SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
Wear the belt keeping the torso upright and rested
against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the tongue A fig. 96and
insert it into the buckle B, until the locking click is
heard.
If the seat belt jams, let it rewind for a short stretch,
then pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the
seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.
WARNING
Never press button C fig. 96 when
t
ravelling.
Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to
the body of the passenger wearing it, allowing
freedom of movement.
The reel 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.
All rear seats are fitted with inertia seat belts with
three anchor points and a reel.
WARNING
Remember that , in the event of a violent
c
ollision, back seat passengers not
wearing seat belts represent a serious danger
for the front seat passengers as well as for
themselves.

The rear seat belts must be used as shown in the
diagram in fig. 97 or fig. 98.
IMPORTANT The red band B on the levers A used
for folding the seat will not appear when the
backrest is correct secured. This red band indicates
that the backrest is not secured.IMPORTANT When putting the seats back to their
normal position, make sure the seat belts are
positioned so they are ready to use.
WARNING
Make sure the backrest is properly
sec
ured at both sides (red bands B not
visible) to prevent it moving forward in the
event of sharp braking, causing injuries to
passengers.

SBR SYSTEM
The vehicle is equipped with the SBR (Seat Belt
Reminder) system, which warns the driver and the
front passenger if their seat belt is not fastened,
as follows:
❒warning light
comes on and the buzzer sounds
continuously for the first 6 seconds;
❒warning light
blinks and intermittent activation
of the beeper for the next 90 seconds.
For permanent deactivation, contact a Fiat
Dealership.
The SBR system can also be reactivated through the
setup menu.
PRETENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency of the front seat
belts, the vehicle is fitted with pretensioners. These
devices, in the event of a violent 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.
The seat belt reel locks to indicate that the
pretensioner has cut in; the seat belt cannot be
drawn back up even when guided manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioners,
wear the seat so it fits snugly over the chest and
hips.
A small amount of smoke may be produced when the
pretensioners cut in. This smoke is not toxic and
does not indicate a fire.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or lubrication. Anything that modifies its original
conditions invalidates its efficiency. If, due to unusual
natural events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the device
has been affected by water and mud, it absolutely
must be replaced.

WARNING
The pretensioner can be used only once.
G
o to a Fiat Dealership to have it
replaced after it has been deployed. Consult the
card in the glove box to check the status of
the pretensioners. Go to a Fiat Dealership to
have the device replaced when the expiration
date approaches.
Operations which lead to knocks,
vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C
for a maximum of 6 hours) in the area
around the pretensioners may cause damage or
trigger them.These devices are not affected by
vibrations caused by irregularities of the road
surface or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc .
Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.
LOAD LIMITERS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To increase passenger safety, the front and rear (for
versions/markets where provided) seat belt reels
contain a load limiter which controls the force acting
on the chest and shoulders during the belt
restraining action in the event of a head-on collision.GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting (and ensuring
that all the other passengers also respect) the local
laws in force regarding the use of seat belts. Always
fasten the seat belts before setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by expectant mothers:
the risk of injury in the event of an accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn child if they are
wearing a seat belt. Pregnant women must position
the lower part of the belt very low down so that
it passes over the hips and under the abdomen (see
fig. 99).
IMPORTANT The belt must not be twisted. The
upper part must cross the shoulder and the chest
diagonally. The lower part must fit over the hips (as
shown in fig. 100) rather than the abdomen of the
passenger. Do not use devices (clips, etc.) to hold the
seat belt away from your body.

WARNING
For maximum safety, keep the back of
y
our seat upright , lean back into it
and make sure the seat belt fits closely across
your chest and hips. Always fasten the seat belts
on both the front and the rear seats! Travelling
without seat belts will increase the risk of
severe injury and even death in the event of an
accident .
WARNING
Never disassemble or tamper with the
seat
belt or pretensioner components. All
operations must be performed by qualified and
authorised personnel. Always go to a Fiat
Dealership.IMPORTANT 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. 101. In general, do not place any objects
between the person and the belt.
WARNING
If the belt has been subjected to heavy
s
tress, for example after an accident ,
it should be changed completely together with
the anchors, anchor fastening screws and the
pretensioner. In fact , even if the belt has no
visible defects, it could have lost its resilience.
