Press functions
When driving, the steering wheel
manoeuvres can be not enough to
automatically bring the lever back to its
original position. In this case, move the
lever 1 halfway and release it: it will
return to its starting point and the
direction indicator lights will flash three
times.
WARNING
33)Before travelling at night: make sure
the electrical equipment is in good
condition and check the headlight height (if
you do not have your usual load
conditions). Check that nothing interferes
with the headlight beams (dust, mud,
snow, etc.).34)The daytime running lights are an
alternative to the dipped headlights for
driving during the daytime in countries
where it is compulsory to have lights on
during the day; where it is not compulsory,
the use of daytime running lights is
permitted.
35)Daytime running lights cannot replace
dipped beam headlights when driving at
night or through tunnels. The use of
daytime running lights is governed by the
highway code of the country in which you
are driving. Comply with legal
requirements.
36)When you stop by the side of the road,
if the tailgate is completely open, the rear
lights might not be visible. Warn other road
users that your vehicle is there by placing
the pre-signal triangle or other device
allowed by law in the country you are
driving in.

tank, check that the cap and flap are
closed, start the engine and WAIT
10 seconds with the vehicle not moving
and engine started before starting off again.

These systems are designed to function
separately or at the same time in case
of a frontal collision.
Depending on the violence of the
collision, the system activates:
seat belt locking.
seat belt pre-tensioner (which
activates the belt tension);
the airbags.
WARNING
85)Check the safety devices after every
accident.
86)Any intervention on the complete
system (pre-tensioners, airbags, electronic
modules, wiring) or re-use on another
vehicle, even if identical, is strictly
prohibited.
IMPORTANT
19)In order to prevent accidental
deployments that could cause damage,
only qualified Fiat Dealership personnel can
intervene in pre-tensioners and air bags.
20)Checking the electrical features of the
actuator can only be effected by specifically
prepared personnel using the proper tools.
IMPORTANT
3)When the vehicle is scrapped, see a Fiat
Dealership to remove the pre-tensioner gas
generator and air bags.
SEAT BELTS
87)
For obvious safety reasons, always
fasten the seat belts. In addition, always
comply with the laws of the country you
are in.
IMPORTANT For full effectiveness of the
rear seat belts, make sure that the
single rear seat is correctly locked in
place. Refer to the "Rear single seats”
paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle”
chapter.
Before starting the engine, first adjust
the driving position and adjust the seat
belts to obtain the best possible
protection (for all the passengers).
The safety belts must always be kept
clean. Use products selected by Fiat
Dealership services or soap and warm
water, rubbing with a sponge and
drying with a dry cloth. Do not use
detergents or chemical products.
ADJUSTING THE DRIVER'S
POSITION
Sit with your back against the
backrest (after taking off clothing like
coat, jacket, etc.). This is an essential
factor for correctly positioning the back;
adjust the seat position according to
the pedals. The seat position must be
so as to allow pressing the clutch pedal
all the way. The backrest must be
inclined so arms are slightly bent;
91

adjust the head restraint. For
maximum safety, the distance between
the head and headrest must be
minimum;
adjust cushion (seat) height. This
adjustment optimises visibility;
adjust the steering wheel.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT BELTS
Sit firmly on the backrest.
The chest belt 1 fig. 169 must be as
close as possible to the neck without
touching it.
The waist belt 2 fig. 169 must be
resting on the thighs and against the
pelvis.
The belt must adhere as much as
possible to the body. (e.g. avoid
wearing clothes that are too bulky or
placing obstacles between the body
and belt).Locking
Pull out the belt slowly without forcing it
and insert the tab 3 fig. 170 into the
buckle 5 (make sure it is locked by
pulling the tab 3).
Repeat the operation if the seat belt
blocks.
If the belt is completely blocked, pull
slowly but firmly and draw out at least
3 cm. Let it rewind normally then pull it
out again. If the problem persists,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Front seat belts not fastened
warning light
This is on the central display and turns
on when the engine is started. Then, if
the seat belt is not fastened and the
vehicle reaches 16 km/h, it flashes and
an acoustic warning turns on for about
2 minutes.
Depending on the vehicle, it flashes if
the front passenger seat belt is not
fastened.Adjusting the front seat belt height
Move the lever 6 fig. 171 to select the
adjustment position so the chest belt 1
fig. 169 adheres to the body as
described above.
After adjusting, make sure it is properly
locked in place.
Unlocking
Press button 4 fig. 170, the belt
rewinds. Accompany it as it rewinds.
Rear side belts
For the first row in the rear, you must
use belts 8 fig. 172;
for the last row at the rear, you must
use the seat belts 7 fig. 172.
When the seat belt 8 fig. 172 is not
worn, insert the tab 9 into the buckle
10.

same way as for the front seat belts.Access to the last row: to facilitate
access to the last row, release the
second row seat belt from the buckle
13 fig. 174.

WARNING
87)Seat belts that are not adjusted or are
twisted could cause injuries in case of an
accident. Use one seat belt per person,
child or adult. Even pregnant women have
to fasten their seat belts. In this case, make
sure the pelvis belt does not press too hard
on the lower stomach area, but not be too
loose either.
88)Make sure the rear seat belts are
positioned and operating properly after
adjusting the single rear seat.
89)To make full use of seat belt protection,
make sure the rear single seat is locked in
place. Read the "Single rear seat"
paragraph in the "Knowing your vehicle”
chapter.
90)Do not change the originally installed
restraining system components in any way:
belts, seats and related fasteners. In
special cases (e.g.: installing a child seat)
see a Fiat Dealership.
91)Do not use anything that could loosen
the buckles (diaper pins, clips, etc.)
because a loose seat belt can cause injury
in case of an accident.
92)Never pass the shoulder belt under
your arm or behind your back.
93)Never use the same belt for more than
one person, and never fasten your seat
belt across a newborn or child you are
holding in your lap.

94)The seat belt must not be twisted.
95)After an accident, check the seat belts
and if necessary replace them. In addition,
replace the seat belts if they start to show
any sign of wear or deterioration.
96)When refitting the single rear seat,
make sure the safety belts and their tabs
are positioned correctly so they can be
used normally.
97)Check that the seat belt locking device
is correctly inserted into the buckle.
98)Do not insert any object that could
block the belt and compromise its correct
operation.
99)Make sure you have positioned the
locking housing (it should not be covered,
crushed or flattened by people or objects).PRE-TENSIONERS
100)
When the pretensioners intervene, they
make the seat belt adhere to the seat
occupant's body, increasing the
effectiveness of the seat belt.
With starter switch on, in the event of a
violent frontal collision, depending on its
magnitude, the system may trigger the
seat belt winder pretensioner 1
fig. 176causing it to retract the belt
immediately.
LOAD LIMITERS
Depending on the collision’s degree of
violence, this mechanism activates to
limit the seat belt action against the
body to a supportable level.
WARNING
100)Check the safety devices after every
accident. Any intervention on the complete
system (pre-tensioners, air bags, electronic
modules, wiring) or re-use on another
vehicle, even if identical, is strictly
prohibited. In order to prevent accidental
deployments that could cause damage,
only qualified Fiat Dealership personnel can
intervene in pre-tensioners and air bags.
Checking the electrical features of the
actuator can only be effected by
specifically prepared personnel using the
proper tools. When the vehicle is
scrapped, see a Fiat Dealership to remove
the pre-tensioner gas generator and air
bags.
