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

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.
