64) 65) 66) 67) 68)36) 37) 38) 39) 40) 41) 42) 43)
This is a driving assistance system,
which includes a laser sensor, locatedin the upper part of the windscreen
fig. 62, that can detect the presence of
nearby vehicles in the front.
In the event of an imminent collision the
system intervenes by automatically
braking the vehicle to prevent the crash
or reduce its effects.
The system only works if:
❒the ignition key is turned to MAR;
❒the vehicle speed is between 5
and 30 km/h;
❒a forward gear is engaged;
❒the front seat belts are fastened.
Anyway, the system can be deactivated
(then reactivated) through the Setup
Menu on the display.The system activates if there is risk of
imminent collision and the driver does
not press the brake pedal promptly.
If the system detects that the vehicle
ahead could be hit, it may prepare the
vehicle to a possible emergency
braking.
If the driver does not carry out any
action to prevent the collision, the
system may automatically slow down
the vehicle, in order to prepare it to
a possible impact.
Versions with Start&Stop system:at
the end of the automatic braking, the
Stop/Start system will activate.
Versions equipped with manual
gearbox: at the end of the automatic
braking the engine may stall and turn
off, unless the clutch pedal is pressed.
Versions equipped with Dualogic
automatic transmission(for
versions/markets, where provided): at
the end of braking the last gear stored
remains engaged.
IMPORTANT After the vehicle is
stopped, the brake calipers may be
locked for about 2 seconds for safety
reasons. Make sure you press the
brake pedal if the vehicle moves slightly
forwards.61

37)Sensor operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.
vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicles driving in a transverse
or opposite way on the same lane, bend
with a small radius of curvature), by road
surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure
the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
sensor operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
38)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the sensor. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned,
in order not to cover the sensor operating
range.
39)If the windscreen must be replaced
due to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively a Fiat Dealership.
Do not replace the windscreen on your
own, risk of malfunction! It is advisable to
replace the windscreen if it is damaged
in the area of the laser sensor.
40)Do not tamper with nor operate on the
laser sensor. Do not close the openings
in the aesthetic cover located under the
interior rear view mirror. In the event of
a sensor failure, contact a Fiat Dealership.
41)If you are driving on roads close to
trees with protruding branches it is
advisable to deactivate the system to
prevent the branches at the height of the
bonnet or the windscreen from interfering
with the system.42)Do not cover the operating range of the
sensor with stickers or other objects. Also
pay attention to other objects on the
bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make
sure they do not interfere with the light
emitted by the laser.
43)If a trailer or a vehicle is towed, the
system must be deactivated with the
display Setup Menu.
44)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
45)iTPMS does not relieve the driver from
the obligation to check the tyre pressure
every month; it is not to be considered
a system to replace maintenance or a
safety system.
46)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
47)The iTPMS only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
48)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
49)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.
OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMSThe most important safety equipment
of the vehicle comprise the following
protection systems:
❒seat belts;
❒SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
❒head restraints;
❒child restraint systems;
❒front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see paragraph "Head
restraints" in chapter "Knowing your
vehicle".

SEAT BELTS
69) 70)
USING THE SEAT BELTSThe driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to
the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the torso straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 66 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.
On removal, if the belt jams, let it rewind
for a short stretch, then pull it out
again without jerking.To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C and guide the seat belt with your
hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it
from twisting.
The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
retractor mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions or
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor. Wear the rear seat belts
as shown in fig. 67.
IMPORTANT When returning the rear
seat from the tilted position to the
normal operating position, take care to
refit the seat belt correctly, in order to
guarantee prompt availability every
time.
500L LIVING 7-seater versionsThe third row rear seats have inertia
seat belts with three anchor points and
retractor. Wear the rear seat belts as
shown in fig. 68.PRO versionsThe vehicle is equipped with rear seat
approved for only two occupants (see
fig. 69) with three point seat belts
and retractor.

WARNING
69)Never press button C fig. 66 when
travelling.
70)Remember that in the event of a violent
impact the rear seat passengers not
wearing seat belts are exposed to a very
serious risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat occupants.
SBR (Seat Belt
Reminder) SYSTEMThis system consists of a device which,
in conjunction with the
warning
light coming on in the instrument panel
fig. 70 (initially in fixed mode with
continuous acoustic signal and then in
flashing mode with intermittent acoustic
signal), warns the driver and front
passenger that their seat belts have not
been fastened.
To deactivate the acoustic warning
permanently go to a Fiat Dealership.
The acoustic warning can be
reactivated at any time through the
display Setup Menu.
DRIVERIf the driver is the only occupant and
the seat belt is not fastened, when 20
km/h is exceeded or when travelling
at a speed from 10 to 20 km/h for
longer than 5 seconds, an acoustic
signal sequence will be started (front
seats) consisting of a tone for 6
seconds followed by a 90 second
beep. The
warning light will flash.
The warning light will stay on constantly
at the end of the cycle until the engine
is stopped. The acoustic signal will
be interrupted immediately when the
driver's seat belt is fastened and the
warning light will switch off.
The reminder cycle (acoustic and visual)
will be repeated as described above if
the seat belt is unfastened while
travelling.
PASSENGERA similar solution applies for the
passenger, but the indication is
interrupted when the passenger leaves
the car as well.
If both the front seat belts are
unfastened with car in motion and
within a few seconds one from
the other, the acoustic signal and
activation of the warning light will refer
to the most recent event.

PRETENSIONERS
71) 72) 73) 74)
50)
The vehicle is equipped with front seat
belt pretensioners, which draw back
the seat belts by several centimetres in
the event of a strong frontal impact.
This guarantees the perfect adherence
of the seat belts to the occupant's
bodies before the retention action
begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
toward the retractor.
This vehicle is also equipped with a
second pretensioner (fitted in the kick
plate area). Its activation is signalled by
the shortening of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not indicate any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events (floods,
sea storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and/or mud, contact
a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced.IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the torso and pelvis.
LOAD LIMITERSTo increase safety in the event of an
accident, the front seat belt retractors
contain a load limiter which controls the
force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining
action in the event of a head-on
collision.GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING THE SEAT BELTSRespect and ensure that all the other
occupants of the vehicle comply with
the local laws in force regarding the use
of seat belts. Always fasten the seat
belts before setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the event of an accident is reduced for
them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt.Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes over the pelvis and under
the abdomen fig. 71. While pregnancy
increases, the driver must adjust both
seat and steering wheel to have full
control over the vehicle (pedals and
steering wheel should be easily
accessed). The maximum clearance
should be kept between the abdomen
and the steering wheel.
The seat belt must not be twisted. The
upper part must pass over the shoulder
and cross the chest diagonally fig. 72.
The lower part must adhere to the
pelvis, not to the abdomen of the
occupant. Never use devices (clips,
clamps, etc.) that hold the seat belt
away from your body.
