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 must be replaced.
To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the
pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight across the chest and pelvis.PRETENSIONERS
To make the protective action of the
seat belts even more effective, the
Fiat Strada is fitted with
pretensioners. These devices “feel”,
through a sensor, the occurrence of
a severe impact, retracting the belts
by a few centimetres. This
guarantees that the belt adheres
perfectly to the body of the
occupants, before the restraining
action begins. The reel locks to
indicate that the pretensioner has
intervened; the seat belt cannot be
drawn back up even when guided.
A small amount of smoke may be
emitted. This smoke is not harmful
and does not indicate a fire.The pretensioners
require neither internal
lubrication nor maintenance
interventions. The
pretensioners must not be
tampered with under any
circumstances. This could
compromise the operation of
the safety devices. Should
intervention be necessary,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
