OPERATION OF REAR
SEAT BELT SYMBOLS
The icons are shown on the display
(fig. 77 versions with multifunction
display or fig. 78 versions with
reconfigurable multifunction display)
after a few seconds have elapsed since
the ignition device is turned to MAR.
The symbols are displayed according to
the corresponding seat belts and turn
off at least 30 seconds after the doors
have been closed or after a change in
the seat belt fastening status.
for versions with multifunction display:
seat belt unfastened
seat belt fastened
for versions with reconfigurable
multifunction display:
seat belt unfastened
seat belt fastened.
The symbols shown on the display
indicate:
A: rear left seat belt;
B: rear central seat belt;
C: rear right seat belt.
If a rear seat belt is unfastened, an
acoustic warning (3 "beeps") will be
activated along with the relevant symbol
lighting up on the display.
Furthermore the symbols will light up
again for 30 seconds each time one of
the rear doors is closed.
The symbol will change state after the
corresponding seat belt has been
fastened again.

SAFETY

After about 30 seconds from the last
indication, the rear seat symbols will
switch off, irrespective of the seat belt
status.
IMPORTANT NOTES
As far as the rear seats are concerned,
the SBR system will only indicate
whether the seat belts are unfastened
or fastened, not the presence of any
passengers.
The warning lights/symbols are all off if
all seat belts (front and rear) are
fastened when the ignition device is at
MAR.
For the rear seats, the symbols will
activate a few seconds after the ignition
device has been turned to MAR,
regardless of the status of the seat belts
(even if the seat belts are all fastened).
All the warning lights/symbols will come
on when at least one belt changes from
fastened to unfastened status or vice
versa.PRE-TENSIONERS
The vehicle is equipped with front seat
belt pretensioners, which draw back the
seat belts by several centimetres in the
event of a strong frontal impact. This
guarantees the perfect adherence of
the seat belts to the occupant's bodies
before the retention action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the safety belt
withdraws toward the retractor.
This vehicle is also equipped with a
second pretensioner (in the kick plate
area). Its activation is signalled by the
shortening of the metal cable and rolling
up of the protective sheath.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not involve any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any
changes to its original conditions will
invalidate its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events (floods,
sea storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and/or mud, contact
a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the torso and pelvis.LOAD LIMITERS
74)
35)
To increase safety in the event of an
accident, the front seat belt retractors
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
75) 76) 77)
Seat belts must also be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in the
event of an accident is 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 pelvis and under
the abdomen fig. 79. While pregnancy
progresses, the driver must adjust both
seat and steering wheel to have full
control over the vehicle (pedals and
steering wheel must be easy to
access). The maximum clearance
should be kept between the abdomen
and the steering wheel.
83

The seat belt must not be twisted. The
upper part must pass over the shoulder
and cross the chest diagonally. The
lower part must adhere to the pelvis
fig. 80, not to the abdomen of the
occupant. Never use devices (clips,
clamps, etc.) that hold the seat belt
away from your body.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. 81.
In general, do not place any objects
between the person and the belt.
SEAT BELTS
MAINTENANCE
For keeping the seat belts in efficient
conditions, carefully observe the
following warnings:
always use the seat belt well
stretched and never twisted; make sure
that it is free to run without
obstructions;
check seat belt operation as follows:
attach the seat belt and pull it hard;
replace the belt after an accident of a
certain severity even if it does not
appear to be damaged. Always replace
the seat belt if the pretensioners were
deployed;
prevent the retractors from getting
wet: their correct operation is only
guaranteed if water does not get inside;
replace the seat belt when it shows
wear or cuts.
WARNING
74)The pretensioner may be used only
once. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have it
replaced after it has been deployed.
75)Removing or otherwise tampering with
pretensioner and seat belt components is
strictly prohibited. Any intervention on
these components must be performed by
qualified and authorised technicians.
Always go to a Fiat Dealership.
76)For maximum safety, keep the backrest
upright, lean back into it and make sure the
seat belt fits closely across your chest and
pelvis. Always fasten the seat belts for both
the front and rear seats! Travelling without
wearing seat belts will increase the risk of
serious injury and even death in the event
of an accident.
77)If the belt has been subjected to high
levels of stress, for example after an
accident, it should be changed completely
together with the attachments, attachment
fixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact,
even if the belt has no visible defects, it
may have lost its resilience.

SAFETY

IMPORTANT
35)Operations which lead to impacts,
vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C
for a maximum of six hours) in the area
around the pretensioner may cause
damage or make it deploy. Contact a Fiat
Dealership should intervention be
necessary on these components.
CHILD PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
CARRYING CHILDREN
SAFELY
78) 79) 80) 81)
For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated
and wearing adequate restraint
systems, including newborn and other
children!
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of
1.50 metres and up to 12 years must
be protected with suitable restraint
systems and be seated on the rear
seats.
Statistics on accidents indicate that the
rear seats offer greater safety for
children.
Compared with an adult, a child's head
is larger and heavier in proportion to
their body and the child's muscular and
bone structures are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems
other than adult seat belts are
necessary, to reduce as much as
possible the risk of injuries in the event
of an accident, braking or sudden
manoeuvre.Children must be seated safely and
comfortably. Depending on the
characteristics of the child restraint
systems used, you are advised to keep
children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as possible
(at least until 3-4 years old), since this is
the most protected position in the event
of an impact.
It is recommended to always choose
the restraint system most suitable for
the child; for this reason always refer to
the Owner Handbook provided with the
child restraint system, to be sure that it
is of the right type for the children it is
intended for.
In Europe the characteristics of child
restraint systems are ruled by the
regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group Weight groups
Group 0up to 10 kg in
weight
Group 0+up to 13 kg in
weight
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22 - 36 kg
85

All restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori MOPAR
®includes child
restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are
recommended having been specifically
designed for Fiat vehicles.
FITTING A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
WITH SEAT BELTS
The Universal child restraint systems
installed with the seat belts only are
type-approved on the basis of the ECE
R44 standard and are divided into
various weight groups.
82) 83) 84) 85)
IMPORTANT The figures are indicative
and provided for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which
must be included.
Group 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
with a rear facing child restraint system
of a type as shown in fig. 82 which,
supporting the head, does not induce
stress on the neck in the event of
sudden decelerations.
The child restraint system is secured by
the vehicle seat belts, as shown in
fig. 82 and it must restrain the child in
turn with its own belts.Group 1
Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may
be transported in forward facing child
restraint systems fig. 83.

SAFETY

Group 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may be
restrained directly by the car seat belts
fig. 84.
In this case, the child restraint system is
used to position the child correctly with
respect to the seat belts so that the
diagonal belt section crosses the child’s
chest and not the neck, and the lower
part is snug on the pelvis not the
abdomen.Group 3
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg,
there are dedicated restraint systems
that allow the seat belt to be worn
correctly.
The fig. 85 shows the correct child
positioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear
seat belts like adults.

INSTALLING AN ISOFIX
CHILD CARSEAT
86) 87) 87) 88)
The rear side seats of the vehicle are
equipped with ISOFIX anchors, for
fitting child restraint systems quickly,
simply and safely. The ISOFIX system
lets you install the ISOFIX child
restraining system without using the car
seat belts but connecting them directly
to the carseat with three anchors in the
car.
Traditional child restraint systems can
be fitted alongside ISOFIX child restraint
systems on different seats in the same
vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach it to the two metal
anchors 1 fig. 86 located behind the
cushion of the rear seat, in the point
where it meets the backrest, then fix the
upper hook of the child restraint system
to the dedicated anchor 2
fig. 87 located behind the seat
headrest.
As an example, fig. 89 shows an
example of a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system for weight group 1.
IMPORTANT The fig. 89 is indicative
and for assembly purposes only. Fit the
child restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be included.When a Universal ISOFIX child restraint
system is used, only ECE R44 "ISOFIX
Universal” (R44/03 or further upgrades)
type-approved child restraint systems
can be used (see fig. 88 ).
