2015 FIAT 500X child seat

FITTING AN ISOFIX
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
84) 85) 86)
The rear side seats of the vehicle are
equipped with ISOFIX attachments, for
fitting child restraint systems quickly,
simply and safely.
The ISOFIX system allows the ISOFIX
child restraint systems to be fitted,
without using the vehicle's seat belt,
but directly securing the child restraint
system to three anchorages present on
the vehicle.
Traditional child restraint systems can
be fitted alongside ISOFIX child restraint
systems on different seats in the same
vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach it to the two metal
anchorages A fig. 76 located where the
rear seat cushion meets the backrest,
then fix the upper strap (available
together with the restraint system) to
the dedicated anchorage B fig. 77
located at the bottom behind the
backrest.
fig. 78 shows an example of a Universal
ISOFIX child restraint system for weight
group 1.
IMPORTANT The fig. 78 is indicative
and for assembly purposes only. Fit the
child restraint system according to
the instructions, which must be
included.NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system is used, only ECE R44
"ISOFIX Universal” (R44/03 or further
upgrades) type-approved child restraint
systems can be used (see fig. 79).
The other weight groups are covered
by specific ISOFIX child restraint
systems, which can be used only if
specifically tested for this vehicle (see
list of vehicles provided with the child
restraint system).

SUITABILITY OF
PASSENGER SEATS FOR
i-Size CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM USEThe rear side seats of the vehicle are
type-approved to house the state-
of-the-art i-Size child restraint systems.
These child restraint systems, built
and type-approved according to the
i-Size (ECE R129) standard, ensure
better safety conditions to carry
children on board a vehicle:
❒the child must be transported
rearward facing until 15 months;
❒child restraint system protection is
increased in the event of a side
collision;
❒the use of the ISOFIX system is
promoted to avoid faulty installation of
the child restraint system;
❒efficiency in the choice of the child
restraint system, which isn't made
according to weight anymore but
according to the child's height,
is increased;
❒compatibility between the vehicle
seats and the child restraint systems is
better: the i-Size child restraint systems
can be considered as "Super ISOFIX";
this means that they can be perfectly
fitted in type-approved i-Size seats, but
can also be fitted in ISOFIX (ECE R44)
type-approved seats.NOTE The vehicle seats, i-Size
type-approved, are marked by the
symbol shown in fig. 80.

Main recommendations to carry
children safely
❒Install the child restraint systems on
the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an
impact.
❒Keep children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as
possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.
❒If the passenger's front airbag is
deactivated always check the
dedicated warning light on the trim
located on the dashboard to make sure
that it has actually been deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint system.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle
along with the other documents and
this handbook. Do not use second-
hand child restraint systems without
instructions.
❒Only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry
two children using one child restraint
system.
❒Always check that the seat belts do
not rest on the child’s neck.
❒Always check that the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling on it.
❒While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or unfasten the belts.❒Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or
behind their back.
❒Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No one can hold
a child in the case of an accident.
❒In the event of an accident, replace
the child restraint system with a new
one.
WARNING
76)SEVERE DANGER When a front
passenger airbag is fitted, do not install
rearward facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an
impact.
77)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if
a rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger's side sun visor (see
the "Supplementary Restraint System
(SRS) - Airbag" paragraph).78)Should it be necessary to carry a child
on the passenger side front seat in a rear
facing child restraint system, the passenger
side front airbag and side bag must be
deactivated through the display main menu
(see the instructions in the "Display"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter), verifying deactivation by
checking whether the
OFFLED has
switched on in the trim located on the
dashboard. Move the passenger's seat as
far back as possible to avoid contact
between the child restraint system and the
dashboard.
79)Do not adjust the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
80)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided
by the Manufacturer.
81)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. In this
way, in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
82)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove
the child restraint system before making
any adjustment.
