seat adjustment FIAT FULLBACK 2016 1.G Owners Manual

27)Once the dead lock system is engaged
it is impossible to open the doors from
inside the vehicle. Therefore, before
engaging the system check that there is no
one left inside. If the remote control battery
is flat, the system can be disengaged only
by inserting the key metal insert in either of
the door locks as described previously: in
this case the device remains active only for
the rear doors.
28)This spring loaded system has
activation forces that were designed for
optimum comfort. Accidental knocks or a
strong gust of wind may release the
springs and close the doors
spontaneously.
29)On vehicles with the rear bumper,
never swing down the rear gate because
the rear gate could be damaged.
30)Never close the rear gate with the link
or wire left unhooked.SEATS

NOTE Do not climb or sit on the
armrest. Doing so could damage the
armrest.
NOTE The top surface of the armrest
contains a cup holder for rear seat
occupants. Refer to “Cup holder”.
WARNING
31)Do not attempt to adjust the seat while
driving. This can cause loss of vehicle
control and result in an accident. After
adjustments are made, ensure the seating
is locked in position by attempting to move
the seat forward and rearward without
using the adjusting mechanism.
32)After releasing the adjustment lever,
always check that the seat is locked on the
guides by trying to move it back and forth.
If it is not locked, the seat may move
unexpectedly and make you lose control of
the vehicle.33)For maximum safety, keep the back of
your seat upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis.
34)Make sure the backrests are properly
secured at both sides (not visible "red
notches) to prevent them from moving
forward, in the event of sharp braking, with
possible impact with of the passengers.
35)It is extremely dangerous to ride in the
cargo area (inside or outside) of a vehicle.
Also, the cargo area and rear seats should
never be used as a play area by children. In
a collision, people or children riding
unrestrained in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
36)Do not allow people or children to ride
in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and seat belts, and
make sure that everyone travelling in your
vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt,
or in the case of a child is strapped in a
child restraint.
37)To minimize the risk of personal injury in
the event of a collision or sudden braking,
the seatbacks should always be in the
almost upright position while the vehicle is
in motion. The protection provided by the
seat belts may be reduced significantly
when the seatback is reclined. There is
greater risk that the passenger will slide
under the seat belt, resulting in serious
injury, when the seatback is reclined.
38)Make sure the seat is adjusted by an
adult or with adult supervision for correct
and safe operation.
39)Do not place a cushion or the like
between your back and the seatback while
driving. The effectiveness of the head
restraints will be reduced in the event of an
accident.40)The reclining mechanism of the front
manual seat's seatback is spring loaded,
causing it to fold the seatback forward
when the lock lever is operated. When
using the lever, sit close to the seatback or
hold it with your hand to control its return
motion.
41)When sliding the seats, be careful not
to catch your hand or foot.
42)If your vehicle is equipped with the rear
seat, when sliding or reclining the seat
rearward, pay careful attention to the rear
seat passengers.
IMPORTANT
10)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as metal
buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a
small area, could cause it to break, thereby
damaging the upholstery.

HEAD RESTRAINTS
43) 44) 45) 46) 47) 48)
NOTE The head restraint height of the
outer seat in the rear seat cannot be
adjusted.
To adjust height
Adjust the head restraint height so that
the centre of the head restraint is as
close as possible to ear level to reduce
the chances of injury in the event of
collision. Any person too tall for the
head restraint to reach their seated ear
level, should adjust the restraint as high
as possible. To raise the head restraint,
move it upward. To lower the restraint,
move it downward while pushing the
height adjusting knob (A) in the direction
of the arrow. After adjustment, push the
head restraint downward and make
sure that it is locked.To remove
Lift the head restraint with the height
adjusting knob (A) pushed in.
To install
Make sure that the head restraint is
facing the correct direction, and then
insert it into the seatback while pressing
the height adjusting knob (A) in the
direction indicated by the arrow. The
head restraint stalk with the adjustment
notches (B) must be installed in the hole
with the adjusting knob (A).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
48AHA103055

WARNING
43)All adjustments must only be carried
out with the vehicle stationary and the
engine off. Head restraints must be
adjusted so that the head, rather than the
neck, rests on them. Only in this case can
they protect your head correctly. To take
best advantage of the protection provided
by the head restraint, adjust the seat back
so that you are sitting up straight and your
head is as close to the head restraint as
possible.
44)Driving without the head restraints in
place can cause you and your passengers
serious injury or death in an accident. To
reduce the risk of injury in an accident,
always make sure the head restraints are
installed and properly positioned when the
seat is occupied.45)Never place a cushion or similar device
on the seatback. This can adversely affect
head restraint performance by increasing
the distance between your head and the
restraint.
46)When a person sits in the middle
seating position of the rear seat, pull up the
head restraint to a height at which it locks
in position. Be sure to make this
adjustment before starting to drive. Serious
injuries could otherwise be suffered in the
result of an impact (Double cab).
47)Make sure that the height adjusting
knob (A) is correctly adjusted as shown in
the illustration, and also lift the head
restraints to ensure that they do not come
out of the seatback.
48)The shape and size of the head
restraint differs according to the seat.
Always use the correct head restraint
provided for the seat and do not install the
head restraint in the wrong direction.

steering wheel does not lock, the buzzer
sounds to alert the steering wheel is
unlocked.14)If the engine is stopped while driving,
do not open a door or press the LOCK
switch on the key until the vehicle stops in
a safe place. This could cause the steering
wheel to lock, making it impossible to
operate the vehicle.
15)Carry the key with you when leaving the
vehicle. If your vehicle needs to be towed,
perform the following operation to unlock
the steering wheel: on vehicles with M/T,
put the operation mode in ACC or ON, on

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.
114)
59) 60)
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.
113)
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.

WARNING
104)Seat belts should always be worn by
every adult who drives or rides in this
vehicle, and by all children who are large
enough to wear seat belts properly. Other
children should always use proper child
restraint systems.
105)Always place the shoulder belt over
your shoulder and across your chest.
Never put it behind you or under your arm.
106)One seat belt should be used by only
one person. Doing otherwise can be
dangerous.
107)The seat belt will provide maximum
protection if the recliner seatback is placed
in fully upright position. When the seatback
is reclined, there is greater risk that the
passenger will slide under the belt,
especially in a forward impact accident,
and may be injured by the belt or by
striking the instrument panel or seatbacks.
108)Remove any twists when using the
belt.
109)Never hold a child in your arms or on
your lap when riding in this vehicle, even if
you are wearing your seat belt. To do so
risks severe or fatal injury to your child in a
collision or sudden stop.
110)Always adjust the seat belt to a snug
fit.
111)Always wear the lap portion of the
belt over your hips.
112)Never push the button on the buckle
when travelling.113)Seat belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Pregnant
women should use the available seat belts.
This will reduce the likelihood of injury to
both the woman and the unborn child. The
lap belt should be worn across the thighs
and as snug against the hips as possible,
but not across the waist. Consult your
doctor if you have any additional questions
or concerns.
114)Never wear the lap portion of the belt
across your abdomen. During accidents it
can press sharply against abdomen and
increase the risk of injury.
115)Do not attempt to repair or replace
any part of the seat belt assemblies; we
recommend you to have this work done by
a Fiat Dealership. Incorrect repair or
replacement could reduce the
effectiveness of the belts and could result
in serious injury in the event of a collision.
116)Remember that, in the event of an
accident, 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.
117)Make height adjustment of the seat
belts when the car is stationary.
IMPORTANT
59)No modifications or additions should be
made which will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly
from being adjusted to remove slack.
60)The seat belts must not be twisted
when worn.61)We recommend you to have all seat
belt assemblies including retractors and
attaching hardware inspected after any
collision. We recommend that seat belt
assemblies in use during a collision be
replaced unless the collision was minor and
the belts show no damage and continue to
operate properly.
62)Once the pre-tensioner has activated, it
cannot be re-used. It must be replaced
together with the retractor.
104
SAFETY

132)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
133)A FORWARD FACING CHILD
RESTRAINT should be used in the rear
seat whenever possible; if it must be used
in the front passenger seat, adjust the seat
to the most rearward position. Failure to do
so could kill or cause serious injuries to the
child.
134)Always make sure that the diagonal
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear the
seat belt correctly.
135)Do not use the same lower
anchorage to install more than one child
restraint system.
136)If a Universal ISOFIX child seat system
is not fixed to all three anchorages, it will
not be able to protect the child correctly. In
a crash, the child could be seriously or
fatally injured. 86)
137)Fit the child restraint system when the
car is stationary. The child restraint system
is correctly fixed to the brackets when you
hear the click. Follow the instructions for
assembly, disassembly and positioning that
the Manufacturer must supply with the
child restraint system.
138)After installation, push and pull the
child restraint system back and forth, and
side to side, to see that it is positively
secured. If the child restraint system is not
installed securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of
accident or sudden stops.139)When the child restraint system is not
in use, keep your child restraint system
secured with the seat belt or remove it
from the vehicle in order to prevent it from
being thrown around inside the vehicle
during an accident.
140)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove the
child restraint system before making any
adjustment.
109

If it is difficult to latch the tether strap
hook, turn the hook sideways.
6. Push and pull the child restraint
system in all directions to be sure it is
firmly secured.
To remove
Remove the child restraint system in
accordance with the instructions
provided by the child restraint system’s
manufacturer.

WARNING
141)When installing a child restraint
system, remove the head restraint from the
seat.142)Child restraint anchorages are
designed to withstand only those loads
imposed by correctly fitted child restraints.
Under no circumstances are they to be
used for adult seat belts, harnesses, or for
attaching other items or equipment to the
vehicle.
143)When installing a child restraint
system on the separate seat, adjust the
seatback angle to 1 step rearward from the
first locking position.
144)For some type of child restraint, the
locking clip (A) should be used to help
avoid personal injury during a collision or
sudden manoeuvre. It must be fitted and
used in accordance with the child restraint
manufacturer’s instructions. The locking
clip must be removed when the child
restraint is removed.
IMPORTANT
68)The anchorages are only applicable for
child restraints fitted in the seat.
