The pretensioner can only be used once.
Contact an Abarth Dealership to have it
replaced after it has been deployed. Consult the
label in the glove box to check the status of the
pretensioners. Contact an Abarth Dealership to
have the device replaced when the expiration
date approaches.
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 an Abarth 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.
F0U109Abfig. 109
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and have all car
passengers follow) any local regulations in force
concerning 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, expectant mothers must position the lower
part of the belt very low down so that it passes over the
pelvis and under the abdomen fig. 109.

128
IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in which any of
the safety devices are activated, contact an Abarth
Dealership to have the activated devices replaced and to
have the whole system checked.
Every check, repair and replacement operation
concerning the airbags must be carried out at Abarth
Dealerships.
If you are having the car scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at an Abarth Dealership first. If the
car changes ownership, the new owner must be
informed of how to use the airbags and the above
warnings: they must also be given this “Owner’s
Handbook”.
IMPORTANT Pretensioners, front airbags and front side
bags are deployed differently according to the type of
collision. Non-deployment of one of the devices does
not necessarily indicate a system malfunction. IMPORTANT In the event of a side-on crash, the
system offers the best protection if you are positioned
correctly on the seat because this allows the side bags
to inflate correctly.
IMPORTANT The front airbags and/or side bags may be
deployed if the car is subject to strong impact involving
the underbody area, such as violent impacts against
steps, kerbs or low obstacles, the car entering large
holes or hollows in the road.
IMPORTANT A small amount of dust will be released
when the airbags are deployed. The dust is harmless and
does not indicate the beginning of a fire. Furthermore,
the surface of the deployed bag and the interior of the
car may be covered with dusty residue. This dust can
irritate skin and eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in
the event of exposure.
The expiration dates of the explosive charge and the
clock wire are shown on a label contained in the glove
box. Contact an Abarth Dealership to have the devices
replaced when the expiry date approaches.
