The fabric upholstery of your
car is designed to withstand
the normal wear and tear of
your car for a long time. Some
precautions are however needed. Avoid
prolonged rubbing against clothing ac-
cessories, such as metal buckles, Velcro
strips and the like, which by applying a
high pressure on the fabric in a small
area could cause the breakage of some
threads and damage the upholstery.
Seat height adjustment
(where provided) fig. 27
Move lever Bupwards or downwards to
achieve the required height.
IMPORTANT Adjustment must be car-
ried out only seated in the relevant seat.
FRONT SEATS

All adjustments must be
made with the car stationary.
WARNING

Lift lever Aand push the seat forwards
and backwards: your arms should rest on
the steering wheel rim while you are dri-
ving.
After releasing the lever, al-
ways check that the seat is
locked on the guides by trying to
move it backwards and forth. If it is
not locked, the seat may move unex-
pectedly and make you loose control
of the car.

right, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips.

The rear seat belts must be used as shown
in the diagram in fig. 2.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1
The belt should be worn keeping the chest
straight and rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, take hold the
tongue Aand insert it into the buckle B,
until hearing the locking click.
At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a
short stretch, then pull it out again with-
out jerking.
Press button Cto release the belt. Ac-
company the belt while it is being re-
wound to prevent twisting.
Through the reel, the belt automatically
adapts to the body of the passenger wear-
ing it, allowing freedom of movement.
The reel may lock when the car is parked
on a steep slope: this is perfectly normal.
Furthermore, the reel mechanism locks
the belt if it is pulled and in the event of
sudden braking, collisions and on high
speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three anchor points and reel.

ADJUSTING THE FRONT SEAT
BELT HEIGHT
Always adjust the seat belt height to the
passenger’s body: this precaution may
considerably reduce the risk of injury in
the event of a collision.
Correct regulation is obtained when the
belt passes approximately half way be-
tween the shoulder and the neck.
To adjust, move the grip A-fig. 3of the
locking mechanism either up or down and
at the same time move the ring B-fig. 3
to the most suitable of the allowed posi-
tions.

IMPORTANT Make sure the backrest is
correctly fastened when returning it to the
position of normal use after folding it. S.B.R. SYSTEM
The car is fitted with the S.B.R. system
(Seat Belt Reminder), consisting of a
buzzer which, together with the turning
on of warning light
panel, warns the driver to fasten the seat
belt.
The buzzer can be deactivated (until the
next engine stop) as follows:
❒fasten the driver’s and passenger’s seat
belt;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR;
❒wait for over 20 seconds and then re-
lease one of the seat belts.
For permanent deactivation, contact Fiat
Dealership.
With digital display, the S.B.R. system can
only be reset at Fiat Dealership.
Remember that in the event
of a violent collision, back
seat passengers not wearing seat belts
also represent a serious danger for
the front seat passengers.
WARNING
Make sure the backrest is
properly secured at both
sides to prevent it moves forward in
the event of sharp braking causing in-
juries to passengers.

PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the seat belts,
the car is fitted with pretensioners. These
devices, in the event of a violent crash,
rewind the seat belts a few centimetres.
In this way they ensure that the seat belt
adheres perfectly to the wearer before the
restraining action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that the de-
vice has intervened; the seat belt cannot
be drawn back up even when guiding it
manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-
gree of protection from the action of the
pretensioner, wear the seat belt keeping
it firmly close to the chest and pelvis.
A slight amount of smoke may be detect-
ed during operation of the pretensioners.
This smoke is not harmful and does not
indicate a fire.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or greasing.
Anything that modifies its original condi-
tions invalidates its efficiency.
If due to unusual natural events (floods,
seas storm, etc.) the device has been af-
fected by water and mud, it must neces-
sarily be replaced.LOAD LIMITERS
To increase passenger’s safety, the front
seat belt reels contain a load limiter which
allows controlled sag in such a way as to
dose the force acting on the chest and
shoulders during the belt restraining ac-
tion in case of front crash.The pretensioner can only
be used once. Go to a Fiat
Dealership to have it replaced after
is has been deployed. The expiration
date is shown on the label in the odd-
ment compartment: go to a Fiat
Dealership to have the device re-
placed when the expiration date ap-
proaches.
WARNING
Operations which lead to
knocks, vibrations or localised
heating (over 100°C for a
maximum of 6 hours) in the
area around the pretensioners may
cause damage or trigger them. These
devices are not affected by vibrations
caused by irregularities of the road sur-
face or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc.
Contact a Fiat Dealership for any as-
sistance.
