SEAT BELTS
To protect you and your passengers in
the event of an accident, it is the most
important that the seat belts be worn
correctly while driving.
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat
belt equipped with an airbag each have
a pre-tensioner system and the rear
seat belts equipped with a dual stage
airbag system each have a
pre-tensioner system. These belts are
used the same way as a conventional
seat belt.
Refer to “Seat belt pre-tensioner
system and force limiter system”.

3-point type seat belt (with
emergency locking mechanism)
This type of belt requires no length
adjustment. Once worn, the belt
adjusts itself to the movement of
wearer, but in the event of a sudden or
strong shock, the belt automatically
locks to hold the wearer’s body.
NOTE You can check if the belt locks
by pulling it forward quickly.To fasten
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly while
holding the latch plate.
NOTE When the seat belts cannot be
pulled out in a locked condition, pull the
belts once forcefully and then return
them. After that, pull the belts out
slowly once again.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle
until a “click” is heard.

To unfasten
Hold the latch plate and push the
button on the buckle.NOTE As the belt retracts
automatically, keep the latch plate held
while retracting so that the belt stows
slowly. Failure to do this could damage
the vehicle.

SEAT BELT INSPECTION
Check the belts for cuts, worn or frayed
webbing and for cracked or deformed
metallic parts. Replace the belt
assembly if defective.
A dirty belt should be cleaned with
neutral detergent in warm water. After
rinsing in water, let it dry in the shade.
Do not attempt to bleach or re-dye the
belts because this affects their
characteristics.

176)Do not modify your steering wheel,
seat belt retractor or any other SRS
components. For example, replacement of
the steering wheel, or modifications to the
front bumper or body structure can
adversely affect SRS performance and lead
to possible injury.
177)If your vehicle has received any
damage, we recommend you to have the
SRS inspected to ensure it is in proper
working order.
178)On vehicles with the side airbag, do
not modify your front seats, centre pillar
and centre console. It can adversely affect
SRS performance and lead to possible
injury.
179)If you found any tear, scratch, crack
or damage to the portion where the airbag
is stored, you should have the SRS
inspected by a Fiat Dealership.ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
Brake assist system (where
provided)
The brake assist system is a device
assisting drivers who cannot depress
the brake pedal firmly such as in
emergency stop situations and provides
greater braking force.
If the brake pedal is depressed
suddenly, the brakes will be applied
with more force than usual.
180)
NOTE Once the brake assist system is
operational, it maintains great braking
force even if the brake pedal is lightly
released. To stop its operation,
completely remove your foot from the
brake pedal.
NOTE When the brake assist system is
in use while driving, you may feel the
brake pedal attempt to resist, the pedal
moves in small motions in conjunction
with the operation noise, or the vehicle
body and the steering wheel vibrate.
This occurs when the brake assist
system is operating normally and does
not indicate faulty operation. Continue
to depress the brake pedal.
NOTE When the active stability &
traction control (ASTC) indicator lamp is
illuminated, the brake assist system
may not function.Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
(where provided)
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps
prevent the wheels from locking up
when braking. This helps maintain
vehicle drivability and steering wheel
handling.
Driving hints
Always keep a safe distance from the
vehicle in front of you. Even if your
vehicle is equipped with the ABS, leave
a greater braking distance when:
Driving on gravel or snow-covered
roads.
Driving with tyre chains installed.
Driving on roads where the road
surface is pitted or has other
differences in surface height.
Driving on uneven road surfaces.
Operation of ABS is not restricted
situations where brakes are applied
suddenly. This system may also prevent
the wheels from locking when you drive
over manholes, steel roadwork plates,
road markings, or any uneven road
surface.
When the ABS is in use, you may feel
the brake pedal pulsation and the
vibrations of the vehicle body and
steering wheel. It may also feel as if the
pedal resists being pressed.
In this situation, simply hold the brake
pedal down firmly. Do not pump the
brake, which will result in reduced
braking performance.
