PRETENSIONERS
AND FORCE LIMITER
SYSTEM
(where provided)
132) 133) 134) 135) 136)
69) 70) 71) 72)
The front seat belts each have a
pre-tensioner system and force limiter
system (Single cab and Club cab).
The front seat belts and the rear outer
seat belts each have a pre-tensioner
system and force limiter system (Double
cab).
Pretensioner system
When the ignition switch or the
operation mode is under the following
conditions, if there is a frontal impact or
a side impact (vehicles equipped with
SRS side airbags and SRS curtain
airbags) severe enough to injure the
driver and/or front passenger, or when
a rollover or overturning of the vehicle is
detected (if so equipped), the
pretensioner system will retract their
respective seat belts instantaneously,
thus maximizing the seat belt’s
effectiveness.
Except for vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system: the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START”
position.
Vehicles equipped with the keyless
operation system: the operation mode
is in ON.NOTE The pretensioner seat belts will
be activated if the vehicle suffers a
severe impact, even if the seat belts are
not worn.
NOTE The pretensioner seat belts are
designed to work only once. After the
pretensioner seat belts have been
activated, we recommend you to have
them replaced by a Fiat Dealership.
SRS warning lamp (where provided)
This warning lamp is shared by the SRS
airbags and the pre-tensioner seat
belts. Refer to “SRS warning lamp”.
Force limiter system
In the event of a collision, each force
limiter system will effectively absorb the
load applied to the seat belt so as to
minimize the impact to the passenger.
WARNING
132)Each seat belt must be used by only
one person. Never travel with a child sitting
on the passenger's lap and a single belt to
protect them both fig. 158. In general, do
not place any objects between the person
and the belt.
133)The pretensioner may be used only
once. After it is triggered, have it replaced
at a Fiat Dealership.
134)Removing or otherwise tampering
with pretensioner and seat belt
components is strictly prohibited. Any
intervention on these components must be
performed by qualified and authorised
technicians. Always go to a Fiat Dealership.135)For maximum safety, keep the
backrest upright, lean back into it and
make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the
seat belts for both the front and rear seats!
Travelling without wearing seat belts will
increase the risk of serious injury and even
death in the event of an accident.
136)If the belt has been subjected to high
levels of stress, for example after an
accident, it should be changed completely
together with the attachments, attachment
fixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact,
even if the belt has no visible defects, it
may have lost its resilience.
IMPORTANT
69)To obtain the best results from your
pretensioner seat belt, make sure you have
adjusted your seat correctly and wear your
seat belt properly.
70)Installation of audio equipment or
repairs in the vicinity of the pretensioner
seat belts or floor console must be
performed in line with FCA Italy S.p.A.
guidelines. It is important to do so because
the work could affect the pretensioner
systems.
71)If you need to scrap the vehicle, please
consult a Fiat Dealership. It is important to
do so because unexpected activation of
the pretensioner seat belts could cause
injuries.

SAFETY

Only when the ignition switch or the
operation mode is under the following
conditions, the airbags will operate.
Except for vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system: the ignition
switch is in the “ON” or “START”
position.
Vehicles equipped with the keyless
operation system: the operation mode
is in ON.
When the airbag control unit detects
rollover of the vehicle, curtain airbags
will be deployed (if so equipped).
The airbags deployment produces a
sudden, loud noise, and releases some
smoke and powder, but these
conditions are not injurious, and do not
indicate a fire in the vehicle. People with
respiratory problems may feel some
temporary irritation from chemicals
used to produce the deployment; open
the windows after airbag deployment, if
safe to do so.
The airbags deflate very rapidly after
deployment, so there is little danger of
obscured vision.

The front passenger’s airbag ON-OFF
switch can be used to disable the front
passenger’s airbag. If you have a child
restraint system that cannot be fitted to
any seat other than the front passenger
seat, be sure to turn OFF the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch
before using it. Refer to “To turn an

Tips for starting
Except for vehicles equipped with
the keyless operation system
Do not operate the starter motor
continuously longer than 10 seconds;
doing so could run down the battery. If
the engine does not start, turn the
ignition switch back to “LOCK”, wait a
few seconds, and then try again. Trying
repeatedly with the starter motor still
turning will damage the starter
mechanism.
For vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system
The operation mode can be in any
mode to start the engine.
The starter motor will be turning for up
to approximately 15 seconds if the
engine switch is released at once.
Pressing the engine switch again while
the starter motor is still turning will stop
the starter motor. The starter motor will
be turning for up to approximately
30 seconds while the engine switch is
pressed. If the engine does not start,
wait for a while and then attempt to
start the engine again. Trying repeatedly
with the starter motor still turning will
damage the starter mechanism.Starting the engine
Except for vehicles equipped with
the keyless operation system
1. Insert the ignition key and fasten the
seat belt.
2. Make sure the parking brake is
applied.
3. Press and hold the brake pedal
down firmly with your right foot.
4. On vehicles equipped with M/T,
depress the clutch pedal all the way
and place the gearshift lever in the “N”
(Neutral) position. On vehicles equipped

5. Turn the ignition key to the “ON”
position. The diesel preheat indicator
lamp will first illuminate, and then after a
short time go out, indicating that
preheating is completed.NOTE If the engine is cold, the diesel
preheat indicator lamp is on for a longer
time.
NOTE When the engine has not been
started within approximately 5 seconds
after the diesel preheat indicator lamp
went out, return the ignition switch to
the “LOCK” position. Then, turn the
switch to the “ON” position to preheat
the engine again.
NOTE When the engine is warm, the
diesel preheat indicator lamp does not
come on even if the ignition key is
placed in the “ON” position. Start the
engine by turning the ignition key right
to the “START” position.
6. Turn the ignition key to the “START”
position without depressing the
accelerator pedal, and release it when
the engine starts.
NOTE Minor noises may be heard on
engine startup. These will disappear as
the engine warms up.
NOTE Vehicles for specific Countries,
when ambient temperature is low even
after the engine has been warmed up,
and when the gearshift lever is put in
the “N” (Neutral) position (M/T) or the
selector lever is put in the “P” (PARK)
position or “N” (NEUTRAL) position
(A/T), the idling speed may increase. It
