a sun
shade that can be open or closed.To open the sun shade press the tab and move the
shade to a full open position.
WARNING!
•Do not let children play with the sunroof, or leave children unattended in the ve-
hicle, and do not leave the key in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible
to children).Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by
the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch.Such entrapment
may result in serious injury or death.
•In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof.You could also be seriously injured or killed.Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
•Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof.Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening.Injury
may result.
WIND BUFFETING
•Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound.If buffeting
occurs with the windows down, or top down (convertible models), adjust one or both
side windows up or down slightly.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
41

WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and tires.A tire could explode and injure
someone.Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for lon-
ger than 30 seconds continuously without stopping when you are stuck and do not let
anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR).The main purpose of an
EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deploy-
ment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s sys-
tems performed.The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and
safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less.The EDR in this
vehicle is designed to record such data as:
•How various systems in your vehicle were operating.
•Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened.
•How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal.
•How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which
crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data
is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g.
name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded.However, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data
routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the ve-
hicle or the EDR is needed.In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties such as
law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
