For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat up-
right, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips. Always fasten the seat
belts on both the front and the rear
seats. Travelling without seat belts
will increase the risk of severe injury
and even death in the event of an ac-
cident.
WARNING
Never disassemble or tamper
with the seat belt or preten-
sioner components. All interventions
must be performed by qualified and
authorised personnel only. Always go
to a Fiat Dealership
WARNING
If the belt has been subject-
ed to heavy stress, for ex-
ample after and accident, it should be
changed completely together with
the anchors, anchor fastening screws
and the pretensioners. In fact, even if
the belt has no visible defects, it could
have lost its resilience.
WARNING
Each seat belt may only be
used by one person at a
time: do not carry children on your
lap with one seat belt protecting
both. In general, do not place any ob-
jects between the person and belt.
