SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1
The belt should be worn keeping the chest
straight and rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, take hold the
tongue Aand insert it into the buckle B,
until hearing the locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a
short stretch, then pull it out again with-
out 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.
The seat belt reel mechanism ensures that
the belt automatically adjusts to the wear-
er allowing him or her to move in com-
plete freedom.
When the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope the reel mechanism may block; this
is normal. The reel mechanism also pre-
vents the webbing coming out when it is
jerked or if the vehicle brakes sharply, is
in a collision or when cornering at high
speed.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three anchor points and reel.

of a violent collision, back
seat passengers not wearing seat belts
also represent a serious danger for
the front seat passengers.
WARNING
Make sure the backrest is
properly secured at both
sides to prevent it moves forward in
the event of sharp braking causing in-
juries to passengers.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELT
HEIGHT fig. 4Always adjust the height of the seat belt
to fit the person wearing it. This could
greatly reduce the risk of injury in the case
of collision. The belt is adjusted properly
when the webbing passes approximately
halfway between the edge of the shoulder
and the neck.
The belt is adjusted properly when the
webbing passes approximately halfway be-
tween the edge of the shoulder and the
neck.
To adjust, press the grip Aand raise or
lower the slider.
Only adjust seat belt height
when the vehicle is station-
ary.
WARNINGAfter you have made the ad-
justment, always make sure
that the slider is locked firmly in one
of the preset positions. To do this,
with the grip released, exert a further
pressure to allow the anchoring de-
vice to catch if release did not take
place at one of the preset positions.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts,
the vehicle is fitted with pretensioners.
These devices, in the event of a violent
front crash, rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way they ensure that
the seat belt adheres perfectly to the
wearer before the restraining action be-
gins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that the de-
vice has intervened; the seat belt cannot
be drawn back up even when guiding it
manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-
gree of protection from the action of the
pretensioning device, wear the seat belt
keeping it firmly close to the chest and
pelvis.
A small amount of smoke may be pro-
duced. This smoke is in no way toxic and
presents no fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or greasing.
Anything that modifies its original condi-
tions invalidates its efficiency.
If due to unusual natural events (floods,
seas storm, etc.) the device has been af-
fected by water and mud, it must neces-
sarily be replaced.LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger’s safety, the front
seat belt reels contain a load limiter which
allows controlled sag in such a way as to
dose the force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining ac-
tion in case of front crash.The pretensioner can only
be used once. After a colli-
sion that has triggered it, have it re-
placed at a Fiat Dealership.
Pretensioner validity is indicated on
the label in the glove compartment:
the pretensioners should be replaced
at a Fiat Dealership as this date ap-
proaches.
WARNING
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 vi-
brations caused by irregularities of the
road surface or low obstacles such as
kerbs, etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership
for any assistance.
S.B.R. SYSTEM
The vehicle is fitted with the S.B.R. system
(Seat Belt Reminder), consisting of a
buzzer which, together with the turning
on of warning light
panel, warns the driver and the front pas-
senger to fasten the seat belt.
The buzzer can be deactivated (until the
next engine stop) as follows:
❒fasten the driver’s and passenger’s seat
belt;
❒turn the ignition key to M;
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then re-
lease one of the seat belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact Fiat
Dealership.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must comply with (and have
the vehicle occupants follow) all the local
legal regulations concerning the use of seat
belts. Always fasten the seat belts before
starting.Seat belts are also to be worn by expec-
tant mothers: the risk of injury in the case
of accident is greatly reduced for them and
the unborn child if they are wearing a seat
belt.Of course they must position the lower
part of the belt very low down so that it
passes under the abdomen, see fig. 6.
fig. 6F0P0129mfig. 7F0P0130mfig. 8F0P0131m
The belt should not be twist-
ed. The upper part should
pass over the shoulder and cross the
chest diagonally. The lower part
should adhere to the pelvis and not
the abdomen of the passenger, see
fig. 5 Do not use any objects (pegs,
stoppers, etc.) to keep the belts away
from the body.
