WARNING
80)Never press button C fig. 86when
travelling.
81)The height of the seat belts must be
adjusted with the vehicle stationary.
82)After adjustment, always check that the
cursor to which the ring is fastened is
locked in one of the preset positions.
Release the grip and push downwards to
enable the locking device to click if the grip
has not been released in one of the

SBR SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The vehicle is equipped with a
system called SBR. (Seat Belt
Reminder), composed of a buzzer
which, along with the flashing
warning light on the instrument
panel, warns the driver that their seat
belt or (for versions/markets, where
provided) the passenger's seat belt is
not correctly fastened.
For permanent deactivation, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
With multifunction display, the SBR
system can also be reactivated through
the set-up menu.
PRE-TENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency of
the front seat belts, the vehicle is fitted
with pretensioners. These devices, in
the event of a head-on crash or side
impact, rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way, they ensure
that the belts fit tightly to the wearer
before the restraining action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
toward the retractor.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not involve 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 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 chest and pelvis.
