KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE

SEAT BELTS
IN BRIEF
All the seats in the vehicle are
equipped with seatbelts with three
anchoring points and a retractor. The
reel mechanism operates locking
the belt in the event of sharp braking
or strong deceleration due to an
impact. This allows the belt strap to
slide freely and to adapt to the body
of the occupant. In the event of an
accident, the belt will lock to reduce
the risk of impact inside the
passenger compartment or of being
projected outside the vehicle. The
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.
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The belt should be worn keeping the
torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A
fig. 105 and insert it into 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.
Press the button C fig. 105 to release
the belt. Guide the belt while it is
rewinding to prevent it from twisting.
The retractor may lock up when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this
is perfectly normal.
Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks
the belt if it is pulled sharply or in the
event of sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
81)
HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
(For versions/markets, where provided)
To adjust, press button A fig. 106 and
raise or lower the handle B.
82) 83)
Always adjust the seat belt height to the
passenger's body. This precaution
may considerably reduce the risk of
injury in the event of a collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
Seat belt with retractor for front
central place on bench seat
The two-seater front bench is equipped
with an built-in seat belt (retractor on
seat) with three anchorage points
for the central position fig. 107.

WARNING
81)Never press button C fig. 105when
travelling.
82)The height of the seat belts must be
adjusted with the vehicle stationary.
83)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
possible positions.
SBR SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
The vehicle is provided with a system
called SBR (SeatBelt 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.
84)
13)
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the chest and pelvis.
