2017 FIAT SPIDER ABARTH airbag off

Warning!Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt
under an arm or behind their back. In a
crash, the shoulder belt will not protect a
child properly, which may result in serious
injury or death. A child must always wear
both the lap and shoulder portions of the
seat belt correctly.
Child Seat Installation
Position
The passenger lap/shoulder belt can
easily be converted into the automatic
locking mode, which must be done to
hold the child-restraint system.
Note: To check if your seats have side
air bags: FCA vehicles equipped with
side air bag will have an embossed
"SRS AIRBAG" marking on the
outboard shoulder of the seats.
Follow the child restraint system
manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Depending on the type of child restraint
system, it may not employ seat belts
which are in automatic locking mode,
however if it uses an upper tether, it
may not be mounted properly in this vehicle as there is no safe way to
anchor the tether. Confirm whether the
child restraint system can be used with
seat belts by reading the child restraint
system manufacturer's instructions.
Passengers Seat Child Restraint
System Installation (With Passenger
Occupant Classification System)
Proceed as follows:
Make sure the ignition is switched
off.
Slide the seat as far back as
possible.
Place the child-restraint system on
the seat without putting your weight on
the seat and secure the child-restraint
system with the lap portion of the
lap/shoulder belt. See the
manufacturer's instructions on the
child-restraint system for belt routing
instructions.
To get the retractor into the
automatic locking mode, pull the
shoulder belt portion of the seat belt
until the entire length of the belt is out of
the retractor.
Push the child-restraint system firmly
into the vehicle seat. Be sure the belt
retracts as snugly as possible. A clicking noise from the retractor will be
heard during retraction if the system is
in automatic locking mode. If the belt
does not lock the seat down tight,
repeat the previous step and also this
one.
Seat your child safely in the
child-restraint system and secure the
child according to the instructions from
the child-restraint system manufacturer.
Note: Inspect this function before
each use of the child restraint system.
You should not be able to pull the
shoulder belt out of the retractor while
the system is in the automatic locking
mode. When you remove the
child-restraint system, be sure the belt
fully retracts to return the system to
emergency locking mode before
occupants use the seat belts.
Place the ignition in the ON position
and make sure the passenger air bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates
after installing a child restraint system
on the passenger seat. If the passenger
air bag deactivation indicator light does
not illuminate, remove the child restraint
system, place the ignition in the OFF
position, and then reinstall the child
restraint system.

SAFETY

If your vehicle is also equipped with
a passenger occupant classification
system, refer to the “Passenger
Occupant Classification System”
paragraph for further information.
If your vehicle is equipped with a
passenger occupant classification
system, the passenger Air Bag
deactivation indicator light illuminates
for a specified time after the ignition has
been placed in the ON position.
Small children must be protected by a
child-restraint system as stipulated by
law in every state and province. In
certain states and provinces, larger
children must use a child-restraint
system. Carefully consider which
child-restraint system is necessary for
your child and follow the installation
directions in this Owner's Manual as
well as the child-restraint system
manufacturer's instructions. Do not use a child-restraint system
which employs an upper tether
because there is no appropriate means
to anchor the tether.
Warning!If the Indicator Light remains illuminated
for an adult passenger, have an authorized
dealer service the air bag system
immediately. Failure to do so may cause
serious injury or death. If the Indicator Light
is illuminated with the words “PASS
AIRBAG OFF,” the Passenger Advanced
Front Air Bag will not deploy in the event of
a collision.
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in front of an air bag. A deploying
passenger front air bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing
child restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Children 12 years or younger should
always ride buckled up in a vehicle with a
rear seat. Warning! Unapproved modifications or service
procedures to the passenger seat
assembly, its related components, seat
cover or cushion may inadvertently change
the air bag deployment in case of a frontal
collision. This could result in death or
serious injury to the front passenger if the
vehicle is involved in a collision. A modified
vehicle may not comply with required
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
(FMVSS) and/or Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (CMVSS).
If it is necessary to modify the air bag
system for persons with disabilities, contact
your authorized dealer.06070400567567

SAFETY

Placing an object on the floor under the
front passenger seat may prevent the
occupant classification sensor from
working properly, which may result in
serious injury or death in a collision. Do not
place any objects on the floor under the
front passenger seat.
If there is a fault present in the occupant
classification sensor, both the Indicator
Light and the Air Bag Warning Light will
illuminate to show that the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag is deactivated.
Should this occur, the Passenger
Advanced Front Air Bag will remain
deactivated until the fault is cleared. This
indicates that you should take the vehicle
to an authorized dealer for service
immediately.
Warning!Do not carry or hold any objects (e.g.,
backpacks, boxes, etc.) while seated in the
front passenger seat. Holding an object
may provide an output signal to the
occupant classification sensor that is
different than the occupant’s properly
seated weight input, which may result in
serious injury or death in a collision. Passenger Air Bag Deactivation
Indicator Lights
These indicator lights turn on to remind
you that the passenger front and side
Air Bags and seat belt pretensioner will
or will not deploy during a collision.
Warning! If the Indicator Light remains illuminated
for an adult passenger, have an authorized
dealer service the air bag system
immediately. Failure to do so may cause
serious injury or death. If the Indicator Light
is illuminated with the words “PASS

Front Air Bag will not deploy in the event of
a collision.
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in front of an air bag. A deploying
