Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the
body of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.
The reel may block when the vehicle is parked on
a steep slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore,
the reel mechanism locks the belt if it is pulled and in
the event of sudden braking, collisions and on high
speed bends.SAFETY BELTS

The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and
rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A and insert it
into the buckle B, until the locking click is heard.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts, the vehicle is
fitted with pretensioners. These devices, in the event of
a violent frontal impact, rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way they ensure that the seat belt
adheres perfectly to the wearer before the restraining
action begins.
The buckle moves downwards to indicate that the
device has intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn
back up even when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning device,
wear the seat belt keeping it tight to the chest and
pelvis.
A slight amount of smoke may be detected during
operation of the pretensioners. This smoke is not
harmful and does not indicate a fire.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or
lubrication.
Anything that modifies its original conditions invalidates
its efficiency.
If unusual natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.) have
caused the device to be contaminated by water and
mud, it must be replaced.The pretensioner can only be used once.
After it is triggered, have it replaced at
a Fiat Dealership. The device expiry date is
shown on the plate in the glove compartment:
contact the FIAT Dealership when it is time to
replace the device.
WARNING
Operations which lead to knocks,
vibrations or localised heating (over
100 °C for a maximum of 6 hours) in the
area around the pretensioners may cause
damage or trigger them. These devices are not
affected by vibrations caused by irregularities of
the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs,
etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger safety, the front seat belt reels
contain a load limiter which allows controlled sag in
such a way as to dose the force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining action in the event
of frontal impact.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting (and ensuring
that all the other passengers also respect) the local laws
in force regarding the use of seat belts. Always fasten
the seat belts before starting.
Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers:
the risk of injury in the case of accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt.
Of course they must position the lower part of the belt
very low down so that it passes over the pelvis and
under the abdomen, see fig. 145.
The belt must not be twisted. The upper
part must pass over the shoulder and
cross the chest diagonally. The lower part must
adhere to the pelvis fig. 146, not to the
abdomen. Do not use devices (clips, clamps,
etc.) that prevent the belts from being snug to
the passengers’ body.
WARNING
Maximum protection is obtained if the
backrest is kept straight: the passenger’s
back must lean against the backrest and the
seat belt must be adhere firmly to the torso and
pelvis. Always fasten the seat belts on both the
front and the rear seats. Travelling without seat
belts fastened increases the risk of serious
injuries or even death in the event of a crash.

Under no circumstances should the seat
belt and pretensioner components be
removed or tampered with. Any operations
must be carried out by qualified and authorised
personnel only. Always go to a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
If the belt has been subjected to high
levels of stress, for example after an
accident, it should be changed completely
together with the attachments, fixing screws
and the pretensioner. In fact, even if the belt
has no visible defects, it could have lost its
resilience.
WARNING
Each seat belt must be worn by one
person only; passengers should not have
babies or children on their lap and use the belts
to protect both of them fig 147. In general, do
not use the seat belts to hold any object against
the body.
WARNING
HOW TO MAINTAIN THE SEAT BELTS
IN EFFICIENT CONDITIONS
For keeping the seat belts in efficient conditions,
observe the following:
❒always use the belts with the strap well stretched
and never twisted; make sure that it is free to run
without impediments;
❒after a serious accident, replace the belt even if it
does not appear damaged. Always replace the belt if
the pretensioners were deployed;
❒to clean the belts, wash by hand with water and mild
soap, rinse and leave to dry in the shade. Never use
strong detergents, bleach, paints or any other
substance which could damage the belt fibres;
❒prevent the reels from getting wet: their correct
operation is only guaranteed if water does not get
inside;
❒replace the seat belt when they demonstrate
significant wear or cuts.
