SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the chest
straight and rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, take hold the
tongue A-fig. 1and insert it into the buck-
le B-fig. 1, until hearing the locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a
short stretch, then pull it out again with-
out jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C-fig. 1. Guide the seat belt with your
hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it
from twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically
adapts to the body of the passenger wear-
ing it, allowing freedom of movement.When the car is parked on a steep slope
the reel mechanism may block; this is nor-
mal. The reel mechanism prevents the
webbing coming out when it is jerked or
if the car brakes sharply, in a collision or
when cornering at high speed.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat belts
with three anchor points and reel fig. 2.Rear seat belts shall be worn as shown in
the figure.
IMPORTANT When using side and cen-
tral seat belts at the same time, fasten first
the side seat belt and then the central one.

S.B.R. SYSTEM
The car is fitted with the S.B.R. system
(Seat Belt Reminder), consisting of a
buzzer which, together with the turning
on of warning light
panel, warns the driver and the front pas-
senger to fasten the seat belt.
The buzzer can be deactivated (until the
next engine stop) as follows:
❒fasten the driver’s seat belt;
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then re-
lease the driver’s seat belt.
For permanent deactivation, contact Fiat
Dealership.
The S.B.R. system can only be reset
through the set-up menu (see section
“Warning lights and messages” at para-
graph “Unfastened seat belts”).

of a violent collision, back
seat passengers not wearing seat belts
also represent a serious danger for
the front seat passengers.

properly secured at both
sides (red bands B not visible) to pre-
vent it moves forward in the event of
sharp braking causing injuries to pas-
sengers.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts,
the car is fitted with front and rear pre-
tensioners (where provided). These de-
vices, in the event of a violent crash,
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.
Front pretensioners activation is indicat-
ed by buckle withdrawal downwards.
Rear pretensioners (where provided) ac-
tivation is indicated by seat belt retractor
locking; the seat belt cannot be drawn
back up when guiding it manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-
gree of protection from the action of the
pretensioning device, wear the seat belt
keeping it firmly close to the chest and
pelvis.
Pretensioner activation may produce a
small amount of smoke. This smoke is in
no way toxic and presents no fire hazard.The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or greasing.
Anything that modifies its original condi-
tions invalidates its efficiency.
If due to unusual natural events (floods,
seas storm, etc.) the device has been af-
fected by water and mud, it must neces-
sarily be replaced.
LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger’s safety, the front
and rear (where provided) seat belt reels
contain a load limiter which allows con-
trolled sag in such a way as to dose the
force acting on the chest and shoulders
during the belt restraining action in case
of front crash.The pretensioner can only
be used once. After a colli-
sion that has triggered it, have it re-
placed at a Fiat Dealership. Preten-
sioner validity is written on the label
set on the door contour sheet metal.
Pretensioners should be replaced at
Fiat Dealership as this date ap-
proaches.
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 sur-
face or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc.
Contact a Fiat Dealership for any as-
sistance.
