2017 FIAT QUBO warning

FITTING A CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
WITH SEAT BELTS
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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 compar tment . In this way, in the case
of sudden braking or an accident , it will not
cause injuries to the occupants.
WARNING
After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat : always remove
the child restraint system before making any
adjustment .
WARNING
Always make sure that the diagonal
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the child.
In the event of an accident the seat belt will
not be able to secure the child, with the risk of
injury, including fatal injury.Therefore the
child must always wear the seat belt correctly.
WARNING
The figures are only examples for fitting
purposes. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which must be
included.

GROUP 0 and 0+
Infants up to 13 kg must be carried with a rearward
facing child restraint system of the type shown in
fig. 110 which, supporting the head, does not induce
stress on the neck in the event of sudden
decelerations.
The rear facing child restraint system is restrained by
the vehicle seat belts, as shown in fig. 110 and it
must restrain the child in turn with its own belts.GROUP 1
Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may be
transported in forward facing child restraint systems

GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the vehicle seat
belts directly fig. 112.
In this case, the child restraint system is used to
position the child correctly with respect to the seat
belts so that the diagonal belt section crosses the
child’s chest and not the neck, and the lower part is
snug on the pelvis not the abdomen.GROUP 3
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg, there are
dedicated restraint systems that allow the seat belt
to be worn correctly.
The fig. 113 shows the correct child positioning on
the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts
like adults.

INSTALLING AN ISOFIX SEAT
(for versions/markets, where provided)On some versions the external rear seats are
equipped with ISOFIX attachments, for fitting child
restraint systems quickly, simply and safely.
The ISOFIX system lets you install the ISOFIX child
restraining system without using the car seat belts
but connecting them directly to the carseat with
three anchors in the car.
Traditional child restraint systems can be fitted
alongside Isofix child restraint systems on different
seats in the same vehicle.
As an example, fig. 114 shows an example of a
Universal Isofix child restraint system for weight
group: 1.
WARNING The fig. 114 is indicative and for
assembly purposes only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which must be
included.
The other weight groups are covered by specific
ISOFIX child restraint systems, which can be used
only if specifically tested and approved for this vehicle
(see list of vehicles provided with the child restraint
system).
To install an ISOFIX child restraint system, attach it
to the two metal anchorages A fig. 115 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. 116 located at the bottom behind the backrest.
Remember that, in the case of Universal Isofix child
seats, you can use all seats bearing the marking
ECE R44 (R44/03 or later updates) "Universal Isofix".

If a Universal/ISOFIX child restraint system is
not fixed to all three anchorages, it will not be
able to protect the child correctly. In a crash,
the child could be seriously or fatally injured.

Below is a summary of the main safety rules
to be followed when carrying children
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
warning light always lighted on the
central dashboard fig. 117 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.
If the vehicle has been involved in an accident
of medium-high severity, replace the child restraint
system with a new one. In addition, and
depending on the type of child restraint system
installed, replace the isofix anchorages or the seat
belt with which the child restraint system was
connected.
For any child restraint system mounted facing the
vehicle’s direction of travel on the external rear
seats, independently of its weight group, mount it
after removing the corresponding rear seat
headrest. This does NOT apply to child restraint
systems that consist only of a cushion (without
backrest). You should install such child restraint
systems when the corresponding headrest is
mounted.
